Republicans are now claiming they
Will gain enough senate seats to give
them majority of from eight to
twelve. The democrats are equally
sanguine that they will win enough
seats to have big majority in the
next congress. The Republicans now
have senate majority of two votes.
In the next house the Democrats
claim they will be able to overturn
the present Republican majority and
gain control of the house. The pres
ent Republican house majority is 46
votes. The Republicans declare they
will not only hold this majority. but
gain enough seats to give them a ma
jority of from 55 to 100 votes.
Both sides are no doubt exaggerat-
ing for it is believed the race for
control of the next congress will be
close
There are many men in congress
who should be retained irrespective
of their political affiliations. Among
these men are those senators and rep
resentatives who have always shown
themselves to be friendly to the war
veteran. A score of such men could
be named. Among them is senator
James ID. Phelan of California. Cali
fornia is normally a Republican
state. l, is reliably reported that in
November the state will go RepubI'
lican by 100000 majority, but this is
no reason why Senator Phelan, a
Democrat, cannot be returned to the
senate. California, when Hughes was
beaten, went Democratic for Wilson
and gave Senator Johnson about 25O,-
600 majority. There are about twice
as many Republicans as Democrats
now registered in California, but there
a Democrat who registers as a DEM
ocrat can vote for a Republican and
a registered Republican can vote for
a Democrat.
Senator Phelan's friends believe in
view of his personal popularity in
California that the state will return
him to the senate by large ma
jority, though California may go for
Harding and Coolidge.

SUNELOMEkS EOk SILAGE

Millions of sunfowers fell before
the knives of the mowers this fall in
the most gorgeous crop ever harvest
ed in western Canada. Immense
areas were planted to this new silage
product. Fields of 20 and so acres
were common, and SO acres of sun
flowers closely ranked standing II
and Is feet high with half a dozen
great yellow blossoms nodding on
every stalk were spectacular beauty
spots in a prairie landscape.
Cutting these Towering miniature
forests might seem a difficult task
but the rapidly shutting saw-toothed
knives of moving machines brought
them tumbling to earth in golden
windrows.
The use of sunflowers for silage is
of recent origin. This is the first
year they have been generally grown
in Canada.

Mrs. Bennett Appeals :
For Child Recreation
Tells Woman's Club That Youth
Must Have Healthful Enjoyment

The report from the convention OF
the Georgia Federated Clubs, in At
lanta, was given by fourteen members
of the Fitzgerald Woman's Club Wed
nesday afternoon in a splendid way,
and while all reports were good, the
following excerpts from Mrs. U. ].
Bennett, on "Moral Reform" i'm
pressed the membership possibly more
than any other phase of the work
outlined:
youth must have amusement. Let
us give them the proper chance and
teach them the highest ideals of life.
Let us make our future matrons and
fathers the highest type we can.
Fortunately, the opportunity is at
our door now. Community Service
workers are here at our bidding to
plan adequate, wholesome, community
recreation. Our leisure time hours
not only represent difficulties, but are
fraught with dangers. Nothing to
do" brings loneliness and dissipation
to some, crime to others. Commun-
ity Service helps us in civic and social
efforts, through recreation, education
drama, music, and primarily throug
citizenship.
"At this time our Community Ser
vice workers are being paid by the
National Community Service Coun-
Gil Their time with us is nearly
out, and, we must give money, time,
and efforts to carry on the work they
have so efficiently started. In the
next few days we are to decide WI ct
her or not we shall do this. Mothers
and fathers will be called upon to
to help this cause in financial way
"Be ready to give, not only for the
good of your child, but tor :.s.
We may be fortunatr enough 10 1.-o-
vide adequate recreation for our cwn
child, but what about that other hi d
who has not these advantages ard
with whom your child must associate
in school and church and elsewhere
in this great Democrar'e land.

'lTIZENS SUGGEST
FRANCHISE TERMS
AT $500 for First Ten and $3.50
tor Second Years Franchise
OF 20 YEARS DURATION
With Poles Off Streets by 1890
for Bowen Telephone Co.

At a meeting Friday night at the
chamber OF Commerce rooms of ten
members of the special Citizens
Committee named by Mayor J. L.
Plttman to make recommendations to
city council concerning a new fran
chise for the Bowen Telephone Com
pany, the members reached an agree
ment as to what the nature of the
franchise should be- Its recommen-
datlons will be made to council at its
next meeting in the form of resolu-
ton passed at the meeting on motion
of Lon Dickey.
The resolution recommends that
city council issue to the Bowen Tel
ephone Company franchise for a
period of twenty years for consider
alton of $500 year license tax for
the first ten years and $3.50 year for
the second ten years in addition to
free telephones presently furnished
and use of cross arms for police and
fire alarm systems. The resolution rec
ommends that the Bowen Telephone
Company agree, as part consideration
Tor the franchise, to remove all poles
and wires from the streets to the al
leys within a period of ten years from
the date of issuing the franchise.
The resolution was passed near mid
night after the members of the COM
mittee had threshed out the details
for more than three hours. President
William R. Bowen of the Telephone
Company was invited before the COM
mittee about 1890 o'clock, after Mr.
Dickey's motion had been thrown op-
en- to discussion, and presented the
Telephone company's side of the case.
Mr.. Bowen asked an apparent per-
petual franchise on the ground that
it would make credit from foreign
sources more easily available to the
company and that, since the city char
ter limits the council to granting fran
Chises for only twenty years. He ex-
planned that the policy of the company
was to remove telephone poles and
wires from streets to alleys as rapidly
as possible and stated that the COM
pany had no objection TO a specifica-
ton to that effect in the franchise.
The trunk line on Central avenue,
Ia r,x- In
years and to replace it before it wears
out would be too heavy burden. Mr..
Bowen presented figures from other
cities i'm South Georgia showing that
Fitzgerald now exacts higher license
rate, $500 year, than any of the 9TH
ers.
The citizens committee decided
not to try to reach conclusion as to
the legality of present franchise or the
legal question of whether it was brok-
en- when Bowen Telephone Company
raised its rates at the permission of the
Georgia Railroad Commission The
Georgia Supreme Court is the only
body in the world that can decide that
question. The members decided to
simply recommend to the council what
the committee deemed to be fair and
Just terms for a new franchise con-
tract.
The members present at the meet
ing were J. E. Turner, chairman, J. J.
Dorminey, Martin, Gelders, Thurm-
ond, Pryor, Bragg, Dickey, and Wild
er. Judge Griffin, Mr.. Bowen and
Mr.. Manning represented the tele-
phone Company. No one represent
ing the city government was present.
