Speaking for the board of

loss of Mr.. Weyl who, during
his 50-year service with the
firm, in which he started as a
boy, has virtually become a
part of the family.
He was one of the finest
characters we've ever known.
Mr.. Weyl grew up with the
firm. was our financial man be-
fore we incorporated in 1911,
and then retained his financial
status by being our treasurer.
AID TO NEEDY
HE has given unselfishly Of
his personal time and funds to

manner that matched his ex-

A. A. A.
In March. 1894, there was intro
duced in Congress 4 measure giving
the administration power to fix quo
tas for every cotton farmer and to
prevent him from raising and selling
any cotton In excess Of his quota, with
criminal penalties to prevent violation
When that measure was pending in
the Senate it was strongly opposed by
Senator Josiah Bailey OF North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Bailey is one OF the ablest
men in the Senate. one OF the most
thoughtful students of government
one OF those who understand best the
future implications Of present meas
ures. He was one OF the four or five
most forceful opponents OF the Presi-
dents court measure.
When the early [cotton -control]
measure was before the Senate, Mr.
Bailey said: IT this cotton control
bill should pass the Congress, and If
the Supreme Court shall uphold it,
shall know that the end of all things
has come in America. believe

legislation goes through. the latter

introduced Central MEASURE
That was true reflection of sena-
tor Bailey's earnestness. Yet in
year and six months Senator Bailey
was himself introducing a measure
for the control Of potatoes, which was
more extreme than the one controlling
cotton. The action was forced upon
him as the representative in the Sen
ate Of potato-raising State. He gave
his reasons:
Under the operation Of the CROP
control act, farmers have been driven
from cotton, tobacco and peanut pro-
duction, as we'll as other crops, and
have gone into the production of po-
tatoes. We cannot afford to
limit the number Of farmers produc-
ing cotton, tobacco and peanuts and
drive them all over into the potato
field. That is the argument for this
amendment
That is the way measures for eco
nomic control operate If cotton

hour bill, they will, by forces within

Virginia, that he was notified of his
present appointment, June IA, 1887.
Politics sought him out in his home
State. Always a faithful and en-
thusiastic Democrat, he was men,
toned for Governor the Senate. He
continued to practise law. In the
1886 campaign he WAS appointed
chairman Of the Veterans Advisory
Committee, organized them to vote
Democratic.
His military march picked up mo-
mentum year by year. 1t has broken
into run ever since 1917. Mr.. John
son enlisted as a civilian candidate
to train for a commission with the
9th Infantry, Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Ind. He was appointed captain in
1917, served with various training
batteries, was assigned as adjutant
OF the Headquarters Detachment. and
shortly thereafter to the Motor Bat
talon in 1918. He saw active duty
with his organization in the Meuse-
Argonne offensive. Returning home
in 1919 he was appointed a major.
them lieutenant colonel in the Infan-
try section, Officers Reserve Corps.
Mr.. JohnSon's formula for life is
work. He has packed plenty OF it in
his As active years. A definite, vital
personality, generously proportioned
physically, he has an ease of motion
that large men sometimes have. His
legal mind precludes rashness. His
words verify the impression. Speaking
biblically, and very much to the point
about war. he said "A strong man we'll
armed, keepeth his palace in peace"
This quotation, he said. he used when
addressing the American Legion, when
he was their national commander in
1882
