WHITE FOR FALL is
DECREE FOR FASHION
You Need Not Pack Away All Light
Things With the Passing
OF Summer.

1t won't be necessary this year to
pack away all light things with the
"last day of summer" Fashion says
"wear 'em right along" so in du-
vetyn and serge for street and flan-
mel and knitted materials for sports
there is a host of new tailored suits
that are as smart as ever they can
be.
Here are two that illustrate the
good word: Ball buttons, self-cov-
cred, and an inset band of bright
red silk and white silk braid trim
the one, while the other has only
brown bone buttons and narrow
brown leather belt to embellish it.
While white shoes and hosiery will
be worn with these white suits they
are not compulsory. A brown hat
fur piece and brown footgear, or, IN
place of white, other colors such as
gray or fawn and the soft blues and
flesh tones are equally as effective,
with dark accessories perhaps even
more so.

FARMERS FACE A
SHORTAGE OF PICKERS
MUCH COTTON WILL DETERIOR-
ATE FROM REMAINING IN
THE FIELDS TOO LONG.

The farmers of this section have
found themselves in a desperate
condition at the beginning of the
season because of their inability to
obtain cotton pickers. They report
that twice as many pickers can be
used during the next few weeks as
can be obtained, and that thousands
of acres cannot be touched for some
time. This means deterioration of
cotton in the fields.
The shortage of labor is due to
the migration of negro farm hands
to the north and east, whence
they went in search of higher wages,
and the abandonment of the farms
by young white men who are obtain
ing higher wages in the industries of
the cities and towns.
Prices paid for picking have adj
vanced two hundred per cent during
the past three years, and may even
go higher. Three years ago the stand
ard price for picking was fifty cents
hundred pounds, and now with the
price doubled there are no volunteers
for the work. Ginning charges are
higher, and Southwest Georgia farm
ers are finding that the cost of pro-
ducing this years crop will be far
greater than last year.

CLINIC TO Be HELD
HERE NEXT WEEK
GratiOt County Good Health
Society Has Arranged For One
To BE Held at City Hall.

Plans and arrangements for the
clinic to be held at the city hall from
Monday, September 13, until Satur-
day, September Is, inclusive, have
been completed, and there is every
indication that the forthcoming clinic
Will meet with greater degree of
success even, than the well attended
ones that have previously been held
IN Alma. 1t is being backed by the
Gratiot County Good Health Society.
DR.. Rose and DR.. Ramsey will be
IN charge Of the clinic, which will
give special attention to tuberculosis
and to child hygiene, and there is
every prospect that if the public gen
orally will take advantage of the op-
portunity that is being presented to
it.
The clinic will give special atten-
ton to returned soldiers and to those
who suffered from influenza. as num-
erous soldiers have been found to be
afflicted with tuberculosis, and be-
cause it is a disease that frequently
follows influenza. The clinic is par
ticularly desirous of having such peo-
pie attend and be examined. Child
ren, who are backward in school, or
who are seemingly defective in some
way, are also desired at the clinic.
and parents are urged to attend with
them.
The clinics will be open from 900
a m. until 1900 noon and from 100
p. m. until 500 p. m. each day dur
ing the week, on the second floor of
the city hall. The public is requested
to use the Gratiot entrance.
Those in charge of the clinic urge
that those who desire to attend to
do so as early in the week as possible.
so that the clinic may not be rushed
too much during the latter part OF
the week, as has been the case with
some of the former clinics that have
been held here.
This clinic is to be followed by a
permanent general clinic it is under
stood, which will meet each Wednes-
day.
