STH GRADE STUDENTS
WRITE SPRING POEMS
Spring comes but once a year,
And we like it to come here,
We can play in the sun,
And can have lots of fun.
We oan play all day,
And be out of the way.
We like to climb,
We see lots of time.
Clinton Jackson,
Alamo sth grade.
Spring is a delightful time,
Because we can run and climb,
Spring has delightful showers,
And they bring all kinds of
flowers,
They are the lovelist sight,
The birds are singing, singing,
singing,
They sound like sweet chimes
ringing, ringing, ringing,
The flowers peep through the
ground,
To look at the beautiful world all
around.

HOUSE GETS PENALTY TM MEASURt
EG WE OSE Os COTTON IN PM
Fulmer Bill—Seeking To Provide 3,000,000-Bale Annual
Market Would Put Prohibitive Excise on
Pulp Not Containing Lint
Washington, April 26.—Legis
lation which would virtually
force the use of cotton in the
production of paper, rayon and
synthetic fibers consumed in
this country was offered yester
day in the house as a solution of
the cotton surplus problem.
The proposal, by Chairman
Fulmer, Democrat, South Caro*
lina, of the house agriculture
cotton sub-committee, would
place a “prohibitive” excise tax
on pulp products which did not
contain percentages of cotton.
The tax, which would range
upwards from 16 to 45 per cent
of the value of the pulp, would
be imposed on newsprint and
paper board if the pulp did not
contain at least five per cent
cotton fiber; on other papers if it
did not contain at least 10 per
cent cotton, and on rayon, cello*
phane and plastic if the cotton
content was below 15 per cent.
Fulmer estimated such a tax
would require the use of at least
3,000,000 additional bales an*
nually.
“The inroad on cotton con*
sumption in the United States
largely by paper and rayon is
primarily responsible for our
cotton situation,” he said.
Executive Secretary Charles
Boyce, of the American Paper
and Pulp Association, comment*
ing on Fulmer’s proposal, said a
part of the paper industry al
ready had considered using
cotton in making its products.
He said he wanted to study the
proposed legislation before giv*
ing additional comment.
Fulmer said the excise tax
would be imposed on imported
pulp products which did not
contain American cotton. He ad
ded this would increase cotton
exports. He said his scheme
would causes negligible increase
in the cost of pulp products.
The bill would authorize the
agriculture secretary to acquire
at market prices through the
federal Surplus Commodities
Corporation at least 5,000,000
bales of the present cotton carry
over.
Designated as “pulping sur*
plus cotton,” this supply would
be made availale to domestic and
foreign processors of cellulose
pulp at a price equal to six cents
a pound.

NOTES IN MONEY ARE
DISPLAYEDJN MACON
Macon’s financial development
from an expanding trading post
and fronteir town to the thriving
city of today can be traced in
part through a coin and currency
collection opening at the Citizens
and Southern bank tomorrow.
In addition to featuring early
Macon bank notes and other
forms of exchange, the collect*
ion contains many rare mediums
of what other people used for
money, some of it dating back
more than 4,000 years.
The display—a coin collector’s
dream—is being shown in Macon
through the courtesy of the
Chase National Bank of New
York, according to Compton
Usina, C. and S. official. It will
remain here through May 6 and
the bank lobby will be kept open
daily until 5:30 p. m. for public
inspection.
Included in the early Macon
bank-notes is one issued by the
Bank of Macon Nov. 1, 1831.
Others include several denomi
nations issued by the Ochmulgee
bank and bearing the date of
Jan. 1, 1938.
Several Macon institutions
issued bank notes during the
War Between the States, bearing
the wording the were backed py
securities held by the Confede*.
rate states treasury, the display
shows.
Not to be outdone b y the
banks the Macon and Western
railroad issued 25-cent scrip
which was “good for fare one
passenger between Forsyth and
Smarrs,” placed in circulation
during the fall of 1862.
In the collection is a stone a
bout the shape of an ice cream
cone, used as a form of due-bill
in Chaldea about 2,500 B. C.
Among financial documents to
the collection is the check Lind
berg received as prize for his
flight to Paris and a check for
$146,000,000 to Dodge Brothers,
largest industrial check ever
written.
