LOWER MISSISSIPPI

MEMPHIS, Tenn, NOV. I'll N.
Sat least one agricultural section of
the United States is ready TO report
that it has enjoyed a vast Improvement

her desire to house stray cats and to
provide them with every comfort.
During her life she and her sisters es-
tablished sanitariums for cats, contrib

stray cats, thought of and lived for
cats.
When She died her viii provided
that all but $500 be given to organiza-

sanitaiiums, homes and societies for
cats. Her two sisters, who figured
later in contests, were cut off-Louise

of the stray cat. She too, was known
by the children OF the neighborhood
in which she lived as one who would
give all of ten cents for each feline
wanderer in the streets-a source of
profitable income
Later Louise died, and she left most
of her money to her sister, Elizabeth,
with a provision for her pets. Both
wills were contested by John Even the
nephew. Lou;se's will was upheld
and the contest over Caroline's was
settled out of court.
Various personalities figured in the
contest over the will of Louse-a
clergyman, who acted as her nurse;
the bogus baron and others who paid
court to her because of her wealth and
; eccentricities.

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 mvoluntarily, and careful atten-
tion was given 1t throughout the grow
ing season. After bad start, due to
rains, ANA serious damage by the boil
Weeyol ideal conditions existed, so that
what cotton was maturod turned out
to be excellent, and it 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 rs they could handle. The re-
suit is that the greatest corn, potato
ana 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 fore
ed upon the agricultural section this
winter, Livestock promises to be In
better 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 price 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 OK
perionce of practicing economy and
sane methods will pave the way for
a prosperous farm season next year,
with the prediction Of return OF nor
malcy ana surplus of money.

WHEAT EXPORTS LARGE

/
More wheat has been exported from
the United States during the past
year than in any year since 1916,
according to the Wall Street journal
Here are its comparative figures for
the II months ending with May:
192O-21..-.-..333333 ,996, 900 bushels
1913, los, 900 bushels
1918-19.--.......264,10 los, 900 bushels
1917-18..........121,2O4,O0 900 bushels
I, The Journal uses these figures to
show that a government finance cor
noration. as outlined in the bill by
Senator Norris of Nebraska, to aid
farmers in the foreign market, is not
needed.
Yet these figures, coupled with the
low prices our farmers have received,
furnish strong argument for move
to protect our farmers from foreign
manipulators. And the Norris plan,
applied with vision for the farmers,
might do this.
ii the face of a demand from
abroad which took all our surplus
wheat and leaves the bins cf the
world clean in the face Of poor
harvest, our wheat market broke bad
|ly and was kept down throughout the
year.
It is an open secret that foreign
government agents here manipulated
the market with the aid Of many
American spectators and our kept
press. They would beat the market
down by false and misleading news
and short selling and then do their
actual buying at the right times.
. It is reported that the English gov
eminent will not be in the grain busi-
ness this year, but this probably
means some favored monopolistic
group will take its place.

Their Meeting Is Broken Up By Near Drowning in CaddO River-Local Youth Principal.

Glenwood, June 1.-The biggest story" of the 1921 convention of the Arkansas Press Associa tidn broke here this afternoon and several editors covering" it played heroic parts. It was a drowning tragedy, in which Louis J. Schaefer, aged 12, son of R. o. Schaefer of Little Rock Neal liar mon, aged 15, son of the publisher of the England Democrat, and J. E. Gold, owner of the Washing Telegraph, were the principals, and it was not ended until the swift running waters of the Caddo river had tried the swimming skill and strength of both newspaper men and townspeople.
 Young Schaefer and Harmon were swimming with several other boys at a point POO yards downstream from where the residents of Glenwood and the editors were celebrating. R. O. schaefer, as song leader, was direct ing America" when yells from the river diverted the attention of the crowd. Schaefer and Harmon had started to swim across and Schaefer, either becoming scared or weak, had seized Harmon. The boys were strug- gling, young Harmon valiantly trying to hold up Schaefer and to save his own life.
 The crowd rushed to the river and starte da rescue Mir Gold was the first in after kicking off his shoes. He swan to the boys and loosed Schafer's hol don Harmon, and in desperate struggle held the boy until other swim mers arrived Among those who aided in the rescue were Otis Gileylen, pros ecuting attorney of Pike county, and Messrs Mallintrost and Davis of Glen wood, Arthur Wilson of Battle Creek, Mich. and Mir.
