produces in the heart of the one prayed
for a feeling equally strong that he
ought to be saved.
Not that God converts any n
against his will, for conversion means
the surrender Of ones will, but that
God In answer to believing prayer can
put the sinner INTO such a hell Of con-
viction that he will gladly accept
Christ In order to get out.
Some years ago, In a town in Ohio,
four women who had unsaved hus-
bands agreed to meet once a week to
pray for the conversion of these four
men. After a few weeks one Of them
was saved and joined with the four
women in praying for the other three
men. A little later a second man
surrendered and Joined the circle, and
en- confine themselves merely to pray
err, but by their daily life and ex-
ample and testimony did all they
could to help answer their own pray
ers. Finally on a certain day the
four wives and three husbands
agreed to meet to pray for the onver
sion of the fourth husband. When his
wife returned from the meeting, she
found her husband glad to see her.
He said: II know where you have
been, and what you have been doing,
and I am glad to tell you that you
needn't pray for me any longer, for I
have accepted Christ as my Savior"
Not only does prayer bring convic-
ton Of sin, remove difficulties, and
soften prejudices; but often 1t opens
the way for us to meet the very per-
son whom we desire to help. I heard
a minister say recently that he was
urgently requested to interview and
lead to Christ a lady who was entirely
unknown to him. She did not attend
his church, and he had no reasonable
excuse for calling upon her. He be-
gan to pray that God would open the
way for a meeting, and the very next
Sunday at the close of the service a
lady came up and introduced herself
to him and it proved to be the very
one whom he was anxious to meet.

age OF the schools we now have.
1t is a pity that all children can
not have comfortable and refined
equipment but my observation has
been that most of the country chill
dren in this part of Tishomingo
county have better equipment in the
school houses than in the habita-
tions called 'home," especially
those of the renters. The child
spends about two-thirds of his time
in his home during the school term,
then all the time, and it seems to
me folly to tax people for better
equipment than they can afford in
their homes.

ers, 1t takes just as much money
to provide proper surroundings for
the child of the section hand as for

Club Boys Camp at State Fair

The prize winning club boys from

tertained by the Club Department
of the Extension Force in a Club
Boys Camp to be held at the State
Fair, Jackson. October 20-25. One
of these boys will be the prize-win-

prize-winner in the pig club. Club
Specialist, J. e. Sides, will be in
charge of the camp.

boys of the several counties willr re-

boys, and will, under the direction
of Mr.. Sides and other club work
ers, receive the largest possible ben
efits, both educational and social
from the Fair.
The county agents, it is hoped,
will be able 10 make local arrange
ments for defraying the travelling
expenses of these boys. Club mem.

get in immediate touch with the

most cases unable to comprehend
Americanism OF this description.

BOIL WEEVlL. CUTS
THE CROP PROSPECT
Worms Causing Serious Dam
age, Especially in Texas.
BY GEO. L. FOsSICK.


Reports by correspondents of The
Commercial Appeal indicate that
the cotton crop has deteriorated
generally and in some states rather
severely. The exception is Okla
homa. and into modified degree,
Tennessee.
Change in condition varied from
deterioration OF about 8 points in
Alabama to a gain of l or 2 points
in Oklahoma. deterioration gener-
ally was rather more pronounced in
the eastern and central belt than in
the west.
Weather conditions on the whole
were more favorable than otherwise,
but depreciation was due to such
Independent causes as lateness,
worms and weevil damage and the
insecure position of the plant
brought about By early vicissitudes.
Some of these causes were agera-
vated by light TO moderate rains,
which ordinarily would have been
beneficial and were actually needed
for crops other than cotton,
This report covers the period from
Aug. 20, on which date we showed
a percentage condition of 50 6, up to
and including Sept. 10. 1t is based
on correspondence covering in detail

THE INCOME TAX.

Plans for the issuance early in De
cember of forms for filing income and
excess profits tax returns are being
made by the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue. Taxpayers will thus be given
the opportunity of making out their
returns Immediately upon the closing
of their books for the year 1919, when
accurate knowledge of their accounts
is fresh in their minds.
As a convenience to themselves
and as a means of expediting the
work of the Government, taxpayers
are urged by the Bureaus in a state
ment issued Nov. 10, to avail them
selves of this opportunity. The per
iod for filing is from January ! TO
March Is, 1920.
If the tax is paid in quarterly in
stallments, one-fourth of the amount
must accompany the filing of the re-
turn.
Form 1904 viii be used for filing

returns of income in excess of that
amount.
The normal rate of tax for 1919,
provided for in the Revenue Act of
1918, is 4 per cent on the first $4,000
above the e xemptions, and per cent
on the remaining net income. The
