JACKSON, Miss,, February 5 (P).—The Mississippl Senate Monday voted to invite Carlos Davila, Chilean Ambassa- dor, to address the Legislature, but de- clined to tender an invitation to wil- liam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. A concurrent resolution inviting Mr. Green _struck unexpected opposition when Senator E. C. Barlow, Brook- haven, charged that the American Fed- eration of Labor was “un-American,” sald Senator Barlow, “do not want Green to come here and talk.” MOTHER DISCOVERS --DAUGHTER PROFITS | Finds REM brings quick cough relief The Drummond family of 1322 Watson Ave., St. Paul, Minn., enjoy good health at most times, but coughs do come their wa; occasionally. Mrs. Drummond, one time, was suffering from a bad cough when a kindly neigh- bor recommended REM. To Mrs. Drummond’s delight, “REM re- lieved me almost at once and T've had a good word for it ever since.” Later on _when little “The laboring men, those who "’“-"i 1930, (1880 WoobwArD & LoTHROP 1930 ] = OLDEN ANNIVERSARY Vo Tomorrow—Last Day to Subscribe to the Community Chest Gayl ) -Colored Cretonnes New Arrivals Bring Spring-like Color to the Semi-Annual Selling 40c yard Forty cents a yard seems a low price, before you see them . . . after you wit- ness the cheery array of colorings, and see the inspirations that abound for slip covers and draperies . . . recog- nize the unusually lovely quality ... you are more than impressed with the savings afforded. troduced in the Senate without the provision providing for Federal con- tribution, and was passed. When it came to the House the committee on the library renewed adherence to the position it took last year, which the House then ratified, and again ratified this week. Representative Luce explained that the land on which the new building is to be erected is the property of the United States, and a similar building has been erected on the north side of the square. It was provided by Con- gress that one-half of the money which that other building cost should be con- tributed by the Government and one- half raised by the Red Cross through subscription. As a matter of fact, the Red Cross, through the energy of Miss| Mabel Boardman, executive secretary,| raised considerably more than one-half | the cost of the building. | It is now proposed, Representative Luce pointed out, to replace a building | on the south side of the same lot which ;. Florence got a cough, what more natural than that her mother should remember her own happy experience with REM. And once again REM “made good” in the Drummond family.
