Since the armistice convention end

CREDIT FOR GREAT WORK
Just How Much of Sum Raised
Will Remain Here For Local

The public generally will be inter
ested in learning that at the latest
count Red Cross subscriptions re
ceived in the recent roll call has
reached and slightly passed the
thousand dollar goal se by the gener
al chairman and her committee,, and
when the few outstanding pledges
have been redeemed there will be
,a safe margin over SI,OOO. This
count does not include St. Simon
nor a few scattered memberships
which one is yet to hear from: so it
may 1 be seen thht Brunswick l<as
assumedly .gone “over the top” in her
1923 roll call-
It is impossible to state at the pres
ent just what proportion of the money
raised will remain in Brunswick for
local chapter work as the cards have
not been tabulated ,btit since only,
fifty percent of all memberships in
cluding those of $5.0. and SIO.OO, and
quite a number of the latter have
been received, goes to headquarters
for national relief work, there will
be sufficient left in the local treas
ury to carry on effectively the splen
did program of work begun last year.
The general chairman desires to
give credit, for the splendid success
of the 1923 roll call not only to
the excellent and efficient committee
who worked so willingly and untiring

Brungwickian s who cheerfly opened
their hearts and their poeketbooks

convening of the 67th congress in

precedent at least in American his

be determined on the senate floor
whether the day would see another
smashed.
The extra session, called by Presi
dent Harding primarily to consider
the administration ship subsidy hill,
will be the regular session to follow
immediately after, insures a record
(Continued on Page 3.)
j likely that the Senate bill will be con
i sidered in an effort to save time.
The bill providing a world census
of cotton has the support of the
; America n Cotton Association; Secre
! tary Hoovtr. and many cotton grow-
I ers, both large and small, as Senator
! Karris contends a report of the ac
tual amount of cotton in the w'orld
will show a shortage which will heln
the price now depressed becaus e of
uncertain data.
The changes in the Federal Ware
house Act will strengthen th P ware
house receipt, according to Senator
Harris, and advances may be secured
from banks with the receipts a s se
curity. If will also Permit such pro
ducts as peanuts, beans and cotton

ance rates would be reduced and
cheaper interest rates would be avail
able, according to supporter,, of the
Harris bill. Secretray Wallace is
suPnorting the bill. ,
The effort to secure estimates of
th e cotton crop at the same time a®
the actual ginning figure s will fur
nish the best information obtainable
according to Senator Harris, and the
publication of data by both the Bu
reau of Crop Estimates and the Cen
sus Bureau at the same time will af
ford information for the entire cur
rent crop. The Georgia Senator con
tends that th P Wall street gamblers
use the partial figures now issued by
the Government to'depress the price,
and if all of th e information was
made public at the sam e time It would
be possible to use the ginning figures
and the estimates to the estimat
ed total crop.
Senator Harri s is a member of the
agricultural “bloc” which has actively
sought much legislation during the
present Congress, and the “bloc” in
the senate is behind th e Harris hills,
