New York, Jan. 26. ? With more!
than 5,000 Birthday Balls for the
President to be held on Jan. 30,'
Mr. Roosevelt's 52nd birthday,'
in nearly 3,000 communities scat
tered throughout the Union, Carl
Byoir, general director tor the
National Committee of the Presi
dential Birthday Balls, announce'!
today that early returns from the
nation already Indicated that the
last Tuesday in January would
mark one of the greatest birth
day parties In all history.
From every walk of life and
every type of organization have
come declarations that the big
gest and best Presidential Birth
day Balls of them all would be
given in such and such a city,
town or hamlet in order that due
respect might be paid the Chief
Executive on his birthday and as
a means of helping to raise a per
manent endowment for Warm
Springs Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
Metropolitan areas are report
lng scores of plans under way for
numerous Birthday Balls, while
k - word from the national capital
indicates that the observance
there of Ur. Roosevelt's birthday
will rival the Inaugural ball Is
brilliance and number of famous
patrons and patronesses drawn
from Washington's official and
social life.
Not to be outdone by the larg
er oiMes,- even the smallest ham
lets In the land are reporting by
the hundreds to National Com
mittee headquarters that every
one Including leading cltixens
everywhere, Is cooperating to give
the largest affair of the year In
honor of the President and as a
public-spirited means of helping
endow the Warm Springs Founda
tion with sufficient funds to In*1
tensity and expand the health
restoring facilities of the institu
tion throughout the country.
Fraternal groups, , under the
leadership of Joseph T. Fanning,
chairman of the division, are 100
per cent atrong behind the move
ment aimed with both barrels at 1
awakening the public to the need
of caring for the thousands of
children and adults crippled each
year by the dread Infantile pa- 1
ralysls. , J
Civic organisations. Including
every major group of this char
acter, dally add their quotas of.
Birthday Balls to the rapldly
growing roster at National Com
mittee headquarters. In cases ,
where fraternal or civic groups ?
dealre to give some other type of ,
entertainment than a Ball, every <
effort Is made to assure the spon
sors that other observances of the i
day may be approved by the ,
National Committee.
At more and more communities ,
report their progress In the effort |
to give outstanding Birthday Balls ]
for ttre President, earlier figures ,
On the total number of observau-',
ces Jan. 30 are being hurriedly
revised. Where 5,000 balla were ;
expected to prove the top number
originally, enthusiastic news of
plans rapidly nearlng completion
In every atate of the Union show,
that the total number the end
*? of this month may exceed 6,000,j'
In about 4,000 communities.

.THE PRESIDENT AND HIS MOTHER, MRS. JAMES ROOSEVELT
Whin the Preeldent becomes 52 years old on Jan. 30 every community
In the nation will give a ball in hit honor to help raise an endowment for
extension of the work of Warm Springs Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
The President's mother bought the first box sold for the great aoclety ball

Cotton Checks
Being Received
Cotton option checks are al
ready being received by many ot
the producer*. I fear that Bome
of you will not receive your check
promptly, duf to the fact that in
some Instaoalt the Post Office
does not have your name. If
you have hiul difficulty In reeeiv
lng letters from me, due to the
fact it has gone to another per
son by the same name, please see
your mall carrier or post master
and give him your correct ad
dress. If you have , moved to an
other farm also advise him of the
change in address. If you will do
this I am sure much confusion
will be eliminated in receiving
checks.
Those receiving checks have
received about 11<J for their cot
ton option, which is almost lc
higher than It was In December
when many of the optiona were
sold. The delay ot about two
weeks In starting to distribute op
tions has mefcnt a profit to this
county of about 17,000.00.
Farmers will receive about
$38,000.00 for options held after
taking cotton out ot production,
this with the $48,000.00 In bene
fit payments will make a total ot
$86,000.00 the producers realised
by Joining hands with a million
other farmers in raising the price
of cotton.

Buying Center
For Merchants
Of The South
Formation ot a merchandise
mart in Atlanta to serve ready
to-wear merchants of the South
eastern States has been announc
ed by a group of southeastern
business men and their associates,
headed by W. R. C. Smith, former
i president of the Atlanta Chamber
: of Commerce.
The mart will be a buying cen
? ter for merchants throughout the
' Southeast and will display mer
? chandise from northern and eaat
1 ern manufacturers at the same
i time like merchandise is displayed
: in New York, thus saving buyers
; a journey to New York.
It will open January 29, with
an elaborate style show, to con
i tinue as a permanent establlsh
? ment.
Ira A. Stone, Charlotte textile
manufacturer, is president, &nd K.
? P. Minogue, Charlotte, is vice
: president and general manager.
Mr. Mincgue, formerly assistant
district manager for the Depart
ment of Commerce at Charlotte.
The Southeastern Merchandise
Market, an institution of vital in
terest to the ready-to-wear stores
of the Southeast, is to open on
January 29th, 1934, in Atlanta,
Oeorgla.
The mart will contain perhaps
the most comprehensive display
ot ready-to-wear, textiles, and
hoisery ever assembled in the
Southeast, and will take over the
selling problems of a representa
tive group of northern and south
ern manufacturers.
The tremendous strides made
by southeastern retailers and
buyers of ready-to-wear In the
past six years has caused client*
of these institutions to recognlia
.that the Southeastern section ot
the United States is style con
scious. It is therefore essential
that ready-to-wear stores, botu
large and small, be In a position
? to inspect new lines ot merchan
t dise and provide for their custo
? mere that which is available to
> residents of other buying areas in
' various sections of the United
