TABLE DECORATIONS
BY EBEN e. RExFORD.

fancy some readers saying we can
not all have flowers for the table.
Greenhouses are not to be found in
every little village. Even if they
we're, many of US could not afford to
purchase from them except on very
extra occasions.
True, but why not grow your own
plants? Then you will be indeed in
dependent of the florist to consider
able extent.
Most women have plants in the win
dows, but the majority are not adapt
ed to table use.
The table plant for this purpose. all
things considered, is the asparagus
,plumosus. 1t has foliage much daintier
than that of any fern.
1t can easily be made to grow in the
;bushy compact form which plant de-
signed for use on the table should

This is done by pinching of the

thrust in among it's fronds will furnish

carnations, narcissus, asttlbe, stevia
all these and many more can be used
with it with most charming effect.
Have three or four plants of it and
you will have but little use for the
florist. They will be quite as attrac-
tive in the window as any other plants
that can be grown there, therefore
they will serve double purpose.
Give this asparagus a soil Of garden

every occasion.
Deep yoke effects will be seen in the
new fur coats.
The hem of the smart frock Is by no
means regular.
Light frocks are scattered with gay

WANTS TO BUY.
GEORGIA VANS.
BY The CARLOAD

A hint of what is to come for the
South-the South which has never
been known to the people of the
North, but with which they are just
beginning to become acquainted
is contained in a letter received by
Postmaster Davenport and turned
over by him to the Times Recorder
because of its interest to the farm
ers of Sumter county.
The letter is from a former SOL
dier at Camp Gordon, whose home is
at Sioux City, Ia. While in Georgia
this soldier discovered" the yam,
something of which the north is al
most totally ignorant and which can
not be produced north of the Mason
and Dixon line. This ex-soldier wants
to buy Georgia sweet potatoes by
the carload, and is seeking connec-
ton with some one who can furnish
him with them in large quantities to
market in the North. Following is his
letter, which any farmer who is inter-
ested may answer, probably to his
own profit and to the further de-
velopment of the resources of Sum-
ter county:
Sioux City, Iowa, July s, 1919.
Postmaster, Americas, Ga, Dear
Sir; am writing you for informa-
ton. | wish to obtain the names
of several men who handle sweet
potatoes, either some farmer who
has a large acreage or some man
who handles them wholesale and
who could furnish us with several
carloads if necessary. | wish to OBJ
tain prices, manner of shipment,
when they could ship and all the
information can obtain along
that line. / wish to ship several
carloads to our market and am in
the market now for prices, etc, for
the sweet potatoes. | spent six
months in Camp Gordon, Atlanta,
Georgia, recently and learned to
enjcy the sweet potato.
Any information or addresses of
men who can furnish me with
sweet potatoes in carload lots will
be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,

POINT PETERS MAY BE
MADE WAREHOUSE SITE

ATLANTA, July 12-Georgia far
mers will be given warehousing priv
ileges, placing their cotton on direct
steamship lines from New York to
South American ports, if congress
favors resolution which has been
introduced in the Georgia senate.
The resolution requests that con-
gress should cede 720 acres of land
held at Point Peters to the state. The
land, intended as a possible site for
a military reservation, is declared to
be located admirably for the ware
housing purpose.
If the move is successful, it is in
tended that only the actual cost of
operation shall be charged growers
housing their product there. This
would greatly benefit the raisers, it
is declared through considerable re-
duction in warehousing cost that
would follow.

GRIFFITH PICTURE COMING
How many persons do you know
who tried to evade the draft? What
excuses did they make? How much
influence did they have? The ques-
ton is not by any means as popu-
lar as it once was, but when David
Wark Griffith's new Aircraft produc-
ton, "The Girl who Stayed at
Home" is shown at the Alcazar the
ater Monday many spectators will
recall instances that may not be far
different from the picture itself
The boy was the son Of man who
owned a string of shipyards, but
when his card came through Uncle
Sans mill It was found that he
wasn't any larger, any wiser or any
better than the son Of the poorest
Iaborer the shipyard owner employed.
Despite the fact that the son was
placed at work in the shipyard at a

to drilling about eight and one-half
hours the preceding day. After some
DAYS of torture he learned not to
