upon her. On several occasions when
he had dropped in in the evening,
hoping for an old-time chat with his
ward. he had found young Rankin
comfortably ensconced in the library
conversing with the young hostess.
The older man hesitated to make
an unwelcome third and remained
only long enough for a formal call.
Winifred was always gentle and po-
lote with him-but the candor that
he had been accustomed to expect
from her was conspicuous by its alb
sence.
He sought cause for this change
thinking back to find 1t. Perhaps
she had never been quite the same
with him since that afternoon when
he had seen her and Richard at the
tea house up the river. The follow
ing Sunday he had tried to make all
plain between them, and had flat
tered himself that he had succeeded
only to have his hopes dashed at
his next meeting with the girl.

when she took her hand away, the

The Cotton Situation

Cotton and cotton worms is the sub
ject engaging the minds of everybody
in this section of Arkansas at this time
We have never seen so much interest
manifested by all citizens as there is
In this one topic. And ii is well that
all are awake for the situation is re.
ally serious, Judging from reports com
ing In from all sections of the county,
however conditions are much worse in
some parts than in others, and too,
the same trouble does not exist in all
localities. In some sections the army
or leaf worm is doing the damage and
in others IL is said there are lots OF
boil weevil. Latest reports are that
the former is pretty well under con-
troll, but as to the latter time alone
can tell what the result will be.
A farmer from down on the Law
renee county line reports that there is
much weevil' damage Ahere. From the
Skaggs settlement comes a report that
the pink boil worm is infesting the
fields there. From Dalton and sec
tions In the western part of the coun-
ty comes the report that the plant is
throwing everything of. One farmer
stated that he would not make more
than perhaps 100 pounds per acre. A
farmer of the Holmes settlement,
states that the present outlook is not
good and that the crop WIN fall 200 or
300 pounds per acre short of last year.
Some farmers from Biggers and Reyno
report that the crop is damaged fully
one-half. while others from that part
Of the county are optimistic and say
there is plenty of time yet for good
crop. There is not so much wOrm
damage reported from there as from
other points in the county. In the
Maynard. Warm Springs and central
sections farmers report some damage
from worms. but say the greatest
trouble is that while the cotton
plant looks well, there Is no fruit on
1t. And 80 1t is impossible to state at
this time just what the final result
Will be. Let's keep on fighting the
worms and hope for the best.

Smoot declared he expected Presi-

enacted by Congress, but warned that
the measure would become a law If
necessary, over presidential veto.
Smoot previously held a long confer
ence with the president, at which nu-
merous government financial matters
were discussed.
While personally advocating a bill
providing sales tax for raising the
bonus revenue, Smoot declared Con
gress probably would pass the same
kind of measure enacted at the last
session, but vetoed by the late Presi-
dent Harding. The old bill was spon-
sored by the American Legion.
There is no longer any doubt that
the bonus will become law" said
