S IpiMTOCfifAMrmiJ CONTINENT JOINS KIWANIS TRIBUTE UNITED GOOD WILL Expression of I ntierstanding Flashes Across America; President Sends Message; Kiwanis Strength Is Shown. Montreal, June B.—Montreal, era die of the white man’s oivilizatior, some ago, opened its histor is gates of welcome to 7.000 Kiwan ians today who have traveled from ev ery conceivable place on the North American continent to meet here foi the 10th annual convention of Ki wanis International this week. Crowd ing the city’s immense auditorium ‘•Forum” last night. 10,000 Canadian and American Kiwanians and visitors attended the opening “All Kiwan ; .9 night program, while millions of radio listeners in the United States and Canada heard the international ex pression of gratitude for the friend ship. peace, and understanding that has existed between the two countries for more than a hundred years. While 7.000 delegates and visiting Kiwanians paid their homage in this city, one hundred thousand other members scattered in cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the Gulf of Mexica to the far north across the miles of expanse of the Canadian provinces, met simultaneously during the open convention hour to observe a cont : nent-wide fellowship spirit of un derstanding. Itadra rebroadcasting brought the program to members thou sands of miles from Montreal. “Organization such as yours * * do much to strengthen the bonds of mutual amity and understanding be tween our people and other countries.” was President Coolidge's statement rend to the convention. Perry Patterson, of Chicago, a past president of tlie organization, 1918-19. presided at the opening cere mony. when a moment of silent trib ute was honored by the entire conven tion, “God Save the King.’’ and “Am erica.” the national anthems, were sung by the international gathering. Hands Out of Politics. Hands off politics, but hands in all legislative matters of public concern, and the study of community, state, national, and international questions from a nonpartisan standpoint, was forcibly urged today as action for all Kiwanis clubs, by Hairy E. Karr, of Baltimore, a past president of the or ganization. to delegates from Canada and the United States, at today's ses sions. Kiwanis has always mace it a car idinal rule to “keep out of politics.” Mr. Karr reminded the 3.000 dele gates. “Yet the time has now arriv ed when Kiwanis’ strength and posi tion makes it of interest that study be given vital questions.” he advised. “Make up your minds as Kiwanians to have your meetings give real at tention to public business: scan all legislation going on. and begin to think individually and collectively.” One of the first issues that might well receive attention would be the stop ping of the. wholesale passing of laws and jfoligh legislatjpn, for the world cannot be reformed by resolutions ami laws, according to Mr. Karr. Edgar Allen Poe received only $52 for "The Gold Bug" cud only $lO for “The Raven.” j Alaska, for which the United States paid $7,200,000 in 1807. exported $02,223,735 worth of products in, 1925 alone.

Morehouse Reveals Further Schemes by Which Poor Widows Are Bereft of Their Savings—Unbe lievable Frauds Are Worked on the Uninformed. By W. R. MOREHOUSE, Public Relation* Commission, American Bankers Association. ARTICLE NO. 11l LAND swindles are almost as common as sand on the sea shore. Here is one. A widow was left alone in the woMd with but $6,000. She was urged to take a free ride Binto the country to look over a new town site. ■ Juts a pleasure ride, she was told. No ob j ligation on her part. She accepted the in vitation with no intention of parting with her precious $6,000, but she fell among high-pressure salesmen and in an unguarded moment she affixed her signature to a con tract to purchase a vacant lot for the $6,000 cash she had in a savings bank. Thirty days after she drew out her ac count for what she supposed was a business w. r. Morenouw instalment of $6,000 was due, being a SI,OOO payment on each of six $6,000 lots. Strange as it may seem, not uiktil she received this notice did she read the contract she had signed. Instead of buying one $6,000 lot and paying for it, as she meant to do, she had signed a contract to buy six $6,000 .; —— business lots and the $6,000 she drew from the bant had been ap plied as a first payment of SI,OOO •ach on the six >ots. Had she gone to her banker she would have saved herself the loss of her inheritance, but doubtless the reason she had not consulted her bank was because she was not aware that bankers render such a service. Joumcl A Widow Fell Among High Pressure Land Salesmen Bad Is the lot of the savings de positor who, after losing his sav ings through wild-cat speculation, is driven to desperation tor funds end finds it necessary to borrow money to meet an as sickness or unpaid rent. Let me give the facts about two cases of the many with which I have come in contact. The Loan Shark at Work The principal characters In the first class are a man, who must borrow $350 to place hts wife in a hospital to save her life, and a loan •hark, who demands every ounce of blood. In desperation the bor rower applies to this loan shark for the loan of $350. This is what it costs him—the amount is almost unbelievable but I obtained the exact figures first hand and I can vouch for their cor rectness —this man was obliged to give his note for $025 for a loan of $350! The day he got the note the shark sold it to an Innocent holder and It became an obligation bind ing upon the Durrower. Think of paying S92S for a loan of $350! Here is anotuer. This time there is a woman in the case. The wom an needed $165 to aaeet a payment »* her furniture or lose 1L She COTTON CROP HAS LOST THREE WEEKS OF GROWTH Side Application of Quickly Soluble Nitrogen is Recommended. Raleigh. June B.— iM —Because the cotton crop of North Carolina has lost about three weeks of growth, due to dry weather preventing the germi nation of the seed, it is the logical thing for farmers to make a side application of quickly soluble nitro gen as soon as possible after chopping the cotton, C. B. Williams, head of the department of agronomy at State College, said today. “This has been an unpreceuentedly dry spring in most sections of the state,” said Professor Williams. “There has not been enough moisture in the soil to soften and germinate the cotton seed, even that planted for two or three weeks. Therefore, the erop has lost about three weeks of growth. Therefore, the crop has lost about three weeks of growth. This being true, where farmers have a small or medium application of fer- : tihzers, and where the soil is poor to 1 ■ moderate in fertility, a side applica-t tion of nitrate of soda or splphate of < ammonia should be made immediately ! after shopping. This will promite i rapid and continued growth of the I cotton right from the start.” The applications should be made ' alongside the rows of cotton, three to > four inches from the plants, and ap- 1 plied immediately before the first cul- i tivation, Professor Williams stated. Such an application will aid the plants to start off a rigorous growth and tbe fertiliser applied at plant ing will then push this growth i through the remainder of the season, ! be said. | With much of the cotton not up ] in many fields, especially in the Pied- I mont section of the state, and with ' the stands poor In other aections,t Ms side application of quickly available i nitrogen is more highly essential this year than in most years, Mr. Williams i remarked. Moet of the aeed is still I THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE turned to this same shylock for as sistance and this la how he haa died the case. He led the woman tt expect that he would lend her th( money but kept deferring makini the loan from day to day. Finally on the day she must make her pay aient or lose her furniture, he tel ephoned her to call. It was now too late for her to make any othci arrangements for borrowing the funds. The shylock had planned it so that she could be at his mercy and would have to accept his terms He charged Lsr iSoU for a loan ol $165! How the Shark Does ft Doubtless your curiosity l» aroused as to how this shylock caa get away with such a deal. Here are the facts. He charged a large commission for making the lose and also inc’.uded a wide range in fees such as for drawing np F’-* pers and notarial fees. On top ol this he required the borrowers t« buy stock in his company which was worthless. Then he required them to take out through Him life insurance to about one hundred times the amount of the loan fvj which he a liberal com mission. In fact, he retorted tt every imaginable scheme in orde7 to bleed them of the last drop of blood they had to give. And the unfortunate thing it all is that the borrowers in these two cases found it necessary to meet such exorbitant terms because they had already lost theif savings through ill-advised investments. (Article IV will give tiethods tv wfhk'h people can bs prottcte4 from oMro!w«»J in sound condition and jwill germi nate quickly ns soon ns : there has been sufficient rains, he ajlded. Then the crop should be pushed to rapid growth by using the side application. Has Four Living Wives.
