CROP CONDITIONS
 HERE ARE GOOD
GRASS WORM" NEWEST PEST TO COTTON, DOES LITTLE DAMAGE-BIG CORN YIELD IN PROSPECT.

Burk and Jno. Maan and l.. M. Os- borne spent the first of the week on plantations near Rosedale and other points in that section of Mississippi gathering information about the grass it will attack cotton. But so far gently invaded the cotton section. For several days two weeks ago many cotton planters became alarm ed over the apparent damage the pest was doing to the cotton crop and Professor Lasseter from the col lege of agriculture, Fayetteville, came here and delivered an ad- dress on the characteristics of the worm and the most approved meth ods for combating the pest. The Messrs. Mann and Osborne return ed from their inspection trip in Mississippi very much gratified over the information they gathered. The Mississippi planters stated the worm is really what is known as the north ern army worm and feeds principal lily upon grass. When it cannot find grass it will attack cotton. But so it has done no appreciable damage to the cotton crop in the Rosedale section of Mississippi, and from the reports received in many sec tions of Lee county it has done very l little damage here. It came and left and some authorities claim the eggs left by it will hatch within six weeks and that the young worms may give some trouble later on But those who have been studying the pest are not at all alarmed. l John Gillenwater, residing near Last Chance, stated the other day the worms had done considerable damage to his cotton and on Wed. nesday he began spraying with poi son. F. N. Burke, one of the best posted men in the county on cot ton and cotton pests, stated yester- day he was satisfied we would see no more of the pest in Lee county and that in his judgment the dam. age done was negligible. Present crop prospects in Lee county are Ithe best in several years. Cotton is growing splendidly, fruiting well is being worked thoroughly and with an average season the yield will be abundant. The corn crop is in ex- ce.lent condition, due to the many seasonable rains that came the past month. From every viewpoint the situation is satisfactory. If prices are good prosperity will come ir | great showers.

Business Men Supporting

I'D rather have girl work for

than one who lives at home" said
business man Of the middle west
recently, as he handed over gener-
GUS contribution 10 the building
campaign of the local association.
"She is living under the right sort
of conditions, and she has the feel
ing that she is on her own and
must make good--a feeling she
might not have at home. ) Living
at the Y. w. c. A. gives her proper
influence plus independence. l wish
there were more chances like that
for working girls"
In all parts of the country, busi-
ness men are responding to the call
of the Y. w. C. A. for funds in the
present campaign from much the
same sentiments, the organizers tell
us. They are particularly interest
ed in that organizations plans for
solving the housing problem for
women. Business and professional
women, too, are taking new inter

Choice Of Party
Explained by
Woman

I Writing in the Woman Citizen
Mrs. Frank w. Dodson OF Des
Moines, Ia, says:
"Yes, / can tell you in 500 words
why ! chose the republican party.
| could use 5000 words and then
not give all my reasons, but here
are few:
With a very definite idea in mind
as to what l could and would do
with my vote | struggled years to
help bring about the enfranchised
woman.
This accomplished and the ques-
ton of party arising, | find what?
First, that | had to secure my en-
franchisemcnt not because of, but in
spite of the democratic party.
find that in the matter of child
labor, the handmaiden of illiteracy,
there are 50 times as many young
children employed in industry in
democratic states as are employed
in republican ones.
| find the percentage OF illiteracy
according to the United States CEN
sus of 1910, running from % per
cent in democratic Louisiana tol.7
per cent in republican Iowa, with
statistics denying the statement that
the high per cent of illiteracy in the
south is brought about by the ig-
norant colored vote.
/ find that seven only of the DEM
ocratic states have a compulsory
education law, and that in some of
these the "entire session" is so short
and the exemptions so absurd as to
make the law a mere pretense.
| find that while a majority of the
states have mothers pensions and
while millions of dollars pass each
year into the hands of deserving
mothers for the care of their chill
dren in their own homes. just six
democratic states have this law.
| find that only three democfattcc
states in the nation grant to moth
ers equal guardianship with fathers
over the children of them both, and
that in two democratic states a
father can still will away his unborn
child.
I join the republican party and
lend what little strength l have to
help it push still further forward the
legislation in which l am interested
and which feel is of vital import
ance to the welfare of the.nation." 4"

Cutting by Thread.

In some materials. chiffon, linen
and so on, it is easy to pull thread
when hounces or bandings are to be
cut, but some materials are very
trying things to handle in this man
ner; the threads break most exas-
peratingly and your patience is ex-
hausted long before the many strips
for rufiles and pleatings have been
cut off. Try lashing strong read
ing glass to the arm OF chair. and
holding your fabric under the glass.
You will find it is the easiest thing
in the world to follow the thread
and it will not be necessary to pull
out thread as a guide. Lay the
reading glass at right angles to the
chair arm, the glass projecting in
ward, over your lap; and then lash
the handle of the glass firmly with
ribbon or tape wound round and
round and tied securely.

How to Conserve.

To conserve meat: Take eight
pounds OF shank for a soup. Now
cut off the thickest meat, put
through the meat chopper; makes
nice tender steak. Then remove the
marrow from the bones and remove
all the outside skin. The meat with
the fbres in it place on the stove
and boil very slowly until we'll cook
ed. The bones and small pieces put
over and boil. When partly cook
ed add one-quarter pound of but
ter. Then put in two onions, two
potatoes. one turnip. little cab
hage, celery and parsley. Put
through a strainer. This makes
delicious soup. If you have more
than you like can it. The fibre meat
makes a meat pie. Add little rice
and put crust over the top.
You can make soup out Of water
that your corned beef is boiled in
and it is delicious.
