Mr*. 43inks must have had a disappointing afternoon at the hurguin counters, for she returned to her CapHot Hill home with the quick, decisive trend that indicated a highly irrltulde neental condition to those who knew fecr well. This condition, Glenn Furley writes In the Seattle Post-lntelllgencer, was not huproved hy the discovery that her ten-year-old son Willie was entertaining practically ull of the aolgfeborhood' children in the house, and that one of the most effervescent of tlie guests was a large, wooly, strange dog, whose booming bark naaolled ber from the depths of the din- , mg room on ner arrival. 1 ^ ^illlo and hlb guests and the dog unl out of the frout door llfee an .? from a burufng theater, short- \ ly aiTA mother arrived, and It became ! apparent that she was In the back- 1 pround. with a large, able-bodied t broom. i BiiikH arrived home and sat down 1 to dinner In great exaltation.

Ttie boy evaded a swipe that would bave put him out of business, but he got out of the danger zone and Unlabel the sentence. The dog belongs to Bennle Gunn and lie Is a St. Bernanl and a prize winner," he said. "He's worth more than a thousand dollars. Bennle has him chained up now." Blnks wns about to smile discreetly, when his wife said : "George, If you're through your dinner yon may be excused." Her husband looked around doubtfully : "TW question Is," said he, "have I had any dinner?" Joke Way Prove Serious.

Use of Milk Doubled since 1890. Average now is 44 gallons. Forty four gallons of milk are used by each person in the United States annually, according to estimates made by the dairy division of the United States Department of Agriculture. This estimate refers to whole milk, and does not include that which is consumed in the form of ice Team, cheese and butter. The amount is about twice as much as that used n 1890 when the per capita consumption was approximately 22 gallons. The dairy specialists point out that % \ !

DfLJLOM, SOCDH CAROLCfi the increase in the use of milk in the last 30 years Is as great as that in the preceeding 280 years. The present day consumption of milk in the United States, they say, is equal to about one pint per day. That is not a great amount when it is known that it includes not only the milk that is used for drinking, but also that used in cooking. This is a small amount compared to the per capita consumption in some European counties. IS Sweden and Switzerland, for example, nearly 70 gallons are used by each person annually. In relating the growth of the dairy industry in this country the department specialists say that in pioneer days each family kept its own cow. The denser the population became the more important it was to have a well regulated and ample supply of milk. Gradually the number of cows increased, and in time a dairy business grew up in various sections. The development of modern methods in the distribution of milk, with economic and sanitary handling, has been closely accompanied by the larger use of this food, they say. Much of the milk now used In cities comes many miles, and recently improved methods have made it possible to ship it for long distances in refrigerator cars. At the National Dairy Show in Chicago in 1919, milk shipped from the Pacific Coast took first prize in the market?milk competition with the highest score ever given in recent years to milk. _ Cities have always used a smaller amount of milk in proportion to thej number of people than general farm-] ing communities.

The people in such places hare to depend on canned milk of various kinds and this the dairymen say, is an exceedingly valuable means of supplying a need, which 20 or 30 years ago could not have been supplied at all. o "The Locusts of Egypt." "No, I do not share the view of seme of our farmers that we are in fci two or more years of trouble under boll weevil conditions," remarked Mr. R. S. Moore of Fork. "On the other hand I believe"*we are entering upon the greatest era of prosperity the south has ever known. For the past fifty years we have been working our children and raising more cotton than the world could consume. We made more cotton than we could gather and lots of it was unspinable and helped to drive the price down. We held cotton meetings and it was pointed out and proven to u8 that we were planting more cotton than the world needed but the advice we got was like pouring water on a duck's back. Now providence has intervened and shown us the error of our ways. Heavy rains, excessive temperatures and the boll weevil have forced us to do something we should have done long ago and now the certainty of a short crop has run the price of cotton up to a living price. The whole sit u<t 11iJii wu? oil in intn up uy a r>apu?i preacher who was at my home a few days ago. 'Well/ enquired the preacher, 'have you got many boll weevils?" I told him I had my share.

I was impressed by what the preacher said, and I verily believe that the coming of the boll weevil is going to prove to be one of the greatest blessings we have ever had. We can plant four or five acres of cotton to the plow and make a good crop by keeping the weevils off the cotton and put the balance of our lands in foodstuffs we have been buying in the west. The saving in fertilizers alone will amount to a big sum and what cotton we make will be of a good grade. No, I am not losing any sleep over the coming of the boll weevil. It will yet make the south one of the greatest countries on the face of the earth." o Humeri Down Boll Weevils. In reply to the enquiry, "Are the boll weevils doing you much harm?" Mr. R. McDaniel of the Hamer section answered in his characteristic [ manner: "Doing me any harm, did you aBk? They have cleaned up my top crop and there is no telling how much further they will go. They are the greediest things I ever saw. It takes them no time to eat all the blossoms on a stalk. The weevils didn't raise in my section. They came from somewhere else. Two weeks ago you could not have found a weevil anywhere in my community, but along about 2 o'clock one evening .a big thunder cloud came up from toward Latta and it* rained down boll weevils.
