Statue What coul* delight the heart, as to voatheA iteort than the mild, clear wcattthrMhat we are having at the present time? We hare been having ^ PF?tty weather all of the fall, ale|p ;ffioughwe had one wet "spell" In UcVjeber. $ But the Vain was needed. There have been but traces'of frost this fall until last week, when on two days there was frost enough to kill Vuhuhar vegetation all along the water Courses. I find by the weather records here that a few years' back that oc the last day of November, cottom was. blooming, and on the first ody of December it was cloudy and turning colder, and the second day i it was snowing, and by that night there was 15 inches of snow on the ' ground. - And, at the end of this fine weather, winter may set in, hard and sure. We can't tell. I was at the Gipsy Smith meeting one time last week and was well pleas ' ed. 1 want to go more, but just at mis time i am "scuffling" trying to get sweet potatoes dug and many know what a task is generally on at "tater" digging time. I enjoy all tood preaching (and speaking) it dotsnt :matter whom it is done by. And everyone who attends the meeting speak in such praise of it that I feel that t will lose much if I do not go more. When I went was on Wednesday night of last week (8th inst.) >nd I * lingered after the sermon and listened to the singing, and 1 also had At.Very pleasant time talking with many friends. I went early and got <A-good>aeat. The farmers in these parts have been too hard pressed finished up va rious crops and sowing small grain to try much at destroying cotton ' . plants before they were killed by frost A - us per advice. I tried more last week ^ to see if I could. A d'sc harrow would Jo. A big middle bursted wouldn't do it?1 could plow them up, but few could I cover up. I cut some off, then ran the plow and could not cover (hem, and I do not want to cut, haul off and burn them. In my last article I said no good farmer would want to break his land flush, etc., and a friend liked what I mean by it. It may do * to break the very cloddiest land, or to tuni ?under a heavy vegetable v growth, ^but even in a sandy shil it will "puddle" and wash, and be the harder to prepare next spring if a cover crop is not put on it. I like ridging it, but not flat breaking for <- to Cover heavy vegetation. 1 have been "in a'hole" on that. The cotton crop is gathered and proves very short, and nothing out a "stiff" price for it will help the fsrm' or to get out. It must be remembered ' that it coat the farmer extra to make it,.on account ?.f the boll weevil. With high prices for cotton, those who are making big crops of cotton will get rich <m the majority's shortage, and I gruels they will say that the other fe!? < > low* <Hd not know how to maako cotJ?' > ton. Of course we have suffered , from much wet weather, which aided the weevils and hurt the cotton divcctly^f iFor the months of May, June, July ahd August, we had 24 incho of ? rain, and 46 rainy days, to say nothing of the cloudy days, and how many ,'i days these 46 rainy ones would keep iLe land too wet to work. April also being much wet made planting late. I view it that wetness caused much 4' toss to' the cotton crop, both directly and indirectly, though there are some who do not agree with me. My crop waited often for work when I would liked ta-have been plowing under emlirvo boll weevils. I have seen bad failures, an<J the worst failure I ever made with cotton was in a wet year, with a sorry negro, and I don't suppose a boll weevil was nearer than the western border of Alabama. And now with the weevil here, if we have wet. weather, and poor help, yo:i can readily see that the "jig is up." We have big cotton plants here with a lot of bolls with only from one to two locks of cotton in them, but I do not want to say, every time cotton is mentioned, "Jake grinned at me." Many things are thought of now as to how to make ' money. Many are astride of the fence, and crossing over to the side of dairying, thinking of tobacco, maybe trucking, etc., and >ome trying to straddle 11, and others with legs so close that neither fence, cotton, tobacco, dairy ing nor canning can't squeeze between .,v them.

The American Red Cross as an evangelist of better health haa looked Its problem square In the fact. How It accepted the task revealed to It In tlie nation's physical condition an brought out during the World War, and conscientiously applied Its activities to correction forms a vivid chapter In the forthcoming annual report. Historically and practically, nursing la a basic work for the Red Cross. In lta public health nursing service. In Instruction In home hygiene and care of the alck, nutrition classes, drat aid and life saving courses and health centers, the American Red Cross Is applying effectually the lessons learned ; during the war and making for a healthier, stronger and better nour- ! ished eUlaenry. The task of the Red Cross Public ; Health nurse In the 1,240 nursing servlets now operating throughout the country Instructing thsir communities In health essentials and disease prevention Is demonstrating the possibilities of human betterment and the great -A*- u' u * * icuvuiii wi euugiii enmenc. During the lust year 313 new public j health nursing services were established by Red Cross Chapters, and several j hundred services so convincingly prov-1 ed tlielr effectiveness that they were j I taken over by public authorities. In, >rder to promote this work $30,000 was allotted to provide women to prepare themselves for public nursing. The home visits made by the 1.240 nurses , .aggregated nearly 1,300,000, visits to schools numbered 140.000, and in six months 1,230,000 school children were . inspected by these nurses and where defects were found advised examination by physicians. In rural com in u nltles this service has made S very marked advance and has won thousands of converts to approved methods nt disease prevention. In home hygiene and care of the sick instruction, which fits the student in methods of proper care where Illness Is not so serious as to require professional service, the Red Cross conducted 3,884 classes during the last year, j enrolled 2,336 instructors, 93,448 stu| dents and Issued 42,630 certificates. i On June '0, 1922, nutrition service embraced l,i09 classes, with a total of 27,528 children and 2,389 enrolled dietitians. Seventy-eight food selection classes graduated 733 who received Red Cross certificates. In general health activities Red Cross Chapters maintained 377 health centers, serving as many communities, provided 38.751 health lectures for large audiences everywhere, while clinics numbered over 10,000. Red Cross Gains" - 1 Strength in All Foreign Fields | la Insular possessions of tbs United States and in foreign lands the American Red Cross scored heavy gains during the last year, passing the prevlous membership high mark of 1918 by 4,201 and advancing the figure to 150,-108. The Philippines take the lead, gaining nearly 100 per cent, now having 115,917 members. In Europe the 1921 Roll Call enrolled 11,125, with the Constantinople Chapter reporting 665, a gain of 33 members. China was 1,782 members, a gain of 30Q; the little 'Virgin' Islands have 1,000, while the Dominican Republic with 2,927 advanced from Its previous nigh mark by 1,423 new members. Haiti, organized In 1920, now has' nonrly 1,000 enrolled. Mexico reports 354, a gain of 327 In one year. The American Red Cross has spread Its membership over some 70 foreign lands and Its Junior membership oataide of the United States Is close te. 100,000. Red Cross Water . First Aid Makes.

The Influence of "learn te swim week" in many localities Is reducing the water fatalities through Instruction and the wider dissemination of resuscitation methods demonstrated by the Red Cross representatives. > Excellent work has been done In teaching a large part of the American population liow to take care of l'iself In the water. Growing appreciation for this Red Cross Life-Saving Service la shown, by the compulsory instruction adopted in many cities for members of the police and fire departments in- the nrone pressure method of resuscitation.

Nigmann, in his memoirs of the days' when he was in charge of colonial administration in that part of the world One of his most reliable aides, he says, was a native lieutenant-colonel who had lost an eye during one rf the local expeditions, and wore a gia:>s one in its place. This officer was assigned to superintend the erection of a poet-office in a rural district. The inhabitants had long been delinquent in tax payments, and consequently each male adult was required to meet his civic obligations by putting in a week's labor on the new government building. One day while the native laborers were industriously at work under his 1 vigilant watch, the lieutenant-colonel was temporarily called away. On leaving the building, he took out th* glass eye, placed it on one of the walls, and announced to the workers: "Look here, ray men. I must go now, but I am leaving my eye to keep tab on you and to see that you keep working while I am away." It was with considerable self-satisfac tion that he returned to find his (rang hard at work. The next day the lieutenant-colonel had another summons to leave his post. Again he placed the glass eye in charge and left. Returning, he noticed from afar that building operations were at a standstill and all -?f his chisky help snoring peacefully. Upon looking for his "foreman" eye, he found it carefully covered with an old hat.
