COTTON GROWERS
OPPOSE FIXING OF
PRICE BY CONGRESS

cia1 0-Thousands upon thousands OF
letters from all parts of the south
z,ill soon be reaching Washington,
where they will be assembled in one
e.igantic protest from cotton growers
against legislative interference. with
the price of cotton.
This is in pursuance of the action
+aken at the recent meeting in New
Orleans of the Cotton States Official
Alyisory Marketing Board, where it
was declared that
1--WE are opposed to congress fix
mo price on cotton or delegating
the authority to do so to anyone
else"
In line with the agreement there
reached, Director L. B. Jackson, of
the Georgia State Bureau of Markets,
who was elected permanent secre-
+arv of the board, has just mailed
more than 1000 letters to the CORES
nondents of the State Market Bureau
in every militia district in Georgia,
as beginning of the campaign in
this state.
In these letters it is pointed out
that probably the deciding factor as
to whether the federal government
will put cotton under the food ad-
ministration, and authorize someone
to put price upon it, will be the
question as to whether or not cotton
farmers will decrease their acreage
and put more acreage in food and
feedstuffs.
1t is strongly urged that the cot
ton planters in each district get to-
gether and that they enter into an
agreement to reduce their cotton
acreage 10 per cent, planting the
land so withdrawn from cotton in
food and feed products.
Each cotton farmer is then asked
to write letter direct to E. A. Cal
win, Care National Hotel, Washing
ton, D. c., agreeing to make this re-
duction in cotton and increase in
foods. Mr.. Calvin as special agent
of the cotton states marketing board,
will assemble these letters which will
be sent in by the thousand, constitut-
ing a tremendous and substantial
protest which, it is confidently be-
leved, will do more than anything
else that can be done, to defeat the
enemies of the cotton farmer, and
stop the price fixing movement.
This same campaign will be push
ed in every one of the cotton states,
as that when these letters are all in,
as they should be as quickly as posi-
bic, Mr. Calvin will be in position to
make practically invincible showing.
Mr. Calvin, who has always served
well the cause OF the farmers in Tex
as, his home state, where he is well
known and highly esteemed, will be
permanently located in Washington,
where he will uphold the interests of
the farmer and keep watch on the
efforts of the spinners to bring about
adverse or hampering legislation.
The affairs of the Cotton States
Official Advisory Marketing Board
will be directed from Atlanta the en-
suing year, both the president and
the secretary of the organization
having been given to this state. Geor-
gia's Commissioner of Agriculture, j..
J. Brown, was named President, and
l. B. Jackson, Director of the Geor-
gia Bureau of Markets, it's Secretary
and Treasurer. Through the organ
ization, therefore, Georgia will WELD
a powerful influence in upholding the
interests and strengthening the hand
of the cotton growers all over the
south.

EVER SALNATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLEI
Calome1 is. quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you a day! Yor
know what ealomel is. It's mer'
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into soul bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put int
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not saliVate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

WE MUST THINK IN BIGGER
FIGURES-THAT is ALL.

We are quite willing to dispense
with that customer who is too grasp
ing and selfish to adjust himself to
present-day conditions.
We need not be afraid that rising
prices will seriously affect any busl-
ness. Cost is a cold fact, and profit
is payment for services rendered.
We have raised our selling prices,
but this does not mean, as one of our
customers naively assumed, that we
are getting rich in the business. On
ly a few printers do that. When
prices advance, it is cost, not profit
that advances. For this reason we
cannot understand how some print
ers increases of price apol-
ogetically, as if they were exacting
something more than usual for their
own pockets.
Every small as well as every great
item of cost is growing-and it will
be some time before the increased
prices overtake the advanced costs,

business is adjusting itself to a new

are expressed in higher figures. The
farmer, for example, gets more for
his product and he will return his
higher gains by paying more for la
Dor and supplies. What he takes
with one hand he must give with the
other.
Reluctant buyers of printing will
use the changed conditions as an ex-
cuse for not printing something the
printer may believe. the buyer real
ly needs-and now, if ever, is the
time for the banker, the merchant,
the business man of whatsoever call
ing, to use his God-given foresight
and wisdom in so adjusting himself
and his business to the conditions of
today. Let US all realize that with
about twice as much gold and cur
rency in the United States as there
was before the War, business will
proceed actively and there will be
ample money to handle your bust
ness and mine.-Push, by Hackney

THE KNOW 1T ALL" AGE

In an article in the July Woman's
Home Companion on "The Girl of
Seventeen" this mother says:
"She IS just seventeen. years of
age is sweetly pretty, innocent, re-
fined, intelligent, talented, and is
blessed with an open mind, particu-
larly receptive, just now, to all up-
to-date ideas in the way of dress
fads, social stunts, ragtime melodies,
Jazz bands, new dances, and late
coltfures. She is, in two words, my
daughter, a lovely child of the period
just arrived at the know it all, age,
and represents the average daughter
of this day, a replica of the daugh-
ters of other mothers.

essary to her as a housekeeper and
purse-keeper, also an admiring audi
ence of one for this very indepen-
dent young person. A few years ago
l added to these, titles those of men
tor, guide, teacher and comforter.
but, to be a bit slangy, within the
past year l have lost my job and
have fallen from my high estate as
leader and manager to the second in
command. In fact, the. tables have
swung completely around and where
only a short time ago, I mothered
my baby girl, it is I who am being
slaughtered, who am being trained
to look upon life, not as a sedate
mother person twice and a little
more the years of my daughter but
with the eyes of youthful seventeen,
who am being skillfully and t~actfully
imbued, by my very child, with the
latest ideas in regard to living. 1
am being lovingly required, nay,
sweetly compelled, to change my
ideas and opinions so that they may
conform to hers"

DEMOCRATS IN FINE SHAPE

Democratic State Chairman Thos.
D. Warren opened headquarters IN
Raleigh on Wednesday of last week
and will wage a vigorous patriotic
campaign for the election of the
State ticket and ten administration
democrats to the next congress from
North Carolina. He is confident OF
democratic success and says so. Al
ter travelling extensively over the
State Chairman Warren tells the
News and Observer that he hnds the
party in fine shape.
"I feel satisfied" he said, "that
the president and his administration
Will be given a strong vote of conf
dence by the people of North Caro-
lima at the coming election"
Of course they will, Mr.. Warren,
for North Carolinians are patriots
first of all and Woodrow Wilson is
an ideal leader in their estimation.
He has become the recognized
spokesman for free peoples every
where and North Carolina will vote
to maintain the reputation he has
sustained by his matchless leadership
during this world struggle for dem
ocracy. Every democratic ticket
represents an endorsement of his
course and the party he represents
will roll up a tremendous majority
in this State next November.

Lift YOUR CORNS

Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called ~freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ~ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any f~reezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you,

for a few cents.

The juice Of two fresh lemons strained
into a bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
beautifier at about the cost one must
pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to strain
the lemon juice through a fine cloth SO
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
TO bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands.
