CONDITION .64
Based Upon This Condition
Yield in State is Estimated
at 1,209,000 Bales
ATLANTA, Sept. 11.-The con
dition of cotton in Georgia on
September 1, was 64 po? cent of
normal, as compared with 70 par
cent two weeks previous, and 42
per cent on August 25, 1923, ac
cording to tne official report com
piled by V. C. Childs, associate agri
cultural statistician, of the Georgia
Co-Operative Crop Reporting Ser
vice.
Judging from the relation of con
ditions on August 25 and Septem
ber 25 to final yields in former
years, the report says, the condition
of cotton of 64 per cent on Septem
ber 1 indicates a yield per acre of
about 153.6 pounds, and a total
production of about 1,209,000 blaes.
of 500 pounds gross. The indicated
yield and production is slightly
above that of August 16, as to the
decline of 6 points indicated was
less than might be reasonably ex
pected when producing cotton under
weevil conditions The final out
turn will vary from the above
pmount as conditions are better or
worse than average after Septem
ber 1, according to the report.
In a number of counties in the
northern third of the state, says
the report, and particularly in north
west Georgia, and in other scatter
ed counties, severe drought has
checked growth and caused shed
ding of young bolls somewhat in
excess of normal, thereby reducing
what was said to be a splendid out
look in those counties.
Some premature opening is re
sulting in shorter staph and light
er bolls in the territory mentioned
above.
The report further states that
there has been very little boll wee
vil damage to date over any consi
derable are, and that although
weevils are becoming more active
in the southern half of the state,
that the crop is too far advanced
for them to do serious damage.
While the potential crop was re
duced by drought during the past
month, plants, for the most part,
are holding and maturing a good
Set of fruit, and a crop in excess
of a million bales is still probable.

Wisconsin Results and Straw
Vote Aboard Liner Hearten
ing to Progressives
BY HARRY B. HUNT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—Two
tests of how the political wind is
blowing have greatly he uty ned the
La Follette-Wheeler contingent.
File first was the result in the
Wisconsin state primaries, where
Gov. John. M. Blaine, hearing La
Folletts endorsement, received a
vote substantially larger than thv
combined vote for his two rivals,
and La Follette-endorsed candidate,
for state office were swept across
by crushing majorities all along the
line.
This, however, despite claims by
nnti-La Follette workers in th'
state, was not unexpected A much
more significant test, it. is held
here, was that of a straw vote taken
on board the Shipping Board liner
George Washington, en route from
Europe the last week in August.
To relieve the tedium of the days
at sea a “presidential campaign”
was pulled off in which the 531
passengers in the first, second and
third cabins participated.
Three days of intensive campai
gnning preceded the balloting.
Rep. John D. Frederick- of Cali
fornia was manager and chief spo
kesman for Coolidge and the G. O.
P’
Arthur Mulberger of Wisconsin,
former U. S. district attorney, had
charge of the Davis Democratic cam
paign.
Herman Grossman, a New York
proletarian, upheld the cause of th?
La Follette-Wheeler ticket.
The voting was by secret ballot,
at the same hour in the three dif
ferent cabins. The result Was:
Coolidge and Dawes, 342.
Davis and Bryan, 110.
I a Follette and Wheeler, 82.
On shipboard this was at once
acclaimed as a “sea-slide” for the
G. O. P. “Nothing to it,” the Re
publican boosters aboard declared.
Three to one as against Davis and
four to one over La Follette.
Certainly that is what it appars
on the surface. But the La Follette
analysists look under the surface

r THE AMERICUS TTMES-RECORDER
John V/. Davis, Democratic
presidential nominee- (left), and
his running mate, Governor
Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska,
took in a b all game while Davis
was in Omiha. They saw the
Omaha team defeat Tulsa in the
Western League.
and find cause for cheer.
“What propotion of the workers
of America,” they ask, “spend
their vacation touring Europe?” ;
What percentage of the passen
gers aboard a great liner returning
from Europe would come from the
great mass of wage earners and
middle-class salaried folks to whom
expected to appeal. Certainly rot
the La Follette candidacy-might b'b
,25. per cent!
“In the main such travelers come
from the groups which grow rich
on the very special privileges whicn
La Follette assails.
“If La Follette can get 82 votes
from among a shipload of return
ing European tourists, he’ll run
like a house afire among the stay
at-homes.”
Takig up the vote in more de
tail, the La Follette dopesters are
more than ever certain they have
the right slant on its significance.
Os the 290 first cabin passengers,
for instance, only 17 were for the
Wisconsin Independent, 61 were for
Davis and 212 for Coolidge.
Among the 202 second cabin tra
velers, less representative of big
business and great wealth, Cooli
<dge’s lead was not so great and
La Follette's vote actually exceed
ed that of Davis, the vote being:
Coolidge 116, Davis 41, La Follette
45.
In the third-cabin groups the La
Follette-Wheeler ticket ran away
from both old-line opponents, the
42 voters in this class giving 20
votes to La Follette as against 14
for Coolidge and eight for Davis.
These third cabin travelers the
Independent boosters claim, are
more nearly representative of the
American voters. If anything, the?
would be less strongly Independent
than the average. Therefore the
cheer!

In the Year of La Mode 1924
Today, when confronted with the frequent question: "What is the big Fashion
Hit of the season?” the serious creator of dress replies with a reluctance that
grows more pronounced with each year. For, although the mode has under
gone much change since last season, the change is subtle and not easily under
scribed; it is not a thing of conspicuousness; it has very little in common with
the sudden, spectacular fashion changes that prevailed a few years ago.
In former year, Fiance effected readily noticeable changes in silhouette prac
tically each season. It must be remembered that, up to the year 1920, wom
en were still severely corseted. The waist was restricted to an exaggerated
thinness. Any change in the position of the waistline was, therefore, im
mediately apparent. The mere shifting from an extremely low an extremely
high waistline made a most conspicuous change in the silhouette.
But, since 1920, the ways of women have completely changed. Women* of
the smart world have rebelled against the formal, old-fashioned corset, and
have declared for the freedom of comfort of the natural figure. While cor
sets, so-called, are still worn, they usually do not extend above the waist
line, They place only a light restraint upon the hips. The corset that gives
the soft, uncorseted effect is the smart ideal! In addition, women have
!»**>
discarded all but the merest necessities in underdress.
To the creator of fashion, only only one thing now remains: to liberate and to
adorn all the grace of the natural form! As old prejudices and pruderies are
cast aside, couteriers are able to turn to the <j eatiqnYof the purely beautiful
and artistic in dress. It is very inspiring, for example, to contrast the ex
quisite, supple, clinging tissues of the new mode with the stiff taffeta and oth
er fabiic-abhorrences of the old “iron-clad” era.
Ihe keynotes of .Fashion today are naturalness and quiet elegance. Com-
>. .■•’Cl JM ' -
tjg»A e c^ar ‘ 8e * n st yl e prevails, as the connoisseur well knows. But noth
ing drastic—no crude conspicuousness. The little, beltless Frock of the
moment—by no chance is it yesterday’s belted model minus the belt. No!—
is inherent—it does not express any necessity for the belt! The
long sleeves have not the awkwardness of the long sleeves of former years.
They grow from the dress as naturally as do the wearer’s arms from the body!
1 Does Not Come from a

t h- nge of style does not mean narrow or wide—high waistline or low waist
lq?e. It is expressed in grace of line and in wittiness of idea; in the harmony
between parts; in the art of draping; in the ensemble of colourings—in the
