Numerous other accounts of little
sacrifices at this busy season on the
farm were told, but there were no
tales of regret and no intimation of
slackerism.
From 10 to SO men had assembled
at the appointed hour and designated
places. Without delay they got down
to business with the representatives
of the treasury department explaining
the details of the plan of campaign as
they had BEEN instructed. There was
not hitch anywhere. Every district
caught IN to the idea at once and
quickly had the sub divisions of the
districts laid out and community or
CARNATIONS formed. Each district was
divided into from three to eight COM
munities, with strong organizations
in EACH In some instances these COM
munities were in turn subdivided and
organizations formed. In every dis
trict the organization will reach to
every farm and every individual in
the county
On Friday, June rs, the government
has ordered that the citizens assemble
In their respective communities for
the purpose of pledging their respec-
tive quota of War Savings Stamps.
Under the plans as formulated at the
councils Tuesday, Maury county will
on that day have not less than so
such community meetings.
This again indicates how small the
project is when it is divided into
community groups. If each commun-
ity in the county pledges an average
Of a little more than $4,000 each, the
required 100000 will be attained.
Reports of Tuesdays meetings are
being compiled today by Chairman H.
0. Fulton, who will forward them to
the government authorities, showing
who was absent at each place and
why. showing the organization that
was formed at each place and the en-
thusiasm manifested, and giving a
complete review of the situation here
preparatory to the great day on June
20.

UNPATRIOTIC BAKING DAYS.

On the whole ii was a patriotic
meal with plenty of potatoes and
a salad culled from the war garden
along with the green beans. But
one of the guests had Stirred up a
cake" for the occasion, layer cake
with thick chocolate frosting.
The donor of the cake was be-
wailing the fact that the cake wasn't
so good as she'd like to have such
product of her art. 81 haven't
had any luck with cakes at all this
summer. They fall, or they arc
heavy, or something is wrong ev-
cry time. The other morning | took
cake out of the oven. 1t hadn'
risen as it should. Well, | was so
disgusted that | stirred up another
kind right away and put that in.
And do you know, the second one
turned out worse than the first :"
In her despair this woman had then
decided that it was not her baking
day, and had gone about washing
the front porch.
"One OF my neighbors say it is
not a matter of luck. It is this
queer flour they give us nowadays.
One wonders where that woman
lives and what she reads, that she
should still want to make the rich
cakes of pre-war days. Patriotic
women are not making pies or
cakes any more, and delcctable lit
tie mullins or tea biscuits are not |
on the family menu. Their success
sors in the form of corn mullins,
bran rolls, oatmeal gems, etc, are
used instead. There are even some
wartime cakes made with a Substi-
tute flour and sweetened with
honey instead of sugar. AS for
frosting, it simply is not made in
the patriotic household.
Any woman who persists in in
dulging herself and her family in
these luxuries, when the whole
country is saving wheat and sugar
for our allies, deserves all the bad
uck possible on baking days.

THE SELF-SERVE GROCERY.

Efficient grocery clerks are as
difficult TO procure and keep as any
other class of employees. a grocer
in a middle western town has solv-
ed his war problem by re-arranging
his store on serve-self plan.
In the front of the store are
sold the things that require the at
tention of a clerk, fruits, vegetables
and bulk groceries that must be
measured or wrapped. There a cap
able clerk aided by the grocer waits
on customers.
The rest of the store is convent
emily arranged so that the customer
may go quietly along before the
shelves. helping herself to goods
put up in cans, boxes, packages,
bottles, etc. The prices are care
fully marked where the purchaser
can see them easily. When every
thing is procured the checking
clerk makes out the bill and the
customer pays the cashier on her
way out of the store.
To help oneself to a can OF sal
mon, a box OF cereal and a loaf OF
wrapped bread is surely big i'm
provement over the usual method
OF waiting patiently your turn TO be
waited on in a crowded store. It
looks like a sensible arrangement
and one that should cut down ex-
pcnses for dealer and consumer
alike, as well as add 10 the effic-
iency OF the store.

cent returns indicated. Nevertheless
the deterioration is likely to be con-
siderable owing to the long stretch
of unfavorable dry hot weather west
of the Mississippi river, and it is
possible that the bureau next Thurs
day may point to crop OF about
100000 bales against 1925 900
last month, linters not included.
At this time last year crop of
100000 ! bales was indicated, and
final ginning were 100000 bales.
Year before last the August bureau
report pointed to a yield of 1910
900 bales. Final results were only
ll,450,000 bales, linters excluded
New Orleans received the first
new bale today from south Louisi-
ana, and Shreveport reported the ar
rival of the first new bale there this
morning from north Louisiana, in
dicating the crop to he very early
in both sections of the state.
Next week the market will likely

SOUTH COTTON CROP
MAY Be CUT DOWN
DRY WEATHER WEST OF
MISSISSIPPI RIVER RE-
DUCING PROSPECTS
(By II. and b. BeerS)

New Orleans, La, July 27.-Re-
suits OF the continuance of the dry
hot weather in the southwest, en-
bracing Louisiana, Arkansas, Okla
homa and Texas, more especially in
the last two states, are reflected in
private monthly crop condition re-
ports that point to a much smaller
crop than was indicated one month
ago when the government fore
casted a Yield of l5,325 900 bales, ex-
elusive Of linters.
Recently it was rumored that re-
turns to the National Ginners' AS
sociation averaged the condition of
the growing crop aat 75.5 against
So.5 last month, and it is reported
today that returns to the Southern
Products Company average the con-
dition OF the growing plant at Is
against S+.7 one month ago.
The greatest deterioration from
June 25 to July Is in the past SO
points. SO far rumors concerning
private reports point to deteriora-
tion of II and 81 points, respect
lively, or an average for the past
month Of 1913 points, which, if con-
hrmed by the government bureau
would be a new record for deterior-
alton 70 tn last period.
However, several more private
crop condition reports will be issued
next week in advance of the gov
ernment report, due August |, and it
is possible, il not probable that some
OF them will show smaller de
terioration for the month than re-
