CRITTENOEN TOBACCO
GROWERS
A Letter From Committeeman ". B.
Rankin TO Mr.. J. n. Banks at
Henderson.


following letter from Commit
teeman w. B. Rankin of Crit
tenden county
Marion, KY. April "a, 1910,
Mr.. James N. Banks, Henderson
KY. Dear Friend;-I have called
for a meeting of the tobacco
growers of my county for next
Saturday. April 30, to discuss
the matter of pooling the pres
ent crop. Would be glad to
have you come down.
The prospects look reasonably
good for poolings this year.
Think we will come out all right.
Mr.. Banks, wish you would say
something in Tobacco Tidings
about my meeting, as = good
many of my people read the
Cleaner. Trusting you are all
o. X, | remain.
Yours truly,
w. B. RANKIN.
AS will be seen from Chair
man Rankins call, the meeting
will be held at Marion next Sat
urday, April 30, 1910.
The Crittenden county tobacco
growers has the choice of two
associations the Farmers I'm
ion and the Stemming District
in either of which he may
pool his 1910 crop of tobacco.
The duty of the Crittenden
county tobarco growers to HIM
self, it seems to me, is a very
simple one Both Associations
have records in Crittenden eoun-
ty.
Crittenden county tobacco
growers have sold tobacco
through the Farmers Union and
Crittenden county tobacco grow
ers have sold several crops
through the Stemming District
Association 1t is purely a mat
ter of business. Go to the rec
ords and ascertain which Asso-
citation has rendered best service
to the farmers of Crittenden
county. That is a simple mat
ter.
If the Stemming District As
ISOLATION has handed over to its
members in Crittenden county
more money net on an average
than has the Farmers Union
then the growers should sign
up with the Stemming Associa-
ton.
If on the other hand. the Far
mers' Union has handed over to
its members in Crittenden coun-
| ty more money net on an
average than has the Stemming
Association, the growers should
sign up with the Farmers I'M
ion.
The Stemming Association
simply say to the growers of
Crittenden county, Go to the
records and you will learn that
no association in existence has
realized for the growers of the
strip type of tobacco more money
than the Stemming Association.
In this regard we bind the world
to weet we stand up peerless.
The following officers of the
Stemming Association will go to
Marion next Saturday, April,
Both, to commune with the to-
bacco growers of Crittenden
county: William Elliot General
Manager. F. F. Brown, of Hop
kins; l. N. Baker, of Webster;
George l.. Campbell, Henderson;
Hiram T. Dean, Union Exc
cutive Commit e e m n-a n d
James Banks, Secretary, and
one or more speaker visitors.
Lovers of the cause Of farm
ers' cooperation should attend

was read from Leo Rocker of Globe offering to wrestle Christensen a re- turn match, for honors were even be- tween Rocker and Chris. The latter frankly stated to the audience that he had plenty of work cut out for him in this match-more than he an ticipated. Time was then called and the men began again the crafty leads and lodges.
 There was wild enthusiasm all through the final half of the match, but neither man seemed to be able to throw the other. Both felt the effects of the terrific strain, but both were game till the final call of time.
 There have been rumors that Jef- fries has a past" He is at present driving an express wagon out at Five Points. and can throw trunks around like tennis balls. But anyone who saw last nights match knows that Jeffries is no spring chicken in the wrestling game: it is said that he has been matched with some of the best men in the country. but he doesn't brag about it. He said last night that Christensen was one of the cleverest and fastest and also squarest men he ever went up against.
 Eddie Doyle. Jeffries' manager, de- sires to announce through The Re- publican that he will match Jeffries against Christensen for the best two out of three with s100 on the side. When this was told to w. c. Delzell. Christensen's manager. he agreed to accept it at once. T will make it $500 and the winner take all the gate receipts, if Doyle wants it that way" he said. So the prospect is fair for a return match.

linen suit is quite the most serv- iceable and pretties outfit for summer wear if a woman is travelling or if she goes downtown each day to business. Linen possesses a fresh. neat crisp ness which few other materials have, but linen suit needs constant care It must be pressed after each wearing or it will appear mussy, and there fore the girl who cannot have the luxury of an electric iron or the use of an ordinary flatirOn must consider the difficulties of keeping her suit in trim condition.

BIG SUGAR TRUST ROBBERS
LIKELY TO ESCAPE PUNISH.
MENr.

A dock superintendent was sent to
the penitentiary last week for
something that he did to help the
big Sugar Trust steal millions from
the government. But the discouraging
part of these Investigations and
prosecutions is the fact that the
men who have largely profited by
the robberies are liable to escape
punishment.
One object of every criminal pros
ecution is to deter others from COM
hitting like offenses. and unless those
who largely profit by crime can be
punished 1T might be full as well or
better to have no prosecutions OF
their poorly paid accomplices. Every
time a big robber escapes 1t encour-
ages the criminally inclined to be-
come big robbers.

fellows on the conviction of the dock
superintendent:

THE COUNTRY WEST OF THE Al

LY AGAINST CANNON
AND ALpRIcH.


The Chicago Tribune has taken a
poll Of the editors of all republican
and independent newspapers, in the
26 states which lie west of the Ale

shows overwhelming opposition to
Cannon for speaker of the next con-
gress and to the Aldrich-C Cannon tar
iff law.
The editors were asked these ques-
tons:
Is the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of
Illinois your choice for speaker of the
next congress?
Do you indorse the Aldrich-C Cannon
tariff law or the Aldrich- Cannon or

Iowa editors cast as votes for Can

1877 votes for the Aldrich- Cannon tai

ing when they baked and refused t
support the Aldrich-C Cannon rule.
These country editors represen

THE GIRL WHO MAKES THE VAL.

4 wonder If she ever gets
A'tender missive, II she pines
For love. and knows but vain regrets
The girl who makes the valentines.
All day she works at turning cranks,
ALL day upon her weary feet
She grinds the mill for Cupid,s
pranks-
A grist of tokens soft and sweet.
From girlhood on to spinster age
Mayhap she treads the tedious
round,
A toiler for trifling wage
The stingy grist by Commerce

In snowy shops the young gallant
Inspects the beautiful designs
And showers (his devotion scant)
A dozen bellies with valentines.
The ardent lover takes but one,
With paper hearts that cling and
curl
Like scented roses in the sun,
And sends it to the Only Girl.

Whose fingers deity put in bond
The cunning Cupid-from the task
Her fancies flying free and fond.
