Calico Dresses

Calico is quite fashionable It is es-
peciaIly good for. all usage out of large
cities. Gowns OF it are offered by the
exclusive dressmakers at staggering
prices. and it is also made at home over
a good pattern for small sum of money.
1t is not easy to get genuine calico, but
there are several other cottons that look
like it and which answer the purpose.
The new Importation of English prints
has been received with enthusiasm.
BY the way. do you know that calico
was a novelty fabric. brought 10 England
from Calicut, India. in the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth. at the time when the
whole world was searched for gorgeous
fabrics and gems that would contribute
to the stiff artificial clothes worn in
Europe and accentuated by the rcd
haired ruler of Great Britain.
The southerners feel that calico Is
their own special contribution to fem
inine apparel. and for the last century it
is probably true that the southern cot
ton mills have provided it ID greater
quantities than elsewhere, for they have
tho secret of the designs and the wonder
ful coloring. 1t once sold for 10 and l.
cents a yard over southern counters. but
now it is difficult to get at many times
this price. Its feature is its brilliant
coloring. and its Indian designs. Few
people outside of the southern states
really know what the fabric is. In New
York. for instance. they call white cam
brio and blue cotton by the name of cal
leo. which is as erroneous as calling cot
ton voile by the name of chiffon or sa-
teen by the name of charmeuse.

EDITOR PREDICTS
DROP IN PRICES
Of FARM PRODUCTS

A quick depression in agricultural
prices as the result of ''profiteer-
ing" in foreign exchange was pre-
dicted by DR.. TAFT Butler, president
of the Association of Agricultural
Workers in his annual address at
the opening of the twenty-first con-
vention of this organization at the
Piedmont hotel in Atlanta recently.
DR.. Butler, who is editor of the
Progressive Farmer, of Memphis.
Tenn, characterized profiteering in
foreign exchange as the most dam
nable form of profiteering INDUCED
in since the war
Indications at this time" said
DR.. Butler, "foreshadow more def
nitely than ever before in the history
of the country a quick depression in
the prices of farm products. The
present profiteering in foreign eX-
change is the most serious and the
most damnable form of profiteering
INDUCED in since the war. 1t is do
ing more to disrupt the normal prog
resS of agriculture in this country
than anything else at this time. Cot
ton is not NOV because of the low
foreign exchange, and it is the same
with other products. Europe will
not pay the price with the present
deprecated currency"
Was Principal Speaker
DR.. Butler was the principal speak
err of the contention, and his
address followed short addresses
of welcome made by Peter V. Rice,
assistant state commissioner of agri-
culture, and Mayor James L. Key,
who offered the hospitality of the
city to the agricultural workers.
Concise discussions of community
organizations were presented to the
meeting in a paper from DR.. Brad
ford Knapp, director of the expert
ment work in Arkansas, and in all
address by w. G. Eckard, of DeKalb
county, Illinois. The paper of Dr.
Knapp, who could not be present at
the convention, was read by w. c.

FURTHER PROTESTS
AGAINST ACTION Of
COMMITTEE VOICED

The volume of protests provoked
by the attempt of a handful of state
Democratic executive committeeman
to keep Herbert Hoovers name off
the ballot in the Democratic prefer
entail primary shows no sign of
abatement. The press and public
are thoroughly aroused over the au-
tocratic action, which the Savannah
Press believes makes the Democracy
Of the state committee as much of an
issue as the democracy Of Mr..
Hoover.
Lon j. Mcconnell, a Democratic
war horse of the Eighth congress
slona1 district, and one of the most
active and influential citizens Of
Franklin county. Wednesday morn
ing joined the protestants against
the action of the subcommittee. Than
Mr.. Mcconnell there are few Demo
Gratis in the state better qualified
to speak. He has served as chair
man of the Franklin county Demo,
cratic executive committee on many
occasions, and has been a member
of the state Democratic executive
committee at different times.
Mr.. Mcconnell says he knows what
Mr.. Hoover stands for and knows,
moreover, that if he wins the Demo
cratic nomina ton his views will be
reflected inevitably in the Democra t
ic national platform, upon which tbs
party will go before the people.
The Franklin county leader remarks
that the state committee will not,
for an instant, consider keeping the
name of Senator Reed, Of Missouri
off the Democratic ballot, if his petit
ton is filed, although Senator Reed
votes with the Republicans more Oft
EN- than with the Democrats.
Mr.. McConnell's Question
Mr.. Mcconnell asks:
"shal1 thousands of US Georgia
Democrats who do not accept Mr.
Reeds brand of Democracy consent
for his name to go on the party
ticket, and at the same time consent
for Mr.. Hoover's name-whose brand
of democracy we do believe into

and insists that Mr.. Hoover's name

right of the Democrats of Georgia
| There are obviously some people il

May Use Smoke Screen
In Signalling Mars

BRYN MAWR, Pause of the
GOVERNMENTS surplus of smoke
making material left over from
the war in signalling Mars was
suggested by James J. Crenshaw,
associate professor of chemistry
at Bryn Mawr college, who
served in the chemical war
fare section of the American ex-
peditionary forces. Smoke screens,
hundreds of miles in width, he be-
lteves, would be more likely to be
discerned by possible Martiahs than
the geometrical designs which Sir
Oliver Lodge suggested be laid out
on the Sahara desert.
The government has enough
smoke-making material to create q
tremendous screen or spot on the
earth and this material can be used
for no other.
