LOCAL BOARD TO FURNISH
NUMBER OF BOYS DURING MAY

1
The local board was called on
to send three grammer school
graduates to the University of
Kentucky. at Lexington, KY, to
take a course in Mechanical
training. The young men selec-
ted were Andrew Carpenter,
Carthage; Willis B. Davis, Rid
dleton; Billy Martini Young.
Dixon Springs. These young
men left last Monday for Lexing-
ton.
Three more young men will be
sent TO Fl. Oglethorpe, Ca. on
May 18th. Those selected under
this call are Leslie Simpson,
Jesse Reed and Dave Anderson.
The war department has re-
Gently issued a call for a large
number of registrants for army
service within the coming few
weeks. In this call it is thought
something like 45 boys will be
taken from Smith county, and
the call will begin May 18th.
There are something like 125
Smith county boys remaining in
Glass /. All of this number
have passed the local examina-
tons, and judging from past
records practically all of them
will pass the physical examina-
tons at the training camps, and
it will likely be some time yet
before Class One registrants
have become exhausted.
In the bill up before congress,
requiring all boys who have be-
come 81 years of age since last
June to register, an agreement
has been reached whereby none
of these boys will be placed in
service until all now in Class
One have been taken.
You see our boys are contin-
uing to go to the army, there
fore, we must continue to sup
port the Red Gross and all the
other war work. The Kaiser
and his flock of Huns are never
idle. neither can we be idle unit
the victory has been won. Gel
ready and join the Red Gross
campaign which will be put or
in Smith county, beginning
April Goth.

FORD & DUKE PURCHASE THE
CARTHAGE & GALLATIN FLOORS

A business change of unusual
ly large proportions took place
some time ago when w. B. Ford
and Lee Duke of Can thage pur-
chased the entire interests of the
loose leaf floors of the Upper
Cumberland Loose Leaf Tobacco
Warehouse Co., at Carthage and
Gallatin. The Company was
organized some years ago by
Messrs. Ford and Duke with w.
G. Schamburger and Ed Ander-
son of Gallatin as associates.
They established houses at Car
thage and Gallatin, and both
have proven a success, but owing
to the other pressing business
matters Messrs. Schamburger
and Anderson disposed of their
interests in the two houses,
1t should be gratifying to the
tobacco growers that the houses
have been acquired by Messrs.
Ford & Duke, as they are ex-
perienced and familiar with the
conditions and have the ability
to make the enterprises success
full to themselves and the farm
ers as well. 1t is sure that Ford
& Duke will continue to own
and operate the floor at Car
thage, but as yet no announce
ment has been made as to just
what disposition will be made of
the Gallatin floor. The business
change required several thous-
and dollars and the many friends
of Messrs. Ford & Duke have
faith that they will make the
business even more successful in
the future than it has been in
the past.
Since the establishment of the
loose leaf floor here Ford &
Duke have been conducting q
brokerage business and have
handled many thousands pound:
of tobacco for some of the larges
manufacturers and buyers in th'
| United States. This season the,
have been buying on all TIN
floors in the Tennessee ant
southern Kentucky territory
handling more than two and on
; quarter million pounds, values
at $457, 500. They are indee
live business wires. They no
! only take care of the interest o
t the farmers by building loos
: leaf floors, but they use ever
means to bring buyers to Car
thage that will insure the farm
: ers the highest market prices fc
z their tobacco.

OVER THREE MILLION POUNDS
TOBACCO SOLD At CARTHAGE

The last sale of the present
season was held by the Upper
Cumberland Loose Leaf Ware
house last Friday. Owing to the
extremely dry weather only
about %, 900 pounds were offer
ed, however. it is thought that
practically all Of the tobacco in
this territory has been sold. At
the conclusion of the sale last
Friday it was announced that
the warehouse would be re-
opened between the 10Th and
Both of October.
The present season was by far
the best in the history of the
warehouse, there being exactly
: 8, O58. 200 pounds of tobacco sold
this year. The average price
sfor this season was $17.27I per
hundred, the gross receipts of
all tobacco sold amounting to
1923. 1920. The prices received
= this year have broken all re-
cords and the tobacco growers
have been well paid for their
labors.
There is no doubt but the
loose leaf floor at Carthage has
proven to be the salvation of the
tobacco growers of this section,
and the figures below easily
prove the growing popularity OF
the warehouse. Three years age
the warehouse only handled 8
little more than a million and q
half pounds; last year the tota
amount handled was increased tt
a little more than two and Z
quarter million; while this year
the amount handled reached tt
more than three million.
The establishment of the loose
leaf foor has done away with the
old "A and 6" prices the farmers
used to be paid for THEN tobacco

and today they receive many
times that amount. The ware
house brings market right into
the midst of the tobacco growers
and the farmer can see, know
and study the conditions, and he
is assured to receive the full
market value of his product.
The business of the warehouse
has increased in such proper
&ions that the management has
been forced to supply more room
each year. and now the floor at
Carthage is one of the largest
and best arranged of any to be
found throughout the country.

By J. Mach.

To a Washington composer and
artist belongs the distinction of haV-
ing put into tangible form the idea
of the unity OF purposejo the United
States today with that of her allies
in the great war.
This has been done in the form
of a flag that is unique in both the
breadth and sentiment of its SYM
bolism.
Designed and painted by Miss VIII
muth Gary, who as composer was
awarded the medal and diploma for
musical composition at the Worlds
Fair. this flag of America and her
allies bears upon the. scroll OF q
shield OF the allies the motto: LIB
erty, Humanity, Democracy" 1t was
first used in public at the Washing
ton celebration OF the first national
community song day. when Mrs, A. NJ.
Blair waved il from the stage dur
ing this great community festival.
Set upon a pure white ground, the
