 The Monday night meeting will be at the Madison district school house. The organization committee has dis tributed the contracts, and it is ex- pected that the same satisfactory sort of meeting will ensue. The or ganization committee in the Wash ington district will continue its work until all the growers in that section of the valley have had the oppor- tunity of joining the new organiza- tion
 As soon as a minimum number of growers controlling an amount of cotton equal to 50 per cent of that planted under the project have been secured, the organization will be completed, and the task of complet- ing the canvass of the district and of getting the new organization under way will be turned over to the board of directors selected by the growers, and the organization committee, with it's work done, will retire into the historical perspective.
 No open opposition to the new plan of organization has developed, and it is not anticipated by the committee that those interested in seeing the growers stay in their present condi- ton will venture to come out into the open. To do so, in the present state of mind of the growers, would not be lightly forgiven, in the opinion of members of the committee who have carefully canvassed the sentiment of the valley.

 There has been a striking growth throughout the United States of the movement to make provision for feebleminded persons During the last twenty odd years, provision has increased 750 per cent One after another the various states have as stunned their places in the ranks of those that seek to provide for this most helpless and potentially danger ous class. Not a single institution created for this purpose has ever been abandoned; on the contrary and this is most significant-an such institutions have long waiting lists, sometimes running up into the thou sands, of applicants for care and training.

was truly beloved.
During the several successive
terms when Mr.. w. A. Wilkin

the 18th Judicial District, h S
wife always accompanied her hus-
band upon his official visits and
was in residence here taking an
active part in club, civic and So

stincts of a leader who could in,
spire, guide and counsel; a broad
minded charitable woman, unusu-
ally intelligent tactful and of rare
charm. Truly to have known her
was to love and respect her and
her death just in the prime of her
glorious womanhood, is deplora-
BILE and distressing in the extreme.
Shreveport paid her every pub
lie honor possible when her death
was known as she took an active
part IN every civic, club, church
and charitable movement that took
place in that city where personal
ly she was as popular as she was
as a leader IN these affairs and as
at the head of every movement in
the State that was for the good
and uplift of any worthy object.
