women make In learning the game.
She knows their power, strength and
their weakness, and can, therefore,
anticipate and overcome their difficult

recent diff srences between the Far

Jordan saYs:
''I shsll retire from my present po-
sition in the Southern Cotton Assoc!s.

Mr.. Jordan hes been president OF
the Southern Cotton Association since
it's organization, and his sdmin!ssra-
sion Of the efloe has not given salts
faction all the time, but he has had
very loyal support even from those
who thought he had made mistakes
Bis recent newspaper controversies
with cfi cials Of the Famers' Union
nave to some extent weakened hin
and hsve not done the Cation Asso
cistion any good. It was Jordan who,
without authority, demanded the IL
ccn.s' minimum last year, and 1t vas
be who stood by Richard Cheathan
the secretary Of the organization, Wht
got mixed up with the bucket shops
In Atlanta.
It is stated that the Georgia farm

brated Tom Watson for president. Al
