Many Matters Await Action.

There is every reason to expect that
the board will organize with the least
possible delay. Many matters are
awaiting action that can only be given
by the board. While the election of
class A and 4 directors by the member
banks of the reserve system can be
announced as soon as the results of the
election are compiled by the organiZa-
tion committee, it is the duty of the
board to designate class c directors in
all the reserve districts.
Not until these directors are named
can the federal reserve system be or
ganized in any Of the reserve districts.
1t is. therefore. regarded as probable
that the organization committee. con-
fronted by the prospect of long de-
lay in the confirmation of nominees
for the two other seats on the board,
will call meeting of the ex-off1cio
and confirmed members to organize
and go ahead.
The question of funds is another
problem that the board must meet wthouti
delay. Until money is provided by an
assessment of member banks. the
method prescribed by law. the board
will be unable to take over the cleri-
cal force of the organization commit
tee to conduct the details of the work.

GEORGIA NOW OPPOSES COPPER
COMPANY MOVE.

Attorney General Grice is now in Wash
ington combating before the United States
supreme court the latest move of the cop
per corporation in the Ducktown Sulpher,
and Copper and Iron case, waich move is
to place further witnesses before the court
to show that trees and crops are not being
damaged by sui phur fumes. Such evidence,
declares the attorney general, could only
be cumulative and would greatly incon-
venience the state, which is the defendant.
Judging from the above, taken from the
Atlanta Constitution, the state of Georgia
is very much opposed to admitting any
evidence of whatever nature that may tend
to prove that the crops are not injured by
the smoke fumes.
This if further strengthened by the ar
rest on a charge of tresspass of S. M.
Reece, of Ducktown, while having colored
views made of growing crops.
The case was on trial at Elijay this week
and Col. G. G. Hyatt has been down there
since Monday looking after the case.

for the best suggestions. The model
farm home will be along the lines of
the plan worked out by the Interna-

their last meeting in Client, Belgium,
when an entire village was erected.
The model farm will be a practical
working out of various theories upon
which the government has embarked
in the effort to tighten the burden
of toll carried by the American farm
woman. Recent Investigations by
Department of Agriculture experts
have disclosed great need for better
mana cement in the farm kitchen as

Gle SANS attention has been devoted
ID the farmers betterment, but it has
suddenly been realized that, while

toe Of many appliances for tightening
the burden Of women on the farm.

Baby Clothes

'aTimes have changed since the days
when the regulation baby dress was
the Mother Hubbard model, gathered
straight widths on a square or round
yoke. The styles for the little chill
dren of today change with each sue
ceeding season with as much YER
satility as for the grown-ups. Back
in the early sixties, babies wore
clothes almost counterparts of
their parents. The infants frock
was cut panel front with insets of
lace putting or embroidery" says the
Woman's Home Companion. 1.-THE tiny
shoulders, neck and arms were often
left bare, the shoulder straps with
small puff sleeves falling off the
shoulders. Quantities of petticoats
suggested the hoop skirts then in
vogue.
THAT the first consideration for the
baby should be his comfort we all
agree, so the simply made garments
are the most successful. The ma
terials should be as fine as can be
afforded"
