MONDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 30, 1920 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.

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."

Try it. 1 HE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER 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.” (To Be Continued) • - Face Brick Men Urge Expansion For Tech ATLANTA, August 30.

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.” Old Fast Stock Train To Southwest Resumed ATLANTA, August 30.—Re-estab lishment of special fast live stock train service between St. Louis and the Southeastern territory by the Southern Railway System and the DR.
