MASONS BACK
OF AUDITORIUM;
TO OFFER SITE

Americas Lodge, No. 10, F. and A.
NJ, has offered it's assistance to the
Chamber of Commerce, Rotary club
and city council committees that have
been entrusted with the working out
of plan for the erection of modern
auditorium for the city. At recent
meeting an auditorium committee.
composed of H. E. Allen, E. Il.
Schneider and S, l. Cohen, was APP
pointed to act with the other
committees.
One of the ways in which the lodge
hopes to be of service is through it's
ownership of the vacant lot at the
corner of Lee and Church streets,
which it will offer as a site for the
proposed building, provided it is de-
sirable and is considered large
enough. This lot is about 105xSS feet.
1t is said the lodge is filling to donate
the ground in fee simple to an audi
forum organization in return for be-
ing given a lodge room on an upper
floor of the building Whether this
arrangement could be worked out,
plans are too indefinite as yet to say.
The auditorium idea has been grow
ing in interest lately, and the organi-
cations behind it are planning to ac-
complish the undertaking this year.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Federal ac-
ton to maintain higher rates for raw
q cotton was urged in the house yester-
day by Representative Hefiin, of Ala
bama, who did not advocate any spe-
cific program, but asserted the price
should be not less than 80 cents a
pound.
The New York cotton exchange
beat down the cost of cotton one day
last week that meant a loss of $685.

The producer is being robbed and
a report was sent out that the federal
reserve banks were going to call in all
loans on cotton. This, the federal re-
serve board denies 1t is a group OF
spinners, including some foreignOnes
who want to get cotton out of the
hands of the producer and speculate
on It,"
Cotton prices will be advanced, Mr.
Hefin said, because the world cot
ton supply is 100000 bales short. He
charged spectators wish to gain con-
troll of the product and raise prices
He predicted a price of 40 cents a
pound by July.
e. A. Calvin, Washinton representa-
tive of the cotton states advisory mar
keting board, who is known through
out Georgia, in discussing the break
in the cotton market, said:
"The paramount question confront
ing the cotto mariners of America al
this time is whether they will have a
say in naming the price on their pro
ducts or whether the price shall be
named by aliens. The cotton farmers
have fought good fight so far with
heavy odds against them and it is the
success of this fight that has aroused
the fire of the spinners, more especial
ly the alien spinners, and they are
now determined that the remainder
of the crop shall be marketed at great.

THE heavy break in the cotton mar
ket during the last few days can only
be accounted for by the fact that the
spinners have gone into force the re-

If the spinners keep up this fight

which men and organizations of mer
