purchases being made possible by
credit extended by Decatur county
banks-and after the farmers had ia

local business men took the remain

among their land tenants. This is on
ly typical of the way this thing is be-
ing done here, and of the spirit back
of its doing.
On Decatur farms there are today

for the COW, hog and hen.
A year ago there were, perhaps, not
more than half a dozen milk separa-

are more than 80 of these essential
items of dairy equipment on Decatur
county farms, and the number is in
creasing day by day. That speaks tor

Harding Talked of Plans
After His Retirement
Had Offer of $4,000 a Year From a
Leading Newspaper.

WASHINGTON, D. c. When
death overlook him in San Francisco
President Harding, although appar-
emily confident of his reelection, had
begun to formulate plans against the
time when he finally should retire
from the white house. At luncheon
in a western city before he went to
Alaska he told some of his close
friends the reasons which had impell-
ed him to dispose of his control of the
Marion Star and discussed the part
he expected to take in other fields of
activity after his public service was
over AS the story was told here to-
day by those who took part in the
conversation, Mr.. Harding said that
in all probability he would accept an
offer of $4,000 year made by one
of the leading newspapers OF the
country for editorial contributions.
This, he said, would give him much
desired opportunity of getting his
views before the people and assisting
in solving national and international
problems. He had received, he added,
an offer of $3.50 for each speech he
might deliver after the expiration OF
his term as president.
These two offers had caused him
to feel that he would be able after
leaving the white house to give little
personal attention to the editorial
management of the Star.

Prosperity Follows the Rotation Of Crops

was under that of previous years; and
the losses sustained as a result of the
cotton failure were largely compen-
stated by the increased acreages and
abundant yields of such crops as peas,
velvet and soy beans, corn, peanuts,
sweet potatoes, sorghum, cane, oats
and various other feed and food crops,
and of the various pasture grasses,
chief among which-and to which the
soil and climate of this locality are
peculiarly adapted-are carpet grass,
lespedeza clover, napier grass and cat
tail millet.
These undoubtedly, and not cotton
are destined to bring about the agri-
cultural reconstruction of this and the
other south Georgia farming commu-
mites.
PERMANENT PASTURES.
Each of these dairy farmers produce
on their land practically every pound
of feed their cows consume, and is
developing a permanent pasture.
Each is fast getting free from the
milestone of the former never ending
cycle of indebtedness incident to the
cultivation of all cotton; has hope,
confidence in the country, good will
toward his fellow men and is happy
in the realization that at last he is
getting somewhere"
There is absolutely no question
about the wisdom, practicability and
efficacy of the cooperative cow, hog
and hen and cooperative marketing
system. There is no question what
soever about its being good; but, as
DR.. Sawyer has expressed it, 1T is
simply question Of the farmers get
ting off right and practicing the sys-
tenn in the right way"
In other words, it has got to be
practiced on a basis of making the
dairy cow the paramount institution
of the farm-of putting her at the
bottom of all of the farm operations,
giving her first consideration and the
care which her finely atuned tenn
permanent" demands in order for her
to produce the highest results of which
she is capable.
She, with her allies, the hog and
hen, will do the rest.

WAlERCRESS PROVED TO
Be RICH IN FOOD VALUE
Member OF Medical Association States
That Few Are Aware of Calcries
Contained in Plant

Portsmouth, England. Sept r.
Watercress as side dish for lunch is
we'll known In most households. but
few people eating it were aware that
1t contained all the essential vita
mines. until this fact was stated by
DR., Harold Scurfeld at a medical as
sociation meeting recently He ad-
vocated more extensive Use of the
vegetable and said that the Greeks
re garded 1t as food for the mind,
while today it was regarded as slim
,lant for the body.
This recalls favorite experiment
of Professor Vivian b. Lewes. ex-
plosive expert. When lecturing he
used to fill glass jar with water
cress, take it to Greenwich hospital
and leave it on the roof in the suns
rays. The next week 1t would be
brought back to the lecture room,
the cover removed. and light placed
rear the opening with the result that
deafening explosion occurred. This
proved according to the professor.
that watercress was composed OF pure
oxygen and therefore very beneficial
to the human system.

New York. Sept At last the
business woman is to have a fashion
show all her own.
Style designers have known for
years that it was the business woman
who dominated the fashions in gowns
and wraps. but when it came to hav-
ing a style show-wel. Susie O'Grady
who takes dictation six days a week,
just simply couldn't find anything
there that would fit her pocketbook
and go well with the boss's mahogany
furniture at the same time.
Now Miss O'Grady is to see a style
show where she may find the very
dress she needs at a price she can
afford to pay. The show will be part
of the second annual exhibit of wom-
ems activities which the New York
League Of Business and Professional
Women is to put on at the Hotel
Commodore, Sept. 24-29.
We have practically enough ex-
hibitors for complete fashion show"
says Elizabeth Sears president of the
league and general manager of the
exhibit.
There will be no theatrical back
ground to bind the observer to
quality. We will show fashions of to-
lay from lingerie out. against the

everyday background of Office equip
ment. They must win on their merit.
The result Is that many exclusive
designers are putting much effort into
special designs and business and pro-
fessional women the nation over are
awaiting the show as indicative of
fashions trend for the winter
A practical model will be one OF
navy French jersey, with collar and
cuffs of real linen. A half dozen but
tons down the front and smart
leather belt are the only trimming
A small cloche hat of black felt is
worn with IT.
Sometimes the business woman goes
directly from the Office to a dinner
engagement. Then she touches up her
suit with dress blouse and hat of
black velvet, rolling gently away from
the. face, An ermine rosette Is the one
bit of trimming.
Among the women who will reg
