~ Cotton is the “king of crops” lni
the south. In the spring when the
‘farmer thinks there will be no more
hard freezes, he plants the seed.
They have been saved from his last
year's crop. When the plants are
about four inches high they are
thinned out. This is called chop-;
ping cotton. Then the farmer
works hard to keep out the weeds.
First, the blossoms appear then the
bolls, During the hot summer daysl
and nights the bolls burst open.’
Then the picking begins. The\
pickerg have to go over the fields
several times because the bolls do
not open at the same time. After
the cotton is picked it is loaded In
wagons and ‘ecarried to the gin,
Here the seeds are separated from
the lint. The lint ig packed into
bales. Then the bales are weigh
ed. A standard bale of cotton{
weighs five hundred pounds. Some
farmers have to sell their cotton
to pay expenses. Others save
their's until the price goes up. The
price of cotton today is twelve and
a half cents a pound.

Daniel Boone was a brave pioneer
who led in the settlemgnt of
Kentucky. It was interesting to
compare their customs with those
of the colonists. We took an im-i
aginary trip to Calitornia, during
teh Gold Rush of 1849, by means
of a floor map. First we had to
pack the tHings we were going to
carry with us. The Allegheny
mountains had to be crossed as
we were going from North Caro
lina. The mountains were crossed
at the Cumberland Gap. We
crossed the Missigsippi river, and
then went across the prairie to
California and Oregon Trail and
part of the Santa Fe Trail. It
took many days to get to Califor

The Girl Scouts
The “Girl Scouts” is a fine or
ganization for girls. I am glad
that it was organized in Athens.‘
Ever since I have joined, which
was in December, I have learned{
many things of interest. @ince
our slogan is “Do a good turn
daily,” I have learned to do more‘
things to help others. |
Our troop meeting is held every
Saturday afternoon at 3:30. We
first have opening exercises. We!
say the promise, the Girl Scout}
laws, the motto and the salute to
the. flag. Then Mrs. Kincade, the)
captain, or Miss Wilson, the as
sistant captain, wusually teaches
us some part of the second class
test, as nearly all of wus have
passed the tenderfoot test. We.
have learned the points of health,
first aid, bandaging, nature, etc.i‘
After our Scout lesson we sing
and play games till 5:30. As often
as the weather permits we go on
hikes.
For the second class test wvou
have to know four birds and tell%

forest which the children played in.
One day France was fighting the
English soldiers. It was a bad
time, for the English soldiers. It
was a bad time, for the English
soldiers had beaten the French
many times. One day. Joan heard
a voice which told her to go and
help her country. Joan thought it
was an angel’'s voice. At first Joan
did not obey. 'Then the voice spoke
again. This time Joan obeyed. She
led the French soldiers to battle
any they won. She was later cap

I"[‘here seems little question but
Ithat nature, when she gets arounda
| to it, will change the entire com
i plexion of Italy’s drive into Ethio
!pia, one of the most ambitious
colonial campaigns any nation ever
attempted.
Except for patrol fighting—col
| umns moving out from heavily en
ltrenched and fortified lines in quick
Jjabs against known enemy con
centrations —the advance of the
Italians along Dpoth the northern
’and southern fronts must be cur
tailed during the approaching rains
starting in March and prevailing
through most of September.
It seems equally certain, too, that
when Italy can resume the push
into Ethiopia, the main theater ot
war will shift from the northern
front here to the south, where Gen
eral Graziani, except for quick
thrusts such as the highly success
ful recent battle at the Ganale
Dorya, has drawn up a strictly de
fensive front for the last twe
months.
The reason for that is obvious—
the difference between the rainy
seasonsg of the northern and south
ern sections of Ethiopia,
Where the raing start slowly
’here, sometimes near the start of
March, and really do not start fall
ing heavily until June, the season
wiil be under way shortly on the
Somaliland front.
Conversely, the rainy season
ends in midsummer in the Ogaden,
rcleariug the way for action there,
just when the moisture is getting
lthickest here.
| It takes tremendous efforts in
'building roads and moving sup
plies, enormoug numbers of men to
advance through the terrifically
‘rough terrain of the northern front
‘a jumble of mountains that resem
ble on the horizon the fangs of a
yawning wolf,
Rain will make many of the
northern roads impassable.
On the Somaliland front, clearead
of rains by midsummer, roads are
no such problems, automobile trucks
can push almost anywhere in the
desert country, level and hard.
Columns can move much faster,
Ambush is much more difficult
than in the mountain fastnesseg of
the Tembien and Makale sectors.
There seems little doubt, in this
observer’'s mind, at least, that the
northern theater of war ig about
to ring down the curtain. Trem
endous success in the south before
the front here can be re-opened
these soils and has shown the dif
ference between them.
In Latin we are studying the
perfect infinitive passive which is
easy and also Interesting.

| There is only one battlefield on
{which a woman ig supreme, and
| that is the heart,+ Nellie Rucker,
| Athens, told members of the Pion
?wr and Demosthenian societies at
ia joint debate this week in Dems
{ osthenian hall on 'the University
[ campus,
| The question debated was Re
!sul\'l-d: That woman is the princi
' pal cause of war. . Affirmative
| speakers were Harry Baxter and
| Carl Strong, and the negative side
!\\'us upheld by Jane Miller :nd
‘| Nellie Rucker.
. “When one attempts to under
| stand the conduct of woman, one
imust realize that she is a creature
of deceit and duplicity,” Baxter
| stated. “There is nothing worse
|in the world than a woman—ex
| cept another woman.”
' Miss Miller, ag first speaker for
{the negative, briefly skimmed
[through the pages of history in an
tattempt to find a war in which a
woman participatell principally.
“It grieves me very much to tell
| you that.although wars have been
i('ausod by roses, tea parties, a mid-
Inight ride and the like, I can find
|nune which wag caused by a wom
an.”
i Carl Strong, affirmative speaker,
| cited the instances of lelen of Troy
"and Cleapatra as examples of a
| woman causing a great war. Em
phatically striking the table before
him, Strong concluded his argu
|monts with: “History is that by
which we are guided, and accord
ling to history there is one fact
lwhich is definitely established —
ithat woman are the principal caus
(os of war.”
Following the debate, which was
| presided over by Walter Wise,
{ Demosthenian president, Negro
‘spirituals were sung by the Faith
(ful Four quartette, Athens, Among
their selections were “Swing Low
!S\vool Chariot,” “Good Evening
1 Everybody,” ‘“Little White Babe,”
jand “Angel Drop De Wings.”
