shore and father told us stories. OF
the children who composed these pic
MICS, two died in service in this war,
two were wounded and all but one
volunteered, regardless of age, at the
outbreak of hostilities
When were were all still little tad
poles father went to the war with
Spain. We were too little, of course,
to appreciate anything except the
glamour When he decided to go
almost all his friends and advisers
told him he was making a mistake.
Indeed | think my mother was the
only one who felt he was doing right.
In talking 1t over afterward when |
had grown much older, father ex-
| planned to me that in reaching self
defense and willingness to fight for
a proper cause he could not be ef
fective if he refused to go when the
! opportunity came and urged that 1T
was different" in his case. He often
said, Tied, | would much rather ex
| plain why | went to the war than why
did not"
At school and college father encour~
| aged us to take part in the games and
| sports. None of us was really good
! athlete-father himself was not--but
| we all put into it all we had. He was
| Just as much interested in hearing
| what we had done on the second foot
| ball team or class crew as If we had
been varsity stars.
He always preached to us one max
Tim in particular: Take all the legiti-
| mate chances in your favor when go
ing into contest. He used to enforce
| this by telling us of man with whom
| he had once been hunting. The man
| was naturally a better walker than
| father. Father selected his shoes with
| great care. The man did not. After
| the first few days father was always
| able to outwalk and outhunt him just
on this account. Father always went
| over his equipment with the greatest
| care before going on a trip. and this
! sort of thoroughness was imbued in
! all his sons.
| Long before the European war had
broken over the world father would
| discuss with us military training and
! the necessity for every man being able
to take his part.
/ A Matter of Law.
\ Tied. every man should defend his
| country" | can remember him say
| ing to me. ut should not be a matter
of choice; it should be matter oil
law. Taxes are levied by law. They
are not optional. 1t is not permitted
for a man to say that it is against his
religious beliefs to pay taxes or that
he feels that 1t is an abrogation of his
own personal freedom. The blood tar
is more important than the dollar tax
It should not be therefore volun-
tary contribution. but should be levied
on all alike"
Father was much interested in Gen.
eral Woods camps for the training OF
the younger boys and was heartily In
sympathy with them. Both Archie anc
Quentin attended them. Quentin hao
a badly strained back at the time, bu
that did not keep him from going.
H At the sinking of the Lusitania ar
even keener realization of the gravity
of the situation was evident all over
the country. A number of younger
men, between the ages of II and 50
met together to talk things over. Ir
this group were Granville Clarke

Cotton Crop Report as Issued by the
Commercial Appeal Today. Shows
Condition Report of 1876.

Reports sent in by correspondents
of The Commercial Appeal indicate
that the condition of the cotton crop
as of June 20 was 1872 per cent n1-
NAL. This compares with a condition
of 76.S per cent at May 20, and $40
per cent at the corresponding date In
1918.
This years crop, reports indicate,
will be grown on approximately 30
000,0 600 acres last year, allowing for
up to June 20. This is equivalent to
a reduction of about 20 p r cent in ac-
creage compared with last year.
Our reports indicate that 94.7 per
cent Of the acreage intended for cot
ton was planted, and that 80 per
cent of the acreage planted has been
abandoned.
This report is basel upon CORE
spondents covering in detail 1872 cot
ton-producing counties included in the
10 principal cotton-growing states,
and is general as to all others.

Crop from ten days to three weeks

much rain. Low lands have suffered
particularly on account of water
