Recently young man of prominent family was among those arrested in a raid upon dope joint" He had a quantity of heroin upon hip ard pro, tested that he obtained if from his physician. This was found to be the truth. and he was turned over to his family doctor
 But our object is not to ge: the drug victims We want 10 break up the smuggling ring that is mulctjng these poor unfortunates for all they will pay. The Federal authorities are working with us. and our agents are in Europe watching activities of drug sellers there. We have a complete record of every drug user arrested here with Bertllon photographs and a criminal record. Similar records for over 300 cities throughout the, country are in our possession. and we receive the same data regularly from police of Canada and France"
 The ingenuity Of smugglers and drug sellers is illustrated by exhibits in the Deputy Commissioners office A book with the title The Annual Report of the Board of Health" had large hole in the center, two inches square. and in this hole were a dozen decks of heroin. Other books were similarly cut. An embossed Christmas card, beautifully garnished with flow CTS and q woman's slipper, proved to be pure camouflage, as quantity of heroin was found inside the miniature slipper A pair of shoes, also on exhi- bition. were used by a workhouse in mate who sold drugs to other inmates from the shoe Innings.

CROPS BROUGHT MUCH CASH

CROPS BROUGHT MUCH CASH
 With the prospect of low prices for cotton the crop was put in at a very low cost in the spring Acreage was held To a minimum, both voluntarily and involuntarily. and careful atten- tion was given it throughout the grow ing season. After a bad start, due 10 rains. and serious damage by the boil weevil. ideal conditions existed, so that what cotton was matured turned out to be excellent. and il was picked be- fore damaged. The better prices now being obtained resulted in much more cash being received in this section than was expected.
 At the same time the prospects of a lean year caused farmers and planters to produce as much food and feed stuffs as they could handle. The re- suit is that the greatest corn. potato and hay crops ever known to this part of the country are now in hand. The old practice of using cotton money to buy such necessities will not be forced upon the agricultural section this win ter Livestock promises to be in bet ter condition in the spring and for practically no cash outlay than in years
 With these conditions now existing bankers say that cotton will be put in the ground at a lower cost next year than for many years. Anything like reasonable prices will mean good money. In addition. the experience of the past year in producing necessities at home rather than buying them in the open market. linked with the eX- pcricncc of practicing economy and sane methods will pave the way for 1 a prosperous farm season next year, with the prediction of return of nor |malcy and surplus of money.
