DIRECTOIRE FOR YOU!


The White HOUSE in almost ev-
cry administration has influenced
styles in America-far more than
the Rue de la Paix or Paris or
Bond street of London. Mrs.
Harding, wife of the president
elect, goes to Fifth avenue for her
fashions. Her fancies? They lean
toward the directoire ssiIhoutte,
low necks, long and tightly fitted
sleeves, skirts narrow with ample
walking room; nothing fussy, but
rich and refined. Her approval of
ahe directoire stamps it as "the
thing" not only for Washington,
but for every city, town and ham
let in America. Now that it's de-
cided, madam, your husband may
step up with the president-elect
and pay the bill.

SYRUP PLANT
TO FITZGERALD
Sweet Potato Expert
ments Work To Be
Conducted There

The governments experimental
sweet potato plant, which Americas
hoped to be able to secure, will be
located in Fitzgerald. Notification
to this efefct has just been received
by J. Ralston CargilI, of Americas,
who was responsible for the bringing
of three government experts here &
short time ago to inspect the ad-
vantages offered by Americas for
location of the experimental plant II
was he, also, who offered the gov
eminent free of charge building
and steam from his own syrup plant
nearby.
1t is understood that Americas
was preferable to the experts from
many standpoints, but that facilities
found at Fitzgerald were considered
superior to those elsewhere. These
included potato curing house and
a potato canning plant already in
operation.
Mr.. Cargill has received letters
from DR.. c. L. Alsberg, chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, and from D.
]. Price, engineer in charge of the
development work, the latter of
whom was one of the three experts
who visited Americas on this inspec-
ton trip, both of which explain
themselves. They follow:

gratifying and indicates the impor-

South. They were we'll received at
every point and the bureau has been
invited to accept a number of loca-
tons which are generally satisfac,
tory.
Sowing to lack of funds, however,
it has been necessary for us to de-
eide upon a point where the equip
ment can be installed at the least ex-
pense and a production basis reached
as early as possible. After careful
consideration we feel that these IA
cilities are best afforded at Fitz-
gerald, Georgia, and we have decid-
ed to undertake the experimental
work at that point.
1--WE assure you, however, that the
results of the tests will be consider
ed entirely as official department
data and not be available for the pub
until the tests are completed. At
that time we hope to make the infor-
nation available to any parties in
terested in the commercialization of
the process.

to again express my personal appre-
