New Certificates
To be Issued - If
The Agriculture Adjustment
Administration has annou need
that all surplus cotton exemption
certificates outstanding at the end
of the cotton ginning season will
be recalled and in their stead new
certificates of a different color
and appearance will be issued for
the next year provided the Bank-
head cotton control act is made
effective for 1935.
I he decision to . surplus .
re issue \
certificates made in order to 1
was
avoid any confusion, and they
will be sent to the owners of the
original certificates or to those
persons who have come into legal
possession of the cf-rtificates by
purchase from the national cot
ton-exemption certificate pool or
who have secured certificates in
legal transfer in their own county.
The decision does not in any
way affect the right of a produ¬
cer to use his surplus certificates
in the event (hat the Bankhead
Act is effective next ye,ir as he
will be re-issued new certifficates
tc the exact amount of his unsold
surplus. It is merely a precauti¬
onary measure designed to make
certain that if need arises th^p
rightful owners of surplus 1934
certificates will have the use of
this in excess in 1935.
An announcement concerning a
referendum on the Bankhead cot¬
ton control measure is expected
soon.

Head River B. Y. P. U. gave a
wonderful program Sunday night
on the suqject: —“Christ Must
Reign in onr Home Life”. A home
may be only a cabin or a tent if
Christ and love live in the place,
and the finest mansion is only a
house "and not a home if love
and Christ do not abide there. I
know we are all much happier in
a home than just a house. So let
us all take Christ in our houses
no matter how fine or how sim- 1
pie and make homes out of them.
The Rev. Davis will preach for
us Saturday night and Sunday.
All come out and hear him.

Reviewing the objectives of the
recovery unit during its first fever¬

business organizations resulted in
the writing of many code pro¬
visions “which are of doubtful
.value and extremely difficult of
enforcement.’
Governor Talrnadge. in New
York said that the TV A
and the government aid to banks
were doubtful enterprises of the
adminisiiation.
“We would all be better off if
the government withdrew from
business.” he said. “They stall
should ext rcise those functions of
gov rnment aid, such as river
and harbor control, L-ut they
should rot compete with t h o s e
