 The entire Prescott line played superbly. Sage was the surest gain CT of ground. Graham carried the ball two-thirds of the time for Pres colt and seldom failed to gain. Gee and Peachy made several sensational end runs, and Johnson directed the team in masterly manner. The weakest part of Prescott's play was the forward pass. Coach McGill cer- tainly knows football, shows remark able ability for selecting and placing his talent, and the effectiveness of the work he has already done was shown in the game Friday. It is the pre- dietion of this writer that his team will not be defeated this year.

Going one step farther than the rec tor in Thomas Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree" who supplanted the ancient male orchestra with female organist, the First Methodist Church of Norwalk, Ohio, recently installed monograph as a substitute for the regular choir.
 As the records were put on the ma chine the minister announced the name of the singer. The voice from the instrument filled the church, and much satisfaction was expressed over the experiment.

tember. The end of August found the crop in the worst condition ever recorded, while the end of September. as disclosed in todays report, shows unfayorable weather during the month rendered the condition worse than at the end of August. Record extremes fO heat and dryness have forced unprecedented maturity of the crop and deficiency of fertilizer has shortened the fibre and lessened the yield
 s Today's condition report shows the crop to 122 points below the worst prey ous record Over most of the belt there will be but little middle crop and practically no top crop.
 Weevils Plays Havoc
 The swarming plague of boil weevil has advanced almost to the limit of the belt, being through the lower third of North Carolina into eleven counties of Tennessee and over most of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Prac tically everywhere the weevil is in such numbers and doing such damage as has not been experienced since it's first invasion.
 The army and other worms have been present in damaging numbers in most of the territory from Mississippi westward, stripping the leaves from the plants over large areas.
 Picking Far Advanced
 Comment in general that the crop may be picked out by early Novem- Der in much of the central and east ern territory if hte favorable picking weather continues. The dry and fair September has permitted uninter- rupted picking and with labor plenti- full and relatively cheap, large proportion of the crop probably has been picked than ever before.
 In Texas the floods and weevll have been more or less of an offset to the beneficial rains in the north western part of that state.
