*’\ > > An Appalling Situation ^
^ mrwm j0Vm*- ’
The South is face to face with a
most appalling situation, if reports
sent out from Washington are true—
and they must .be true, since the
President of the United States has
seen fit to call on the public health
service and the American Red Cross
to investigate the threatened “plague,
and famine” in the cotton belt, a
direct result of low-priced cotton.
It was bad enough when thousands
of cotton growers saw their year’s
work, and in many instances the ae
cummulation of other years of work,
go for naught when the price of cot
ton dropped from 43 cents last July
to the ten-cent level. But it is in
finitely worse to know that 100,000
persons in the South are victims of
pellagra because they are unable to
sell their cotton and thereby pur
chase necessary food supplies—and
last and worst of all, that 10,000 of
these victims will succumb to the
disease.
It seems almost incomprehensible
that such a condition could exist
right here in our own country—the
country that has been contributing
millions upon millions of dollars to
the relief o^ peoples in other lands
during the past few yean. And re
lief is not yet in sight. With the
price of cotton already below the
cost of production again this year,
the bear* are making almost daily
nids upon the market and hammer
ing the price still lower. What is
going to be the result? No one can
tell. Self-preservntiton is the first
law of nature, however, and people,
made desperate by the pinch of
“hard-tunes," will not stop at mur
der to obtain money with which to
buy the necessities of life, as evi
denced by the tragedy Monday after
noon near Barnwell, when a white
man was forced to take the life of a
would-be murderer in the defense of
hi* own. Surely tiose responsible
for the depressed condition of the
cotton market should be proud of
tbeir work!
* The South is not asking for charity
at the hands of the national gover-
ment. All that is wanted is an op
portunity to sell its product* at a
price that will enable the producers
tj buy at least thy necessities of
life.

T HIS is the reason why cooking with
a New Perfection is so easy and
successful.' You can regulate the heat
accurately to v ithin a few degrees every
time you bake a particular kind of pastry
or cook a roast.
In«tead cf the old way of “rur.hinj» the fire” and
more often than not bumin w your cuke*, a little
experience with n New Fcrfcction.wi!l show you
how easy it is to get turceuful demit* uniformly.
^You can adiust the heat in a second where it
take* several minutes with the draft and damper
method of a coal rstnge.

and wood carrvti'g ur.d a!’. thcTTTier and bother
that go w ith them. Their kitchens are more com
fortable fo work in,' too, especially during warm
weather.
Another featureof the New Perfection is its long
blue chimney. This drives clean, sootless heat
against the cooking utensils with an extremely
small loss by radiation. You can always seethe
flame through the little mica door.
The four-burner sire equipped with warming
cabinet and New Perfection Oven is the most
popular. But you can obtain a five, three, two
or onc-bumcr sire if you prefer.

Thus spoke the man who was asked to settle a bill that he claim
ed to have paid a month previously. He had placed the receipt in
his pocket with other papers and now could not find it.
He had paid cash, so could do nothing except pay the bill,a sec
ond time. That man learned a lesson from this incident—he^ow
\ ‘ : » : .... i.. ' • ^ .
pays all his bills by check. In case of dispute about a paid bill, he
can now use his cancelled checks as proof of payment.
Do YOU pay By check? It is the safe and businesslike way<-
