mo CAUSE FOR
ALARM SAYS BROWN

ATLANTA, Ca, August 31.-"There
is no reason to get excited over the
cotton market situation" states Com
missioner of Agriculture J. J. Brow :.
If each farmer will retire and hold
every third bale, marketing the re-
mainder gradually, the cotton situa-
ton will work out all right, Mr..
Brown said.
''It has cost us an average of more
than 25 cents to produce this crop"
Mr.. Brown stated, land the detericra-
ton has been the greatest in the last
forty days ever known. 1t is now
evident that we cannot make nor
maj crop.
at has been clearly shown that the
American mills will need in round
number a million bales more than
last year. America exported last
year about 100000 bales. Recently
England has increased her active
spindles five per cent and increased
the number of working hours Is per
cent; so that the English consumption
will be more than million bales in
excess of what it was last year.
From these facts it is evident that
the worlds demand will be more than
two million bales in excess of last
year; and since the crop will not be
above normal there is no reason that
we can see to worry about the price
of cotton
THE law of supply and demand
under which the farmers have been
selling their cotton for the last fifty
years and every principle of fair
dealing, warrants legitimate price
of more than 35' cents a pound for the
current crop"

Georgette crepe and satin have
rivaled one another In afternoon
gowns during the present summer,
with georgette the choice little more
often than satin. But with summer
on the wane, the indications are that
satin will outstrip georgette and hold
first place in fashions favor. A
lovely gown is shown in the picture,
in which these two beautiful materials
have Joined forces to make a dress
of wonderful distinction In which
beige colored geOrgette and black satin
are frightened with a beaded passe-
menterie. It is one of the new evo-
lutions that have come along in the
train Of slip-over garments.
There are several features in this
new model that will commend 1t to
the woman who has present need of
new afternoon gown. We have come
to the place where 1t goes without say
ing that an afternoon gown will do
double duty as long as 1t survives the
demands made upon it for both after
noon and evening; for it must take the
place of evening gowns. To begin with
the most essential Of all things, this
particular model has beautiful lines.
1t is cut in an original manner with
a narrow yoke and upper portion Of
the sleeves in one, The body Of the
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1918-09-01

gown hangs In straight lines from the
yoke, to which it is attached with hem
stitching. The lower part Of the
long f1aring sleeve is Joined to the up
per portion In the same way.
The lower part of the gown shows
two wide bands Of black satin, one Of
them set on to an underslip of silk and
the other to the georgette Of the
frock. Where these are joined two mar
row bands Of beaded trimming, in
black and beige, make very rich and
effective finish. The sleeves are
banded with this trimming at the
hand. The underslip is Of beige col
ored fouiard, with a black scroll de-
sign in it, but plain foulard or taffeta
is as good choice for gown that
is to do duty for evening wear. The
narrow sash is of black satin and
loops over at the back, weighted at
the ends with beaded tassels. A hat
with black malines brim and black
panne velvet crown is noncommittal
as to whether it is summer or win
ter affair; it belongs to either, and is
a fine companion piece for the gown.
