CUT COTTON COST

Atlanta, Georgia. -(Special) THE

Same old story, the same thing that

Hastings, President of the Georgia
Association, an organization for state
wide development
I'VE might just as well face the
fact that with the world wide finan.
cial and political mix-up in Europe
following the world war, there is no
possible chance for using normal
quantities of cotton at profitable prices
to us If we continue to grow cotton
on the high cost basis that we have
been doing.
Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time Of war prices is
over and the problem from now on Is
to lower cost OF productions and at the
same time afford the cotton grower a,
fair profit.
Cost OF making cotton Is primarily
the cost OF food, grain and forage
for the farmer, his family. his labor.
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot
I ton costs from one-third to one-half
"Plant for an abundance Of food,

cotton win not hurt so much. We can
not, with European countries so thor

Miss Lund said that about fifty per

pursuing the recommended course, and.
about twenty per cent Of the other High
school classes. She attributed the low

WILL VOTE ON ADJUSTED
COMPENSATION MEASURE
Ex-service Men to Have Opportunity to
Express Views on Much Talked
Of Legislation Saturday.

The white ex-service men of Lincoln
County will meet at the Legion Home
in Brookhaven Saturday, February 18th
at ten o'clock for the purpose of voting
their sentiments of the proposed ad-
justed compensation act
John Edwards Post No. 12. the Amer
lean Legion, of Brookhaven, has receiv-
ed from department headquarters ,the
American Legion a quantity of ballots
that are to be used in securing the ex-
act views of the ex-service men of this
territory on the much talked about ad-
justed compensation bill. 1t is a known
fact that congress does not know what
the men are likely to take if the bill
passes, and it is this fact alone that is
holding up the passage of the bill more
than any other thing.
Ex-service men whether members of
the Legion or not should not miss this
great opportunity to express their SEN
timents of the bill, either for or against
it.
The Legion has been putting up a
hard fight in behalf of the bill and
should have the support of every ex-
service man of this county that is for
it. However, if an ex-service man is
against the bill he should express this
idea about it at the meeting as the mat
ter is not a one-sided affair, some are
for the bill and some are against it.
Every post in the state will hold a
meeting either on the 18th, 18th, 18th
or 18th of this month and it is predict
ed that at least thirty thousand ballots
will be cast. The data will then be
compiled and the result wired to Wash
ington.
The bill as it stands today contains
five plans, however, the ex-service man
will only be allowed to participate in
one plan. The bill will be fully ex-
planned at the meeting and the men
will be able to make their probable
choice.
Mr.. Armstrong, who is an ex-service
man, will be the main speaker at the
meeting and will give those present a
clear explanation of the bill.

tertained twelve High School Seniors at
a Valentine Party The pretty home
was besrrung with hearts; red carna-

prizes plenty for bright wits to win in
each of the contests. But shooting Gu
pid's arrow at large heart was the
most exciting game of all. The dining
table was a picture and valentines were
the place cards. A pertinent rhyme on
the back of each valentine showed
plainly that some little bird had been

The League Of Women voters

The League of Women Voters will
entertain the members Of the Kiwanis
Club and their wives Thursday night
Feb. 2srd. at O'Clock in the sub-story
of the Methodist Church.
The members of the League are priv
ileged> also to invite their husbands, es-
pecially so when husband is. not a
member of the Kiwanis Club and
therefore already an invited guest.
There Is one request which the Re-
freshment Committee is asking of the
members of the League, and that is to
phone Mrs. w. D. Davis or Mrs. crutch-
field, before noon Tuesday, Feb. 21st,
whether she and her husband will be
present at the entertainment. The
Methodist ladies are taking charge of
the preparation of refreshments. and
only the number of plates indicated by
Mrs. Davis win be prepared.
The League is asking the same Of
the Kiwanis members, so 1t is only
right that our own members should
teIp the committee in the same way.
Thanking you for this cooperation.

sell for IA or is thousand dollars. and
that a committee had gone to New Or
