PAGE SIX Gl CO OPS 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.

VHTES _®[|® 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 egr @■l X . ■ i - Mil Hj/] w. / No “Ifs” About It — Goodyears Cost Less We want to sell you a tire—not an argu ment.

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! ’ A<- 'i'. . -Y. W '■ ■■ .. 'THE FASHION SHOP J. E. HIGHTOWER, Proprietor 222 Jackson Street. Americus, Ga. t! SPTI S~ J A 7 y Y | \ K H I \ 1 C Jd i P'N. Jifr n WoA \\ Mllz ■ ' J, /I ■BOn / [' f lllil 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.
