Motor Truck
For Cotton Market

Talullah, La, Oct. 3 (AP) - The
mule and wagon as a means Of trans
porting cotton to the gin seems like
ly to be supplanted by the motor

my sister and walked from town to
the farm In such a rain-a green rain,
warm and fragrant. We took off
our hats and let 1t have its way with
US and our old clothes. When the
road became too muddy we walked
on the sod, and in sweet silence
we listened to the whisper-the love-
making Whispered the rain on the
trees and bushes, and on the humble
grass.
Just as we breasted the hill,beyond
which lay the farm house, the late
sun dropped between the clouds and
earth and flung a glorious light
across the world. A rainbow appear
ed at once, and the rain continued to
fall. 1t was one of those hours that
change the whole character and
never pass away.-Margaret W.

Cuckoo and Its Eggs

Henry s. Davenport of Milton Now
bray. England. tells the following
cuckoo story in the London Times:
"A sister-in-law Of mine at Stamford
was standing by window when a
cuckoo suddenly appeared and Topped
down on the clOsc-cropped lawn no
much more than the length OF sal
mon-rod from her 1t turned slowly
round and round few times. Their
crouched for half minute or so, anc
then moved about yard away, leav-
ing an egg clearly exposed to her view
After few moments more the cuckoo
picked the egg up with it's bill and flew
off with it still showing between the
parted mandibles. I have been in quest
Of unimpeachable evidence on this
point for over half century, but with
a success more or less negligible"

The feelings Of hostess at a dinner
party are much the same as those OF
q theatrical producer on the first night
l-a blend Of hope and despair, of in
Ward excitement and outward calm. In
an inexperienced hostess this state OF
mind may continue throughout the eve

menu, in which each guest will have
a definite place, and will fill 1t to per-

This Is not canniballsm. but common
