THE MACON COTTON
MEETING THURSDAY

Macon, Ca, Feb. 6--At the meet
ing of farmers and business men here
today, the following program of meas
ures for relief of the cotton market
were endorsed:
/. To reduce the acreage and yield
of cotton during 1919 by at least 20
per cent.
2. To continue with unrelaxed de-
termination the holding of cotton now
in the hands of farmers, merchants,
bankers, ETC., until the market is
ready to pay price covering cost
of production plus reasonable profit,
this price ranging from 80 to 35
cents pound.
3. Lifting of the blockade on Ger
man and Austrian ports to permit
the free flow of cotton into those
countries, and the increase as early
as possible of American shipping ia
cilities to transport cotton to the for
eign markets.
4. Enactment by congress of legis-
lation that will prohibit speculative
short selling of cotton, and of legis-
lation that will compel the delivery
of grades specified in future con-
tracts.
To the end that the cotton acre
age of Georgia shall be drastically
curtailed in 1919, the conference ur-
gently recommended the formation in
every county in the state of strong
committee of influential citizens, in
Guiding farmers, merchants and bank
ers, who will thoroughly canvass the
farmers in every militia district in
their respective counties, making it
their particular business to hold down
cotton acreage in just the same way
that Liberty Bond committees made
it their particular business to sell gov
eminent securities to finance the war.

A Bit Spoiled


courage am sorry that I cannot
make you feel better by saying that you
were right in the matter of the hand
kerchief; and your subsequent behavior
was not at all what it should have been.
II you knew this boy so well that h,
was in the habit Of dining Mt your
home every day. It seems rather silly
II he wanted to tease you by keeping
your handkerchief, to refuse to speak
to him and to behave in the spoiled
way you did. Forgive me. dear. but
you have acted just like a spoiled baby
Of course, it was silly for him Ia
keep the handkerchief If you did not
want him to. but II was even sillier
under the circumstances, for you ia
take such grave offense and to think
that he does not care for you because
of the happening.
You had better swallow your pride
and write him little note, saying
that you are sorry that you were so
childish. that you really had not wanted
him to keep the handkerchief, but you
realize that you carried things entirely
too far and that you hope he will come
to see you and forget the occurrence
that you have both been too good friends
for too long time to let n silly thing
like this quarrel break the friendship
up. Then wait to hear from him, and
If he does not respond in the same spirit
let the matter drop. II he is nice
about it and comes to see you and
wants to talk about 1t all, do so don t
be stiff. But do not ask for the hand
kerchief again.

SENSITIVE GIRLS LOSE
.. OUT IN VACATION TIME
Careree Summer Folk Refuse to Be Careful of Any Ones
Feelings No Matter Ho,O Delicate, and There You Arc

TNHE Sensitive Girl has just finished
l. the first week Of her vacation at our
very nice blue lake and am not sure.
but think she has had a miserable
time. The trouble is she is like all sen
sitive people; she imagines everybody
up here hasn't an earthly thing to do but
hurt her feelings. Well, that IL a rather
brutal way of putting II, admit, be-
Cause the Sensitive Girl Is least Of all
things In the world conceited, but judg-
ing from outside appearances. that really
does seem to exactly size up the stu :
alton.
Now take this, for instance. The Sen :
sitive Girl arrived at II o'clock In
station except the little flivvcr from
the cottage and the driver with the mes :
sac that every one was bathing AMI for
her to come right over and the girls
would run up from the lake and see her
at the cottage. Now every one knows
II o'clock on sunny morning Is the
witching hour for bathers, and when
a body only has two weeks of playtime
out Of whole long year, a sunny morn
ing cannot be recklessly dealt with. But
do you think the Sensitive Girl looked
at the lonesome station platform in that
light? Indeed she didn't, She was hurt
to the quick because there was no one
there to meet her at the station. She
didn't say anything about it. of course
but every one could tell something was
the matter. So you can see how hel
whole vacation started under dark
cloud.
Two days later she was among thost
present in the water when the IL O'Clock
train steamed into the lonely little
wooden station and another girl from
another crowd happened to be on thu
train. She. too. was unmet as 1t were
But good gracious! how that girl die

body" she was calling from the fiivve'
as it rounded the turn. "How's thu
water today? Don't use ii all. Saw,
some for me. And keep the crowd back
I've got new bathing suit.' Pensivel,
suspended on ones waterwings a bod,
couldn't help wondering II the Senti
tive Girl noticed the difference and woult
tuck away the little lesson.

7 WISH could make my story end
L nicely and say she did profit by Il,
but the truth Of II Is she didn't. II
you know the Sensitive Girl I don't
have to tell you the rest. There have
been dances with not enough Of men to
80 around. and there has been a woe
ful little figure In pretty pink organ
die sitting half the evening in the dress
ing room. THE boys don't like to-
dance with me-" she confdes. "I don't
know what have ever done to any Of
them" The real situation Is some
thing like this: II the Sensitive Girl
happens to be partnerless for Just one
dance she will run away and hide for
fve. Now, how under the sun can
any one be nice to some one when she's
nowhere in sightl
There have been picnics, bathing par
ties and any number Of other occasions
when feelings have been similarly
strained.
or course, a person feels very sorry
for the Sensitive Girl because, well,
she is so understandable. Most of Us
have been there ourselves and know.
But just being sorry for her never helps.
Some one just has to let her know by
fair means or foul that being sensitive
does nothing In the world but lose
friends for body, and that delicate
feelings must be simply whipped and
whipped into shape until they can stand
ordinary wear. Then you really begin
to enjoy life. Isn't 1t so, those who
have been sensitive and gotten over Il?

And So They
We're Married

START THIS STORY TODAY

ENLSIB CARSTAIRS, one Of the girls
~ in the old crowd of which Ruth
used to be one Of the gayest, was going
to be married. Ruth had not seen very
much of her of late. the interests Of
the two girls were different. But Ruth
still thought of Elsie as one Of her old
friends. She had been among the crowd
at the bridge which Ruth had given
long ago to announce her engagement to
Jack Bond, and IL Ruth had known II
Elsie had been one Of the women who
had thoroughly envied Ruth her luck.
Ruth's small triumph at that time
had consisted of ruby engagement ring
that had been the talk Of every one.
Every one had realized that she had
captured the most eligible man Of the
crowd. To be sure people liked Scott
equally well, but he was not eligible.
His family were nice. but had no
money. Scott himself was making a
small salary. He was no great catch
for any one, and although Ruth's own
ideas had changed. and although she
had eventually married Scott, IL had not
been n marriage that any one exactly
envied.
Elsie Carstairs was one Of the girls
whom the war had not awakened to
any extent. She had dabblcd fashion
ably in the workrooms where bandages
were rolled, she had eventually Joined
the motor corps on account OF the
stunning uniforms. She had exclaimed
once or twice about the length Of the
casualty lists. and then at the end OF
the war she had promptly forgotten all
about everything in her relief that she
needn't feel guilty about having a good
time. Her horizon was bounded by men
with money, good times, fashionable
clothes and the right people.
Her engagement had been announced
informally, but it was expected that the

wedding would be one Of the affairs OF
the season, and although Ruth dreaded
the idea of making a handsome present
Just at this time, she clung to that we'd
ding MS something that held her to the
old life.
The Carstairs had big stone house
on one of the side streets of Fifth
avenue. In her mothers sitting room
one morning Elsie sat at the Louis
NV desk addressing invitations. Her
mother lay back in large chair
relaxing under the clever manipula tions
OF the masseuse who was endeavoring to
modify double chin and to relieve
sagging cheek muscles effectively.
Every few minutes as the woman re-
lieved her temporarily from the con =
finement of steaming hot cloths she
would exchange desultory remarks with
! her daughter.
Elsie wheeled around in her chair
suddenly to ask a question.
We've forgotten some one on the
list"
who's that?"
Ruth Rowland and her husband"
WELL" remarked Mrs. Carstairs
slowly, what about it?"
II always liked Ruth" Elsie brought
out slowly.
''But you don't see anything of her
any more; have you ever called on her
since her marriage?'
'Oncc, and oh mother, she lives In
the cheapest little fiat and does her own
work. OF course" Elsie had the grace
to blush here, 1--WE oughtn't to judge
Ruth on that score"
"Of course not, but the point is this.
II you two girls have nothing in com
mon, II Ruth cannot afford to do the
things that you do and II you don't 20
to the same places, you'll have still less
in common after you are married."
Elsie was improving her finances very
much with her marriage. She was
marrying n man quite a little older
than she was, man with rather an
unsavory reputation to his credit
which Mrs. Carstairs refused to believe
Elsie didn't care very much. She had
the typical modern idea of marriage
love did not enter into it at all. And
30 she was bound to agree with what
her mother said.
That was how 1t happened that Ruth
and Scott were not invited to the wed
ding, and a couple of days later when
Ruth met Natalie Bond downtown, and
Natalie asked gaily what she was goine
to wear to the wedding, Ruth flushed
consciously, and Natalie saw that some
thing was wrong.
"Elsie Carstairs's wedding" she OK
planned quickly. sure that there was
some mistake. Why Elsie Carstairs hat
been Mt Ruth's engagement party. "Th'
invitations were out yesterday"
~ wasn't invited"
but that's absurd, Ruth, there mus
be a mistake
"No. I don't think 30. You see m,
