COTTONS INCREASING

glory of former years, in the opin

cotton goods arc offering articles in
such beautiful weave, colors, and
smart designs. In addition, the
serviceability, ease of laundering,
and upkeep of cottons make them
more popular.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
LETTER FROM OUR
CONGRESSMAN
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.,
May 3, 1941.
My dear Constituents: As we
meet here each day in this beautiful
city, the most beautiful in the world
I think, with the wonderful green
ery of blossoming shrubs, trees and
flowers and the balmiest of wea
ther, it does seem a shame that most
all our efforts must be devoted, not
toward building roads and school
houses, and hospitals for the uplift
and progress of our people, but
toward the building of mighty en
gines and munitions of war for the
purpose of defending our country
from conquest by mad aggressor
nations of people whose whole aim
seems to he to accomplish the de
struction of all countries except
their own.
What a pity it is that the four
teen nations of free people who
have fallen as victims to the greed
and lust of war mad Germany,
could not have joined together from
the first in their resistance. May
God give us the vision and wisdom
to devise some means after ths bit
ter struggle ends to prevent the re
currence of such wars. Right now
it seems that the only way to pre
vent them is to be sufficiently arm
ed. We intend to do that, and when
this program on which we have
started is completed America will
be the strongest and mightiest in the
world.
We did turn aside from the de
fense program two days this week
to take up a joint resolution relat
ing to marketing quotas and loans
under the Agricultural Adjustment
Act. The resolution as finally pass
ed by the House provides a manda
tory loan by the Commodity Credit
Corporation equal to seventy five
per cent of the parity price of the
four major agricultural commodities
of this country, to-wit—cotton,
wheat, corn and tobacco. As the
parity price on cotton is approxi
mately sixteen cents per pound, the
resolution as passed by the House
will enable our farmers to receive
loans of from ll J /6 to 12 cents per
pound. When this resolution reach
es the Senate it is hoped that this
loan value will be increased to 85
per cent of parity.
Let me urge all our farmers to
pay strict attention to their cotton
acreage allotments this year as I
sincerely hope that each and every
one of them will be able to receive
this loan on their cotton. If the
market price is lower than the loan
of course all of us will desire the
loan, but unless we have complied
strictly with the rules and regula
tions of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act in connection with our
acreage allotments these loans will
not be available to us.
I was glad we were able to do
something for the furmers, although
I am not satisfied with what we did.
Under the circumstances now the
loan on agricultural commodities
should not be less than one hundred
per cent of parity.
We lost another valuable mem
ber of Congress this week. Repre
sentative Alonzo D. Floger of North
Carolina, who was killed in an au
tomobile collision in his home town
of Mount Airy the evening of April
30th. Mr. Floger had been in Con
gress since January 3, 1939 and was
a member of the Committee on
Banking and Currency.

Change to an Electric Range
and Take Life Easier
Why go on putting up with a smoky,
pokey, budget - breaking old stove
that steals your time and ruins your
disposition? Change to a thrifty,
penny-pinching Electric Range that
An Electric Range
Lets Freedom Reign
The modern Electric Range gives you anew
freedom from kitchen cares. Its cleanliness
saves many weary hours of scouring flame
scarred pots and pans. Its automatic features
allow you to cook entire meals from start to
finish without attention. You can leave your
home for hours and find the meal perfectly
cooked and ready to serve when you return.
HERE’S HOW UTILE IT COSTS
TO COOK EIECTRICUIY
Electric Cookery costs only a few pennies a day.
For example: If your monthly electric bill now
runs about $3.00, you can add an FJectric Range
for about $2.60 a month running cost only a
day! Of course, it may cost you a trifle more or
less than this, depending on the size of your family
and how much rooking you do. Come by the City
Hall and let us estimate what it will cost you to
use an Electric Range.

There’s a Wealth of Health
In Foods Cooked Electrically
Because Electric heat is constant, unvarying
heat, you can cook with little or no water. Foods
steam in their own juices, retain their full, rich
flavor and lose few of their health-giving vita
mins and minerals which are often lost in boiling.
