| No Cotton Price Fixing Yet In
• 'Atlanta.—Commissioner of
ture J. J. Brown, on his return from
j Washington, where, as president, of the
j cotton states advisory
board, ho attended conferences yith
Southern senators and representatives
relative to price fixing, gave out a
statement in which lie expressed the
opinion th there will be no arbitra¬
ry price fixed on this year's cotton
crop. Ho also gives assurance that
the representatives of the cotton grow¬

He predicts that if the farmer will
hold his cotton in the seed for a short

law of supply and demand is left un¬
hampered, cotton will bring around 40
cents a pound in less than twenty

THE CLEVELAND COTFRrER. CLEVELAND GEORGIA
Working On Big Munition Plant
Brunswick.—Some idea of the mag¬
nitude of the work now going on at
the big picrid acid plant in this city
may be gleamed from the fact that
at present there is arriving on tht site
an average of one hundred cars of
freight every day. They come from
every section of the county and bring
every kind of material imaginable.
Since the arrival in the city of 1,000
soldiers from Camp Gordon, together
with many laborers from various sec¬
tions of Georgia and Florida, the work
has been speeded up. At present sev¬
eral hundred men are engaged in
building two complete towns—one for
colored workers and another for
whites. The settlements are about
one mile apart, and when completed
will offer every attraction to the work¬
ers. There will be about sik hundred
houses for the colored workers, and
not quite so many for white people.
The house for white, however, will be
larger. At present the men are quar¬
tered in bunkhouses. The settlements
will not only include neat and com¬
fortable houses, but there will be
churches, amusement places, moving
pictures, shows, etc., as well as good
schools. A large commissary, where
every article, will be sold at actual
cost to the employees, is now in
course of construction. Every other
advantage will be offered the men who
are engaged in work on the plant and
those who will be employed perma¬
nently.

NOTHING BUT PROXY SALUTE
But Wounded Officer Appreciated
Kiss That Came With War Cross
That He Had Won.
An officer, writing from a hospital
in France, tells how a French officer
pinned a war cross on his pajamas,
and how, without any warning, one of
the nurses hurried to his bedside and
planted “a nice rosy kiss on the ugly
mug of yours truly.” There is no rea¬
son to believe that is is a love affair.
Doubtless it was a proxy kiss—it rep¬
resented the feminine members of his
family.
Fiction nurses have been of one
kind. In the illustrations they were
strangely beautiful. Always their
hands were cool and their uniforms
fresh. Some young millionaire had
been picked up and carried to the hos¬
pital where the nurse fought for his
life-grim deatli stalking just behind
the door. His identity was not known,
but he was a man, wide of shoulder
and small of girth. He had a flat
I hack and his dose-cropped hair was
inclined to he curly. By and by he
became rational. The first thing lie
realized was the cooling touch of the
nurse’s hand on his feverish brow.
But why continue? He always mar¬
ried her, and they live happily ever
after.
SKIN ERUPTIONS ON THE FACE
are unsightly and mar the appearance j
of many a woman whose face would
be otherwise attractive. There is no j
j need for this. Just get a box of Tet
terine and use it regularly and you will
: be surprised how quickly pimples, j
blotches, itchy patches, etc., disappear
and bow soft and clear the skin be¬ |
i comes. Nothing better for eczema and
j other skin troubles than Tetterine. !
