THE WEAKER SEX

He a type to
A man-yes, but oh, subtle.
He fed cheese and crackers,
AS picknicked hot day,
And talked--no, I listened
And | nibbed at my cheese and soggy crackers
Pretending it was all sufficient and I let him
talk away.
I grew pale and sentimental; hunger makes me
feel that way.
"Chacun ragout," I quoted, as I munched
my bit of cheese.
He laughed. l know he thought clever
Did he say so2 No, not Hell
He said what all my friends have told me
Maybe not clevery:
Your hair is black and shiny but
You fix it atrocously. -
Then we wandered home together and he said
goodby to me.
And I-oh, I hate that Man-and I'm still so
hungry. FL1sK
No apprehension need be felt about the
military ability of Major General Dickman
General Diclman was in command Of the
troops the vessel we crossed on, and it
was he who made us stand guard over SIG
men, way down in Hold II, from 10 80 p. m.
to 5:15 a. NJ. in what was known as the war
zone. No other general officer can boast of a
similar achievement.

Editing the Classics

Sir: The wiseacrcs of the movie world
make no bones of changing an authors
titles when they screen a version of his
story. Witness "You're Fired" for O.
Henry's "Tho Halberdier of the Little
Rheinschloss"
Now, apparently, they've taken to chang
ing the authors name if the title of the
story is too good to lose
Which leads up to the question:: Was
the famous Irish song "Kathleen Mavour-
neen," written by Tom Moore, or, as the
authorities credit it, by Louisa Crawford ?
The movie advertisers hold to the former.

so that every single, solitary farm
er, merchant, banker, business and
professional man, who has the best
interests of the cotton growers at
heart, throughout the length and
breadth of the cotton belt will be
solicited for membership. Many Of
the states have already put on this
campaign, as the rivalry between
the states to complete their organl-
zation first will be very intense.
"Cotton will never be sold again
for less than a profitable price as a
result of the work of the American
Cotton Association" says ]. Skot-
towe Wannamaker, president of the
association. "a standard warehouse
system to be controlled by the pro-
ducers throughout the entire cotton
belt is one of the primary objects OF
the association. A marketing corpo-
alton which will enable the producer
to sell his cotton at the highest pos
sible price is one of the important
matters which is being worked out.
Both of these plans are fully describ-
ed in Bulletin No. g. which has just
been issued by the association. Al
the New Orleans meeting plans Will
be perfected for the checking OF
crop reports. Arrangements are be-
ing made to have representatives IN
every cotton consuming country in
the world to secure direct informa-
ton as to the need for cotton. The
very best experts in the South Will
be secured for handling crop reports
the association to issue such crop
reports twice monthly.
"The organization Of the Expert
Corporation is being energetlcaliy
pushed to a prompt completion. This
corporation will revolutionize the en-
tire business interests Of the South.

Among the important matters to
be handled is the matter of State
Corporations for the marketing OF
the cotton crop and a standard ware
house system for the entire cotton
belt. There are special committees
actively at work on Banking and
Legislation, Finance and Organiza-
ton, Cotton tare, Marketing and
taking of Cotton report, all of which
will make reports at the meeting of
the Board at New Orleans.
At the New Orleans meeting a
whirlwind campaign for membership
in the Association will be launched,

Women and Children Drowned

Nineteen persons, mostly women
and children, were drowned, and IL
others are missing as the result OF
the overturning of a pleasure launch
on the Warrior river near Tuscaloo-
sa, Ala, Sunday. The vessel, con-
tanning SO persons, had been run
ming up and down the river several
hours carrying the youngsters and
their friends from Tuscaloosa as the
guests of Sam Aston, a local capi-
talist, who since he bought the boat
had been sharing its pleasure with
his townspeople. At point near
Holt, manufacturing suburb, where
the river is about quarter of a mile
wide and its channel 18 feet deep,
the vessel turned over.

CENSUS NEXT YEAR
5000 Employees Will Be Needed
For Work

Uncle Sam is rapidly getting
ready to "take stock. To put it
more clearly, preparations are well
along for the 14th decennial census,
to ne taken in 1920.
The last congress granted an ap-
preparation for the work, and aforce
Of several hundred clerks is busy in
the census bureau making the neces-
sary preparations for the huge tasks,
which must be accomplished in few
weeks.
For this immense job, the bureaus
regular force of about 400 employees
will be expanded to $4,000 or more.
The appropriation which congress
has made for the work is $20,500, 900.
This amount covers also the ordinary
EXPENSES Of the bureau during 1919.
The census will include not only
enumeration of the population of the
Unibed States, continental and insu-
lar, but also canvass of the agri-
cultural, manufacturing, mining and
quarry, oil and gas and other inter
ests of all the States as well as for
the District of Columbia, Alaska,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa,
and the Canal Zone.
For the purpose of the enumera-
ton, the country has been divided
into 37s supervisory districts, with
supervisor for each, to whom about
$4,000 enumerators will report
The actual enumeration will be
complete in few weeks, although it
will be several months before results
will begin to be known. Nevertheless
the figures will be available much
earlier for the 1920 census than was
the case in 1910, because this time
the census will be as of January 1:
instead of April Is, as in 1910. The
change was made because it is be-
ieved the agricultural census will be
more reliable on the caller date.
Chief interest in the census, OF
course will be in the population, but
q great many interests require much
more detailed information, such as
the ratio of males and females, dis
tribution, degree of illiteracy, pro-
portion of white and blacks, proper
tion of foreign born to native popu-
lation and many other facts that can
be learned only through Uncle Sans
decennial "stock taking" The 1920
census is certain to bring out many
