RENT OR RlJX7

confronts young people as they start

which is the wiser and more econom-
ical course to pursue. While clrcum-

OF larger cities may make the plan OF

opinion that under average conditions

the fact that in period OF twelve
years one would pay out I'm rent con-
siderably more than tie place rented

destructive have the attacks of these
Night Riders been during the past year
that many Of the independent tobacco
growers of the state referred to have
had to vacate their plantations and

these vicious attacks on the independ-

by the Tobacco Growers associa ton.

agreement the members have been
able to raise the price OF tobacco from

In many states health laws impose a
severe penalty for the selling of milk,
cream or butter from cows which are
known TO be afflicted with tuberculosis.
In states where no such laws exist the
creamery manager and the individual
dairymen should exercise every posi-
bic precaution with view TO locating
and wedding out animals that may be
sickly, and especially those that show
symptoms of being afflicted with this
disease. The use OF the milk from such
animals is a source of danger not only
