1T MAY MEAN MORE COTTON,
There Were Heavy Sales of Fertilizer Tags
During January.

Commissioner of Agriculture o. B.
Stevens came down from tlanta Satur>
day and remained until yesterday with
friends and relatives. Judging by the
increased number of tags sold in Janu-
airy of this year, said Mr.. Stevens, it
would seem that the Georgia farmers
have noidea of reducing their cotton
acreage, but rather of increasing it.
The agricultural department sold $12..
900 in fertilizer tags this year as against
S. 900 il Jan uary last year. This is ac-
counted for in degree on the hypothe-
sis that there is large increase of the
grain acreage, which is being more Eeav.
lily ferti.ized this year than formerly, but
this theory is offset by the fact that the
farmer can only hope to meet these in
creased fertilizer bills out of bis cotton
crop, and therefore these large sales of
tags can only mean heavy planting of
cotton.

's0ur hearts are usually very much

writes Edward Box of The Christmas
That Remains nthe December Ladies'
Home Journal ',The desire is to re-
member everybody that we know.
But our means do not generally allow
rs TO do il. So we often pass entirely
by at Chritmas people to whom SIM
pile Merry Christmas and nothing
more, would mean word of cheer
and lignt-heartedness. Because we
cannot give what we would like to we
think that we should not give at all.
The truth is, whether we choose to
acknowledge it in SO many words or
not, that we have grown so CONNER
cially and so ar,iiicially minded in this
country that thousands of us arc prone
to measure our Christmas presents by
the yardstiek Of intrinsic value, or by
what the recipients will think of them.
We seem to have entirely lost sight Of
the fact that we can always give some
thing. And if we gave that something
we would really come closer to the
real spirit of Christmas giving. A few
cheerful words filed with that ex-

Receipt for Washing Lace and
Ribbons.


] admire the young girl who wrote
me that she wished to economic and
learn the arr of washing and cleaning
her own ribbons and laces-as it costs
quite good deal to send them to
cleaner every time. You can clean laces
that are slightly soiled By sprinkling
magnesia upon u smooth sheet of writ
ing paper then lay the lace upon it.
and sprinkle more magnesia over it;
cover with another sheet of paper and
lay heavy book or weight upon it,
and leave it there for several DAYS.
Then take the lace up and shake the
powder all out with camel's hair
brush. This cleans lovely.
When it is necessary to wash lace. it
should be sewn upon strips of muslin
(white) then rolled tightly around
smooth glass bottle aud fastened Sc
curely. Make cleansing suds of
warm rain water and pearline; then
drop the bottle into tins suds, and re-
peatthe process. palting the lace with
the fingers Rinse in several waters,
then dry the lace on the bottle in the
sun
You can clean your ribbons to look
like new by putting them into glass
jar half filled with gasoline and screw
the Top on tight and shake the ribbons
up well; then leave them over night;
the next morning the dirt will be at
the bottom of the jars. j. r. in

AN UNPOPULAR SCHEME.

Reducing our representation, es-
pecially in those States that have re-
stricted suffrage, seems to be agita-
ting the minds of the Northern
Republicans. and which would be
done without limit, If it was not for
the immense capital invested i'll
Southern States by monied men Of
the North, who control and own the
Republican party. The Daily States
commenting on this question, says:
The scheme to reduce the repre-
sentation of those Southern States
that have restricted the suffrage is
so unpopular even IN the North ana
has evoked such vigorous protests
from large financial and commercial
interests that the Republican mana
gers in Congress have concluded to
drop it. There is vast amount of
Northern capital invested in South
ern enterprises, and the owuers, of
this capital are opposed to any leg
islation by Congress which would re-
vive sectional bitterness and disturb
business and industry. Aside from
this the Republican managers realize
that the scheme to reduce he South's
representation is one that may cut in
some unexpected directions, and that
the legal obstacles in its way are
practically insurmountable.
The New York Journal remarks
that the more reckless Republican
organs insist that it is unnecessary
to pay any attention to the census.
They ASSERT says the Journal,
"that Congress can adopt such
methods of estimating the extent of
disfranchisment as it may choose"
OF course from this it would be an
easy step to abandoning any pre-
tense of apportioning Representatives
by any fixed rule, and making the
number depend entirely upon the
arbitrary decree of the Congressional
majority. Congress might say that
New York, being uncertain politi-
cally, should have only twenty repre-
sentatives, and that Pennsylvania
being trustworth, should have forty.
The only safegard against such an
outcome as this is to cling to the con-
stitutional method of apportionlng
seats by the census.
Besides, the Republicans have be-
gun to realize that it is not RAINBOW
chasing to look for votes for them
selves in the South. In two sue
cessive presidential elections they
have carried Maryland, Delaware
and West Virginia /; they carried Ken
lucky four years ago, and came with
in an ace of carrying it this time.
They have chances in Tennessee, and
possibilities 10 Missouri. All this
would be thrown away by raising the
sectional issue, and therefore there
is every reason to believe that the
issue will not be raised.
