Athletic Underwear and Silk Sox

TNROM cotton sock to silk sock,
+ from Pepperell drill underwear
TO the athletic garment (Which
stops at the knees). is a long step
but this step has been taken by pros
porous farmers In Georgia and by
countless numbers of young men in
the smaller towns. Ask G. A. Smith,
NJ l.. Crawford an0 G. p. Irby, sales
men OF the A. NJ. Robinson Company,
and they will tell you as much. The
long to- the heel" underwear has had
its day and is now found only among
old men who are oonstitutionally op-
posed to change. Likewise, the more
refined taste OF the country districts
calls for silk socks which retail at so

Of bygone days. and the popularity OF

Hats To Be Smaller
And Less in Price

Here's good news for women
who are interested in buying new
hats: Reduction in size and the
overproduction Of hemp in Japan
and the Philippines have combined
to reduce prices considerably, ac-
cording to Clarence r. Palmer
manager Of the Max Kutz milli-
merry establishment.
Hats that formerly wholesaled
at $16.5O to $50 a dozen will here
after be $12 to SIS a dozen. Trim
ming will, of course, run the price
up in the retail market, but Mr..
Palmer thinks the reduction will
obtain all along the line.
After four years Of larger bats,
women are to wear smaller and
smaller ones. The hat is first very
small and gradually grows very
large, when it drops back to small
again. or it starts very large and
goes the other way. which is the
same in the end.

feel that this is the time for
all agencies to join hands for the
promotion of the financial growth
and development of the South
east. Providence Is smiling on us
in such way as to doubly com
pensate for the occasional dull
times in the past. Two great eco
nomiC problems have occupied the
public for years-the tariff and
currency. A wise Democratic ad-
ministration has already settled
the first of these in the interest of
the common people" and prom
ises a speedy settlement of the
latter in favor of the nation rather
than in favor of Wall street.
Bountiful harvests, which are
bringing a good price, the settle
ment of disturbing political
questions, and unanimity in pull
ing together for the good of the
Southland-all these have COM
bined to assure more than tenn
porary prosperity. The South, and
Georgia in particular, is enter
ing on a new era. Producers of
wealth-the farmers-are eXer-
cising more intelligence, and
thereby making two blades of
grass grow where but one grew
before"
If all the factors occupying a
place in the scheme of produc-
ing, assembling and distributing
our products will put a willing
shoulder to the wheel we shall
enjoy more good things than We
have ever enjoyed before.
The Sunday American can and
no doubt will be force in bring

Steele, who sells raincoats and not

is entitled to respectful consideration,

of a bank account, and the raincoat
as an institution has come to stay.
1t is purely a matter of specula-
tion whether or not the advent Of the
raincoat has cut down the sale Of
umbrellas. Probably not. It simply
means that a larger percentage Of
people are keeping out of the rain,
