I in the world
 Particularly on her." said Charles F. Wood, brilliant vice president ot the local Warrant corporation, will depend in considerable degree the beneficial results accruing to our people in Alabama who own cotton ana have 1t exported and manufac- turned under our company's supervis- ion. For that reason Miss Galkln was brought down to Alabama to get acquainted, to familiarize herself with the states cotton conditions and to know the people concerned and to see how the operations at this end of the business are carried on."
 What Toll System Means
 For be it known that the Warrant corporation. which is using the cot ton toll plan is doing great good with it's new method of marketing. The southern farmer taeks his cotton to this corporation. It accepts it in the form of trust, ships 1t to foreign mills. makes arrangements for it's eslling in the markets of the world, and when the complete transaction Is finished pays the farmer his money, received from the cloth. For its ser vice the company charges small commission and has been paying far mers from g to 2S cents per pound.
 The president of the company is man who loves the south and who is one of the most successful busi- ness men anywhere He is Samuel c. Dobbs, famous as the wizard who put one of the largest soft drink companies on the map. since he framed and planned and put across all their advertising.
 IL. N.11 ,,tx A helpful to growers, was devised in order, MT. Dobbs explained. to meet the fact that after the war our in- ternational system of finance was wrecked. It is nothing more than the elaboration of the old fashioned grist mill that ground a mans corn upon fixed percentage paid in corn.
 The three main officers of the company are Mir. Dobbs. who Is presi- dent, Charles F. Wood, vice president, and William B. Nesbitt, secretary treasurer H. K. Miner is prominent among it's stockholders.
 Much Entertained
 While Miss Galkin has been here, she has been elaborately entertained. She was given an idea of the town by being taken two or three times to the top of Red mountain. out to the Ensley Sleel HllIS, ana other points of interest in the section.
 It was a delight to meet her and a group of Is to 20 of the officers. stockholders and employees of the company and friends who were pres ent at the pretty banquet, and who were entertained following its merry moments at a theatre party.
 Miss Galkin fell quite in love with Birmingham.
 Next to New York which Is my home, it has made the finest impress sion upon me of any town I know. You have so much actual coal and iron and minerals to base city upon There is nothing ephemerl about your prospects,"
 Miss Galkin has been Worthy Ma tron of the Order of the Eastern Star Is a past chief of the Pythian Sis ters, member of the Woman's Cham Der of Commerce of New York and of the Woman's National Army. She served in war work for four years and was trained in many branches of service. These included ambu- lance driving, nursing. auditing, sig nal corps work. She has been a gen. eral statistician for Uncle Sam and is an accountant.

Miss Galkin, wearing q lovely din- ner gown of blue crepe de chine and a big hat trimmed with dainty em- Droidered open-work flowers, look ec very lovely at the special dinner party given in her honor by the War rant Export and Discount corpora tion the other night. But'I could not help but see her, in fancy, busy as everything over piles and piles of cot ton samples, her bright eyes putting into their right heaps those good bad indifferent or perfect specimens like q child would sort out a box ot nails.
 Miss Galkin came heres as the es- peeial guest of the Export company and is expected to be of inestimable service to Alabama and the south since the returns from cotton to Ala bama farmers depends, in a large measure. upon the skill and intelli gence put into the design from which the spinning and weaving Is carri ed out. She has much to do with this.
 For. mind you, Miss Galkin is the big assistant to Victor E. Freeman designer and head of the technical Freeman Sumner organization which determines what kind of cloth shall be made from different grades of cot ton which we ship from Alabama Miss Gallin, therefore has to deter mine the color of such cloth, the number of threads to the inch, the weight it shall be.
 As all these questions are affect ed by style and climate, as well as season and other factors which enter into the dry goods trade, one can readily see how much skill it takes that it requires a wise head to solve them and how Miss Galkin's decision means loss or gain.
 Summed Up
 Here's the thing in nut shell:
 She is woman. She knows what women think is nice-or cute--or ef- fective.
 She, therefore. brings to the trade the feminine touch and the womans viewpoint These she lays before MT Freeman,
 Very frequently it is her intuition and the feminine Idea of textiles which constitutes the deciding fac. tor in choosing a winning design"
 For instance. we all know there are certain cloths that hit the market and go like wildfire. Someone ha: thought of that cloth. its style, tex sure and color, months before. The shirt trade or garment makers wll pay fancy prices to get novelties oi popular things. Miss Galkin has tt be one of these reasoners and guess CTS as to what will take" as wei as what women particularly vii spend money to buy.
 The shirt makers and dressmakers are always very eager to get differ ent1 things, especially designs thai will appeal strongly to their trade. Must See Months Ahead After the cotton is shipped, it takei six or seven months, to manufacture the cloth As the work involves alst wide knowledge of the differen markets of the whole world. vol could guess that Miss Galkin mus put about 20 horsepower of intellig' ence. skill and experience into hei work
 | Her job would just about flabber' aast the average human toiler. | But listen to other little deails: All Miss Galkin will have to do IT the future will be to go to Londor l to make it her home. where she wil spend every working moment keeping in intimate touch with the Liverpoo and Manchester cloth exchanges

Excursion Down River
fostponed-Cold Weather
Influences Decision

At meeting of the State House
force in the Hall of the House of
Representatives., Thursday noon,
many were surprised and regretfully
received the announcement that the
excursion to Popham. planned for
Saturday had been called off.
Though over three hundred had
sisnlfied their intention of being
with the party as planned. It was
reported by those in charge that this
number was not sufficient to guar
antee the expenses of the steamer. 1t
was originally hoped that some six
hundred would make the trip down
the river, but the cold weather of this
week seems to have influenced MANY
in their decision not TO go.
There were many enthusiasts. who
were willing that the nominal fee
originally announced. be doubled.
but after some discussion It was
voted to postpone the matter indef-
nitely. There are, however, many
who would like to see something
along the original plan carried out.
and it may come about that a smaller
independent group will yet make the
excursion to old Popham.
