Association has put all or a part
of its tobacco every year of its
existence, except one. that year
it got its price without. No other
organization in the district has
ever financed or put up any to-
bacco, nor have they demonstat-
their ability to do so.
So long as the Association pools
so large a percentage of the crop
and holds it for good figures any
individual can sell his tobacco for
a good price. Any small pool can
do the same. but both is at the eX-
pence Of the members of the
Association. AS long as that or
ganizalion will consent TO stand
between you and danger. you are
all right. We know that your
intentions are good. You are
firing in the direction Of the en-
envy, but unfortunately, very I'M
fortunately, your shots are TAX
ing effect in the ranks of your
friends, the Association.
Every man who pools his to-
bacco in the Association is a
member of that organization. He
has as much authority in conduct
Jug its affairs, and shaping its
destinies. as any other member.
In it the majority rule. Its Of
ficers are elected annually. The
men who are now its officers are
such because they are the choice
Of a majority of the members. Its
business policy is what it is, be-
cause the majority so wills. Do
you know of fairer, or better
method.
If you should get the district
in another organization what
would you gain? You would GER
tainly expect the majority to rule
n that also. You certainly would
not expect persons not interested
in our type of tobacco to run our
affairs. Then in that case would
not the same ten-thousand men
who are now members of the AS
ISOLATION be in the majority in
that also? Is it safe to assume
that becauae you got them in a
differant organization that it
would change their views on bus
mess methods.
The writer Of this article is a
farmer. He is a tobacco grower.
His interests are identical to
that OF the fourteen-thousand
other growers of the district.
His only motive in writing this
is to try to better the condition
of these same tobacco growers
which includes himself. He has
been a member of the Associat-
ion, since its organization in this
County. He has kept in close
touch with its business manage
men. While he knows that it
has payed to the farmers more
per hundred, after all expenses
were paid thar any otEcr organ
ization, he waves that argument.

VALUE OF A STRONG MEMORY
Some Who Possess Il Are Not~other,

eren Learn Readily.

While a strong memory is a great
convenience, it is not necessarily an
advantage.
Cardinal Mezzofanti, whose memory
for words was so retentiye that he
never forgot ore after hearing it once,
and which enabled him to acquire
more than hundred languages, was
/ in most respects a very ordinary per-
son. Pliny relates that MithTidates.
1 king OF pontus, had SO excellent a
memory that he was able to speak
/ fiuantly % languages native to the
| provinces Of his vast empire. Yet he
was cruel barbarian
A we'll known peripatetic elocution
list and reaiter still living declares
that he can repeat, without further
preparation, about 5000 selections in
prose and poetry. He probably tells
/ the truth, since he has been training
his mind in this particular direction
for many years.
I On the other hand, such men as Sir
Walter Scott, Macaulay, and Glad
stone were not only possessors Of ex-
cellent memories, they were also men
of good judgment.

the most remarkable memories. I'm

seven years Of age.
And they accomplish this remark
able feat without any aid from tho
-nnemonic devices to which adults are
compelled to resort when they under
take a similar task. They learn words
and phrases unconsciously, and rarely
forget them as long as they live. On
the other hand, groWn-ups rarely ac-

IN MEMORY

To the memory of Mrs. Chas. Phelps who de-
parted this life at Grand Rapids Mich. Nov
28th. 1911. Words by Mrs. c. S, Raymond of
Hackley. Wisconsin.
None knew her but to love her,
She kept none of her sunshine
under cover,
And all who came into its light,
Was made to feel happy cheerful
and bright.
And when we heard the church
bells toll,
We wept ach and every soul,
AS We knew our loved one had
passed away.
And prayed that we might meet
again in that great day.
Rest dear friend from all pain
and woe,
While We struggle on here below.
And we will meet you at the
great white throne,
When the Lord comes to claim
his own
