Earthquake In Ecuador.

Gauyaquil. Ecuador, Oct. O.
Four heavy earthquakes early
today did serious damage at Ri
obamba, the capital of Chimbo-
razo province, which lies about
eighty-five miles from Guaya-

throughout the day, but with di-
minishing intensity. At the

will be no machinery in the pla-

other laborsaving devices.
The plan Of the company is to
sell four ounces of pure, natural
leaf enclosed in pasteboard car
tons about sixteen inches long,
four inches wide and two inches
deep. In the case of smoking
tobacco, it will be placed in the
box without wrapper, but in the
case of chewing tobacco it will
be enclosed in waxed paper,
which will preserve the tobacco
in proper condition over period

TOBACCO TIDINGS.
BY r. F. WHEELER.
The Last Appeal
By T. M. Dean.

L
for next year have been elected
The 1910 crop all sold, the divi
dend paid. and as buyers hav'
begun to inquire, as to how mucl
we have pooled in Crittendel
County, / see no excuse TO
growers to continue to halt be
tween two opinions.
Will you pool or will you sci
to independent buyers?
The question which was the
most interested in my welfare
was all | had to settle. Every
sane man knows that the buyers
are in business for their own
profit. Every man who knows
any thing about the situation,
knows that the Association was
formed to keep these dealers
from eXacting unreasonable
profits from the grower, and that
it has been successful.
Still their is a disposition on
the part of some to put off pool
ing. Why is this? | wish to
rotice some so called reasons.
Some say that we are night
riders. If it cin be proven that
any niIht riding was ever done
by either organization that asks
YOU to pool in Crittenden Co..
! will promise to resign my posit-
ion. and spend all my spare time
next year in opposing both Of
them.
But you say that the independ-
ents sell for the most money.
How do know? The buyers told
you did they? These buyers are
nice, clever, honest men, and
perhaps think they are telling
the truth. But ask him what his
purchase last year cost him per
hundred pounds, and then get
the average price paid to poolers
in the Association. You seem
to be willing to accept his state
ment, but if you were in a law
suit with the man that is paying
him to do this talking, your la W.
yer could not allow him to sit
on the jury, for fear that the
relation between the two might
influence his verdict. Still you
accept it without thinking.
He says that he will pay you
more than you can get in the
Association. Let us see.
1t is according to twentieth
century business methods, for
a firm to pay to one man more
for an article than it can get the
same article elsewhere, if they
can help it. In this case they
could help it by buying pooled
tobacco. They could get this
ir i,arge quantities and save the
expense Of putting men in the
field.
Yes but the boys on the out
side guy me ard say that they
got the most, and take no risks,
yet | believe the association keeps
up the price of tobacco, | believe
will stay out this year.
There is a little Bible story
of a very strong man, but a very
thoughtless one, who in order to
get even with those who taunted
him, pulled whole house down
on them. He too persisted in the
fall. Take warning. if the house
falls, you and your neighbors,
and every business interest in
five great counties will get caught

full of your own safety.

HERE is THE PLAN.

Fer twelve months. as local to-
bacco men will bear me out,
have argued that our tobacco,
since the change in the law,
which change permits growers
of tobacco to sell it in the leaf to
dealer, who will resell in the leaf
to consumers, that our tobacco.
| say, could and should be hand
led right here at home.
! For, be it clearly understood
that, thanks to the able and per-
sistent labors of the Hon. A. o.
Stanley in the main, tobacco may
under the new law. be sold by
the producer in the leaf without
the payment of the 6 percent
tax, to a dealer who NAV resell
in the leaf to consumers tax
free. And it will only require a
few years time to habituate con-
sumers to the use Of unadulterat'd
tobacco in the leaf will know the
quality of tobacco they are buy
ing, both for smoking and chew
ing. Whereas trash tobacco,
and damaged tobacco adulterat-
ed with licorice, glucose. sand
and cEeap sugar, and the good
Lord only knows what other
cheap adulterants. is palmed off
on consumers all of which is
exactly six cents tax per pound.
Right here in Henderson, the
metropolis of the Stemming dis
trict, is the ideal location for a
leaf tobacco company to locate
and buy of producers tax free
leaf and supply consumers with
the same tax free.

COMPANY TO HANDLE LONG

Charles E. Dexter and F. M.
Spiller, of Hickman, are in LOU
isville arranging to open head
quarters for the Kentucky Far
mers' Tobacco Company of Hick-
man, KY. The company is in
corporated with a capital stock
of $3.50. 900, divided into shares
of SO each. There has been
subscribed by residents of Hick-
man and West Tennessee a total
of sos, 600 and much stock has
been taken locally by persons
familiar with the products of the
of the company.
The company was incorporated
in July, and despite the fact
that it's factory at Hickman has
not been completed, it has orders
on hand which will keep it busy
far into the winter. The plant
at Hickman will be ready for
business in about three weeks.
1t will be one of a string of plants
which will be located in the var
ious tobacco growing sections
from which the company will
procure its material. The COM
pany will produce eight differ
ent grades of hurley tobacco at
the beginning, and later, it will
add other grades of Burley for
both smoking and chewing.
The feature of the company's
business lies in the fact that it's
product will be the pure, natural

the corn belt has been stretched
steadily northward, and while not a

Dakota needs more and better corr to

Development LEAGUE TO
BOOST SEVEN STATES
Organization Formed at Helena Opens
Office and Announces Land Show.
North Dakota Is Included.

North Dakota has joined six sister
states and the territory of Alaska in
a movement to encourage settlers to
come to the Northwest instead of 60
ing to the South, Southwest or into
Canada. The states which compose
the Northwestern Development League
are North and South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon.
These states, through their CONNER
cial clubs and immigration officials,
will put on an organized cooperative
advertising campaign aimed to attract
settlers to the states in the league
and, in a measure at least, stem the
tide of people going to Canada and to
the South. 1t will be the object Of
the league to bring these people
through the st. Paul-Minneapolis gate
way, instead of having them go
through Kansas City, where they are
sure to go to the Southwest, or
through Omaha, where they will go
on to Utah, Arizona or California.
The headquarters of the league are
to be in st. Paul. Lewis Penwell, a
millionaire ranchman and live stock
owner, is the president and Will A.
Campbell permanent secretary. Mr..
Campbell, with Governor Burke of
North Dakota, headed the movement
several years ago to secure money to
improve the Missouri river and it re-
suited in a $4,000, 900 appropriation
by congress.
The first thing the league will do
is to give a land products show in ST.
Paul Dec. IL to % for the seven states.
No other states will be permitted to
exhibit and Canada Is barred. With
1,750,OOO people within $50 miles of
st. Paul 1t is expected 100000 will
attend this show. North Dakota Is to
have a large state exhibit,
