You have probably heard that
there is to be a big Birthday Ball
for the President here at the Com
munity House on January 30th—
the President’s 53rd birthday. Now,
this Is not merely a tribute to our
Chief Executive—It’s a movement
to aid him in his effort to relieve
sufferers from Infantile Paralysis
and to try to stamp out the dis
ease, once and for all.
Everybody Is Invited to come and
to have a good time, and to get a
double pleasure out of it through
realteat&on that he or she Is par-
ticipating in a nation-wMe human
itarian movement. More than 5000

Senator and Mrs. J. J. Dorn left
Saturday night for Flemington
where the senator went to appear
as a prosecution witness in the trial
of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for
the kidnaping and murder of the
Lindbergh baby. Mr. Dorn was ex
pected to testify as to the identity
of the lumber in the kidnap ladder
which the prosecution contends
was used in the execution of the
crime and carried with him numer
ous exhOnts, intfodlng specimens
of lumber from his yards and sales
records.
Investigation by United States
Government officials has disclosed
that the lumber used in the ladder
was finished and shipped from the
yard at McCormick operated by the
senator and his brother, M. Gary
Dorn. Since the Dorns have exten
sive lumber interests through the
state and in Georgia it was impos
sible to determine the exact county
and state from which the actual
1 lumber came.
The Cotton Outlook
ECONOMIST
SUMS UP SITUA
TION 'AS *rO, SUPPLY, DE
MAND, AND CARRY-OVER \
CLEM8<5n! COLLEGE, Jan. 19.—
A world supply of 20.3 million bales
of American cotton for the 1934-35
season, a total consumption of
American cotton of about 12 mil
lion bales, and a probable carry
over on August 1, 1935, of a little
more than eight million bales—
these facts and figures stand out in
the cotton outlook statement of O.
M. Clark, extension economist.
“The world supply of American
cotton”, says Mr. Clark, “is down
more nearly to the average for the
10 years ending in 1930, namely,
18.5 million bales. The present
season’s supply is about 4.5 million
bales less than last season’s and 5.7
million less than the very high
supply of the 1931-32 and 1932-33
seasons.

can cotton Is made up of an esti- j for the i 0 " y i" i' 9 5-24 to mTsIT
decided that the reduction will be
25 per cent with an additional five
per cent optional or a total possible
reduction of 30 per cent, from the
base acreage. -> •
“The base acreage of
who signed reduction contracts is
approximately 38,210,000 acres. Pro
ducers who did not sign contracts
planted about six million acres in
1934. Those of this group who are
eligible may sign contracts effec
tive in 1935. If contract signers
plant about the acreage which they
win be permitted to plant and pro
ducers who do not have contracts
do not change their acreage ma
terially from that of 1934, the to
tal acreage planted in 1935 will be
about 34.5 or 35 million acres. With
average yields this acreage will give
a total production of about 12
million bales.
“The total world consumption of
American cotton in the 1933-34
season was 13,539,000 bales
was a reduction from the season
before but was larger than any
season except 1932-33 since 1928-29 r
and was larger than the average
