Try and pick the Grand Capital Prize winner now but don’t
i a quitter, "A Winner Never Quits. A Quitter Never Wins.”
Steam is up. the anchor has been
lifted, everything is ready, and the
good ship "Union Recorder” is all
«*t to start for Treasure Island with
une of the finest crews aboard that
could be wanted. The question now
is “Who will reach the goal first
and have the choice of what the
Treasure Chest holds?” Of course
that choice will be the beautiful “62”
Chrysler Sedan. Mrs. Dozier is lead
ing thji *
but k—
a i-ucr oi fact all the members
are bunched and only a few subscript
i credit.-; separate the eleven who
1 have reported. No doubt reports
from the other four will bt?*recelved
by Saturday for there are no slnck-
?sin this undertaking.
Credit. Highest Now
Never again will subscriptions
osnt more credits than they do dur-
ig this First Period and the ambiti
on member should need no further
nrimr to make these first few weeks
cord breakers. So far, the amount
f gross business turned in is less
tan it should be, however it is not
first few days that decide the
rize winners but consistent hnrd
ork every day, so perhaps cur dis
appointment will be overcome.
Be Big Week

Trove Hunt who is reully in earnest
her endeavor for one of the larg-
prizes will have a big report this

Tenth Congressman Amu Bill At
Cotton Speoliton. Forbids
Crop Goessing. Big Aid To
Southern Fanner
A bill described by its author as
designed to “wipe out the manipula
tion now being carried on by the
speculators" on the cotton exchange,
was introduced last week by Con
gressman Cnrl Vinson, Tenth District
representative.
The measure would combine essen
tial operating clauses of the cotton
futures act “together with the full
text” of the grain futures act as
“adapted to cotton exchanges.”
Vinson said the primary effort of
this would be to place conduct of
on exchanges under super
vision of the secretary of agriculture.
The bill also would prohibit, for
the purpose of publication, the trans
mission through the mails or by
other means of communication, any
private estimates of the acreage,
condition or probable yield of the
cotton crop.
Vinson said the bill also would
raise the standard of cotton to be
delivered on the exchange and pro
hibit the tender and repeated re-
tender of the same cotton.
He declared that the measure was
introduced because of the “wide
spread and persistent complaints that
have been received by congress re
gardiiig the disastrous manipulation
that has been and still is being prac
ticed on the cotton exchanges to the
pronounced detriment of the farm-
“This measure will wipe out the
manipulation now being carried on
by the speculators on the exchange
and in my judgment it will do more
to enable the farmers to secure jk re
munerative price for their cotton
tiu:n any of the proposed farm re
lief bills now pending b-'/fre con
gress.
“The price that the furnv r will re
ceive for his cotton will be more
bared on the law of supply and de
mand and not upon a price fixed by
the cotton manipulators."
