BANKERS KNOW
Of BRUNSWICK
THIS cITY'S BooM BECOMES A
MUCH DISCUSSED TOPIC AT
CONVENTION.

That Brunswick is getting the name
as the coming city OF Georgia was
the discovery OF Linton L. Allen. of
the Glynn County Bank, wher he
went to attend and address the first
group convention of the Georgia
Bankers association at Vidalia. This
city's boom was a subject in every
informal conversation
In his address on the federal sys-
tens, Mr. Allen paid special atlen-
tion &C. the federal farm loan act, and
follow ing his address the bankers as
semhled expressed themselves to the
belief that the most important need
of the nation today was u developed
agriculture. and that this was espo'
cially true in the south.
"If the south, instead of aiding the
nation by added production OF foo
necessities. should in this war crisis,
Ifneed other sections to feed her as IT
does now, instead Of being patriotic
she would be drag on the people,
one of the bankers had declared II
was decided 10 encourage farm loans
in preference to others.
Mr.. Allon did not work for the next
annual meeting OF the group in ordor
to leave an open field to bring the
state organizations convention here
The next meeting Of the state asso-
citation is called for May and 3 al

Launching a movement among bust
ness men. truckers and consumers to
aid in the general preparedness
scheme which is taking such an in
tensiye hold on the country. so that
among the efforts being made to with
stand the many side phases of war.
the part of food supply may not be
neglected. and that something very
material may be evolved to lessen the
hardships which often result from
war conditions, A. V. Wood, president
Of the board of education, is planning
an organization.
,Thre is already list being made of
all the available lands, fenced or un-
fenced in the city which may be used
for cultivation OF vegetables of the
foot to enlist the active work of our
people in the quick preparation of the
ground and cultivation of such crops
as may be determined upon.
To mature these plans it is pro-
posed through the aid of Chautauqua
announcements at all of the meetings
this and next week to so thoroughly
arouse every one to the Importance
of this movement that an impetus will
be given from the start which will
assure success.
