SOUTH TO FIGHT
FOR SQUAREDEAL
Increased Planting of
Small Grain This Fall
Planned
ATLANTA, August 30. Dele
gates will leave Atlanta today and
tomorrow for Montgomery, Ala., to
attend the convention of the national
board of directors, finance and execu-j
tive committees and members of the |
American Cotton association, which
will open Wednesday for a session
of three days.
The purpose of this convention,
which is the semi-annual meeting of
the cotton association, is to recom
mend a minimum price for cotton
and cotton seed, and to form plans
and wage a campaign in every sec
tion of the cotton producing states
for planting the largest acreage in
small grain this fall and food and
feed crops next spring ever planted in
the history of the South. According
to President R. W. Mattox, of the
Georgia Division of the American
Cotton Association, it was decided to
follow this course, after investiga
tion as to the needs of the world for
food and feed crops.
“On account of the enormous'
shortage of labor in the South this
will enable the cultivation of these
crops to advantage as they require
far less labor and expense in culti
vation and do not embrace the great;
hazardous risk in production that cot
ton does,” declared President Mat
tox.
J. S. Wannamaker, president of
the American Cotton Association,’
who will preside over the Montgom
ery meeting, said today:
“The foui»teen cotton producing
states <re organized and united as 1
never before and are determined to
fight to the last ditch for a square;
deal. Under no conditions will they
sacrifice their cotton crop which is
desperately needed by the world at
unprofitable prices. Based upon
supply and demand, this crop should
bring a far higher price than any
price since the close of the World
War and the South is determined
not to permit a repitition of the
crime of 1914.” '
Persons in Burma object to build
ings of more than one story, as they
can not endure the thought of any
body’s feet being over their heads.
Bank Vice-President
Tells How Ziron Iron Tonic Helped His Daughter
After Operation for Appendicitis.
AFTER any serious Illness, the
first thing you notice when you
begin to get around is your lack
of strength and energy—a tired, weak
feeling.
The sooner you get your strength
back the better. The thing to do is
to eat plenty of good, nourishing food,
get all the fresh air you can, exercise
conservatively, and take Ziron Iron
Tonic three times a day.
Your doctor will tell you this is
sound advice, and urge you to follow it

Confessions ofa Bride
(Copijngfvtl92o, by J
THE BOOK OF DEBORAH
Bob Seem* to Like a Woman Who»e
Laugh Harmonizes With Hi*
An exquisite contralto laugh float
ing above the rattle of the dishes,
reached my ears. My husband’s fine
bass tones harmonized with it. Usu
ally Bob does not consider wiping
the dishes a mirth-provoking enter
tainment. I suppose he wouldn’t care
to have anyone but his mother know
that he ever takes a dish towel in his,
hand. Os course we could always
avoid the task by going to one of the
clubs or hotels for dinner the even
ingfc the maid is away, bul Bob
and I prefer a dinner at home even
if the price is “doing the dishes” af
terward. Bob likes all the time he
can get at home to do a little read
ing.
Katherine Miller laughs exquisite
ly. When I heard Bob’s laugh ming
led musically with hers, as they work
ed at my kitchen sink, I stood up as
rigid as the fine gladioli stalks I had
been cutting.
I understood for the first time
a certain little criticism my husband
had. recently made of my voice:
Bob and I were waiting in a noisy
station for a train, and I was telling
him something important in nervous,
high tones, when my husband inter-1
rupted me abruptly:
“You’re talking too loud! I like a
contralto voice, you know.”
Bob didn’t intend to be brutal—
he never is that—and I didn’t intend
to be touchy, although I sometimes
suppose I am. I realize that my voice
is often strained and perhaps un
pleasant when I am compelled to
raise it. Bob has said, so considerate
ly, at such times:
“Softly, girlie.”
And I have wanted to hug him
for his gentleness. And so it is no
wonder that I was surprised when
he spoke as he did in the railroad
station and that I had to turn from
him to conceal my tears. I couldn’t
go on with my bit of news, and Bob
never noticed when I stopped speak
ing.
The reason for his sharp criticism
came to me in a flash as I listened
to Katherine’s low laugh.
It was the contralto note in her
slow speech which my husband had
contrasted with my rapid flow of
wordjs and my high-pitched voice.
Remembering her contralto Bob was
Read this letter from Mr. J. B. Kelly,
vice-president of the First National
Bank, Graceville, Fla.: “My daughter
had been in bad health since last April.
She was operated on for appendicitis.
She has been taking Ziron for two
weeks. Her appetite is better than It
has been. Her nerves are better, and
she says she feels better ... I know
that Ziron Is good for weak and feeble
people."

irritated and exasperated by the in
ferior quality of my soprano and
for the first time in our wedded life.
I sat down on the garden bench
and listened to the duet of small talk
in the kitchen. Os course I couldn’t
hear what they were saying—l wasn’t
listening in that sense. It was taking
Bob and Katherine an unnecessarily
long time to finish those dishes. My
little revenge for their ride wasn’t
proving sweet.
I analyzed Katherine’s laugh: it
was too even, it was always exactly
the same. It sounded as if she had
practiced it like an actress. Probab
ly some man had once told her that
her laugh was charming above that
of all other women—-and now—she
was trying the charm of it on my
husband. The hateful thing.
And Bob couldn’t see—or hear—
as I did—that there was nothing
spontaneous— nothing sincere in her
laugh.
He liked a contralto voice.
“Maybe he can’t help liking a wo
man whose laugh harmonizes with his
own,” said myself to myself as I
tried to shape my lips into a smile
before going back to the kitchen.
“Maybe it’s a trick of nature. Maybe
the harmonizing laugh of a man and
a woman indicate harmonizing dis
positions—or a disposition to har
monize.”

Not alone for the sake of South
ern youth, but for the sake of South
ern industry and its crying need for
trained men, did the members of the
Brick Association pass resolutions,
endorsing the movement for “a great
er Georgia Tech” and pledging their
individual efforts to make it possible.
“The South undoubtedly is suffer
ing a serious handicap today because
of the lack of leadership,” declared
resolutions. “The South is but
scantily profiting through its vast
commercial clay deposits, being fifth
in production of crude clays and sev
enteenth in the manfacture of clay
products. No technical school in the
South has a department of ceram
ics. Therefore, be it resolved, that
we endorse most heartily any plan
for strengthening and extending the
splendid influence and teachings of
the Georgia School of Technology
and urge that the members of this
association do all within their power
to make this movement “Successful in
every respect.”
The association further went on
record that “the best interests of the
South require that there be estab
lished at the Georgia School of Tech
nology, with the least possible delay,
a department of ceramics, fully
equipped in every respect to train
young men for expert leadership in
ceramic lines, and conduct exhaustive
experiments with clay products.”
