 All Crops Doing WeII-The farm. CTS here are rejoicing over the hot weather and sunshine which has con. tinued in this immediate vicinity for the past ten days. The progress of the boil weevil has been checked to a marked degree, and if favorable weather con. tinues another ten days, a fair crop of cotton will be harvested within the next ninety days. Although the acreage of corn was curtailed this year, q splen. did yield can safely be relied upon in view of the fact that the land was well prepared, fertilized and properly culti- vated, with just enough rainfall at the proper time to insure a splendid crop. Sugarcane, peas, potatoes, sorghum and other minor crops are growing nicely, and with favorable weather promises a fair harvest. Truck growers and gar deners are giving their attention to the preparation of their lands for early fall vegetables.

U Dy IuS HtcAlo O1 a T1VAl gang OaIl ,n the old Globe, was assigned to e his story in advance and, sticking is sentence:
 T don't care how hard work now" he said. "I have regained in- terest in my job"
 When on his vacation he gets his fun by sending prescriptions to drug stores and then analysing them.
 "One of these days" he says, "I propose to launch crusade against the druggists of today. Not all of them, of course-"
 His theory is that man who sells what-nots between times loses his abil. ity to make up prescriptions properly, and fails to interest himself in securing the purest drugs. Whether he is right or wrong in his generalization, he has prepared serious indictment against the hapchance druggists who make up his prescriptions. He has a case filled with the prescriptions-and the weird results.
 And, speaking of one man businesses, John R. Keim has the most thoroughly one I've yet heard of. He is a pearl expert. Nothing but pearls. He recognizes the existence of other gems, of course, but pearls are his spe- cialty. He is on yearly retainer to sev- eral of the great gem houses of the city, who employ him not only to ap- praise the pearls they buy, but the pearls owned by estates that are oc- casionally broken up. And tEe only equipment he needs is a square of black velvet and a microscope.
 He should have multitude of good stories," suggested.
 No doubt he should have. But one reason why he is trusted is that he doesn't tell. It isn't every day that il is discovered that a society leaders pearls are fishskin, although that did happen when the dominent lady New York knew as Old Mrs. Astor died.
