Refugee camp after camp, comprising

The children are dying by the hundreds

and infirmities of old age.
The Near East Relief bas done, and

Incomparably the most important
cvem the world's history wa the
comm), of the Lord to dwell among
men. I-tom a purely historical stand
point this is true. Jesi! s Christ is tht
lntiL'e of Jiistnry and the hop. .u-
world. The establishment of a.,
lions and cities the dates of all bath s
and th e birth of all men are computed
so many ytarj before or after Christ.
Foretold by- one prophet after’ an-
Otlier. even tu the place of His birth
and the manner of His life and death,
the saddest fact in history is this:
"Me cam c unto his own and his own
received him not."
It i* with reverent hearts that mil
lions havt turned their attention back
to the little town of Bethlehem—back
to tile inn in which there was no room
for Him and Ifis Mother—hack to the
stable with the star above it—back to
the shepherds watching by night—back
to tht Wise mtn on their camels—hack
to old Herod with murder in his heart
and a lie on hi s lips—back to the angels
singing in tht sky—back to th £ Little
Child wrapped in swaddling clothes
lying in a manger; and as the story
is told there is a tstirring in the breas's
of tile humble and the down-troddrn
and their courage is renewed 1 ik_ tile

world would he without the Spirit of
Christ in it ? You who tin not believe

Movement To Restore Regions Repute
tlon For Cotton Fiber Of Superior
Length and Strength Is
Now On
By C. A. WHITTLE
For a long time North Georgia cot
ton meant a staple of an inch and bet
ter, silky and strong,— a cotton with n
world-wide reputation. Buyers were
eager to get it—so eager that they were
willing to pay a premium for it.
But a change has come about Buy
ers are finding It difficult to get old-
time North Georgia cotton. They must
have lint of good length, but they are
not able to find much of It In North
Georgia. Consequently the buyers are
going to Arkansas to get staple that
North Georgia can grow, has grown and
ought to he growing.
“Give us the length,” say tho millers,
“and we will pay more for the North
Goorgla cotton than for cotton of sim
ilar length grown anywhere else.”
Will North Georgia farmers take up
their offer?
When North Georgia fanners under
stand what must be done, it is believed
they will be eager to join In a united
effort to restore to North Georgia the
reputation which it has been losing.
Why have North Georgia cottons been
losing their length of staple? It is be
cause many different and Inferior
strains of cotton have been brought In
to the territory. These strains have
mixed 'with the old lino varieties to
produce a mongrel cotton that can no
longer yield the superior staple.
Realizing tho economic loss that thia
part of the south lr suffering as a con
sequence of this mhfortuqe, a campaign
has been inaugurated to help the farm
er got seed of varieties that will bring
North Georgia back unto its own. In
this campaign cotton buyers, barikers,
tho agricultural college with its county
agents, cotton mill men and - leading
fanners are joining.
To get right down to practical things,
tho Atlanta Commercial exchange In At
lanta has undertaken without expense
for Its service, to carry on a campaign
to interest bankers and business men in
each town to assist the farmer to pur
chase seed by extending loans or
credit.
In order that tho movement toward
bettor types of cotton may not go amiss,
the cotton buyers, after consulting agri
cultural authorities, cotton mill men and
farmers, have listed four leading va
rieties of cotton: Cleveland (any good
strain), College No. 1, Acala and Row-
den. All these varieties have ranked
at the top for quantity of yield, desir
able length of lint and adaptation to
boll weevil conditions in North Georgia.
In furtherance of its plans, the ex
change has undertaken to meet the
demand for coed of these varieties.
They have enlisted the-aid of the banks
and the Cotton Storage Finance Cor
poration, of Atlanta. The banks are to
finance the purchase nf 3eed for their
respective regions. The Cotton Storage
Finance Corporation offers free storage
space for accommodate ; the distribu-.
tion of seed from tho Atlanta headquar-
tors. 9
An important part of the campaign
is to get all the farmers of a com
munity (o use only one variety of cot-
r-.n. If tlii.; is d:;.ie. the seed will re
main pure and the exchange will be in
position to market these pure seed .to
advaiunge next year, and subsequent
years, if tho farmers so desire.
Farm era who wish to get seed of tho
varletie; mentioned may take the mat
ter up with their county agent, or local
bunker and arrange for a co-operative
order of ::o cl which the Atlanta Corn-
inertial exchange offers to fill without
cost for the sOi vice remlore.d.
Whai assurance has the farmer that
ha will : et a b: tier price Tor his cotton
if lie grows the beu'jr staple?
The best assurance is the record of
the price-, racaivrd each day on the
markets. Take t!:e government's report
of cotton sales in Caorgin November 1.
On the Atlanta market strict middling •
of 1 to 1 1/16 inch brought 26 cents,
strict middling 1 inch brought 25 3/8
cents, 7/8 to 1 inch 24 cents, 3/4 inch
22 3/4 cents.
When col ton cf the shorter grade
goes, on the market in North Georgia
It comes in contact with Chinese and
India cotton, cotter, that i3 raised by
cocly labor, the lowest paid labor in
thy world.
A recent trade roport showed that
