SYRUP PLANT
TO FIZGERALD
Sweet Potato Experi
ments Work To Be
Conducted There
The government’s experimental
sweet potato plant, which Americus,
hoped to be able to secure, will be)
located in Fitzgerald. Notification I
to this efefct has just been received i
by J. Ralston Cargill, of Americus,;
who was responsible for the bringing )
of three government experts here a ;
short time ago to inspect the ad- j
vantages offered by Americus for
location of the experimental plant. It
was he, also, who offered the gov
ernment free of charge a building
and steam from his own syrup plant
nearby:
It is understood that Americus I
was preferable to the experts from
many standpoints, but that facilities
found at Fitzgerald were considered
superior to those elsewhere. These
included a potato curing housa and
a potato canning plant already in
operation.
Mr. Cargill has received letters
from Dr. C. L. Alsberg, chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, and from D.
J. Price, engineer in charge of the
development work, the latter of
whom was one of the three experts
who visited Americus on this inspec
tion trip, both of which explain
themselves. They follow:
“Mr. J. Ralston Cargill, Americus,
Georgia.
“Dear Mr. Cargill: I desire to
reply further to your letter of Jan
uary 21 regarding the visit of rep
resentatives of this bureau to Ameri
cus in connection with the sweet po
tato syrup production unit.
“We have been carefully consid
ering the report of our representa
tives covering their trip through
Georgia, which was indeed very
gratifying and indicates the impor
tance of this project to the entire
South. They were well received at
every point and the bureau has been
invited to accept a number of loca
tions which are generally satisfac
tory.
"Owing to lack of funds, however,
it has been necessary for us to de
cide upon a point where the equip
ment can be installed at the least ex
pense and a production basis reached
as early as possible. After careful
consideration we feel that these fa
cilities are best afforded at Fitz
gerald, Georgia, and we have decid
ed to undertake the experimental
work at that point.
“We assure you, however, that the
results of the tests will be consider
ed entirely as official department
data and not be available for the pub
until the tests are completed. At
that time we hope to make the infor
mation available to any parties in
terested in the commercialization of
the process.
“I desire to take this opportunty
to again express my personal appre
ciation for the courtesies extended
to our representatives during their
recent visit to Americus, and we
hope that we will be able to obtain
satisfactory results in the experi
ments which we are now undertak
ing. Respectfully,
“C. L. ALSBERG,
“Chief.

What Every Woman Would Know:
Styles Mrs. Harding Will Wear
I Z WM y a 1

MRS. HARDING insists upon reflecting her own personality in every
thing she wears. Milton Wolf, New York style designer, is one of
her “mirrors.”
NEW YORK, Feb. 7. What will;
Mrs. Harding wear?
Simplicty characterized the garb of
Senator Harding’s wife. But will
plain little foulards and tailored
ready-mades be worn by Mrs. Hard
iug, the president’s Lady?
“No! says Milton Wolf;' head of
the house of Joseph, whose super ex
clusive showroom on Fifth avenue
has been happily flurried by the pat
ronage of the president-elect’s wife.
“For appropriatenesss is the soul of
economy. And a certain dignity of
dress is demanded o fthose in high
places.”
It can be taken for granted that
Mrs. Harding figured this way, tto,
or she would not have come to shop
at Joseph’s and other ultra-fashion
able New York shops.
The president’s wife is attended by
Milton Wolf himself, artist, designer,
colorist and connoisseur in fabrics,
periods and historical costuming.
He studies his client while chat
ting—mentally notes that a long
line here, a touch of draping there
are needed for the best effects.
“The new silhouette,” said Wolf,
“is directoire—which means the high
waistline. Not necessarily a short
which would permit installation of
the equipment at least expense and
allow production as soon as possible.
“I desire to take this opportuni
ty to express my personal apprecia
tion of the courtesies extended our
party during the recent visit to Am
ericus, and would be glad to have
I you convey our well wishes to our
) kind friends in the Rotary club,
I Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis
club of Americus. We shall be
I pleased to have you keep in touch
with us during the continuation of
the experiments and will look for
ward to seeing you from time dur-,
ing the conduct of the same. With
, kind personal regards, I am very
truly yours,

Work.

DIRECTOIRE FOR YOU!
The W|Site H/yjse in almost ev
ery adniinistration has influenced
styles in America—far more than
the Rue de la Paix or Paris or
Bond street of London. Mrs.
Harding, wife of the president
elect, goes to Fifth avenue for her
fashions. Her fancies? They lean
toward the directoire /silhoutte,
low necks, long and tightly fitted
sleeves, skirts narrow with ample
walking room; nothing fussy, but
rich and refined. Her approval of
t)\e directoire stamps it as “the
thing” not only for Washington,
but for every city, town and ham
let in America. Now that it’s de
cided, madam, your husband may
step up with the president-elect
and pay the bill.
waist. The gown may flow in long,
slim lines, yet be caught in slight

bust.
“For the woman with height and
some fullness of figure the directoire
model has a slenderin geffect. It is
capable of infinite variation accord
ing to the type* of the wearer.
“Necks remain low.

We are of those who are able to

than the foreign Style-makers can.”)
Mrs. Harding insists upon reflect-1
ing her own personality in every
thing she’ wears, from the most sim
ple and tailoerd motoring apparel to
the gorgeous gowns she has ordered
for White' House dinners.
“I love rich and beautiful fabrics,”
says the president-elect’s wife, “but
I can’t bear fussiness! It doesn’t suit
me. I am an executive woman. I
love business and planning and di

eries are no more appropriate for me
than a satin how on a bulldog!
“I am not a slave to fashion and
never shall be. But I have two hob
bies—hats and gloves. I know good
hats and like to wear them. And I
won’t wear soiled gloves or careless
ly fitted ones. There is nothing that
so completely spoils a costume as
sloppy gloves. And I have always
felt clothes are tremendously im
portan. No one can afford to be in
different about them.”
