New Eashfnsa

A charming fashion recently revived
at the Paris opera consists in pinning
couple OF flowers upon the bodice
Of the simply draped gowns in white
or black charmeuse. But these floral
trimmings do not adapt themselves
co the magnificent models In embroi-
dered velyets, brocaded satins and
gauzes recently launched upon the
stage. nor do they figure on beaded
creations. In the latter case tbs
yelled effects In spangled tulle and
lace. the draperies and the Innings
OF damask and charmeuse give the
required characterization TO these beau
ufus toilets.

MOTHER Of FIVE
URGES REFORM
IN COURTSHIP
Disregards Spooning Crusade to
Denounce ParIor Manners of
Her Daughters Wooers.

It was ever thus. Out in the red
hills of Georgia the call is for re
fawm" In the elegant city parlors
clubwomen suavely discuss reform
Of everything from the slit skirt to
the ballot. Atlanta policemen are
tainted. thoroughly with the reform
bacteria until you can no more kiss
the lady of your heart than you could
tousle the mustache of Chief Beavers
with impunity.
The wonder of it is how September
Morn got by.
II is everywhere thus in Georgia
Therefore. the crusade that was be
gun to day by mother in Roma, Ga,
is no more than consistent. Here's
is a real reform, aimed at what she
says is the bad manners Of the young
men of Rome who call on her daugh-
tiers,
They smoke cigarettes in her parlor,
these young men. and very non
chalantly, after they have known her
daughter Elizabeth ten minutes. call
her Lizzie or Liz All this the moth
er considers improper.
In a statement ito the public
meaning the mother public, she is
asking that stop he put to all this.
Her Beatrice" must not be 'Trixy'
to practical strangers, and the picture
Of her grandfather that hangs sedate-
ly over the parlor mantel must not be
wreathed in cigarette smoke. And it
seems hard that she should be forced
to view through the smoke pail the
figures Of languid young men with
their feet on her parlor chairs
At least there should be no doubt
that this mother in Rome. who gives
the only hint of her identity by sign
ing herself "A Mother Of Five Daugh-
ters," has a worthy reform to advo-
cate. The Woman's Club of Rome
will consider il when next its mem
bers meet. and the eloquent appeal
Of the Mother of Five Daughters"
to clubwomen everywhere in Georgia,
is likely to have an effect in reEener-
ating the parlor manners OF Georgia

SAYS j. s. LEAD IN
COTTON IS TAGGING
Georgia Expert Urges Farmers to
Use improved Method of Bal
ing and Caring for Staple.

Declaring the supremacy of Ameri-
ca in cotton production is in danger
because Of improper methods of bal
ing and caring for the staple. T. H.
Kimbrough, of Cataula, Ga, former
member OF the legislative committee
OF the Farmers Union, has issued a
letter to Southern farmers, pleading
for reforms
This loss of supremacy in cotton
growing" Mr.. Kimbrough said, may
not appear probable for several years,
but looks possible when we remem-
Der that only few years ago we
produced So per cent OF the cotton
Of the world, and now we produce
only 10 per cent.
IF we would hold our own and
make any progress. there are i'm
provements and many changes that
must be made.
Our cotton should be gathered
when dry, housed and protected until
ready for the gin. The gin roll should
be run out sufficiently close when
changing on bales to prevent mix
ture of grades. and avoid false packs,
which can be done if honestly pre-
pared and properly looked after by
the gin man.
Your cotton should be baled in a
standard press box Cnot over q BY
b4D, using a good grade Of bagging
of sufficient width, weight and
strength; also secured at the ends
with good Irvine, to protect it IN
transit, and so far as possible the
bales should be Of uniform weight
never less than 400 pounds nor more
than 500 pounds
