THE SAVER.

In the 18th Century chickens
had advanced 40 81 cents each,
butter to IL cents a pound, cheese
to 5 cents pound, milk to /
cent pint and meat to cents a
pound A Cambridge student re-
cords that IN 1926 he paid $l.9l
for two pairs OF shoes and repairs.
Charlotte Bronto, the writer, in
1849 wrote to "a friend: Il en-
close five pound note ($25) and
will thank you to buy a patent
shower bath and such boa and
cuffs as you can get for the mon
fey." She received the articles
and wrote thanking the friend as
follows: 81 have received the
furs safely and like the sABLEs
very much.' and asks the friend
to buy herself present with the
change. =
In spite of the prices however,
it was just as hard tp get the
wherewithal to buy the articles
as at present, for the incomes
we're equally small. From 1900
to 1900 A. d., the average wage
for unskilled labor was s cents a
day. In fact lny.1347 wages had
dropped to 2 cents day for a
long days work, but after the
great plague of the Black Death
they advanced to15 cents day,
continuing TO advance until they
reached so cents .aday 1irt2las8.
The one thing which. has re-
NAMED constant has been the ad-
vantages of Thrift and Saving.
The unskilled laborer at Scents
a day was ahead of she game If
he saved but a half cent a week
Just as the unskilled. .laborer who
received $5 day now is behind
the game if he spends more than
he earns. Advance in prices OF
meat from one talf cent a pound
to one cent were just as hard, to
meet then as similar advance In
price now. 1t was met best then
by thrift and, saving and. no I'M
provement of that method has
been conceived in the last 1000
years.
In fact the saver then was at a
disadvantage for he had small
opportunity 10 nake.shis sayings

exponent of thrift however, has
opportunity to secure interest on
his money and atthe same time

BABY AND HOT WEATHER

Infant mortality is at it's height
during the summer months. Du"-
ing the next two months hun
dreds of babies will pay the death
penalty for their mothers neg
lect or lack of Wedge. DO
not let it be yours.
Severe diarrhea, often referred
to as dysentary, second summer
complaint or cholera infantum
brings"death to many baby.
Improper feeding and thought
less neglect on the part Of loved
ones, in the majority OF cases, are
responsible for these diseases.
Ifyour baby's bowels are troub-
led send for your physician The
life of your child may depend up
Oh prompt treatment of the trou-
BILE. Be careful not TO give it any
food, except a little pure water,
preferably boiled water. A tea
spoon Of castor oil may be given.
Keep the baby free from the tiles.
Frequently wipe its lips with q
clean cloth. After "a hours, with
utmost care, a little barley water
or a few teaspoons Of weak broth
may be given Be sure to with
hold milk until the bowels are
again in order. Do not be afraid
of fresh air; it is essential.
Summer complaint, which III
cludes all ailments of the stomach
and the intestinal tract, is form
of poison. It1enters the baby's
system as germs or bacteria which
are really minute plants that in-
crease in unbelievable numbers
All bacteria of dangerous ma
lure spring from filth.
4 The frststep ins protecting your
baby from4 summer complaint is
to supply sanitary environment
and clean food.

MISSISSIPPI CROP
LOWEST in YEARS
FIELD AGENT ISSUES ESTIMATE sHOWING.LOW-
EST PROSPECT IN 25 YEARS FOR STATE

I WAYNEsBORO. Miss, June 3
Especial. 1.-The cotton crop OF
| Mississippi showed the lowest
on May, 25 Of any crop
for many years according to the
k!irst report of this seasons crop
ssued by j. A. Raney, field
.gent of the bureau of crop esti-
mates, United States department.
Rbf agriculture.
The report shows the condition
|Iof the crop on May 25 was Is per
lcent of normal, compared with a
kEondition of 70 per cent on the
Same date in 1919, SO per cent in
Ih9l8, 66 per cent in 1917 and So
Iper cent in Dl6, and the 10 years
l,average OF so per cent.
b Commenting on conditions re-
sponsible for the low figure, Mr..
| Raney says adverse weather has
been the controlling influence,
the continuous rains delaying
blowing aud preventing proper
. preparation Of the seed beds
The cold, wet soils and seeds of
low vitality resulted in generally
poor stands il practically all coun-
ties. The crops averages 20 days
late, and planting was still pro
ce-diug on some farms ou May
%. Much land planted to or in
tended for cotton in the delta
counties was under water. Some
cotttn has l.een plowed up and
planted'to corn. Chopplng delay
ed by rains and labor shortage
on most farms, and fields are be-
comlug grassy. Eoll weevits are
more numerous over the southern
portion than ever known at the
present stage of plant grow tn.
The best conditions are repor
ted from the relatively low pro-
ducing counties of the central
southern and southwestern sec
tions where the conditions ran
ges by counties from IS to IS per
cent of normal. Elsewhere the
condition ranges from as low as
80 in Clay county to 70 in Ooaho-
ma and Noxubee Ali OF the del
to counties run above so except
Suufower, with so per cent of
normal.
Based on the estimates of a
large number of local reporters,
the sales OF fertilizer tags by the
state commissioner of agriculture
and other sources of information,
it would appear that about % per
cent of fertilizer per acre will
be applied to cotton than last
year at an Increased cost of
about 10 per cent,
The condition of the cotton crop
for the entire United States on
May 25 was 62.4 per cent of nor
NAL, compared with 1876 per
ceut in.1919, 1928 per cent in 1918
69r5 in 1917 and the ten years
average of 1873.
