his voyage today.
Mr. Mason's principal mission is to
extend prompt relief to the emgfrants
now stranded between Hardin, Man

Considering the present world con-
ditions and the best interests of our
own country these unfortunates will
be aided and advised according to
their physical, mental and moral state.
Such as are inadmissible under our
immigration laws will, if possible, be
assisted to return to their native
countries, while proper connection
will be made for the others with their
relatives and friends in the United
States.
There are at least 5000 stranded
Jewish emigrants between Yokohama
and Hardin, Manchuria, and most OF
them are women and children eager
to join the heads of their families al
ready settled in the United States. It
is estimated that several thousand
more are stranded at different points

new METHOD OF
HANDLING AIDS
TOBACCO men
North Carolina Crop Strip
ped From Stalk In Field
By Hand Labor.

Winston-Salem. N. C.. Nov. ia
complete revolution in the method of
handling leaf tobacco from the time
it is gathered from the field until it
is ready for the market has been made
recently in Piedmont, North Carolina,
one of the largest tobacco growing
sections, to meet the increasing de-
mand for bright tobacco used in the
manufacture of cigarettes. The new
method saves labor, time and fuel.
For many years, the growers in this
district have bent their energies to-
ward raising heavy tobacco regardless
of the quality. since practically all of
the tobacco grown was used in the
manufacture of chewing tobacco.
They would allow the tobacco to ma
ture in the field and when it began to
turn yellow would commence gather
ing it, cutting the whole stock and
stripping the leaves after curing by
heat.
Under the new method, the leaves
are stripped from the stalk in the
field according to the degree of ripe
ness. The tobacco is topped in the
field so each stalk will have an aver
age of about twelve leaves, SO the
process of stripping requires about
four trips over the field, at intervals
of three or four days, allowing the
leaves to mature regularly and even
ly.
The new process has several points
of advantage, the first and main one
being that the leaf is allowed to cure
evenly and bright. The stripping
process, which permits of speedier
handling has resulted in much shorter
marketing time.
The average amount sold each year
on the Winston-Salem market in re-
cent years has been about 25 million
pounds, though the unusually short
crop of 1915 amounted to only about
II million pounds. Last year the crop
sold for an average Of about 18 cents
pound, the largest in the history of
the market. This year with more
than half of the crop sold, the aver
age price paid for it to November ]
was. more than 80 cents a pound.
