THE TOBACCO SALE

w. B. Ford and Lee Duke, owners
of the Upper Cumberland Loose Leaf
Tobacco floor at Carthage held their
first sale of the season last Tuesday.
1t was highly pleasing to them, to
their friends and to the patrons of the
floor that the prices paid for tobacco
at this sale were higher than those
paid at recent sales in other localities.
80 cents per pound was the highest
price received and the average price
paid was18.4 per pound, and scarcely
any tobacco was rejected.
The fact that practically the same
grade OF tobacco brings more on the
floor at Carthage than elsewhere is
due mainly to the efforts of Ford &
Duke. They are tobacco dealers of
unusual experience, high class men
and are thoroughly reliable in ali
their dealings. They have spent large
sums of. money getting a loose leaf
floor started at Carthage; they have
used every means for the con-
Nenlence and accommodation of their
patrons; they have sought and secured
the largest tobacco buyers in the
country which makes the bidding
and is largely responsible for
the high prices received; and every
thing else possible has been done to
create a first-class tobacco market
at Carthage. No other enterprise has
been established in the Upper Cum
berland that has proven to be as valu-
able to the tobacco growers as has
the loose leaf floor at Carthage, and
w. B. Ford and Lee Duke are wholly
responsible for it's establishment !
While it is hoped that their enterprise |
has been profitable to them, it is evil
dent that the tobacco growers of the |
Upper Cumberland territory have re-
eeived the greatest profits and bene- |
fits from the loose leaf floor here. /
These facts should be borne in mind /
by the tobacco growers when eonsid- /
ering placing their tobacco on the
market.

CONGRESSMAN HULL

During the brief interim between
the recent adjournment of Congress
and the new session, which convenes
next Monday, Congressman Cordell
Hull spent a few days with his con
stituents. He left Carthage Tuesday
for Nashville, where he viii stay a
day or two before returning to his
post at Washington.
People of the Fourth District ap-
preciate their distinguished represen-
tative in Congress. At the expiration
of his present term, he will have serv-
ed twelve years, during which time
he has gained a national reputation
as author of the income tax bill and
has otherwise rendered especially
valuable service in shaping financial
matters of the country. He has at
tanned the very highest rank in the
legislative body of the nation and we'll
deserves the many honors he has
received. He stands third on the
Ways and Means Committee in the
House and within a few years is sure
to be made chairman which is
the most important position in Con-
gress. Recently his name was pro-
minently mentioned as the probable
successor to Secretary of the Treasury
Carter Glass, and while he had no as
pirations for this honor, had it been
given to him, he would have filed the
high place most acceptably. He stands
close to President Wilson and enjoys
the full confidence Of those high in
authority at Washington.
In all matters pertaining to his Of
fetal duties, Congressman Hull has
been faithful, laborious ard pains
taking; he has been strictly attentive
to business, yet extremely courteous
and thoughtful of his constituents
whose interests he has protected.
These qualities, coupled with his
splendid ability, give the Fourth Dis
trict a representative in Congress OF
whom the nation can well feel proud
If other Districts could boast of repre-
sentatives of Congressman Hull's cali
bre, there would long since have been
laws on the statutes looking to oul
protection during such periods as we
are now suffering because of the
Bolshevism and other agencies tina
are seeking to disrupt our govern
ment.
Throughout past emergencies. Con
gresham Hull has "stood by tn
guns; he has been loyal to the trust
faithfully performing his duties witt
the single view to lettering condi
tions and protecting the welfare of tn
nation. What is more, he can be de
pended upon to further dilligentl
watch after cur interests.
At this time especially is the natio

COOPERATIVE BUYING SAVES

Farmers Clubbing Together to
Buy Poison.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
An instance of the value of cooper
tive buying is found in the recent ac
ton of a group Of farmers in Ogange
county, Florida, who combined theil
orders for carbon bisulphid and placed
them through their county agent. The
purchase totaled 1000 pounds and thu
material was secured at a saving OF
3S cents a pound under the price thai
would have been charged for individ
ual purchases in small quantities, 81
that the deal represented a saving o.
$3.50 to these farmers. This carbon
bisulphid will be used in fumigatinI
the corn to kill corn weevils. Losse'
from this source sometimes are a
much as 20 per cent. The farmer
who are planning to fumigate thei
corn either have remodeled their oil
cribs to make them alright or hav'
built new ones.

not relate to cash. If possible, the full
receipts Of each day should be depos-
tied in the bank. All cancelled checks
should be filed in numerical order, and
duplicate checks should be covered by
indemnity bonds. The cash or check
register and the bank pass book bal
ance should be reconciled each month,
and a permanent record kept of this
agreement. Checks, sales slips, re-
ceipts and the like should be numbered
with a numbering machine, and any
which are spoiled in use should be
marked void or left in the book. A
regular system should be used for ac'
knowledging all cash sales or miscel-
