Dainty accessories iq the shape of collar and cuff sets “make" many a simple frock. ' A set ol
soft white Japan silk, fluted, is shown on the left, while plaid taffeta pleated and edged with rib
bon, fashion the unusual ones in the center. For the college or business girl a linen set edged':
with Irish lace (right) adds a smart touch. Incidentally, a set of these accessories makes a nice
Jastjninute gift.
PROSTECT FOR
1925
• Washington, D c. 29.—Ameri
can business is riding safely at
high tide. Fears entertained by
the administration a month ago
that perhaps business *was ex
panding too rapidly, and that ir.
flation might result from the phe
nomenal rise in the stock market,
have been allayed greatly.
Figures compiled by the depart
ment of commerce show:
How Prices Stand.
That the commodity price index,
based on 200 commodities in gen
eral. use, is the same as it was
one year ago today.
That the cost of living figures
are the same as they were a year
ago.
That prices being received by
the farmer for his products is
far better.
That the price the farmer pays
for the things he must use have
been reduced materially, and his
financial status placed almost on
a level with the man in industry.
Few Now Lack Work.
America will enter the new year
'f on a tide of prosperity, with vir
tually no involuntary unemploy
ment.
None of the major industries
has reached 100 per ceat produc
tion, and until demand exceeds
maximum production, the admin
istration is not fehrful of infla
tion. Steel production is 83 per
cent of capacity.
Government officials believe the
ideal business situation for the
- United States would be a pro
duction of about 95 per cent max
imum and that the basic indus
tries are working gradually to
that point. Demand for 101 per
cent of production is regarded as
dangerous, for when demand ex
ceeds the supply the danger of in
flation begins.

MILLION-TREE
STATE FORESEEN
Macon, Dec. 29.—While 500,000
peach trees will be cut down dur
ing the winter, according to latest
estimates from reliable sources, it
is known that a million trees will
come into bearing the coming tea
son.
, This presents a problem of how
to curtail the coming crop to pre
vent the glutting of the markets,
so detrimental to the peach indus
try during the coming season.
It has been the rule, growers
say, that a light crop usually fol
lows a big crop, hence they are
hopeful that the coming season
will not be too prolific.
Fort Valley Optimistic
In Fort Valley, the heart of the
peach belt, there is less worry and
more optimism than in any other
section of the state, according to
financial agents of Atlanta and
Macon banks who have just made
a tour of the belt. Growers there
believe that the coming season
will be a financial success. They
are laying their plans accordingly.
Expect More Trees
There were 8,800,000 bearing
in Georgia during the past
season, out of a total of 12,000,
000 trees. The records obtainable
now would indicate that there will
be approximately 9,300,000 bear
ing trees for the coming peach
season, unless growers wield the
axe a little more vigorously than
they have thus far.
No early varieties have been
planted. Heaviest planting ap
pears to have been in favor of the
Hileys and the Elbertas and it i i
in these two varieties, it i3 said,
that mbst of the new trees will
come itno bearing the coming
year.
Percentage of Fruit
The percentage of the fruit, ac
cording to number of trees, the
coming season, will be divided as
follows:
Early Rose ..... 3.6
Carmen ________ 7.8
Hileys __________ 34.2
Belles _________ 8.1
Elbertas ______ 46.3
