Miss Pleasant Stovall to be Red Cross Nurse. Savannah, Ga., Get. 24.—Ad vices received in Savannah today from Berne, Switzerland, state that Miss Pleasant Stovall, daughter of Pleasant A. Stovall, American misister to Switzer land, is now studying to prepare herself for Red Cross work in Europe. She will probably go to the front. All the young girls and women in Berne and in the principal capitals are enlisting for the service, it is stated. Holding Cotton. We are all very busy now gath ering our crops and trying to keep from buying anything un less we sell something to pay for it at buying time. The cotton will soon be gather ed. Peas and peavine hay are also receiving their just share of attention. Corn will come next, and then sugar cane, sweet pota toes. The ‘ boss” is planning to save all cane fodder and tops for roughage for the stock this win ter. It seems that our flock of chick ens and cows realize that we are needing their produce, for we have never had so many eggs to sell in the fall, and the price so good, too. And the rich, yellow butter and good milk makes one feel that life is worth living. We will have hogs enough to make our meat and lard for another year. The high price of sugar has not bothei'ed this family, as we already had plenty of sugar cane syrup, and can get along nicely without sugar. As to clothes, we will just get what we really need. All thej old clothes have been inspected and some can be cleaned and pressed, some ripped up and cut down for the children, and some dyed and combined with other old cloth and made to look like new. The farmers here, that can, are holding their cotton at home. The ones who owe their merchant and cannot borrow? the money to pay are letting the merchant have it on consignment. I do not think there has been a bale bought in our little town, which usually buys something like two thousand bales. Thus we see the farmers are holding out for their rights—doing without luxuries and buying only necessities, which would be the best plan if we had never heard of war.— Mrs. C. Id. Littleton in Southern Ruralist. Prices for Cottonseed. Something must be wrong somewhere about the prices paid for cottonseed. We can under stand why prices for cotton lint should be jeopardized abroad, but why prices for cottonseed should take the tumble they have can not be explained that way. A year ago it was not unusual that a farmer received $26 to S2B a ton for seed. Now prices have been cut just in half and yet the demand for cottonseed meal, both for fertilizers and feed, wms never so great as this year. All kinds of feed are high in price and cottonseed meal should be in demand as never before. Hence the cottonseed should be worth close to the •+200,000,000 mark. Cottonseed is worth as much this year as ever for feed and fertilizer, and while exports will be stopped to a certain ex tent, the home demands should be so great as to take care of this surplus heretofore going abroad. —Southern Farming. How the War Helps The Meat Business. Chicago, Oct. 22—For the first time in sixteen years the meat packers at the stock yards are working day and night in the canned meat and hide depart ments to fill orders, received as a result of the war. In the canning departments of , the big packers alone, three thousand extra rnen have been , put to work within a week. 1 Youth, 19, to Hang for Slaying Police Chief. Ocilla, Oct. 22.—Charles Gra ham, 19 years old, today was sen tenced by Judge W. F. George, in Irwin Superior Court, to hang November 20 for the murder of Lawrence Newbern, chief of po lice of Broxton. He was convict ed yesterday, after the jury had been out twenty hours. The case was transferred from Coffee Superior Court on change of venue. Kill Bill Reducing 1915 Cotton Acreage. Austin, Tex., Oct. 24. — Pro posed legislation to reduce cotton acreage in Texas next year was killed in the Legislature last night when the House defeated this measure 84 to 12. The bill would have made it a felony to raise cotton in excess of a fixed percentage of this year’s crop by acreage. This percentage ac cording to amendments offered at various times, ranged from 25 to 50 per cent. The House still has before it a proposal to recommend voluntary acreage cotton reduc tion. Strictly Logical. The Evening Post Saturday Magazine tells us that Professor Sudbury, who w'as extremely nearsighted, went to the barber’s, sat down in the barber’s chair, took off his glasses, and desired to be shaved. When the “artist” was done with him, he did not move, and for a time no one disturbed him. But other customers began to ar rive, and the chair was needed. The head barber, suspecting that his learned patron had fallen asleep, asked the boy to wake him. The professor overheard the order. “No, my good man,” he said, “I am not asleep. The fact is, I am frightfully nearsighted. Wh >n I took my glasses off, I was no longer able to see myself in the mirror opposite. Naturally, I supposed I had already gone home. ’ ’ Bee Business Buzzing. Georgia bee-keepers have just completed gathering the 1914 honey crop. According to the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Ag riculture, the yield per colony of bees was 30 pounds. In 1913 the production per hive was also 30 pounds. The latest census figures of the bee and honey industry of this state relate to 1910. That year there were 23,167 farms in Geor gia that kept bees and the total number of colonies was 130,549. Must Have Evidence. “I tel! you, Jack,” said the enthusiast in the Berliner Zei tung, “I have a new car that is wonderful ! It runs so smoothly that you can’t feel it; it makes no noise at all. and there is no smell of gasoline ! And speed ! Why, it goes so fast that you can’t see it!” “Indeed !” replied his friend. “You can’t feel it, hear it, smell it, or see it?
