FARMERS GETTING ADVANCE
OF 10 CENTS ON COTTON UN
DER FEDERAL PLAN

PRICE INCREASES
SCORED BY BORAH
SENATOR FROM IDAHO DE
CLARES HIGH PRICES HAVE
HELD BACK BUYING. PUBLIC
EXPLOITED, HE SAYS
Parma, Idaho. —Senator William
E. Borah (Republican, Idaho,) Sun
day night demanded restoration and
enforcement of the anti-trust laws
as a curb on “prices fixed by com
i
bines and monopolies” and coupled
with it an attack on inflation.
He declared the administration’s
“buy now” campaign “is not pro
gressing at all,” and asserted the
“controlling reason is the prices
which confront the buyer.”
Speaking before an assembly of
residents of this rural community on
the Boise river, the senator declared
the “buy now” campaign was “in
fact receding.”
“The sales volume as shown by
experts,” he continued, “is signifi
cantly unfavorable. There is perhaps
more than one reason for this, but
controlling reason is the prices which
confront the buyer.
“Many of these prices are high
beyond all reason and conscience. If
they were ‘Blue Eagle’ prices, it
would make this bird a bird of prey
instead of bird of protection. They
are in many instances, in my judg
ment, the prices fixed by combines
and monopolies, sheltered by the
broad wings of the double-headed
eagle. Hiding behind- the increase of
labor and the processing tax, making
these an excuse, prices have been
pushed up beyond all reason. There
fore, when people are urged to buy
they are really urged to buy, in many
instances, at monopolistic prices.”
Asserting “the world has been
astounded that the United States
should have from 10 to 12 million
men and women out of employment,”
he went on to say that “perhaps an
explanation of that may be found
in the fact that even in the years of
1926, 1927 and 1928, the golden
years we are striving to recover,
there were 75 million people in the
United States that had an annual in
come to less than SBOO a year.”

day morning, the First Baptist church
of Jackson extended a call to Rev.
R. B. Harrison, of Devereaux, to be
come pastor of the local church.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison came to

Mr. Harrison, who is a graduate

SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY
PLEASANT GROVE NOV. 12
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SES
SION BE HELD NOVEMBER 12.
SEVERAL SPEAKERS ON THE
PROGRAM
A rally for all Sunday School
workers in the churches of all do
nominations in Butts county will be
held in Pleasant Grove Congrega
tional Methodist church next Sunday
afternoon and evening.
The meeting is under the auspices
of the Georgia Sunday School Asso
ciation, a state organization with
headquarters in Atlanta. This asso
ciation is a co-operative effort of ali
denominations to help and extend
church work in all parts of the state.
It is the only organization which aims
to help every Sunday school. It has
functioned in this capacity for over
67 years.
It stands for only those things
which are common to all Sunday
Schools. Its conventions, rallies and
conferences discuss methods of work,
not doctrines; it seeks helpful coop
eration, not union; therefor it helps
many and hinders none.
It is hoped that all pastors and
superintendents will arrange for
their workers to attend. Everyone is
asked to bring a pencil, note books
will be furnished by the state work
ers.
The afternoon program will begin
at 2 o’clock Central Standard time,
and the evening session at 6:30.
Among the speakers will be Mrs.
J. J. Simpson and Frank J. Watson,
associate superintendents of the
Georgia Association, Mr. A. M.
Smith, deputy clerk of Fulton Su
perior Court; Dr. Roland R. Stoker,
all of Atlanta, and others.
A most interesting and instructive
program is being arranged, and a
large attendance is expected.
The state workers have held more
than 175 Sunday school meetings
over the state this year, and many
have been the glowing words of com
mendation of the efforts of those in
charge.
