Maybe the jewelling will have altered somewhat. Twenty years ago the dowagerS wore stomachers which looked like gilded dinner platters set witl electric lights. And some of the young men had whskers. And there are more ladies to the ton nowadays. Twenty years ago ten ladies of fashion would fill a hay-wagon.
 But the Golden Horseshoe has nc leader now. When Old Lady Astor was alive she was Boss. Spell it with big B. please, Boss. She ran New York society like credit agency. She was the cause of an ocean of feminine tears Some of the feuds she started have not been healed yet. But she was Boss.
 She used to come in shortly before the end of the first act of the opera with the majesty of Queen Mary re- scending upon Derby Day. Every one in society was in his or her place before the Boss arrived. Yet not too far in advance, lest they be taken for mere commoners who get to places on time. When the lights went up there she was, all set, wearing the famous Astor pearls, which after her death were ap- praised at thirty-five dollars. But they fooled all New York society for a gen. eration. At least no one in society dared tell. It would have been social suicide.
 Now there is no such thing as boss in New York society. There are varl- ous sharp-tongued old ladies, of course, who can and do make life unpleasant for the thinner members of their sets, But if the thin-skinned do not like 1t, all they have to do is to pick new set Those who have the same tastes in cocktails and jazz and horses and dresses and art and literature and coun- try houses swarm like bees to the vari- ous hives.
 We rank outsiders, who look on at society a good deal as we do at show and razz it heartily if the show does not come up to our expectations, have changed our attitude, too. If society had a boss we wouldn't care. When Old Lady Astor was running things the town was comparatively small and we took vicarious pride in the spectacle she managed. We went to the opera then more to see the Golden Horseshoe than to hear the music. Nowadays WUPI lUe lilLAC Ah NA1 monds who have taken the place of the big fat ladies in diamonds in that sacred semi-circle make too much noise we hiss 'em. Not very loudly, for we still know that it is sacrilege of pecul iarly fragrant sort. But we hiss 'em for all that
 There are dozen fairly we'll de fined social circles now. The inner most of the inner contains about 60t names, but the metes and bounds arc not fixed as they were in the simpler days. The sets melt into each other The melting is carried so far tha plebians who work for a living ant come from as far west as the Grea Staked Plains have penetrated to thu bulls eye. Of course they damp dow1 helpful, and if there are enough ot them, and enough of them are believed they will kill any hope of an Amer l ican merchant marine.

TO DELAY PLANTING
COTTON IN COLQUITT

MOULTRIE, March ia. B.
Rogers, one of the biggest cotton
growers n Georgia, who was in
Moultrie Tuesday, declared it was
not his intention to put the seed
in the ground for his 1924 crop
before April /. "The ground is
so cold that it would be folly to be
gin planting at this time," he an
nounced. "In my opinion it VIII
take two weeks more for the earth
to warm up sufficiently to make
planting safe. Seed put in at that
time is early enough provided the
crop is hurried to maturity with
rapid work and the proper fertili-
zer," concluded Mr.. Rogers.
Mr.. Rogers, Ike many other far,
mers in this county, plans vigor-
Gus fight on the boil weevil this
year. In fact he started his cam
paign early last fall with the de-
struction of the stalks on his farm.
He expects this to result in very
light infestation during the early
growing season.

TINT COMMISSIONERS
PUSH COLLECTIONS
Past Due Taxes Must Be Paid
With Costs or Levies Will Be
M a d

Triton, March 19.-The Boar.l
of County Commissioners met in
special session to consider the mat
ter of past due taxes. The Com

R1-22 tax fifas over to a collecting
agent and proceed Immediately
with the collection of these taxes.
Clerk w. B. Hitchcock and At
torney C. A. Christian were In
structed to proceed Immediately
with the preparation of a list of all
property owners who have not paid
their state and county taxes for the
years 1920-21-22, or either of those
years. When this list is prepared
the Commissioners will meet and
go over same and place the list in
the hands of Clerk Hitchcock for
collection. The property owners
will then be given an opportunity to
pay the back taxes and costs and if
this is not done, levies and sales
will follow.
Fl fas for 1928 will not be turn
ed over to the collector, except
where the property owner failed to
pay his taxes during one or more
previous years. In cases where the
taxes for either 1920, 1921 or 1922
were not paid, the 1928 fl ia also
will be turned over to the collector.

WHEAT SINKS
EARLY TODAY
Buying Support Is Lacking in
Early Dealings

Chicago, April l5.-Downturns in
value were general in all pits today
during the early transactions. Buy
ing support was lacking. Besides
seasonablc weather in the domestic
wheat growing region together with
lower quotations at Liverpool tended
further to bring about declines in
wheat. The opening here, which
ranged from shade to five-eighths
cents lower, with May $l.O112 and
July $1O3as to y was followed by
slight additional setbacks and then
something of rally.
Subsequently although no decided
selling pressure developed favorable
crop reports from the Southwest
hinderedt rallies and so, too, die
meagerness of cash demand here fol
corn or wheat. Wheat closed un-
settled at the same as yesterday
finish to one-half cent lower, Nav
$1.O1is and July $l.03k.

The flour situation in Hungary and
Poland is also receiving careful Of
ficlal attention, the former govern
ment considering the abandonment
of flour control. In Poland the do
mestic product is rapidly replacing
Ukranian flour as result of the new
import duty against that country
Foodstuffs prices in Poland have
fallen from 10 to 20 per cent, al
though the price Of domestic wheat
flour has remained steady. The grain
market is quiet again. In France,
the improvement Of the franc, while
facilitating wheat imports, is check
ing flour exports.
The Dutch cereal market is dull
with internal demand quiet, price
premiums shifting from spot to fu
ture deliveries. Better prospects for
American rye are seen in this mar
ket as result of decreased offer
ings of Russian rye in February and
early March, but impending arrivals
of Argentina wheat are not paItlcu-
larly favorable for the American
ITpuuCl. hIeSCe Is OUT VI tuc WI
and flour market, heavy stocks being
on hand with millers seeking tariff
prote ction.
Brazil has reduced it's tariff on
wheat and wheat flour 40 per cent,
and the government is authorized to
acquire foodstutfs abroad in an eff
fort to relieve the high cost of liv-
ing. The first shipment Of Canadian
wheat to that country is reported to
have arrived last month. Wheat
crop prospects in Australia are very
good and pHces in March for spot
export grain were strong. In Argen-
tina, however, which has just COM
pleted very large wheat harvest
and wheat has been experiencing
period of depre ssion, low March quo
tations on both wheat and oats may
affect the size Of the next years
crops. The second forecast by the
Indian government estimates the
wheat acreage of all India at 30,S4O,-
900 acres.

of Russian wheat of the last harvest
up to April 3 amounted to 1850 600
