The Bretheren scored early and carried their lead up into the latter half. The shouting Methodists landed on Med ley's offerings and when the dust cleared away the game was sewed up. Russell went in the box, but it was too late. Jake Cobb pitched the last game for the Methodists. Both teams made some bad errors.

DECLARES CONGRESS
 IS AT LOWEST EBB
Byrns of Tennessee Replies to MOn- dell's Speech GlOrifying Party
 Says Weeks Told Truth.

Washington, July 5.-Delegated by cent speech of Representative Mon dell Mycming, Republican leader, on "the achievements of Congress, Rep, resentative Byrns of Tennessee, rank ing Democrat of the Appropriations of remarks to be printed in the Con- gressional Record tomorrow that Sec retary Weeks frankly and bluntly told the truth in asserting in an ad- dress that Congress had reached its lowest ebb.
 "Mr Weeks is quoted as having de- clared in a sudden burst of candor,' said MT. Byrns, that this Congress, which is overwhelmingly Republican had reached the lowest ebb in the en- tire history of the country, Consid- ering his long service in the House the Senate and as secretary of war testimony coming from such a high Republican source will undoubtedly be accepted in preference to the bias ed opinion of MT. Mondell, whose can didacy for the United States Senate rests upon the record made by Con- gress under his leadership"
 Feeling keenly the force of gener- al criticism leveled against Congress, said MT. Byrns, "the majority leader very harshly criticises those who have seen fit to condemn the present Con- gress for it's shortcomings and failure to give evidence of statesmanship and keep faith with the people"
 Referring to Mir. Mondells refer ence to newspaper editors, MT. Byrns declared the editors could take com fort in the fact that in such criticisms they have been no more harsh than was the distinguished secretary of war, who holds such a high place in the present administration, and whose loyalty to the Republican party not even the gentleman from Wyoming will deny.

COTTON GROWERS
 FINANCES SOLVED
Cooperative AssociatiOn's Position Now Is ImpregnabIe, Says
 President Henry.

Little Rock, July 5.-Financial prob lens of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Cooperative Association now are com pietely solved, it was said yesterday hy Charles G. Henry, president of the association, WmU iie's '95 .sssy- eoi 'ie" from Washington, where on Thursday of last week he secured a credit of 7,500000 from the War Finance Cor poration. Little Rock banks through the Little Rock Claring House Asso- citation, previously had pledged the association a credit of $3,000,000 and promised to increase this amount if necessary Two St. Louis banks had pledged an additional credit of $2,000,- 0OO so that the cotton association now has a total credit of $12,500, ,000.
 This is far in excess of our needs" said MT. Henry. We estimate that it will require between $6,000,000 and S7,000 GOO to finance the marketing of the cotton of association members
 
 assured that the associations credit would be so large that there could be no possible trouble or embarrass- ment in marketing tine crop of our members next fall This has been accomplished and now we are free to devote our entire attention to perfect ino atoiJ of n1a ho q of marketing our cotton. Thus far, the associations program has been carried out without hitch and we hope and believe that it's affairs will continue to run along smoothly in ac- cordance with our prearranged plans."
 Little Rock Banks Responsible.
 MT. Henry said that the success of his mission in Washington was due to the action of the Little Rock Clearing House Association in granting the cotton association it's first credit of i $3, 1000, ,000. With the local bankers showing this confidence in the cotton association, it was an easy matter to obtain the additional $2,000000 credit from the two St. Louis banks, he said. Thus, when he appeared before the War Finance Corporation with total credit of $5,000,000 behind the associa- tion, members of the federal board granted without hesitation his appli- cation for a $7,50O,000 credit.
 New Members Joining.
 Headquarters of the cotton associa- tion already are beginning to see the effects of the membership drive being conducted by the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation. Four new signed contracts from Clark county farmers were received at headquarters yester- day. These were obtained at meet ing at Philadelphia last Friday, at which plans for the membership drive in Clark county were made.
 Total of 37 signed contracts from Lee and Cross counties have been re- ceived as result of the recent mem bership campaigns in those counties. There are between 25 and 50 new members in Donoke county whose contracts have not yet been sent to headquarters and there are many oth- CT new members in Cross and Lee counties whose contracts have not yet been sent in.
