Miss Stanley Dead

News has been received here of
the recent death of Miss Effie
Stanley, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charley Stanley, at their home at
Des Ark, Arkansas. The SANKEY'S
formerly lived in this county and
have many friends here who
sympathize with them 10 the loss
of their daughter.
Miss Effie was eighteen years
of age and had protested religion
last summer, though had not con-
nected herself with any church.
The death was caused from fever,
the heart being too weak for her
to rally when the fever was re-
duced. The interment occurred
at Des Ark.

GOVERNMENT TRACTOR
Carroll County to Get q Large
Type Machine

Carroll county is to receive one
of the big tractors shipped to the
state highway commission by the
war department..
This tractor is of the large type,
weighing twenty tons and can de.
velop $50 horsepower, 1t was
built for the government during
the war by the Holt Caterpillar
Tractor Company, but was not
shipped to France owning to the
armistice. Eighteen of these big
tractors we're ordered shipped out
from Nashville to counties over
the state the first OF this week.
They are to be used in road build
ing.
The most serious obstacle in the
way of working this tractor in
Carroll county is the no account
bridges of the county will not
hold it up. 1t would take easily
two big graders and do great
work.

CHURCH CENSUS
The lnterchurch Movement Of
Big Importance

This significant movement is
not yet very well known to the
public. 1t contemplates a CON.
plete survey of all the religious
forces of America, reaching into
the remotest corners of every
community of the land. When
once completed it will furnish a
world Of information of incalcul-
able value to the public, and es.
pecially to the working forces of
Christianity.
Rev. GIL. johnson, of Mckenzie,
has been appointed key man"
for Carroll county and is already
getting the work of the survey
under way. He attended the
meeting of the county court Mon.
day and presented the matter to
the members Of that body. The
of the court very kindly
agreed to assist him in securing
the necessary information from
their respective districts. This
at once puts the matter in intelli-
gent hands in the various districts
and guarantees the best results.
The public will wait with much
interest the results of this survey.
This work is all done gratis
though necessary expenses up to q
certain small amount for each
county will be borne by national
headquarters. Any necessary ex-
pense should be reported to Rev.
Geo, L. johnson, Mckenzie, Tenn.

LOCAL FIGHTERS
Red Cross Wants Addresses Of
All in Carroll County

The Home Service Section Of
the Huntingdon Red Cross Chap
ter is asking the citizens Of Car
roll county to help locate all men
who were in the government ser
vice. To do this every citizen
who knows the address of one or
more soldiers, sailors or marines is
requested to send it in. In tbs
way it is hoped to get complete
list.
The government wishes to COM
municate with each one 10 regard
to the continuation Of premium
payments and the conversion Of
term policies into permanent in
surance. The time limit set on i o.
instatements OF the government ID
surance is short, hence the desire
to reach all these men. The gov
eminent has made generous pro-
visions for the reinstatement of IN
surance. All the information on
the subject can be obtained by
asking for the booklets entitled
The Truth About Government
Insurance" and Don't Fall Be-
hind" from che Red Cross Office.
which is able to give any informa-
tion desired By the applicant.
At first many OF the returned
men were very Indifferent about
keeping up the insurance, but
there is now q growing interest 10
the subject and a great many are
reinstating their insurance, either
for the full amount or lesser sums.
The Red Gross is helping to put
on this campaign for the insur-
ance, because it believes it viii be
doing the men q very great service.

BUT LITTLE CHANGED
Cotton Prospects Near the 10.
Year Average

Reports as of August s sent in
by correspondents of The Com-
merciaI Appeal indicate that there
has been no marked change 10 the
general condition Of the cotton
crop since the end-July period, and
that fair to excellent progress has
been made.
We place the condition as of
August s at something between 6S
and SO per cent of a normal, CON.
pared with our condition figure,
3d. yer cent as of July 90. De.
finite percentage figures as of
August 20 will be issued with our
summary and condition report on
August %. The 10.year average
deterioration between July % and
August % as shown BY the govern
ment was 7.6 points.
The reports herewith cover a
period of nearly three weeks from
July 20 to August 8 and is based
on correspondence covering in de-
tail 7S2 counties embraced 10 the
10 principal cotton-groWing states.
Boil weeyil numerous in south
and central Alabama, but less &C.
tive, scattered complaints plant
fruiting poorly, but general con.
dition Alabama crop exhibits no
marked change. Arkansas has
held its own or better. Georgia
crop going backward in south, but
improved elsewhere, without much
alteration percentage coalition as
whole. Looks much better in
Louisiana. Mississippi delta coun-
ties showed splendid progress, but
elsewhere in state only fair to good,
Oklahoma reduced by drouth, but
still a brilliant propect except, for
lateness. Both the Carolinas hold
ing up in most encouraging way,
and little change in the crop pros
pect during period. Tennessee
shows improvement, but rain would
help. Boil worm in Ia counties of
central Texas. but with exception
east and southeast divisions looks
better than a few weeks ago.
Picking has started 10 a few coun-
ties of southwest Texas and in
Florida. Scattered open Bolls in
many sections of the belt. Crop a
few days to about month late.
1t has been little too dry, in
Tennessee, although dry weather
was the thing necessary to put the
crop in condition for laying by.
Most farmers are through. and
while generally speaking. grass
has been kept down, cultivation
fell short of the requirement. The
soil condition, partly as conse-
Quence of lack of cultivation and
due to continued heavy and pack
ing rains during the first. part of
the season, is a drawback. The
general condition of the crop is
better than it was at July 20, but
is far below the l0.year average
mid August condition. The plant
is fruiting we'll and is healthy
looking, but is late by 10 to 80
days. No insect troubles. Temp
eratures above seasonal normal.
Deficiency in rainfall somewhat
relieved by local showers and
moderate rains during last half
of period.
