Ponds upon knowing how to wear
clothes, for one thing. This is espe-
cially true of street dress. where few
women choose unusual or daring de-

But occasionally along comes genius

envy of her sisters, not to mention
their criticism for they are apt to call
her freaklsh and her clothes bizarre.

Columbia, May 3.-Governor
Cooper in a letter to Eddie Jankins,
chairman Of the Richland county

which he says ''impelled me to join
the american Cotton Association.

come members" eeg

our economic and social happi-

with the crop in which he Is most
interested. The business man has
an equal, though perhaps not 80
direct, interest. The business of
the South Is based upon agriculture,
and the development Of agriculture
means the development Of all other
business enterprises.
Heretofore we have proceeded in
n haphaZard manner, and we have
paid heavily for our lack OF con-
certed effort. We have not diversf-
fed our crops; we have not looked
carefully into market conditions;
we have not made any general, uni
form effort to fit production to de-
mand. The Cotton Association will
help us do these desirable things.

IN Rfchland and In all other counties
Will be highly successful"
