LEGION DOBS RIGHT TfffNG.
In another column o{ this paper we
are reproducing the resolutions adopted
by the local I'oat of the American
legion at its monthly meeting thda
week. The unap/ntous action of that
body of outstanding""citizens of this
community, many of them voting
favoring the resolutions to their own
personal hurt, is a most gratifying
nign of the complete confidence of our
citizenship in our President and his
- program for economy and government
rehabilitation. We do not believe that
any World War veteran who is actu-j
ally suffering and^jncapacitaied be-1
cause of his service nitkl have anything
to fear; hut the thousands of J
unmerited claims and -the non-servicej
connected disability payments will go j
into the discard. The President is determined
to balance the governmental j
budget, and to do away with the foolish
and useless expenditure of the
^ taxpayers' money. This to the minds
of .the people is the first great step
toward the restoration of confidence
itnd a return to prosperity. Tfic way
President Roosevelt has tackled this!
problem, the banking situation and
other vital questions, has aroused the.
Admiration of the rank and file of the j
people all over tbi-s land, and it is J
Almost inconceivable that democratic i
Congressmen elected on the Party's,
platform pledged to these economics, I
should under all the circumstances la*
m> dumb as to oppose the program by
their vote and voice. We uuvr, .t help
but think that the three Congressmen
from South Camlma who failed
trt.Jrupport the President in this legislation
have not given the matter their '
careful consideration. If wo are any
judge <>f the temper of the people
back home, they are more unanimously
behind our president now than
they have been behind any president
since the beginning of the World
War.
THE NEED OF THE GARDEN
The need of tonics and other medicine
in the spring of the year is due
largely to the lack of vegetables in
the winter diet. If more greens and
leafy foods were eaten daily throughout
the year less money would be
spent for medicines and doctor's bills
and there would be less suffering
from many of the ills that are constantly
with us. Green vegetables
are valuable in the diet lx>cause they
supply mineral substance and vitamins.
The wide-awake gardeners
have already done much work in their
gardens. Such plantings bein? made
as Irish potatoes, onion sets, English
peas, spinach, beet, kale and mustard.
There is much pleasure in
working vegetables and watching
them grow. It is hoped that every
farm woman will at least try to have
a year round garden and it is none
too soon t-> start now. Make your
plans and get busy.?Contributed by
a Farm Woman.

Text of Message on
Banking Situation
Washington, Mar. 12.? President
Roosevelt promised the nation tonight
there would be no rrtore epidemics of
bank failures and urged the people to
unite "in banishing fear."
He made this pledge in a 1,200
word statement to the pubjjr issued
to the press and broadcast at 10 p. m.
I Mr. Roosevelt explained in simple
language events leading up to the
modified "bank holiday and then revealed
why he is employing a "stagger
system" of bank* reopening beginning
tomorrow,
A summary of the text of President
Roosevelt's statement follows:
"I want to tell you what has been
done in the' last few days, why it
was done, and what the next steps
are going to be. x x x
"Because of undermined confidence
'in the part of the public, there was
a genera! rush by a large portion of
our population to turn bank deposits;
into cyrrency or gold?a rush so great I
that the soundest bunks could not get
enough currency to meet the demand.
"By tho afternoon of March 3
scarcely a bank in the country was
I open to do business. Proclamations
I temporarily closing them in whole or
in part had been ssucd by the govjernors
in almost all the states.
"It was then that I issued the proclamation
providing for the nationwide
banking holiday, and this was
the first step in the government's reconstruction
of our financial economic
fabric.
"Tho second step was the legislation
promptly and patriotically passed
by the Congress confirming my proc
amati'. n and broadening my powers
<> that it became possible in view of i
the ; equirement of time to extend the j
holiday and lift the ban of that holi- j
day. This law also gave authority!
to develop a program of rehabih- j
tation of our banking facilities. 1
want toll our citizens in every
Mj-it of the nation that national
t ongre- ?republicans and democrats
alike?showed by this action a devo- ,
tion tu*spublic welfare and a realization
of the emergency and the necessity
for speed that it is difficult
to match in our history,
i The third stage has been the se'
l ies of regulations permitting the
I banks to continue their functions to
j take care of the distribution of food
! and household necessities and the
' payment of payrolls.
"No sound bank is a dollar worse
off than it was when it closed its
doors last Monday. Neither is any
I bank which may turn out not to be
, in a position for immediate opening.
The new law allows the 12 federal
reserve banks to issue nddditional
I currency on good assets and thus the
banks which reopen will be able to
meet ewry legitimate call. The new]
cunency is being sent out by the ou-,
jicau f engraving and printing in
i lurgc iume to every part of the
! country. It is sound currency be-j
; cause it is backed by actual, good as[
s.
' "A question you will ask is this ? |
'why are all the banks not to be reopened
at the same time? The ans|
wer is simple. Your government
does not intend that the history of
the past few years shall be repeated.
We do not want anil will not have
anothtM* epidemic of bank failures.
"As a result we start tomorrow,
j Monday, with tho opening of banks
in the 12 federal reserve bank cities
?those banks which on first examination
by the treasury have already
been found to be all right. This will
be followed on Tuesday by tho resumption
of all their functions by
hanks already found to be sound in
cities where there arc recognized
clearing houses. That means about
2J>() cities of the United States.
"On Wednesday and .succeeding
days banks in smaller places all
through the country will resume busline--.

Farmers Urged To
Plant Crotalaria
Due to continued extr?ordul*iT *" *
suits produced by crotalaria in t)ie
many experiment* and praotical farm
demonstration# which we have conducted
during the past few years, I ,
feel that it is now safe to urge our j
farmers to avail themselves of this ,
means of materially increasing their j
crop yields and at the same time
greatly reducing the cost of produc- (
tion. Crotalaria adds about four
times as much nitrogen per tier? as
any other legume known. It ordinarily
stores in the soil nitrogen equivalent
to 850 to 000 pounds of nitrate
of soda per acre and it is not uncom- j
mon to have a production of 40,000,
rounds of green material per acre.,
"Every farmer in the county should atj
least try a small area of this new,
but valuable summer legume.
Those interested in securing seed
will please get in touch with t'he!
county'agtfnt, Henry D. Green, at once
as a cooperative order is now being
made up.
Death of Young Man
Friends will be grieved to leafft of
the dehtl^ofWilson Hin,son.-t0-year- j
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Hinson,
of t)he Antioch section of this j
county. 1
The young man had been sick only
a week, when he died on Tuesday,
March 14th, at the Camden hospital- j
Ho is survived by his parents, one(
brother, T. W. Hin-son; two sisters,
Loma Ellen Ilinson and an infant sis-j
ter. |
Funeral services were held Wednes-,
day at Antioch church conducted by
Rev. H. S. Broom and burial was in
the church yard. |
The Komegay Funeral Home was
in charge of funeral arrangements. |
Mrs. Dayis Dead
Mrs. Lula Mae, Davis, aged .10, wife j
of Walter Davis, of the Westville (
community, died at the Camden hospital
Wednesday morning after an
illness of three weeks. Mrs. Davis is
survived by her husband and father,
Sam Livingstone, and four small j
children?the youngest of whom is
only eleven months old. She was a_
daughter of Samuel Livingstone and
I the late Millie Stroud Livingstone and
was a native of this county. Funeral
services were held Thursday.
morning at 11 o'clock from Hickory
Head church at Westville.
Alexander D. Robinson, was on
Tuesday convicted in a Philadelphia
court on a charge of looting the closed
Northwestern Trust company of!
that city to the extent of $492,000.,
Pending appeal he was released under (
bail bond of $50,000. The judge com- ,
mended the jury for its verdict, say- ;
ing: "This verdict," he said, "is not
only just, but also timely. Its value
| to the community is that it is an ad- j
| monition to the banking world.
I
i The kidnaping case of Charles;
Boettcher. of Denver, Col., released by ^
the kidnapers last week aftev the pay- ,
meat of $00,000, ransom, has been |
solved. Two men have been arrested
anil a small part of the money recovered.
Three others involved in the
kidnaping have fled to Canada.
into cash than was the case before.
More liberal provision has been made
for banks to borrow on these assets
at the reserve banks and more liberal
provision has also been made for
issuing currency on the security of
these good assets. This currency is
not flat currency. It is issued only
on adequate security?and every good
bank has an abundance of such security.
"One more point before I close.
I There will be, of course, some banks,
j unable to reopen without being re'
organized. ,The new law allows the
I go\ ernment to assist in making these
! reorganizations quickly and effectiveIs
ai l even allows the government
j to subscribe to at least a part of the
I new capital which may be required.
