Dr Andrew
The Georgia Cotton Growers Co
operative Association Agreement
(Note:* This is the standard agree
ment being proposed for several
cotton growing states.)
Numerous requests have been re
ceived for information relative to
the various plans of marketing cot
ton which are now being proposed
and discussed throughout the south.
To gather this data together in a
brief and concise form is a rather
difficult undertaking. In view of the
importance of the subject, however,
it has been considered well worth
while to perform such a service in
the interest of our cotton growers.
On that account the following data
has been assembled and correlated
by Prof. M. C. Gay, in charge of
the marketing work of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, and
is presented for the information of
all who may be concerned. This is
the only summary, in so far as
the writer knows, which has ever
been made of the main plans now
being considered. The methods pro
posed are outlined in sufficient de
tail to make the functioning of the
organizations which are to be creat
ed clear to the average reader.
Study and compare these plans care
fully and you can then judge for
yourselves of their merits, the at
titude you ■will feel individually
like assuming toward them and the
probability of their being put in
•uccessful operation in your com
munity.
The question of marketing cotton,
of course, is a very live issue at
the present time. Everyone recog
nizes there are abuses in the trade,
that certain practices should be
eliminated, and that we should make
systematic efforts towards the han
dling of our main money crop on
a more satisfactory basis. The ques
tion at issue is what plan to
adopt and how to proceed to ef
fect the desired end.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
the annual greeting
When the 25th of August rolled in
I remembered I had been in the
service of the semi-weekly and tri
weekly Atlanta Journal for twenty
two years. I began at the beginning
of the semi-weekly in the year 1889
—and I am still writing articles for
the Country Home column, as the
readers of the tri-weekly can testify.
In all these twenty-two years I have
occupied my little pulpit (so to
speak) and have discoursed on cur
rent events and furnished my indi
vidual views and opinions—to be
printed twice a week.
There are fifty-two weeks in a
calendar year, and I have furnished
at least 1,144 articles to be thus
printed. In truth, I have sent in
twice as many or more—sometimes
three articles in an issue. In all
these years we (The Journal and
myself) have worked along satisfac
torily—and I am here to say, The
Journal is a great paper, and worthy
of its justly-earned fame —and its
tri-weekly—which goes to South
America and to the Orient and all
over the United States, is the best
paper I have ever seen, considering
its size and its subscription price,
and the value of its contents. It is
a decent paper and can go into any
American home without danger to
the minds and morals of young per
sons.
I feel at liberty to say these
things because I have watched it
with loyal interest for twenty-two
years, and it has not allowed any
thing nasty or of doubtful origin
to appear in its columns, to its dis
credit. What it promises to do is
going to be done. What it promises
to pay to its many employes, is go
ing to be paid. It has weathered
the war-time pressure and is still on
deck with a flag of hope in its hands
—and solid Americanism as its
motto.
To me, in this continued service to
country homes and their interest,
this little pulpit (so to speak) has
been very pleasing as an opportunity
to keep in close touch with rural
communities, especially in Georgia.
I enjoy the friendship of the readers,
and hardly a day passes that I do
not get a letter (some times several)
from some one of these appreciative
readers asking for information or
thanking me for my affectionate let
ters in The Tri-Weekly Journal. I
hardly ever go to a public gathering
that somebody does not come up to
shake my hand and thank me. Hun
dreds have said to me, “my mother
has been reading after you since I
was a child and always turned to
your country home page when the

The Fear of Discovery.
THIS is the room,” and the
woman waved her bony hand
toward a narrow little cell
of a place which was hardly
more than a closet. It’ had the tradi
tional iron bed and chest of drawers,
with a mirror hanging over it sus
pended on a frayed cord. The win
dow looked out on the back yards
of the houses on the next street. Ex
cepting for its size it wasn’t so bad
—very little worse than the condi
tions Harriet had been accustomed
to for the last year while Barry was
trying to make good. But, then, she
had had Barry’s coming home each
evening to look forward to, and their
love had made the humble little flat
seem almost beautiful.
“This is fine,” Harriet said with an
attempt at a smile. She had pushed
back her heavy veil and her face
looked very white and tired. But the
woman hardened her heart.
‘‘Terms strictly in advance,” she
repeated harshly.
"Oh, yes, how much is it, please?”
Harriet fumbled for her pocketbook.
Besides the money pinned inside her
dress she had some ready cash that
she felt Would be enough to pay for
a week in this dreary room.
“Fourteen dollars, three meals a
day. This is not a rooming house. We
set a very good table.” She softened
somewhat when she saw that Harriet
had money to pay for the room, and
even went so far as to ask her with
real sympathy if she were out of a
job.
“Yes, but I have some money
saved.” And again Harriet smiled
as she counted out the bills into the
woman’s hand.
“You won’t have no trouble gettin’
another place, a likely lookin’ young
thing like you,” she vouchsafed, her
bony hand closing over the money.
Then Harriet heard her clumping
down the stairs, and she was alone
at last—alone to try to make her
tionate share of the expenses of the
exchange.
11. The prorating and apportion
ment of expenses as determined by
the exchange shall be conclusive.
Note—The above are the essen
tials of the plan. Many of the minor
details are not discussed.

ganizing- Cotton Marketing- Asso
ciaHon as Suggested by U. S. Bu
reau cf Markets.
Form local association admit
ting 1 into the membership growers
and persons receiving cotton as rent
for use of Hand. Each member should
pay an initiation fee and give a
promissory note to be used in paying
liquidated damages in case of breach
of contract. A grower’s contract is
required, this to be subject to the
usual withdrawal privileges.
2. The local association shall have
officers and a board of directors.
The board of directors shall be elect
ed by the members. A manager is
employed by the directors.
3. Any member having a griev
ance against the association can ap
peal to the board of directors.
4. The board of directors may de
termine such pooling periods as they
see fit from time to time, and the
cotton belonging to any member in a
given pool is settled for on the basis
of the average price received for
cotton of same grade, quality and
staple in the same pool.
5. The books of the association
are to be audited quarterly by audi
tors selected from the membership.
Central Cotton Marketing Associa
tion
1. The local associations described
above may federate into a central
Belling association. The members of
the local organizations sign a con
tract with the central organization.
2. The expenses of the central as
sociation are borne by the locals in
proportion to the business trans
acted for each.
3. Representativves of the local
association will elect a board of di
rectors for the central organization.
The directors employ a manager and
have supervision of the affairs of
the association.
4. The central organization mar
kets the cotton for the local organ
izations. Pooling periods are deter
mined by the board of directors.
Note—The above is for a non
stock, non-profit associaion. The
bureau has suggested a plan for a
co-operative association formed with
capital stock. In this case, the stock
is allowed to earn whatever interest
the directors may designate, within
the limits of the law. Any addi
tional earnings are to be distributed
as patronage dividends.
Many minor details are not given
above. The essential differences in
this and the other plans are: (1)

Autumn Is Approaching
A week ago the torrid summer
heat and hot nights were very en
ervating especially to sick people
apd very elderly persons. We had
lately a very hot day, with stifling
temperature and suddenly we had a
welcome downpour of rain.
The rain drops had hardly ceased
falling until the heat subsided and
the mercury dropped until I had to
sleep with a light quilt on my bed
that night. Since that time cool
nights have been the rule and for
three mornings I have had a little
fire in my heater in the room where
I do my writing. When the time
comes the seasons change with great
system and unfailing regularity.
In the spring the grass will be
gin to show up at the appointed
time, rain or shine, cold or hot. In
the autumnal time the cool nights
will come along, no matter how high
the thermometer rises in midday.
Usually we experience the regular
equinoctial storms, which naturally
cools the earth. It is booked to come
along about September 21, but it
generally gets in sooner, between
the last days of August and the
early September days.
The clouds will gather and gales
will prevail on sea and gulf coasts,
tides will rise and thundering waves
will wash over the exposed towns
and cities, along about this time of
the year. It very rarely misses its
regular time of appearance. It is
the farmers’ dread in hay making
and fodder pulling time. It is a
restless time with the elements and
if the weather man warns the people
that a big storm is ready to come
down on us, we should heed the
warning and put the hay and fodder
under shelter. The fall of the year
is now at hand.
plans for the days that were to fol
low.
After she had taken off her clothes
and crept shivering into bed her
thoughts kept whirling around in
her head. She could think of noth
ing but Barry—how much she loved
him and how much he meant to her.
Dear Barry, with his endearing boy
ishness, the comforting clasp of his
strong arms around her, shielding
and protecting her. She stretched
out her arms in the darkness and
touched only empty space, and she
cried herself finally into a' ex
hausted sleep.
Late in the night she awoke and
started up in sudden terroi - . Another
thought had, occurred to her. To
morrow, no doubt, the newspapers
would be full of the arrest and of
her own flight. Suppose the board
ing house woman should suspect her
and hand her over to the police?
That was a possibility. Her arrival
at the boarding house late at night
would tally exactly with the disap
pearance of the wife of tho embez
zler. Certainly there was little
enough excitement in the life of a
woman of this kind. She would en
joy being featured in the news
papers; she would lose ho time in
communicating with the authorities.
In sheer torture Harriet lay there
and suffered. She determined to get
up as soon as it was light and slip
away. She would have to sacrifice
the fourteen dollars, but that was
very little in comparison with the
danger of being discovered-
She determined to stay awake the
rest of the night, but in spite of her
self her eyelids kept drooping over
her tired eyes, and when ..lie finally
fell asleep she lay as if drugged,
dead to everything around her. The
milkman on his early trip down the
street rattled his pails and bottles,
but Harriet heard nothing. When she
finally opened her eyes she realized
that some one was pounding vigor
ously on her door. At first she was
bewildered at the strange surround
ings, and then suddenly she remem
bered everything, and with return
ing memory came the knowledge that
she had overslept.
Like a trapped thing she lay there
wondering what would happen now.
Chapter V
A Woman at Bay
THE door slowly opened and
a slatternly mald-of-all-work
stuck her head through the
small aperture. She stared
open-mouthed at Harriet, who sat up
in bed, the bedclothes drawn up to
her chin, staring wildly at the in
truder.
“It’s after 11 o’clock, ain’t you
never goin’ to get up?” the maid in
quired in a tired voice.
The relief was so great that in
spite of her mental anguish Harriet
broke into a soft laugh.
“Os course I’m going to get up,
and if you’ll give me five minutes
I’ll be dressed,” she said brightly.
The frowsy head was withdrawn
and Harriet hurriedly sprang out of
bed. As she got into her clothes the
fact was borne in on her that ho far
she was safe. Perhaps after all the
fact that she had overslept had been
for the best. If she had stolen away
in the early morning she might have
been suspected and traced. Perhaps
it was a good omen that prophesied
•uck in her venture.
Breakfast was over at the board
ing house, and Harriet had rolls and
coffee in a cheap little restaurant.
Then, armed with the morning pa
pers, she returned to her room and
locked the door.
Her hands trembled as she turned
to the first page of the Chronicle
Yes, there it was on the first page
crowding out the latest divorce scan
dal.

Wife Disappears.
Then followed an account of what
Barry had told her yesterday embel
lished with a lurid account of her
own disappearance and probable con
nection with the theft.
It was uncanny to be sitting here
in a cheap boarding house reading
about herself in the papers. One re
porter said that the police were al
ready on the trail of the wife and a
quick recovery of the money was ex
pected. Harriet tried to tell herself
that this was newspaper talk, but it
did no good. She had no Idea what
would happen to her if they discov
ered her now and the newspaper re
port sounded horribly convincing.
She tried to think -what to do.
Would it be better to stay where she
was and take the chance of being
discovered any minute, or to slip
away and find another place?
While she was thinking there came
another knock at her door, and her
heart leaped suffocatingly. She had
taken the precaution of turning the
key in the lock, and, hastily stuffing
all the papers but one into her suit
case, she went to the door and open
ed it.
The boarding-house woman stood
on the threshold. She peered curi
ously Into the room and nodded ap
provingly as she saw the newspaper
spread out on the bed.
“Looking for a job?’*
Harriet nodded.
"That’s right. I just came up to
tell you about meals. Breakfast at 8
sharp, dinner at 12, and supper at 6.
You didn’t come down for breakfast,
and lunch is about over.”
“I overslept,” Harriet stammered,
“I was so very tired. You see,” she
explained, growing more confident as

My Dear Children: Have you ever really thought about what

to yourself that one litle act of kindness froma friend or relative can
make a whole day happier for you. Knowing this, see if each day
can offer to some one else the sunshine of kindness.
Then think of the other side. What does unkiness mean? It
means a big ache for a long time, and I’m going to quote you a verse
from a poem I learned a long time ago:
“You would not hurt me, intentionally, true,
But it is not, O dearest, what you mean to do,
It’s what you do unthinking that makes the quick tears tsart—
The tears may be forgotten, but the hurt stays in the hear.”

you nothing. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.

I didn’t sleep at all on the train.”
She met the hard eyes with her

gave no sign of what was going on
in her mind, and Harriet could not
tell whether she suspected anything
or not

Pressure Is Used
To Have Beer Sale
Regulations Issued
WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—Pressure
was brought to bear on the Harding
administration today to force the
issuance of regulations allowing the
sale of medicinal beer.
The fight is led by a powerful
group of senators. Behind them is
the combined strength of all the
liberal organizations in the country.
"The regulations are being illegal
ly withheld," declared Senator
Broussard, of Louisiana, “and I pro
pose to find out why.”
Secretary Mellon, in holding up
the beer regulations, announced that
the anti-medicinal beer bill, still
hanging fire in the senate, clearly
indicated the intent of congress on
the question.
H|pacpf9ereditJ)s Advice
I am coming to you my third time
for advice and have not seen any in
print. Any advice will be appreciat
ed. lam near : 18, am going with a
boy 23, have been going together
nearly 3 years. I love him better
than any one else, and he says the
same of me. He says if he does not
marry me he will never want any one
else, and I feel the same way by him.
He came to see me twice a month un
til about a month ago and he is
afraid to come so much now because
It seems as if some one is trying to
break us up by telling rumors on
him, and we don’t know who it is.
They have turned my people against
him and don’t want me to go with
him, but he talks to me when he sees
mb at other places. Do you think he
loves me? He is a nice boy, but my
people object to my marrying Kim.
Would you advise me to marry now
or later on or never? Though we in
tend to marry some day I go with
other boys and I know they love me
dearly, but. I cannot love them. I
love this one to the bottom of my
heart. Please answer through the
next Journal.
WORRIED VIOLET.
There is no reason why you
should worry if this boy is a gen
tleman and treats you as a lady.
You need’nt pay any attention to
idle gossip, but if there is any
doubt in "your” mind as to his
moral character, it is best to
cease all friendship with him.
Look carefully into his character
before allowing yourself to be
come too deeply in love with him.
And if he is not a fit companion
for you be wise and give him up.
Don’t get the idea that every boy
is In love with you who tells you
so. “It doesn’t mean anything.”
Be honest and sincere with your
self.
I have been reading your good ad
vice to boys and girls and I
decided I would apply to you for ad
vice. It does not contain love at all.
I am a boy 17 years old. I stay on
the farm, but I do not admire the
farm. I desire to be a mechanic. Do
you know where I can get a job in
Atlanta or not? I would like a job
in a garage, but if you know where
there is a job doing most anything it
will suit me right now, for I want to
leave the farm. Hoping to see this in
print. Your advice certainly will be
appreciated. Thanking you •in ad
vance. J. D. D.
There isn’t any way I can help
you except by giving you ad
dress of the “Commercial Em
ployment Exchange, 318 Metro
politan building, Forsyth and
Luckie street, Atlanta.” Write to
this place and find out if they
put you in touch with the line of
work you are seeking. Use pen
and ink when writing. Send ad
dressed, stamped envelope for re
ply. ’ Address letter to them as
above.
I am a lonely girl 18 coming to
you for a little advice. I married
a boy and he had no love for me and
I got to where I cared nothing for
him, so we separated. I am now in
love with a boy age 27. I dearly
love him and I believe he loves me.
I know I can never live happy with
out him. But my mother objects to
my going with him. He said he
would get my divorce for me if I
would marry him this fall. What
would you advise me to do, Now
your very best advice will be a—>re
ciated. Thanking you in advance. I
would like to see this in next issue
of The Tri Weekly. Print my name.
LONELY LITTLE JESSEUM.
If you didn’t love your hus
band and he didn’t love you, both
’ of you are better off apart. A di
vorce is the proper -thing. And
if you have since realized you
love another man and this man
is worthy of you and he loves
you and wants you to marry him
you may yet know true happiness.
On the other hand, don’t make the
same mistake twice. Be sure
you know what you are doing arid
try to do the right thing. Mar
riage is sacred and you should
know by this time how easy it
is to marry and how hard it is to
undo the marriage ties.
Your advice to boys and girls is
quite interesting, and I have been
benefited very much by reading it.
I am also coming to you for ad
vice, but not about boys.
I am eighteen years of age, and
finished the tenth grade when I was
sixteen.
I have not been to school since,
as my parents are not able (finan
cially) to send me.
Do you know of any place where I
could work my way through school,
or would you adviSe me to take a
business course somewhere?
I do not care anything about the
boys except as friends, though 1
have a few correspondents and I let
my mother read all of my letters.
Am I right in doing this? (I mean
do you think it Is fair to the boys?)
Would appreciate any advice you
may give. lam WILD ROSE.

MOTHER
Tells Childless Women what Lydia

Did for Her
Millston, Wis.—“l want to give
you a word of praise for your won-
m derful medicine.
I We are very fond
I of children and for
I a considerable
I time after we mar
ried I feared I
would not have
any owing to my
weak condition. I
began taking
Lydia E. Pink-
I ham’a Vegetable
I Compound and
JI now I have a nice
IiHIIIIes
strong, healthy baby girl. I can hon
estly say that I did. not suffer much
more when my baby was born than
I used to suffer with my periods be
fore I took Lydia E. Pinkhata’s Vege
table Compound years ago. I give
all the credit to your medicine and
shall always recommend it very
highly.”—Mrs. H. H. Janssen, Mill,
ston, Wisconsin.
How can women who are weak and
sickly expect or hope to become
mothers of healthy children? Their
first duty is to themselves. They
should overcome the derangement or
debility that is dragging them down,
and strengthen the entire system, as
did Mrs. Janssen, by taking Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
give their children the blessing of a 1
good constitution.
