ulation in wool It should be said, in all fairness to the wool men, that when the United States entered into the war
 the wool men offered to supply the gov ernment with all of the wool necessary at the then existing price, but the gov
 erument didn't deem it necessary at the
 time to accept the offer. Interruptions men, however, took advantage of the sit
 uation, and it is the situation that has | been created by these men that the | United States government aims to cor rect by taking over the wool supply of the country for the time being
 Ut is safe to say that the entire amount of wool used by the Red Cross would not cause ripple in the wool market compared with the trouble caused by speculation. Nor am I aware that the ouarternaster's department has ever even hinted that the use of yarn by the Red Cross was an interference with war contracts or even menace to those con tracts
 'sMr, Dale states in all his articles that the annual production of secured wool in this country is ll0,0OO,oOo In the article which you quote he has omitted a statement which he mas made in other articles, such as the one published in the Journal and Courier of Little Falls, N. Y, that this 110,-
  ounces of manufactured wool for each I linhabitant of the United States, and l he has laid very much stress on this point. Admitting that his figures are correct as regards the 110,00oOOO pounds of secured wool. it should be | clearly understood what secured wool means. Secured wool is wool that has been freed of all extraneous matters | and it is at it's 1ightest point in weight Now 12 ounces of manufactured wool means a total weight of 75,0oO,O00 pounds for the people of this country lit would be interesting to know what lhas become of the other S5,000.0O0 pounds. I am aware that there is a certain waste in the processes incident to manufacturing, but am very cer- tain that S5,0o0,oo0 pounds would not go to waste in these processes. And | further, it should be known that there are at least 15,000,000 people in this
 country, largely south of Mason and
 Dison's line, whose per capita con
 sumption of wool wouldn't average | four ounces.

scouts. A second glance showed several Prussian officers stretched out on the floor. One man, whose face was covered with blood, came rushig to the window calling for help and Shfftail shot him with his revolver.
 Then both the Indians turned and fled. It was not a minute too soon, as there were wild, random shot flying about. The Indians heard the beating of a drum calling the Germans to arms and accel- erated their flight. Apparently, the en- emy thought the Americans were upon them.
 On their way back to their own lines the chief was mortally wounded. Sergt Vidal Zunidha, a member of another pa trol, caused the dying Indian to De brought in on a stretcher and placed be- side another of the Indians who had been wounded.

them also, for there is less of pro- tection against the winter weather in France than in this country. And, what is more, the men will need them this next winter, both in France and this country, so there should be no fear that there will be an oyersupply of sweaters and socks.
 It may be true that better knitting can be done by machinery, but thers is not that sense of intimacy or sem timent in a garment made by ma- chine, given to a soldier in wartime. which a garment made by the hands of some patriotic woman possesses. This may seem like cheap sentiment, but that is what the Kaiser would call the sentiment of democracy for which the world is fighting.
 As to ships, or the lack of ships, in the Pacific ocean, to move the Autral- ian wool, l am very sure from what I know that this country will have more
 wool than it can use in very few months.
 But one of the worst implications ] in MT. Dale's communication, although ! he may not have intended it, is that the Red Cross uses both it's money and 1 it's energy almost exclusively in knit ting. He should remember that the Red 1 iCross has a very grNat and grave duty 1 to perform in this war besides the mere making of knitted goods. and that it has performed this work so effectively in France. Belgium, Italy and other countries that General Petain has said l that, in the case of France alone, the American Red Cross had so fortified | the morale of the French people last year as to be equal in value to an army of 1,500,000 men. It has been one of the great evidences to all the allied countries that America is behind them.
 "So feel that such criticisms as Mir. Dale makes rather tend to weaken the spirit of patriotism in our people than to strengthen it. When the house is on | fire there is no time for petty family squabbles, and often in putting out the fire more water is used than is neces- sary."

 been given any of the men who have been called to the army.
 A small red spider that covers the cotton plants like red rust is playing havoc with the cotton crop of this sec
 tion. The spiders came at time that
 normal and some fields have been stripped of their fruit. The full ex-
 tent of the damage has not been as certained because for a considerable time the planters thought the insect was red rust and adopted no preven- tive measures. The government experts have prescribed a method of combat ting the insect.
 The Madison county board of com missioners have ordered a considerable mileage of rebuilt bikes as well as new connecting bikes to be built during the present season. On petition of the peo- pie of Madison. who want an improved road from, that town to Huntsville, the commissioners agreed to devote $4
 for improvement for every $1 that the people along the road will make up. The Madison eople have made up
 $25.o00 and as the roposition stands the commissioners propose to make good on their promise and fine road having a right of way 50 feet wide will be built New bikes in many parts or the county were authorized and sew eral new bridges ordered built.

JOYS OF WASH DAY

Wash day is one of the joys of life in camp, according to former gulf division director who is now in training in an officers school It's a survival of the fittest waen it comes to which of the 75 men are going to use the five tubs the camp boasts of. But here is the let ter:
 Well, this is Sunday, and I have had a glorious morning in the wash tub There is no good laundry arrangement rope, or rather, wardrobe-this isn't Ha- waii. So I had to sacrifice my holi- day.
 This is rot so simple matter in the army. this washing, as you might suppose. There are five tubs to be di- vided between 2 or more able-bodied washers It is matter of survival of the fittest
 While I am no Hercules, and no shark on the strong arm stuff, through the strategical employment of my bean I was able to execute flanking movement and gained possession of a shower bath. This really was an advantage over the tub for you can wash number or articles at once. those you are scrub ping and those you have on. But the battle isn't over yet, for one must have place to hang 'em. This brings on another general engagement as good hanging places are scarce. Well.
 it is beginning to rain, so I'll have to
 bring in the wash, as everything is about half dry and the sun may shine tomor' row and finish the job
