time (and space) to describe every

that is a wonder.
A gray swiss dotted with white and

tinctive model. A brown one was
trimmed in Irish lace.
The organdie dresses are pretty as
can be. There are the most unusual

colored dots, and the fashionable red.

RAINY WEATHER sometimes re-
acts on the human temperament. I
wondered as started out yesterday in
the morning drizzIe if, when reached
my first calling place of the day, I'd
find that the clouds had percoIated.
Not so. Jones & Birch were as cheer
full and pleasant as ever.
I really do think, tho, that Mr..
Jones smile was a bit wider than his
partners, and 1 soon learned the rea-
son. 1t seems that Mr.. Birch had
planned to play golf in the afternoon
with Billy Anderson and the rain can
celled the engag cement. Whether Mr..
Jones was just pleased because he was
not to be deprived of Mr. Birch's good
company, or because he likes to see
his friend at work, really don't know.
Anyway-whoever it is that does the
work, the results of printing and en-
craving orders are most satisfa Glory,
both in quality and prompt service.
DID you ever hear the story of the
man whose wife had suggested for sew
eBal days that he battle the family car
1t was hot summer afternoon when
this man came home early from the
office. Noticing the dusty car in front
of his house, he decided that it was in
truth needful of the cleansing sponge
and waters--so he got busy.
Just after he finished his work-a
thoro and painstaking sob it was, toe
and was returning to the garage
with bucket, hose. etc, he saw his
wife's caller come out of the house
step into her car and drive away, two
dollars. or whatever the fee is for
washing cars, to the good.

TOURING Thomas of Topeka is
thoroly pleased with the situation.
Every year for five years he has taken
his vacation overland trips and en-
joyed it enough each time to do it
again, but this trip is the best yet, be-
cause he is perfectly comfortable.
Before he left Topeka last week, he
went to the Topeka Tent & Awning
Company and invested in numerous
camping devices, and wondered why
he hadn't done it before.
Storm clouds threatened and Tom
chuckled when he saw that there
wasn't a house for miles around. He
drove to the top of the hill, set up his
tent in eight minutes and then in a
few more sat at the door of his COM
Portable rainproof home and smiled
as the precipitation began to precipi-
tate.
"'Y gollies," says Tom, Its going
to be right snug evenin' I'll fry my
bacon and eggs and boil a pot of
coffee on my good little gasoline stove,
read a bit by the electric lantern, and
sleep snug on a comfortable bed. All
this comfort I owe to that Topeka

CANE QUARANT| NE
HAS BEEN MODIFIED

| CAIRO, Ga, Oct. 7.-Contrary to
reports which were circulated from
Moultrie few weeks ago, the state
nounced that the regulations which
| it put in force in the cane belt last
season to eradicate as nearly as pos
sible the Mosaic disease would be
| in force again this year, but in
stead, members of the board will
bring the matter directly before tho
cane growers, and plan will be
| worked out whereby the disease can
| be combated.
Noting that the regulations as an
uounced from Moultrie dbl not con-
tain important notifications already
made this year, and remembering
| that J. J. Brown had informed him
| that members of the board would
| meet with the growers, John r.
| Singletary, representative from this
county, wrote to Mr.. Brown and
| asked him if the Moultrie reports
were truea
Mr.. Singletary has just received
| a. reply from Mr.. Brown, stating in
part:
The state board Of Entomology
has not given out any information or
| instructions relative to any quaran-
tine on the planting of cane whatever
this season. The mattereis standing
where we left it when the board
met in conference with your fellow
citizens at Cairo last February 1. 1
noticed the news item to which you
| refer, and have been unable to find
out who took the authority to give
out this information. The board will
possibly hold a meeting in one or two
points in south and southwest Geor-
! CrI hnf hi "a
October, and I assure you that be-
fore we take any action. the sugges-
tions contained in your letter rela-
tive to meeting the people of the
game belt at Cairo will be adhered
to-"
IT feel that the best way to ham
die this is to have real under
interested, directly, ana reach an
agreement as to the best plans of
handling this Mosaic disease. I hope
you will say to the people of Grady
and adjoining counties that it will
be the policy of the state board of
entomology to cooperate with them
in every way possible to the end that
Whatever plans may be adopted by
the board will meet with the hearty
approval of the people themselves,
thereby insuring the best results"
| The regulations as put in force by
the board last year were considered
very drastic. especially to the in
fected areas of this and adjoining
counties. They also dealt with
transporting seed cane from all
counties of the cane belt.
| Since the growers at this time
are figuring on their seed cane for
next season, the announcement from
Moultrie that the old regulations
would remain in force has caused
considerable confusion.

Sumter County Asks
More Highway Money

AMERICUS. Ga. Oct. 6.-The state
highway commission will be asked
Immediately to appropriate $6s,50O
additional federal aid funds for use
in Sumter county. This was decided
Monday by the board of county COM
missioners by recommendation of w.
G. Cage, Jr., district highway en-
gineer. The money, if appropriated,
will be used in the construction of a
seven-mile project on the Atlanta
Americas short line.
The project will begin at the Cen
trail of Georgia railroad and extend
out the MISUNDERSTANDING highway,
bituminous asphalt being used as the
hard surfacing material. Sumter is
now completing it's second permanent
roads project, with only about two
weeks work necessary to finally fin
ish the job. It is proposed, however,
to have the county road forces devote
their time between now and January
to repairing dirt roads, and on that
date highway construction will be re-
Sumed.
