BOTH VERSATILE AND STRONG
Young English Author Especially Gift
ed With Talent Along Many Lines
Other Than Writing.

Eldrid Reynolds, the young English
woman who is the author of the novel
Whispering Dust" belongs to an old
Yorkshire family, and numbers among
her ancestors Elizabeth Fry, the
prison reformer, the poet Bloomfield
and James Ward and George More
land, both noted as painters. Miss
Reynolds spent her childhood on the
wide, heather-covered Yorkshire moors
and the wild Cornish coast. The pas
sion for space, freedom and the i'm
mensities which she voices in "Whie-
pering Dust" Is doubtless the result Of
her early environment.
The book itself is the result of
winter on the Mediterranean and in
Egypt, but the heroine, who after
thirty years of cramping duties as "a
curate's daughter and a curate's
niece" longs to accomplish something,
can by no means be identified with
the author. Miss Reynolds has accom-
plished a great deal in less than thirty
years. She created stories before she
could read; wrote, acted and produced
plays for home and school before she
reached her teens; published her first
story at sixteen and her first novel,
RED of the Rock" at twenty. She
has decided talent for drawing and
singing and her favorite recreations
show that she can be by no means a
dreamer. Among them are riding,
sailing, fishing, dancing, winter sports,
caravaning, amateur theatricals, pho

THE COTTON PROBLEM.

The one big problem before the
Southern people is the cotton ques-
ton. The crop is now being gather
ed for market but there is practical
ly no market, for every exchange in
the world is closed.
The mills in this country will run
to their full capacity but they are
not in business from any philanthro-
phic motives and will buy cotton as
cheaply as they can get it. They
are offering, | understand, eight and
a half cents. Let us hope that they
will not get any at that price. They
certainly ought to not to get much.
But, it is my opinion that the cot
ton planter will have to take care
of himself so far as the mills are
concerned Business is business
and no cotton mill is going to pay
more for cotton than the least that
will buy it. That is the dark side
but if the truth is dark let's look at
it nevertheless.

farm helps the price and every bale
that is rushed on the market hurts
the price.
The man who is in debt should
make some arrangements satisfac-
tory to the man whom he owes, but
those who hold notes should be leni-
ent and not make the farmer lose
more than is absolutely necessary.
the bruised weed will He not
break; the smoking flax will He not
quench. The man who has borne
the burden and the heat of summer
is entitled to consideration and feel
quite sure that the splendid bust
ness men of all the Cobb county
towns will cooperate to save our
farmers from loss.
Let's not get ratified.
Lets stand together
Let our motto be: Live and help
live"
The suggestion is made, and it
appears to be a good one, that where
man owes a merchant he bring in
cotton, store it, give a note for what
he owes, with the warehouse re-
ceipt as security, and in that way
meet his obligations. The merchant
can then discount the note and get
money with which to pay what he
owes. When there is a market for
cotton it can be sold, the farmer
can pay his note and get the benz
fit of the increased price for his
cotton
Cotton is now selling, 1 under
stand, for eight cents in South Geor-
gia, where men are compelled to sell.
Many of the farmers, however, are
carrying their cotton back home.
The insurance companies have
fixed nine cents as the highest price
at which they will insure cotton for
the present They reserve the right
to replace cotton that is burned.
This, of course, is done to remove
the temptation to insure cotton and
then set it on fire

storing about five thousand bales, or
about half the amount that will be
marketed here. Many farmers will

About the first of last March l

There was an object lesson for
every farmer.
Uncle Gid's smoke house was full
of meat and Mrs Morris pantry was
full of good things which she had
put up. There was plenty of bread
and butter in that house and sixty
bales of cotton under the shed,
which the man who raised it was
going to sell when he got good and
ready.

The farmer can, to a large eX-

Then, the war may end as suddenly
as it started. At any rate, | believe
that by the first of November We
will be able to ship cotton to Eng
land, Japan, and many other coun-
tries. Germany and France will. Of
course, be bottled up, but the way to
England will be clear AS soon as

to buy at better prices. If through
general agreement or because of low
prices the acreage of cotton is re-
duced next spring there will be an
increased demand for this years
crop. Prices will undoubtedly De
better next March if not before.

The Government is going to do it's
utmost to finance the holding OF
cotton by making warehouse receipts
available security for currency is
sues.
One trouble that has been encoun-
tered so far is that there are so
many State banks with which the
National government has no connec-
ton. Plans are being devised by
which the State banks will be per-
mitted to join in the work of saving
the situation.
1t is my judgement that the indi-
vidual States ought to be allowed
some part in the harvesting and
holding of crops.
Suppose in this emergency, for in
stance, the State of Georgia could
go to Washington, deposit State
bonds as security, and receive $50

When the cotton was sold the banks
could pay the state, the State could
pay the Government and the bonds
could be taken up This would re-
quire a Constitutional amendment,
but that would not be any trouble,
comparatively, if the war SHOULD
last for year and a half. The
State would be safe in handling the
transaction as under the law It
would have first lien on the assets
of the banks. Georgia had 5000.

closed but the State got it's money
within a few weeks. The Southern
States could combine on a scheme OF
this kind and get every dollar neces-
Sary to hold the surplus cotton.

Mr.. j. w. Hardeman expressed it

That event came wildly to mind
today when I realized what Senator

welfare OF the nation
More than fifty years ago the young
soldiers of Hookers division of the
army of the Potomac, frequented a
dissolute section of Washington City,
and in such numbers that the section
became known as "Hooker's division .
The civil war ended, the soldiers
disappeared, new conditions came, a
great city grew up at the seat of gov
eminent, but "the division" as it fin
ally was called, continued flagrantly
in populous part of this national
capital. Protests to the congress were
unheeded. Police power was either
purchased or awed. The strange

brazen face within few blocks of

Senator Kenyon determined that
the division" should be banished
from the national capital city. His
determination was that of a man
whose determination means some
thing. In season and out OF season
the senator kept his "red light bill
before the proper committees; secured
favorable reports upon it; secured It's
passage by the senate, and now it re-
quires only the signature of President
Wilson to make 1t a law.

Baking Helps
Learn to Regulate the Heat Of

There is just one way to make
your cakes rise high and keep an
even surface. Have your oven
moderate at first, until the cake is
fully rizen; then increase the heat.
50 as to brown it over quickly.
Extreme heat stiffens the dough.
II you stiffen the outside of the
cake before the rising is complete,
you stop the rising process. Then
the leavening gas, forming inside,
will bulge UP the center, where
the dough is still soft, and spoil
the shape of the cake.
NorE-Biscuits or other nastries
made from stiff dough, that are cut into
shapes for the oven, bake in q hot over, VEN
This Is because the cut surfaces Of the
dough DO not scar over, but rather
leave the pores open, allowing the
leavening gas to escape and the heat to
penetrate readily. Small ovens cool
quickly; therefore they should be made
several degrees hotter than larger
oven, and the less the door is Opened
the better. Do not attempt to bake
bread and pastry together. Bread re-
quires prolonged, moderate baking
pastry the reverse.
