Thursday, March 12, 1931 Gastonia Has Good Cotton Show GASTONIA, N. C„ March 7.— Climaxing an intensive “Wear Cot ton” campaign inaugurated here several months ago, to stimulate the use of all kinds of cotton goods, there was held here yesterday and today a Cotton Festival, perhaps the most unique of its kind ever staged in the South. Thousands of people from the Piedmont Caro- linas came last night to witness a style show which consisted of a most elaborate display of the lat- e*t and most fashionable women’s garments, modeled by more than seventy beautiful Southern girls who acted as mannikins for the merchants and manufacturers. Special features of the style show were addresses made by Dr. W. H. Frazer, D. D., L. L. D., a na tive of Alabama, but at present the President of Queens-Chicora Col lege, Charlotte, N. C., and Dr. Dav id R. Coker, L. L. D., Ph. D., of Hartsville, S. C., who is Imown over the entire South as having done more to help the fanner than any living man or organization. Co-operating with the Gastonia Woman’s Club in presenting this Cotton Fashion Show were the Cotton-Textile Institute of New York and the Durene Association ef America, headquarters New York, and a large number of Car olina merchants. The above or ganizations sent personal represen tatives to assist in preparing dis plays and putting on the Cotton Festival. t . • At the suggestion of the Gas tonia Woman’s Club, which inaug urated and is now sponsoring the “Wear Cotton” campaign, about 10,000 letters from various business organizations in Gastonia, N. C., hav& been sent within the past ten days to the twelve Southern cot ton growing states, telling of this campaign and asking that the same idea be used to forward the use of cotton in those states. The Gastonia Woman’s Club has also written a personal letter to the President of every woman’s organ ization in these twelve states. Each letter sent out was accompanied by & pamphlet explaining the ob jects ancf details of this “Wear Cotton” campaign and urging the recipient to help the South become “cotton-minded.” This is the first general South wide campaign ever put on by any organization to boost the uses and beauties of cotton fabrics. It is being done as an educational fea ture to give some idea to the con sumer as to the uses of cotton, the beauties of cotton fabrics, and their manner of style and charms. It is expected that before the sea son has gotten well under way the effects of this campaign will not only have reached every point in the South, but will have penetrated the Northern and Eastern resorts, where styles are always the pre dominant note among fashionable society.

Note that Camels are completely en closed in an outer transparent cover of moisture-proof cellophane and sealed air-tight at every point. We call this outer shell the Humidor Pack. It differs from the ordinary cello phane pack and while it is egg-shell thin, it means a lot in terms of cigarette enjoyment. It means, for instance, that evapora tion is checkmated and that Salt Lake City can now have as good Camels as Winston- Salem.

It prevents the fine tobaccos of Camels from drying out and losing any of their delightful flavor. Aside from cheap tobacco, two fac tors in a cigarette can mar the smoker’s pleasure: Fine particles of peppery dust if left in the. tobacco by inefficient cleaning methods sting and irritate delicate throat membrane. Dry tobaccoy robbed of its natural moisture by scorching or by evapora tion gives off a hot smoke that burns the throat with every inhalation. We take every precaution against these factors here at Winston- Salem. A special vacuum cleaning apparatus removes dust and now the new Humi dor Pack prevents dryness.

Camels are full-bodied and pliable. A dry cigarette crumbles under pressure and sheds tobacco. If you will hold a cigarette to each ear and roll them with your fingers you can actually hear the difference. The real test of course is to smoke them. And here’s where the new Humidor Pack proves a real blessing to the smoker. As you inhale the cool, fragrant smoke from a Camel you get all the mildness and magic of the* fine tobaccos of which it is blended. But when you draw in the hot smoke from a dried cigarette see how flat and brackish it is by comparison and how harsh it is to your throat. If you are a regular Camel smoker you have already noticed what proper condition of the cigarette means. But if you haven’t tried Camels in the new Humidor Pack you have a new adventure with Lady Nicotine in store. Switch your affections for just one day, then go back to your old love tomorrow if you can. B. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, fFinoton-Salem, JY. C. * smoke a Fresli cigarette! HENRY W. GRADY ON COTTON (The Augusta Chronicle.) Suspends Sentence Of McCormick Man Governor I. C. Blackwood on Fri day granted a suspension of sen tence to Frank Hodges of McCor mick after he had served three months of an eight months’ term on gang for violation of the liquor laws. The suspension is upon the condition of good behavior “Good, substantial citizens of high repute in his county,” the governor said, “assert that Hodges is not a regular bootlegger. The facts indicate that he was found with a small quantity of less than one quart on his person. ... It ap pears to me that three months is a reasonably sufficient punishment for this offense. • • . XX* There Is a reason for everything except people who try to be funny and aren’t. J It may tafct money toj make money, but it also takes money to lose money. Readers of The Chronicle have seen a great deal in this newspa per lately about meetings that have been held throughout this section urging the farmers to live at home and reduce their cotton acreage. What is being said now was said by Henry W. Grady, illus trious Southern editor, 44 years ago in a speech at Dallas, Texas, when the great Georgian reached supreme heights of oratory as he pleaded with his fellow men of the South not to depend upon a one crop system alone. Here is an extract from Grady’s Dallas speech, which is so splendid an example of oratory and patri otism that it will never die, and generations yet unborn will be taught the words of Grady: “No one crop will make a peo ple prosperous. If cotton held its monoply under conditions that made other crops impossible, or under allurements that made oth er crops exceptional, its dominion would be depotism. Whenever the greed for a money crop unbalances the wisdom of husbandry, the money crop Is a curse. When it stimulates the general economy of the farm, It Is the profit of farming. “To raise cotton and send its princely revenues to the west for supplies, would be misfortune if soil and climate forced such a curse. When both invite inde pendence, to remain in slavery is a crime. To mortgage our farms for money with which to buy meat and bread from western cribs and smoke-houses, is folly unspeak able. “When every farmer in the South shall t eat bread from his own fields and meat from his own pastures and disturbed by no creditor and enslaved by no debt, shall sit 1 among his steeming gardens and ! orchards and vineyards and dairies and barnyards, pitching his crops in his own wisdom and growing them in independence, making cotton his clean surplus, and sell ing it in his own time and in his chosen market and not at a mas ter’s bidding—getting his pay in cash and not in receipted mortgage that discharges his debt, but does not restore his freedom—then shall be breaking the fullness of our day. “Great is King Cotton; but to lie at his feet while the usurer and grain-raiser bind us in sub jection, is to invite the contempt of man aAd the reproach of God.' But to stand up before him, and amid the crops and smoke-houses wrest from him the magna charta of our independence, and to estab lish in his name an ample and diversified agriculture, that shall honor him while it enriches us— this is to carry us as far in the way of happiness and independ ence as the farmer, working in the fullest wisdom and in the richest field, can carry any people.” Certainly nothing that has been said since or was said before Grady could equal this. He was telling the farmers of the South in 1887 just what we are telling them now, but they did not heed him, and hence our economic distress. How ever, Henry W. Grady did not have the boll weevil to help his message along. X Experiments to determine the relative feeding value of alfalfa meal and alfalfa hay show that grinding the hay does not alter its composition, and although the feeding value is usually increased somewhat, this may not be suffi cient to pay for the cost of grind ing. The chief advantages of the meal are that it is more conven ient form and is fed with less waste than hay. Thei* is also con siderable reduction on, freight charges for shipping long dist ances.

It is possible to prevent the for mation of destructive and waste ful gullies in any region in the South where Bermuda grass will grow. When planted in newly formed or even in old and large gullies, it catches the washed- down soil, holds it in place, and stops the gullies. Planting this grass in newly formed gullies will soon smooth them off. Bermuda grass will also protect levees from washing. This grass grows well on almost any soil which is fertile and not too wet, but it does better on heavy soils. 666 LIQUID or TABLETS Cure CoId T Headaches, Fever ^ 6 6 6 SALVE . CURES BABY’S COLD Battery Brooding Proper feeding is important in battery brooding of poultry, since the chicks have no chance to get the green feed, minerals, and in sects usually picked up on range. Feed the chicks an all-mash ration which should include minerals, milk, and some substitute for green feed-alfalfa meal, for example. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has obtained excellent growth ini chicks confined to brooder houses on the following all-mash ration: 40 per cent yellow com meal, 22 per cent ground wheat, 10 per cent corn gluten meal, 10 per cent dried buttermilk, 10 per cent meat scrap, 3 per cent fine oyster shell, 2.5 per cent alfalfa-leaf meal, 2 per cent yeast, and 5 per cent salt. The department recommends add ing from 1 to 2 per cent cod-liver oil (mixed fresh in the ration ev ery 10 days). Cod-liver oil pre vents leg weakness caused by lack of vitamin D and sunlight.
