CHRISMS SAYINGS CLUBS - HAVE-PAID OUT $75,000 "TO LOCAL DEPOSITORS Many Gastonians Took Ad van tag: of Popular Method of Saving Money This Year Cashiers Boyce of First Na- tional and Carpenter of Loan & Trust Co. Highly Pleased Expect Bigger Clubs Next Year. Christmas checks aggregating $75,000 have been mailed, out during the past few days by the Gaston Loan 4 Trust Co. and th First National Bank. Thousands of hearts in the city have been made glad by the attractive check with Santa Onus' picture on it. It has not only provided a fund for holiday shopping for many people who would doubtless otherwise have been unable to do any Christmas buying, because of the curtailment dur ing the past few weeks by the mills, bnt the turning loose of this amount of cash has lent a considerable stimulus to busi ness. In short, many local merchants, who had never before realized what the Christmas Savings Clubs really meant In the business life of the town, have re cently become ardent advocates of this popular method of saving money and are enthusiastic in their support of the sys tem. . "This year," said Mr. Miles A. Car penter, cashier of the Gaston Loan & Trust Co., "we paid out 140,000 to Christmas Savings Club members. It was the largest amount we have ever paid out, but our Christmas club has been growing steadily each year. This year we had 1,600 depositors in this depart- ment. The largest sum paid out to one family was a little over $500. I know of 1 no better way for the wage-earning I classes to save money than this. It is i easy for them to handle and the, results at the end of the year are really surpris ing. Our 1921 club has already started off with a rush aryl we are expecting that next December we shall pay out more than $50,000 to Christmas Savings Club members." Cashier 8. N. Boyce of the First Na tional Bank expressed himself as highly pleased with the 'business done by his bank this year La the Christmas Savings Club department "It is a wonderful institution," be said, "and more and more people are coming to realize its value each year. One of the beauties about the Christmas Savings Club is that, in many Instances, it is the means of starting many families on the road to saving and the exercise of a proper amount of economy and thrift. After Selonging to a club for one year they find out how easy it is to save a little money and how splendid a thing it is to have a check coming to them just as the Christmas holidays commence.' There are many hundreds of people in Gastonia who ought to belong to a Christmas Sav ing Club and I believe that there will be more taking advantage of it this year than ever. The First Nation.il is highly pleased with lnt year's showing and the n-ay the dortn-it is starting off right n-w we expect 1!!-i to be the bigegt war ir. our l i'rv so far in this ro sneet."

Congress-man-elect Major Bulwinkle, of Gaston ia, spent Thursday in Washington, .getting acquainted with members and the house office building, and left today for points north on business. Major Bulwinkle called on Senators Simmons and Overman and all members of the state 's delegation in Congress. Last night he was the guest of Congressman Hoey, whom he succeeds after March 4, at a dinner party given at the Driscoll hotel. Major Bulwinkle made a very favor- able appearance among those whom he met at the eapitol. Major Stedmaa, of Greensboro, who had not met the major before, said' today that he believed the Gastonia man would make a good mem ber. "Major Bulwinkle is a fine looking, clean cut young man' said the major. "He has a good face and I believe he will give a good acocunt of himself when he takes his seat in congress. ' ' The newly elected comrreatiman h been assigned to room. 232 in the house building. That is unless some older member asksfor the office. In such ;in eventuality the Gastonia man may be forced to take an office on the ground floor, which are not quite as desirable as those on the upper floors. Major Bulwinkle will offer the place as private secretary to Justice Rudisill, of Maiden. Like Congressman Yates Webb, now federal district judge, Major Bulwinkle has an idea that the office of secretary belongs to the people and he will make changes at intervals. After RudMill has bcn here for about one term the t-ongremniui will offer the pl:uc to Some other young man who n-iile in Sis district. Former Congressman Webb found that this plan worked very well as it gave quite a, number of young men an opportunity to come to Washington and attend night law school, if they desired to do so.

Action on the measure which would put a virtual embargo tariff on a score of farm products will be asked for Tues day, or Wednesday at the latest, in order to pass the measure if possible before the Christmas recess. Opposition to the legislation, however, was developing today on several sides. Representatives from the manufactur ing districts expressed dissatisfaction with the bill as framed because id did not include enough manufactured articles. Traditional opposition to any high tariff still held among some of the democrats while other members asserted that en actment of such legislation would result in an increase in the cost of living.

FOUND BY LEVER ACT WHEAT (By The Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec 20.(By The Ae- ' sxiated Press.) The president ia out power under existing law "to out wheat-imports," but he "apparently has certain powers under the Lever to stop future trading in wheat," fto ieuerai xraae commusion says la a cial report to President Wiladn, public today at the white house. The commission says that "while dence is not available that future trading? is responsible for the decline in wheat. . prices, it does not appear that fatanr trading in wheat as at present pperatisV is of indisputable service to the graze, trade." . It suggests, however, that if regulatory action is to be employed, thev- question be considered by congress and that legislation 4 ' not connected with war powers be enacted." ' The commission tells the president ta because of the failure of the CUeagw '' board of trade to co-operate it was unable-' to obtain necessary information's Se whether there had been large tranaactieas- in wheat futures of a manipulative char- acter. As to the concentrated purchase as? wheat in this country by foreign govern ments which have undertaken to regmlal at home flour prices irrespective of tb . price of wheat, the commission deelaxe that if these purchases are to eontinwa "the desirability of the United 8tt meeting them through a selling oigsaia tion should be carefully considered." s The commission ' report ia based spear an investigation of the wheat aitoatiss which the president requested it to anW last October after Governor Henry X Allen, of Kansas, and others had rgi him to bar Canadian wheat importotksa" and take such other action as nt risaeary to stabilize the then rapidly deettxonsj;' wheat market. Declaring "the decline of wheat pries would appear to be in part da country-wide and world-wide conditio,". the commission assigns seven epeetf causes : The outlook for an increased, world supply; decentrated buying byfo eign governments last spring and slack- .. of purchases later; "unprecedented importations from Canada, .followiasr "an unprecedented yield and a discount in rate of exchange"; the record break- ing, yield of corn in this coantryta slackening Of demand for flour; the eral tendency to decline in many modities, and the change in aredits ditions "with resulting disposition of distributors to refrain from adcumulatinX" usual stocks." ' Discussing the barring of Canadian wheat the commission says "it is ques tionable whether such a proceeding weald have the' effect its advocates expect, be cause the United States and Canada bot have surpluses to export, and will a est each .other in competition dither here "" in Europe. " While the commission devotes eonsidcr able space to a discussion of trading; a, wheat futures, it asserts that it is at now expressing an opinion on this ject as it would gi " "extendea ment" in a forthcoming report. . "Future contracts majy have a fcfgttV mat use for hedging.'' the sion says. "In this 'connection It claimed that future trading perfor insurance function where ordinary anee methods would apt be praetieeN and that undue restriction of future trad ing such as would deprive the grain trade of this service might result to grata era requiring larger margins and ouentlv result either in lower pri the fanner or higher prices to the a sumer.
