These change in color, in few days they drop off and a small bulb called boil appears. In three or four weeks the boil bursts open and the cot ton is ready to be picked. It is picked by hand. During the season men, wo men and children go out with bags over thoir shoulders and pick it. The fields must be picked two and three times season, all the bollS do not open at once.
 When it is picked, it is hauled to the gin, where it is made into bales weigh ing five hundred pounds. It is TOW ready to be sent to the factories, either in southern or eastern United States, or some foreign ports.
 No part of the cotton is wasted. The stalk is used for fodder or fertilizer. The seeds are crushed and made into cottolene or pure cottonseed oil. The pulp is pressed into cakes and fed 70 cattle.

THE SCHOOL HOUSE

As I was walking along one dusty country road which was heavily trav- eled, l came upon lone building that sat about a. quarter of a mile back from the road. As drew near, I saw d great oak growing in front of the building and swing that was tied to one of its branches On the otlfer side of the oak the steps were decayed and the door was about to fall down. Inside everything was dirty and desolate.
 At the back of the building vines were growing up over each other At a little distance was plot of ground that was once garden.
 As 1 looked up I saw q flag which was the stars and stripes gently wayln 3 in the breeze. When I saw it I knew 1t was a lone desolate school house that had once been used but now was the victim of the storms and rain.

 BACK TO YOUTH

 It was about mid summer when d car drove up to the little home, bring ing a white faced, half faintihg Mar garet. She lay for several days, there utterly exhausted, while Aunt Mary anxiously tended her. The doctor pro- nounced her in q state of nervous ex- haustion and recommended perfect quiet.
 N hiie the anxious woman did what she could. Aunt Mary remembered that Sam's letters had not been as fre- quent of late. But she said nothing until she found the girl in tears

 Perhaps he's busy, dear.-don't cry'
 He's been down to the college re- union with Hilda, and she has broken her engagement 10 Harold, Sam's chum." Margaret sobbed miserably.
 The next morning Aunt Mary trf- 11n1nhantlx- rlrOduced q Ieftear and package.

 Aunt Mary's lips shut tightly as she bent over the prostrate girl.
 She was expecting to get the ring any day.-he promised to send it in Augustine cad-to treat her like that,--and she so square and true to him, ,'-her shocked mind was repeat ing again and again. The cold moist are on Margaret's face, her damp. icy hands recalled her, and she hurried away for water and narm milk.
 When the girl had reused somewhat, she said drearily, The package there, it can't be true,--oh, Aunt Mary, it 's-''+ true the package.-

 But Aunt Mary cried with d fierce gesture of contempt. Its that good for nothing. sleepy eyed Hilda that $ done it.

Declamation is not poetry and roll ing periods are often but bad prose l measure poetry by the pressure to the square inch Of it's power to cause emo tion or surprise. I want poets who are themselves moved and surprised by Truth and Beauty, and so moved by the spectacle and contacts of Life, that the birds within them simply must sing.

WHY Ex-SERVICE MEN
 SHOULD NOT DRILL


 SHOULD NOT DRILL In all public schools of today all the boys have to take military drill In the universities and state normals many boys who have had drill in the , army for at least q year come home and take it in school.
 The first reason why they should not take drill is that they know more about 1t than their superior officers. Again they would have to drill with begin ners who have to go slowly, over and over again every little simple move ment to learn to take commands. Another thing, the boys that have gone through the army and have been in the real fighting lines know more about drill than other boys could ever learn in school Drill is no joke in the army. There 1t is all business every day for whole day, while in school it Is business for just forty five minutes day.
 These reasons alone ought to exempt ex-service men from drill.
