MOTHER OF II PAWNS COW

New York, July 26.---Mrs. Will fam Hammond of German, Texas, mother of II children, summoned by telegraph to the bedside of her critically ill soldier son, Ruel H.

People do not generally blame a miser for his penurious propensities, They envy him his riches.
 Many man of sense passes for a fool because he tries to exercise a wit that is not his by natural en- dpwment.
 Nothing is more agreeable to a woman than favorable mention of the man she is to marry, but be careful what you say about him after she gets him.
 Many good man stammers,
 And, though it sounds absurd. Each time he starts to tell the truth
 He always breaks his word.
 The hours we dream of happy prospects are more pleasant than the. days that are crowned with real ixation.
 One reason for the outcry against hatterers is that there are SO few good ones. Flattery is one of the incest arts in life.
 What funny thing life really ia. A toothless old woman will yainlv seek recognition for the blue blood in her veins while the whole town goes mad over kitchen maid with the bloom of youth in her cheeks.

Crop Out Of Gruss
 Is Beset By WeeUiI

Memphis, July 28.-Reports sent III by correspondents of the Con1- mercial Appeal indicate that the con dltion of the cotton crop as of July 70, 1919, was 69.9 per cent of nor maj. This compares with a con- dltlon of 73.2 per cent at June 20, and 79 per cent at the close of the end-July period in 1918.
 The condition figures indicate a yield of II 100000 bales, subject to conditions at the end of the sea- son.
 This report is based upon cor lrespondence covering in detail TSP counties included in the ten prin- clpal cotton producing states. Temperature-Mos about sea normal, but below except South Mississippi and Central and North east Alabama. Nights little too cool.
 Rainfall.-Portion of Oklahoma inclined to be droughty and rain needed in Arkansas. Too much rain south and southeast Texas. Unusu- ally heavy rains over the Carolinas and Georgia fatwoods detrimental. Sunshine deficiency for ten days pre- ceding the close of our report and period amounted to one-half to two thirds of the total possible over the Atlantics.
 Labor-Scarcity of labor contin- ues to cause about as much appre- hension as boil weevil and explains m great measure the rather poor state of cultivation.
 | Cultis isation-Cotton remained in the grass too long and cultivation has been neither timely nor thor ough. While most fields are being laid by clean cultivation has been inadequate. Rains now needed in many sections to start cotton to growing that is just out of the grass. The crop is about 80 per cent laid by. Few farmers have finished entirely.
 -AppeAranee of the Plant--Gen- orally the plant is healthy looking but many sections complain it is too small, others that it is overgrown, and in neither case is it fruiting properly. Majority of reports say plant is fruiting well. Reports indi- cate that the crop is from one to four weeks late.
 Tap Root-While most reports in- dicate that there is good tap root many say excessive moisture devel- oped laterals at the expense of the tap root, leaving the plant poorly fortified in the event of dry weath- CT.
 lnsects-There is some complaint of red spider from the Carolinas, Georgia and portions of Alabama, and of army worm from Texas, but boil weevil occupies the center of the stage. Weevil has already caus- ed considerable damage in South Alabama and South Mississippi and is widely prevalent and spreading.

THE IMPERSONAL TOUCH

A KensingtOn boy of seven was lately sent to boarding school and prior to his departure he was in- structed by his parents to write long letters to them, with all the news about himself and the school, and his little companions. So far his communications have been note worthy mainly for brevity and a finely impersonal touch. His latest reads: My dear father and mother Do you know that salt is made of two deadly poisons?
