Mr.. G. w. Price,
Oxford, Miss.
Dear Sir and Editor
Will write you line. How is
everybody back in Ole Miss. Hope
all is well. 1t is very busy time
out here now. The farmers are gath
ering corn and picking cotton. There
is lots of cotton to be gathered, al
though the crop is cut off from 20 to
40 per cent. The recent rains have
caused the boil weevils and worms to
injure the crop a great deal. Cot
ton picking is very paying job at
present, the price ranging from $500
to $3.50, according to how bad they
want their cotton picked. Most every
one is about through gathering corn.
There is lots of corn being made. And
it is selling as low as Csc per busheL
Oats sell for 60c per bushel. There
fore feed is good deal cheaper here
tran back in Mississippi. There is
cry little hay raised here. The
farmers raise cane, (sorghum) maize,
fedareta,3 and kaffir corn for their
stock. l.et
This is very pretty frnling conn
try. It is very level, with the excep-
ton Of low ranges of mountain dot
ted about over the country. There is
very little timber here, only small
scrubby bushes, except on the creeks
and rivers, the timber is much larger.

it shows decided preference for the tea, but drinks less of it than the mother country, making up the differ ence with coffee. The Germans and the Austro-Hungarians use only a negligible quantity of tea
 The coffee plant is a shrub which, under cultivation, grows from four to six feet high. In it's wild state 1t grows three or four times as high as in it's cultivated state. The dwarf ing of the plant increases the crop and facilitates picking. The leaves are of fresh green color; the flowers are white and have an odor strongly re. sembling jasmine.
 The green coffee berry of com merce is nothing more nor less than the seed of the coffee cherry" These cherries" turn crimson on ripening, They are then picked, the pulp is taken off by machinery, and the two husks which lie between the pulp and the seeds themselves are removed.

America Is a Nation of Coffee-DrinEers

rTS IE people of the world annually \ consumed more than two and one half billion pounds of coffee in pre- war days-enough to load a train of cars reaching from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, says a communication to the National Geographic society, is- sued as the third of a series of bull letins on Where Our Imports Come From"
 This consumption now perhaps is nearer 3,O0O,000,0O0 pounds, and, in the United States alone 42 per cent more coffee was drunk during the ifs cal year 1919-1920 than in the preced- ing 12 months
 Three-fourths of the worlds coffee is grown in Brazil, a country that has become rich from it's coffee industry alone. Europe and North America bear approximately the same relation to the consumption of coffee that Bra gil does to it's production, these two continents using nearly four-fifths of all the coffee the world produces.
 Holland is the greatest coffee drink ing nation on the globe It uses 151s pounds per capita annually, while we use 1S pounds, Germany 5h pounds, Austria-Hungary two and two-ffths pounds, and the United Kingdom two thirds of pound. On the other hand, we use less than one pound of tea per capita, while the United Kingdom uses nearly seven pounds.

 The night which had our
 phenomenon as a development I starr ed through the house at midnight. had gone from MT. Sidney's room to my own, had put on a smoking jacket and slippers, put my revolver in my pocket and had laid my watch on the dresser
 I went downstairs and examined the bolt, lock. and chains on the doors at the main entrance. In the halls lead- ing from these doors there were elec- tric buttons, and the house being pre- sumably closed for the night and dark ened, I went from hall to hall, from door to door, lighting my way by push ing the buttons and turning off the lights when I had satisfied myself. In two wings, one to the north and one to the south. there was no electric wiring. Tn the halls of these wings l went along easily enough with an oc- casional flash of the little light I car ried.
 Jed's room was in the south wing on the second floor. The windows of the hall toward the east showed the waning moon just rising above grove of oak mixed with larch, and l stopped at one of the windows to ad- mire the quiet scene. I was attracted not startled but turned-by a noise at the farther end of the hall. At that end of the hall were the stairs to the second floor, where Jed had his room There were no windows at that end and 1t was in complete darkness, al- though three faint rays of moonlight faversed the hall from the windows nearer me.
 I listened, and it seemed that the sound I heard was the creaking of old stairs under a light and stealthy step That interested me, and I went as quietly as I could toward the sound. I must have made some noise. The creaking stopped. I stood still-in one of the shafts of moonlight. There was an instant of silence. I took another ! step toward the stair and hit my foot against chair, almost losing my bal ance.
 There was a scurry of feet and a rustfing of skirts from the bottom of the stairs across the dark hall. I flashed my electric light, and within its rays saw glint of white which in- stantly disappeared down side cor ridor which led to small door used by servants. I started in pursuit, but a blow on the head, sharp but not pow erful, coming from behind, knocked me down.
 It dazed me bit and felled me, but was not enough to make me uncon- scious. Nevertheless, I got to my feet unsteadily and made my way slowly down the corridor into which the flash of white had turned. I came to the l door with my electric light illuminat- ing the hall. and thus I knew no one was in it-it had no recesses or furni- ture to offer concealment-and found the door locked from the outside.
