EFFECT OF THE WAR
ON WEATHER CONDITIONS

The belief is pretty general that
the violent gun-fre on the battle
fields Of France has had much to do
with the drouth which has so serious
" affected this country the past two
years, but according to the following
issued by the U. s. Weather Bureau,
there is no reason for this belief:
@There is nothing in it." the United
States weather Bureau announced to-
day in reply to repeated inquiries as
to whether the war affects rainfall or
any other weather conditions.
The popular belief that conclusions,
explosions and the liberation Of gases
in the European conflict is having an
effect on the weather, not only over
the battlefelds, but elsewhere on the
globe, is only fancy, said the wealth
er specialists.

Indications that some new and inn

COTTON YIELD NOT PROMISING.

Rust and other numerous troubles
to which cotton IS heir have greatly
affected the yield What at one time
promised to be an unusually good crop
Of cotton is anything but promising
now. Rust or the red spider has
killed the stalk, and much cotton has
prematurely opened. IN many fields
there is not a leaf on the stalks, and
practically every boil is open. A
number Of planters think the Reveil-
les estimate Of 5000 bales for Clai-
borne county is too high, that we viii
not exceed the crop of last year, which
was something over 5000 bales,

WANT couRT PERTERMITTEp.

The Board Of Supervisors, at its
meeting this week, made a strong
Plea that Judge Brien pretermit the
September term Of court, Several
good reasons are given for the re-
quest: the financial condition Of the
county; the busy season and scarcity
Of labor; the government registration,
which will require much Of the time
of the county officials, and the fact
that none Of the business to come be-
fore the term is too important TO be
continued.

Conan Doyle, he British writer, in
sists that Germany must suffer some
of the devastation Of war which it has
visited on Frace and Belgium. He be-
lieves that when the German mill
tary power finds that it can no long

it will want to make peace before Hun
territory feels the destructive hand
Of war; but he is unwilling that peace
be declared until the Allies have
marched to Berlin He says:

was staged at the Famous Players
studio on the hottest day of the summer
and when Mr.. Moore was delSged by
the contents of the bottle it felt SO
cool that Director Del Henderson
almost had to resort to blows in order
to force him tske of the wet clothes
and don dry regalia SO that the picture
could be continued.

WILL GET BENEFIT
OF CLASSIFICATION.

Reports have it that no more men
will be called on the draft until about
the fifteenth of February, and that
they will then be called under the new
classification.
The married men in this county who
were slated to be called with the next
contingent for Camp Custer have an
excellent chance of being listed under
class of the new classification. This
would make them liable for service
only after the three previous classes
have been exhausted. 1t will be re-
membered that four married men in
this county had claims for exemptions
denied by the district board and were
slated to 60 with the next contingent
under the old ruling.
