Under the marketing plan of the
association. approximately one

sold each month of the year. This

RED CROSS DRIVE SUCCESS

Although the coal mining industry
has not been on a normal basis for
some time the people of Crested
Butte showed very charitable
spirit during the recent Red Cross
membership drive. There We're very
few who did not subscribe at least a
dollar even tho the mines had been
working slack for many weeks prior
to the campaign. The writer is
p'elased td report that the total SUBJ
scription amounted to S281.75. Of
his amount S145 81 goes to the Local
Chapter fund, and S132.SS to the Ma
tional Treasury $500 being the
amount of the expepnse incurred in
the local drive. 1 am very much
pleased at the results, especially when
such hard times are prevailing; and l
want to take this means of thanking
all those who SO kindly and willingly
helped make the thing success.
Let us hope that the Local Chapter
can maintain nurse here perma-

splendid work the community would
be lost without her.

MILLIONS OF LIVES

ism in Russia is dead and Russia is on

Haskell, who was in charge of relief
administration activities, said in a f.
nal report today to Herbert Hoover,
secretary of commerce and chairman
of the relief administration. Not only
did American aid, amounting to $780,
100000 during the past two years. save
millions of lives in Russia, said Col.
Haskell, but it helped to stimulate
Russian recovery.
Million Tons of Supplies.
During this period" said the re-
port, "a little under million tons of
food, seed, clothing and medical sup
plies have been bought in the United
States by the American relief admin
istration, requiring about $50 voyages
of American ships. These supplies
amounted to 10000 carloads on the
Russian railways Their distribution
was accomplished through the organ
ization of $4,000 different stations at
the worst period when we were feed
ing nearly 100000 men, women and
children daily. Not only would these
millions have died without this relief
but even larger numbers would have
persisted from the cess pool of conta-
giouS disease which was then raging
everywhere.

ARRANG EMENTS FOR
STORING PEANUTS
PLANS OF GEORGIA GROWERS
COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION
FOR WAREHOUSING CROP.

]. ]. Watson, production manager
of the Georgia Peanut Growers Co.
Operative Association, has completed
arrangements for warehousing and
storing the peanuts from the more
than 100000 acres under contract to
this big farmers organization. Bond
ed warehouses in about twenty CEN
trail points will be the main receiving
points, but local receiving stations
will be established throughout the
counties covered by the association.
Members will have the option of de-
livering at either, but they are beng
urged to take their peanuts to the
bonded warehouses, which will be the
only places where peanuts will be
stored for any length of time. By TAX
ing their peanuts to the bonded ware
houses, which are located at the places
enjoying the lowest freight and insur-
ance rates, the members will save the
association money, which amounts to
the same thing as saving themselves
money.
At a Joint meeting in Albany re-
Gently of bankers, business men and
peanut association representatives, an
agreement was reached whereby the
bankers and business men holding
crop liens against peanuts and mem
bers of the association will allow these
peanuts t. be handled by the associa-
ton. The lien will be paid out OF the
proceeds of the sale by the associas--
ton, and in this way the peanuts will
not be dumped on the market at the
time when prices are usually lowest:
1t is believed that practically all o.
the bankers and supply merchants OF
the state who are not spectators VIII
accept the plan, which, it is claimed,
will add to the general prosperity,
Arrangements have also been made
to finance the initial advances by the
peanut association to its members on
first deliveries by short-term loans
from local banks at per cent interest.
Money borrowed for longer periods
to finance such portion of the crop as
will be stored will be secured from
the federal intermediate credit bank at
Columbia, S. c., at 5H per cent IN

RIDE MILLION MILES;

THREE STREET CAR MEN WHO

A million-mile street car ride
That's impossible, some will say,
but here are three living proofs that
such a stunt" can be done.
William Zell, Ben Solari and Jacob
Tier, employees of the trolley company
at Washington, d. c., have been rid
ing on the street cars for 40 years
and in all that time they have not
been outside the city. Statisticians fig
ure that a street car will last from
Is to rs years and will travel at least
5000 miles a month. A little figuring
and the result is a million miles, or a
little more.
Rode on Horse Cars.
William, Ben and Jacob went into
the business when horses pulled the
cars. Many the time they chased a
street car down a hill when the rails
were slippery and the horses balky.
Often they have told passengers to
get out into the mud and walk when
the load was too big for a hill.
The three first worked as team driv-
ers, pulling the reins over two horses
that helped pull the cars up steep
hills or under heavy loads. Then as
science took hand, the three got
jobs turning a controller and took the
last half of their ride" on electric
cars.

ing young fellows" but they still are
