THE CARTHAGE LOOSE LEAF
FLOOR is NOW FULL

Although the Upper Cumberland
Loose Leaf Tobacco Warehouse Co.
advertised that owing to unavoidable
conditions they were forced to post
pone the opening of the warehouse for
receiving tobacco until December Bird.
the farmers have been bringing the
tweed" in steadily for the past sever
al days and now the floor is filled. 1t
has been fully demonstrated and the
farmers have been duly warned that it
is not good idea to bring their to-
baeco to the floor unless it is in good
order. If your tobacco is in bad shape
of course it is going to bring a bad
price. Therefore it is money in the
farmers pockets to have their tobac-
co in the best of order when it is plac-
ed on the floor. 1t costs the buyer a
great deal more to re-dry tobacco than
it does the farmer, and if your tobac-
co is in bad order the buyer is going
to knock enough off the price to pay
him for the re-handling.
Messrs. Ford & Duke, proprietors
of the warehouse, use every means to
protect the interests of the farmers,
and that is one of the reasons why
the sale has been postponed. They
want the "SignS" to be exactly right
and have all the buyers possible pres
ent. It takes lot of buyers and good
tobacco to make livery market. And
that is what the proprietors of the
loose leaf floor work for all the time.
1t is thought the market will gradual
ly advance as the season advances
and for this reason the farmers have
been advised not to hurriedly rush
their tobacco on the market.
The first sale will be held on Tues
day, Dec. 10th. AS stated above the
floor is now full and unless you want
your tobacco to remain on the wagon
for several days you had better not
bring it in just now. There will have to
be another sale before there is room
for more tobacco. And remember, the
sales do not start until December 10,
and will have two sales each week. 4
or 5 sales before Christmas. Call or
phone the warehouse and they will
gladly advise you the time to bring
your tobacco.

$7.65 PER CAPITA BEHIND
IN WAR SAVINGS STAMP SALES

People of Smith County win be in
terested in knowing that we have sold
up to the last day of October within
the county through the banks, post
offices and other selling agencies a
total of $228, 992.75 in War Savings
stamps. The population of Smith
county has been estimated at Is, SAB
and with an allotment of $4,000 for
each person, the quota of this county
is 1870, 1850. Up to the first day of
November our sales have amounted
to $12.35 per capita, leaving the coun-
ty total of Sal ,967.25 yet to sell, or
per capita of $7.65. The State
Director, by direction and authority
of Hon. Joseph A. McCord, governor
of the Federal Reserve Bank for the
Sixth district, which has full author
ity in the We Savings campaign, has
set apart December IL as final pledge
redemption day when War Savers
are called upon to go to their regular
sales agency where now their pledge
cards are on file and there purchase
whatever balance of the pledges has
not been taken up to that time. This
county cannot afford to be trailing in
this matter. When the campaign ends
on the last day of the year we must
by all means be able to report to
State Director Preston that our pied
ges have been met in full and that
we have fulfill our signed obliga-
tions. 1t is confidently asserted that
if the pledges are thus redeemed this
county will have met it's full allotment
and will have made another record of
meeting the war demands of the gov
eminent. Aside from jealousy of our
record as a county, we are part of
the great state of Tennessee. Up to
date we lead every southern state in
War Savings and hold an honorable
place among them all. Smith county
is counted upon to help perfect Ten
der to maintain her proud position of
having not failed in any drive since
our country entered the great war for
world democracy.
