GOOD WILL CRUISE PLANNEDBYM.& M. Association to Start Friday on Trip to River and Bay Points. Setting forth on their traditional pilgrimage to points in neighboring States to carry a message of good will from Washington to the busi- ness interests of other cities, 225 members of the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Association will em- bark Friday afternoon on a three- day cruise of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay for the eighteenth annual “Boosters’” trip of the or- ganization. ¢ Combining the highest business principles with an elaborate pro- gram of recreation and carefree fun. the Washington business leaders will visit many of the enterprising urban centers along the bay section of the Jastern coast to tell merchants there that Washington is a good place to trade with, with profit to them and ‘Washington alike. The three-day voyage, according to the tradition of the past few years, will be made on the steamer South- Jand. which has been specially char- tered for the event, and the maximum number of reservations was limited to ure commodious quarters for 2ll on the long outing. While a small number of reservations are yet avail- able, indications are that the ship will carry a capacity crowd when it slips from the dock here at 2:30 Friday aft- ernoon. Notables Included in Party. Officials of Washington and the chairmen of the House and Senate committees and notables have been invited to make the trip as guests of honor, and already acceptances have been received from Commissioner Dougherty and Representative Zihl- man. The itinerary and program of the boosters’ trip, announced today by Brig. Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Assoclation, reveals that whereas the merchants last year featured their voyage with an inspection of the shin- building activities in the Chesapeake in relation to its economc effect upon Washington and nearby communities, the boosters this year will feature their outing with a study of the air- plane research and training ork going on at Langley Field, Va. An air port for Wsshington. ‘which is being sought actively by the Capi- tal, it is expected, will be given prime consideration : - the merchants in their inspection of the famous war- time field, which now plays a promi- ment part in the Nation’s air progr-m.

Blue Serges For Graduation Included C., TUESDAY, HOOVER GIVES STAR RESUME OF VIEWS ON FLOOD STATUS (Continued from First Page.) counties told of conditions in their re- spective localities, and, except for a few instances, the situation was not overly encouraging. The farmers and plantation owners have forsaken cot- ton as a rule and are casting about for some crop that may be planted in August and that will produce a harvest capable of .being turned into money. Soy beans were. advocated by Secre- tary Hoover, but a number of the planters were of the opinion thatthey would not produce well in Mississippl so late in the season. If it isn't soy beans, the question of any ‘“cash crop” this year in the wet sections of the State becomes almost hopeless. $800,000 Is Needed. Washington County, first of the counties to be submerged in Missis- sippl, also will be the last to come out. Leroy Percy, chairman of the county’s rehabilitation committee and otherwise known as the poet laureate of Mississippl, declared that the Red Cross may have to continue providing food to his county through July and August, now that the new flood has complicated the county’s plight. More than $800,00 will be required to replace houses and buildings totally destroyed by the rush of waters through the - Mounds Landing cre-) vasse, Mr. Hoover was advised. A total of 2,200 plantation cabins were completely wa:".ed away and piled up JUNE 14, 1927. he was told. More than half of the 52,000 inhabitants of ~Washington (County lost every bit of household fur- niture and farm implements in their possession, and more than a quarter of a million doltars will be needed to ive these ‘estitute fami'' s sets of the: plainest furniture with which to [start life anew.

( The estimate of houses destroyed does not include those partly damaged | and that may be repaired, it was as | serted. Hundreds of cabins have been | twisted” from thelr frafl foundations | or have lost a porch, chimney or some other appurtenance. The Red Cross is feeding 42,000 per- sons In Pereys County. which em braces the city of Greenville and the town of Leland. Fifteen thousand dollars is alloted weekly to these refugees for food and cattle feed. It will take an additional $150,000 of Red Cross funds to con tinue this relief through August, it | was estimated. i In East Bolivar County $350,000 will be needed to rebuild houses and farm structures lost in the flood. This coun- ty is one of the few which are coming out of the water at a fast pace. It ex- pects to be able to replant 30,000 acres by July’5. None of this, of course, can be planted in cotton at that date, > SAVINGS /OThe Wage Earner’s Bank in broken, unrecognizable ~masses miles from theit original locations, Mrs. Samue 906-908 Pone Adasns 5501 RK ROAD COFFEE 8 P (w s dderth) Park Koad ABKWAY FILLING TATION (0ot 'l‘lulJ Park R ABBY’ S| Adam: 1 B, ROBINSON & SON indian Spri 2018 Taeh" (081, 5550 ROSENFFLD'S Homemade Bread, Cakes, Pastri Arcadia Ma Pies, W SnEA Dependable’ Conl Serviee v 732 Morton St. (Adams 1258) WM.
