CROP CONDITIONS

The first cotton blooms of the sea-
son have been coming to the Leader
office this week. The crop has been
thought to be a little late this year,
but these blooms would indicate that
It is advanced about as it is in aver
age years. The plant was small
until three weeks ago, but the rains
and good cultivation since that time
have produced rapid growth and the
crop Is now very promising. Good
sands prevail over the entire county
and weeds and grass have been kept
under control.
Corn is also fine and it seems that
we have a very largely increased
acreage. From all parts Of the
county we have good reports on the
corn crop.
The effect Of lespedeza and other
clover crops on the soil is showing to
big advantage in both the cotton and
corn crops this year. AS one travels
over the county he will be impressed
with the fine crops now growing on
old red hills. The explanation in
most cases is lespedeza.
Hay prospects are good and the
acreage in sorghum is reported to
be greater than last year.
The greatest shortage seems to
be in hogs and poultry. This short
age should be made up as rapidly as
possible.
The prospects for a good price for
cotton this fall have not improved
in recent months, but with an album
dance of food and feed crops we will
be better off this fall than last.
Fall gardens, turnips, potatoes
and winter pastures will be a big
help this winter. Plan yours now.

SAUCE FOR SIMS is SAUCE FOR
HARVEY

Senator Pat Harrison, the dynamic
and eloquent young orator and states
man from Mississippi, sees no justice
in the recall of Admiral Sims for his
alleged SANDER Of a part of the
American people unless Ambassador
Harvey, whom he accuses Of slam
dering all the people as we'll as the
government, is also recalled. He has
introduced resolution requesting
the president to report whether he
Mr. Harding) was consulted or
knew Of the speech before it was
made; whether he or the secretary
Of state have protested or reprimand-
ed Harvey; whether there is as much
reason and justification for the rep
rimand or recall Of the ambassador
as there is for the admiral; whether
the order recalling Admiral Sims
was issued at the direction or with
the approval Of the president, and
why a similar order was not issued
against Ambassador Harvey; whether
the president or Secretary Hughes
has received any communication from
the ambassador in reply to any pro-
test, and, if so, to transmit the same
to the senate. The resolution on OBJ
lection from Senator Curtis Kan
sas), the Republican Whip, went
over under the rules.
Senator Harrison paid tribute to
Gen. Pershing, the men of the Ameri-
can army and navy, naming Sergeant
Alvin York, Col. Whittlesey and
Quinten Roosevelt for their special
acts of heroism, and said:
"This statement of Ambassador
Harvey is an insult to every soldier
and sailor and marine who helped to
win this war. There is not
mothers son of them who was
prompted by the thought that they
we're afraid not to fight when he
went into this war and blazoned in
letters Of gold glory for the Stars
and Stripes. There was not a
mother in this land nor woman who
went across or stayed here and con-
tributed her mite to win it and sus-
tain the boys who thought it was
war that was being fought because
I'VE were afraid not to fight There
is not man in this country, care
not how poor and humble he may be,
who bought Liberty bond or did
the minutest thing to win the war,
who believed that we were fighting
simply because we were afraid not
to fight,
Senator Harrison expressed the
opinion that Admiral Sims should be
dismissed.

Uncle Sam's Big Claims Against Germany

GOO; claims of American residents of Germany for property taken from them there amounting to $191, GOO 900 American insurance companies demand about $S5000,000 and the government itself would like $S0,OO0,000. The mis- cellaneous list, first indicated, includes claims for loss of life, personal injury, vessels sunk by submarines, cargoes lost by the same means, insurance paid and premiums on war-risk insur- ance.
 The foregoing statement takes no account of the expense of maintaining the American army in occupied Ger many. American seamen have pre- sented a number of claims for loss of wages between their capture and re- lease by Germany. They do not include indemnity for cruelty or maltreatment, but merely for loss of time. Many American citizens have complained to the Department of State concerning losses suffered as result of the de- preciation of the German mark, and have indicated desire to get indem- nification therefor. Not few had de- posits in German banks, mostly in marks. Debts are owed to many in marks. German securities payable in marks are held by many.

GERMANY is kicking over what it M calls excessive separations demands of the allies. Doubtless it has another kick coming over an additional little bill of 60O,O00,OO0 to $700,000,0O0 which Uncle Sam has to present on the same account. One of President Wilson's last official acts was to send to the senate, in response to resolu- tion of inquiry, statement of claims for reparation against Germany filed with the government AS the United States, temporarily at least, is not acting with the allies, what machinery will be available for the collection of this bill is yet to be determined.
 The bill includes claims filed with the State department for losses of va rous kinds footing up about $221, ,OOO,-

Red Cross Work Among the War Veterans

INCREASING seriousness of the prob \ lem of the care of veterans of the World war, as manifested in but one of it's phases, is shown in statement by the American Red Cross that it's work alone ill this field now involves an annual expenditure of approximate ly $9,600,OO0
 This is not the peak, it is stated, for all information reaching national head quarters indicates that the calls for Red Cross service to veterans are con stantly increasing, and to meet them centralizing of Red Cross work for veterans is being put into effect.
 Of the total annual rate of expendl- ture for this work more than $2,6OO,000 is disbursed from National Red Cross funds. while the remainder is spent by the nationwide chain of chapters, through which to large extent Red Cross service is made available to for mer soldiers. sailors and marines and their families. The bulk of chapter ex- penditures is for home service and financial assistance to veterans.
 AS a result of the readjustment three major Red Cross services for veterans are now grouped under the direction of Arthur Foote. former ma for attached to general staff of the

 Can ye tell me, wumman, what is 1t they call jubilee?
 "'Weel, it's this said the other. When folk has been married twenty five years, that's a silver wuddin' ]; and when they have been married fifty years that's a golden wuddin'. But if the mons dead then it's a jubilee.
