CUT COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting Produc
tion Cost Through Food-
Making and Saving.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—"A right
about-face movement in 1921 is neces
sary if the farmers of the South are
to get on safe, firm ground again,'
said H. G. Hastings, President of the
great Southeastern Fair.
“It looks as If we all went cotton
cracy last spring, despite all the daD
ger signals flying and the disregard
of plain facts as to costs of cotton
production. We have repeated our fol
lies of 1911 and 1914 and piled up
debts based on costly food and grain
to be paid tor by cotton that is no*-
below cost of production,
“With few exceptions those itemi
of food and grain could and shoulc
have been produced on home acre*
at one-third to one-half what the sup
ply merchant charges for them.
“Cotton Is the one best money crop
tor the South, and probably always
will be. The time of war prices it
over and the problem from now on it
to lower cost of production and at tbt
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit.
"Cost of making cotton is primarily
the cost of food, grain and forag*
for the farmer, his family, his labor
ers or tenants, and his work stock
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot
ton costs from one-third to one-half
“Plant for an abundance of food
grain and forage, thus cutting down
store bills, and the lower prices foi
cotton will not hurt so much. We can
not, with European countries so thor
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lowei
cost, or else quit cotton growing.
“Most of us cannot quit cotton
hence the absolute necessity of food
grain and forage planting in 1921 —
the making on home acres of every
pound of food and grain needed to Bee
us through.
"In this food production program
take the home vegetable garden seri
ously. Give the home garden a equare
deal and it will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. It
takes the least ground, can be plant
ed the earliest, brings quick returns
and if kept replanted and worked will
stay by you all the season through.
A SMILE
Jno. Milton Samples
I saw a face today that wore
The smile of an old time friend;
It brought back memories of yore
And joys that youth did bend.
I saw the friends of other days
I loved long since, now lost awhile;
I saw the fragrant woodlond ways
Renewed to day n that sweet smile.
1 felt the bliss of childhood's time,
Its innocence and truth
The tin-toydays of nursery rhyme
In the fair spring morn of youth.
Sweet smiles! that woo from out the
past
The bliss of days by gone.
While earthly life is fleeting fast
I claim you for my own!

EASY TO GET FINGER PRINTS
Most Parents Will Agree That Baby
Will Be Glad to Co-operate
in the Matter.
A campaign is now’ under way to
require the finger-prints of all babies,
records to he preserved for identifica
tion purposes In any misfortune which
may come to them throughout their
lives.
Fathers interviewed said the plan
would check an enormous waste of ef
fort. Babies have been finger-printing
themselves ever since the human race
first crossed the starting line, but the
records never have been preserved.
Parents generally approved the idea
and suggest also the recording and
preservation of finger-prints on the
following subjects:
1. Papa’s linen collar.
2. Daddy’s shirt bosom.
3. The leaves of the Harvard clas
sics or the Century dictionary. These
volumes, and the like, always seem
the most eagerly sought after by a 2-
year old on a lark In the library.
4. The suit of the Old-Gentleman-
Who - Sits - In - the - Seat - Just - Ahead
of-Baby on the train.
5. Any white woodwork or window
sills.
Parents in registering the prints
should proceed In the following man
ner:
1. Get one jar of raspberry jam.
2. Get baby. (Possibly this should
be done first)
3. Allow an interval of fifteen sec
onds to elapse.
4. If the print is to be taken on a
collar the father should sit on the
floor, hack to the baby, and repeat
softly “Come snookum-oookums,” until
the kld grabs the Idea. Not more than
fifty finger prints should be taken on
any one collar.
5. Set collar in a cool place to dry.
6. Attach the infant’s name and pic
ture on the Inside of the collar.
7. File the collar away in a card
index.
If a parent prefers to register the
prints on a shirt bosom all he needs
to do Is to take the child on his lap
and say severely, “Don’t touch papsy’e
shirt! Naughty man will eat you If
you do.” Inside of five seconds it will
be possible to file the shirt, although
a larger card index cabinet is needed
if prints are taken this way.
In taking the prints on book leaves
no preliminary preparation is neces
sary beyond cautioning the child nev
er to go into the library or touch a
book. —Kansas City Star.
"Getting" the Professor.
He is vigorous and energetic. He
was an exceptional athlete in his col
lege days. Now he teaches in col
lege, but that doesn't detract from
his popularity. Even his students
like him. Nevertheless, they were
always on tlie lookout, hoping that
some day something would happen to
place him in a position at least em
barrassing. And the time did come.
A girl came to borrow a textbook
and he gladly lent it to her. She said
she would return it the next day be
fore class. She did. During the
lecture, he had recourse to it. While
turning the leaves a powder puff
fell to the floor. There was an ag
onized silence. He looked on the
floor to see what had fallen, and when
he saw the puff he tried wildly
to think of something to say. His
mind was blank, so he began his next
sentence: “Well, despite that

Women Live Underground.
Mrs. J. R. Forbes, the well-known
woman traveler, who lately returned
to England after wandering for sev
eral months from Moscow to Syria,
tells a story of her discovery of a
tribe of women who live underground.
They are to he found in the caves of
the Tripoli mountains and come up,
says Mrs. Forbes, only once in the
course of their lives. That is when
they marry and change their abode for
that of theh husband. Being contin
ually in their underground caves a re
markable change takes place in their
appearance. They become very white
in the face, and their eyes become dark
and brilliant. As they grow older
they are seized with a passion for
dyeing their hair with henna. In the
daylight these women are almost
blind; in fact they stagger about as
though under the influence. of drink.
Their houses are spacious enough for
them to keep all their live Stock un

Advancement in India.
A training school for Y. W. C. A.
secretaries, the first of its kind in the
country, was opened in India, Novem

United States. Eight young Indian
women, the same number as started
in the first class of the training school
in the United States in 1904, are in
the first class, studying administra
tion of association activities, club work
with girls and organization of girl
students. There are 47 Y. W. C. A.
workers in India at present and 161

“Do you remember the parable of

YOUNG MAN INJURED WHEN
TRAIN WRECKS WAGON.
Sam Wheeler, a young farmer of
this section, was badly hurt and his
wagon demolished here Friday morn
ing at a blind crossing on Railroad
avenue wdien he was struck by a Sea
board freight engine, w’hich was
switching on the track at the Darby
Lumber Company.
Mr. Wheeler was hauling wood
and as he approached the crossing
had his eye on another engine in
the yard and failed to see the engine
on the track he was crossing. The
engineer could see the clear track,
but could not see the approach on
account of the buildings. The en
gine was moving, very slowly and it
is probably due to this fact that the
young man was not killed. He was
removed to the Vidalia Hospital and
given attention immediately, where
it was found that he was severely
shocked, muscles of his back wrench
ed and his face badly bruised and
lacerated.
CHRISTMAS TREE.
The Sunday school at Magnolia
Springs Baptist church, Normantown,
gave a Christmas tree on the night
of Dec. 27th. A very interesting
program given by the Sunday school
classes, directed by Mrs. E. W.
Smith, was enjoyed by all present.
In spite of the inclemency of the
weather, a large crowd assembled
at an early hour. The tree was
beautifully decoiated and many
presents were exchanged. The pas
tor, Rev. C. E. McDaniel, was with
us and in a very striking manner
he pictured the birth of the Christ
child in Bethlehem.

A WOMAN’S BACK.
THE ADVICE OF THIS WOMAN
IS OF CERTAIN VALUE.
Many a woman’s back has many
aches and pains.
Ofttimes ’tis the kidneys’ fault.
That’s why Doan's Kidney Pills are
so effective.
Many Vidalia women know this.
Read what one has to say about it.
Miss Lizzie Coleman, 505 Durden
St., Vidalia, says: ’A few years ago
my kidneys were weak and caused
me considerable annoyance. My
back was sore and I had severe
pains through my kidneys. I read
of Doan's Kidney Pills and began to
take them. After taking half a box
I was entirely cured of this trouble
and I have had no return of it since.
I believe the cure to be permanent
and give Doan’s Kidney Pills the
credit."

HALF YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut
in Half By Food And Grain
Making And Saving
Atlanta, Georgia.— (Special.)—“High
prices for cotton, such as we had a
year ago cannot reasonably be expect
ed for a long time to come. European
countries that normally use half oui
crop are so thoroughly disorganized
and paralyzed in a business way that
they will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many years to come,” said H. G
Hastings, President of the great
Southeastern Fair.
“This situation which we cannot
control, calls for lower costs of mak
ing cotton as well as reduction in cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way to reduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on one’s
own acres every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
"The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cows and acres of corn,
oats, wheat, forage and miscellane
ous crops from which to feed them.
Last, but not least, in importance, Is
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source of
food in the world.
"Most folks here in the South don’t
take the home garden seriously and
thereby make a great mistake. There
are too many of the ‘lick and a prom
ise’ sort of gardens and mighty few
of the real sure enough kind.
"We have been told repeatedly by
those who plan and prepare for a real
garden, plant it, tend it and keep it
replanted through the season, that it
furnishes half the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
"The garden is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. It brings food
the quickest. It starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
is ready td use. A little later, half
or more needed for the table comes
out of the garden.
"If rightly tended and replanted it
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus above daily needs goes into
cans cr, is dried for winter use. Yes,
the right kind of garden is a life
saver, and we all need a life-saver of
this kind in 1921.^
