‘‘First** hales of cotton of the new crop
are now lieing reported from various
fields in southwest Texas and by these
we are being made aware that the general
picking season is near at hand.
These first bales are gathered hastily
and rushed to market to obtain the market
patronized and for the prestige that goes
with the enterprise of being first. After a
whi’c the second hale begins to lie report-
ed and then it may be taken for granted
that picking is well under way and the
gins getting busy.
Since the last government report esti-
*r%~ .
mating a crop of more than 15000000
hale* as the American output there Is
reported to have been some diminution of
the prospect lieeause of unfavorable wea-
ther conditions particularly deficiency of
moisture in some instances. In one section
of the Texas cotton belt a report says
many fields that promised yields of half
a hale to a bale to the acre have died out
so that a hale to five or six acres wil’ la-
the average. It i< noted however that
other portions of the belt continue to
show fair to good progress for the grow-
ing crop and there is little if any com-
plaint of increased depredations by boll
weevils. The latest National Weather and
Crop Bulletin says the lack of moisture
has not yet proven detrimental to cotton
except in portions of Texas that the wea-
ther has lieuji favorable for cultivation
and that the fields are generally free of
grass.
Altogether the prospects appear to bo
excellent for an unusually large if not for
i* re<^»rd breaking crop and for an active
demand that will absorb all of it de&piio
the inaccessibility of certain foreign mar-
kets that in peace times are large consum-
ers of the raw material. The United States
the entente allies and mitral countries
wi*l need a great deal uf cotton for war
as well as for civilian uses enough per-
haps to maintain the markets for the
staple at quotations far above the pre-
war average if not quite up to the pres-
ent levels- The problem is now or soon
will he. to find the necessary !labor to
gather the cotton and that problem
stresses the need for vigorous enforce -
ment of the “anti-loafing” and “work or
fight” regulations.
Sun Benito has reason to he proud of
its baseball team. When a team can play
the kind of baseball the Saints do ami
play only omee - a weak without practice
in the week days there i> hound to he
some wonderful material in that club.

ENTIRE COMMUNITY
IS AMAZED OVER IT
SEYMOUR GAINS 30 POUNDS ON TAN-
LAC AND TROUBLE OF 15 YEARS
STANDING ENDED
“1 simply can’t find words »to tc'J yon
how nuii'h Tanlac has been worth to me ’
said Charles Seymour a well-known met-
al polisher living at Pleasant View Co£o.
recently.
“I had been a sick min for fifteen
years” he continued “and had fallen off
until 1 weighed only one hundred and
fifteen pounds. 1 suffered from the ef-
fects of grippe had pleurisy and stom-
ach trouble and something like bronchi-
tis. No one thought 1 would ever get well
and as for myself I had no idea I could
live much longer. In fact I was given up
to die and I was in so much suffering
that it would have made little difference
to me if 1 had. The people out where 1
live all know what an awful condition 1
was in and the whole community is sur-
prised at my recovery
•*1 had gained all ot' thirty pounds by
taking Tanlae and feel that 1 have a new
ho'.d on life. My stomach trouble and
| everything else I suffered from has disap-
peared. I can eat and sleep like a school
boy and am so strong and well that I can
do as much work as I ever could. I can’t
help praising Tanlae and I wouldn’t he
without it for any amount of money. My
pr-t bottle made me feel better and I kept
taking it until it made a new man of me.
Mv wife also took several Iwrtt'es and it
relieved her trouble and built her right dp.
I would buy Tanlae if it cost me five dol-
lars a bottle and think it cheap at that.
If anybody wants to get it dirct from me
what 1 think of Tanlae all they have to
do is a-k me. I’ll t«iI the world what it is
and how it saved me.”

How France Has
Been Fed
“Before the war a distinguished
French Officer General Maitrot wrote
a series of articles in the ‘Echo de Paris*
to warn France that in case of war the
French meat industry would be unable
to supply the French army in the field
with fresh meat—owing especially to
the lack of modern refrigerating plants
and of refrigerating transportation—and
too owing to the deficiency in the
national herd.”
“Since the war began the French
army has never been short of fresh meat
thanks mainly to the prosperous condi-
tion of the American meat industry
and too to the American live stock
breeders.”
The foregoing statement was made
by a representative of the Allies now
in the United States.
k . * '* % f v . . * «* r • i
Another representative of the Allies
said recently:
“that the American packers have been
of the greatest possible assistance to the
Allies and have by their efficient co-
operation contributed in the utmost
degree to the successful prosecution of
the war.”
