The I lecturer is Dr. Blanch Grosbec, Loveridge, formerly the head of a fashionable girls' school in Atlanta, who is a psychohygenist with a studio at Littlepines bn Peachtree Way. “You don’t have to be old and rheumatic and sick and sorrowful,” Miss Loveridge told an audience of women, some of whom apparently brougth their husbands along. ‘lt is all in your mind and not in your body. Right about face and cher ish the young thought. Picture yourself young, lithe, well ana handsome. Think about it talk about it, write about it and you will see a great change. No, you don’t have to believe me, just try what I suggest. " “Age is all nonsense. Nature’s plan is youth, maturity, reproduc tion, then youth, maturity and creation again, a magic circle. The world has thought this course of old age and decrepitude upon it self. “You can be what you want to be if you will only get busy with your mind and might. Drop your fears, worries and anxieties. Suffi cient unro the day are the prob lems thereof. Live today, laugh, be happy, give thanks, be generous to others, stop nagging, criticising, frowning, suspecting. Ventilate your thought centers and become young and well and beautiful again. Why not, other people have done it and so can you.” . Miss Ixiveridge has started At lantans along a new line of thought and the Gone theory of philosophy apparently has been revived. i 18 ... Jr LATEST FASHIONS SHOWN IN FILM The latest whims of fashion are shown by the feminine members of the cast of the Fred Niblo pro duction, '‘The Famous Mrs. Fair,” based, on the great American play by James Forbes, being shown at the Rylpnder theater today and Friday. Myrtle Stedman, Mar guerite de la Motte, Helen Fergu son and Carmel Myers wear sev eral wraps and gowns that are stunning creations. , One of the capes worn by Miss Stedman is an evening wrap of platinum gray hare, a Parisian novelty that is quite distinctive. Another - beautiful wrap worn by the same actress is a luxurious cape of ermine, cut o nflaring, cir cular lines and trimmed with er mine tails. Markuerite de la Motte likewise wears several charming costumes. One of the capes which she wears is of white hare, the new Parisian fur which is very chic. The lining of the wrap is of white georgette. Another is a rich seal fur coat, very long and wide, trimmed with skunk. A distinctive cape of beav er coney is novel not only because of the unusual cross-bar effect in which the fur is arranged, but also because its lining is of rich brown velvet, embroidered in bronze, mak ing it possible to wear in cape re versed, if desired.

OAT PLANTING TIME NEAR NOW IN LAURENS DUBLIN, Sept. 20.—Those who are in close touch with the farm situation in Laurens are taking note of the fact that the time for planting oats this fall will soon be at hand. They should be planted in October by all means to secure the best results. The oat crop this fall will be a very important crop for (the reason that it will be, badly need ed next spring to feed stock with after the corn crop is exhausted. Many farmers’ will not have enough corn to carry them until the new crop of 1924- For this reason the oat crop looms up with more than usual importance, and the crop that the farmers can depend upon to help them through the coming year when corn will be unusually short in this county.

These are plain and generally accepted facts, so there is no use to quibble about them. Even those most hopeful of the situation do not expect as much as an eleven million bale crop, whild indications point to one near er ten million bales. That this year’s consumption will be not less twelve million bales also seems as sured« “New cotton is moving on to the market fast, but this is caused by premature opening in certain sec< tions. In reality, this is a bullish and not a bearish item because after flourish of ginning' there is sure to come an alarming slump. The next government report will be issued Tuesday, October 2. The reliable Memphis Commercial-Ap peal now states that the condition is 48.7, which forecasts a crop of only 10,240,000 bales. This com pares with the last government re port of 54.1 indicating a yield of 10,788,000. The calamity in Ja pan cannot possibly be construed as bearish because it simply means that England will have to increase her output for the Far East. The Liverpool stock is the lowest in many years. The consumption dur ing August showed an increase of 30,000 bales over July.” THOMASVILLE HIGH TO HAVE FAST FOOTBALL THOMASVILLE, Sept. 20—All indications point to a good football team for Thomasville this season in spito of thei fact that it was feared good material for the team might be lacking this season. Coach Harper has the boys olt practicing every afternoon and he finds that there is a supply of much better material than he was led to expect and the boys are being rap idly developed by practice. With a coach like Mr. Harper every ounce of good in the players will be brought out and Thomasville may be able to show a team that will equal that of last which was the best Thomasville Hi ever had.
