an association. He told of several
instances where it had done
much to correct the evils exist
ing in that state. Likewise Mr..
T. C. Flowers, Of Oklahoma,
which state was the first to
organize two years ago. gave q
talk on the good that had been
done in his state. The organiza-
ton was outlined and meeting
adjourned until the afternoon.
The Great Southern Hotel
entertained with a noon lunch
in honor of the visitors.
Al the afternoon meeting it
was unanimously agreed that
Mississippi needed to organize,
and the following directors and
officers were elected from diff
ferent sections of the state who
will hold another meeting in
Jackson in about two weeks to
provide for a charter and draw
up bylaws and constitution for
the Association: Geo. S. Will
man, of Meridian, President; w.
R. Humphrey, of Greenwood,
LIST Vice President; J. E Motlow,
of Tupelo, End Vice-President;
V. L. Davis, of Jackson, Treas
urer: G G. Alexander, Green
vile; E. S. Carothers, West
Point; l. /. Pierson, Grenada;
F. S. Senton. Laurel; S. B. Will
son, Vicksburg. These direc-
tors will at their next meeting
elect a secretary who will be the
all important officer of the As
ISOLATION. He must be thorough
ly competent in every respect
and understand the inside of cot
ton from the seed to the cloth.
He will be the only salaried man
and will be paid a salary com
mensurate with his duties, and
will be expected to devote his
whole time to this work.
It was decided to name the
organization The Mississippi
Cotton Association, and every
man interested in any way in
cotton will be asked to join. The
farmers especially and all mer-
chants who buy and sell cotton
are solicited to become members
Of this organization which viii
be of incalcurahle benefit to them
as well as the other branches or
the trade.
It's primary idea is to see that
cotton is weighed right and that
competent men are employed at
both warehouse and compress to
supervise this weighing, also to
protect the shipper from heavy
at the other end and from
country damage and excess tare
as far as possible.
1t is hoped that all states will
and then form fedora
ton which will go a long .way
toward governing the prices of
the South's cotton crop as lwell
as correcting the evils now exist
ing in this cotton trade. If the
cotton buyer has some protection
he will be enabled to pay more
for the cotton, whereas, now he
never knows Wnen ne IS through
paying claims.
This organization will also be
an Arbitration Committee to
pass on any difficulties arising
among it's members. and will
look into such claims as may
seem unjust that come up be-
tween the sellers and consignees.
Sometimes the claims and re-
quirements are just, but often
unjust, which a disinterested
arbitration aften proves. OF late
these claims, according to the
rules of the domestic manufac-
turers and foreign importers.
have become so burdensome and
unjust tibet it has come to a point

THINGS R KNOWING

To clean coffee-stained linen soak in
cold water, to which has been added
a little borax. All coffee, chocolate.
tea and fruit stains will disappear if
boiling water be poured over and
through the spot before the linen Is
washed. 1t is best to do this while
the stain is fresh and damp.
To sweeten closets, small pieces of
charcoal laid in the corners md upon
the shelves of closets will absorb
dampness and dispei unpleasant
! doors.
To remove engine grease from cloth
washing. There is tar in engine
grease The lard win emove pure
tar from cloth.
Felled seams in garments-Where a
raw eam would look unsfgatly, try
running through the small hemner
of the sewing machine. Thts may be
done much more quickly than by
hand, and with better results.
To mend graniteware break into
small bits old rubber rings of fruit
Jars and heat them over the fire until
they bubble. Then spread the melted
rubber over the leaks in the seams of
the vessels. Mend galvanized wash
tubs in the same way. 1t is better
than anything else I have used for
this purpose.

have its appeal to the actress and to

from it, and, as one side contains a
magnifying glass and the other a nat
ural and exceptionally fine mirror. it
will surely be in demand for other
purposes than shaving.
A leading importer is responsible
for n newest pocket knives. They
are exquisitefy beautiful, made
especially for souvenirs for men. They
contain a blade. a pair of scissors
and an elongated nail file that can
also be used for a pipe cleaner. The

of art. That which is a souvenir

SEPARATE OUTING SKIRTS

the separate skirt. Linens appear Ia
a great variety Of weaves and de-
signs. Some are in open work pat
terms. trimmed with cotton frinea
and covered with buttons. While this
material is rather expensive 1t is wide
and cuts TO a good advantage, re-
curing few yards TO make a skirt.
In addition to linens there are piques,
corded %cottons. rep. w~hipcords, cordu-
roy in cotton and ratiDe, all being
used extensively for the washable
skirt.
These materials are especially good
In the white and light tans. Colored
effects are also favored for outing
wear, the dull blues and browns be-
ing most in use.
Virtually all the separate skirts are
made with a high waist line. These
skirts are quickly adjusted. requiring
no belt. Skirts of mofre silk are
shown for the woman who desires .
skirt of dark material. Bengaline
and tourist silk is also used for this
purpose.
Separate skirts are always in great
demand. Women do not like to wear
the skirt of a coat suit to have Il
worn and soiled long before the coat
has done any service at all.
Many remnants may be had for .

There is always a demand for two
or more separate skirts in the sum

For outing purposes they are espe-
cially appropriate. Attired for the

skirts r a trifie wider than those
Of the spring they still follow the
straight severe lines TO produce the
long. slender effect.
Many of the skirts appear with a
slight fullness about the waist line
instead of being gored.
This style is becoming to slender
women only, therefore, it is mo- SC
practical as some others.
Overskirt and tunic effects continue
to be fashionable.
Tapped front breadths trimmed

Other models have side hens ex-

For SaHoB. Blofchy,
Rough or Greasy Skins
tFrom Woman's Trioume.)

Some skins require constant groom
ing to keep them from becoming oily,
muddy, blotchy or rough, or If such
condition has developed. to overcome
1t. In such chronic cases 1t is par
ticularly indavisable to keep piling on
cosmetics which clog the pores, collect
dust and dirt-especially in warm
weather - making the complexion
worse than ever. It's a lot more SEN
sible to use ordinary m~ercolized wax,
which literally absorbs a bad COM
plexion. Apply the wax. like cold
cream, before retiring; next morning,
in washing IL off. you'll wash away
fine, 1our-like particles of the un-
slightly cuticle. Repeat for a week
or more and you'll have an entirely
new skin-soft, sattny, spotless and
beautiful as a child's. One ounce OF
mercolized wax, procurable at any
druggists, is all you'n need.
If the skin be wrinkled or f1abby,
here's the best possible remedy: Mix
Y pint witch hazel and i ouce pow
dered saxolite and use as a face bath.
1t works like a miracle, yet is entire
ly harmless.
