TOBACCO PRICES
TAKE TUMBLE
All Grades Are Selling For Much
Less Money Than They Did a
Few Days Ago.

Like bolt from a clear sky the
prices of tobacco on the loose leaf
markets of the State dropped last
week and tobacco that had been SELL
ng for Is to 20 cents, dropped to
10 and IL cents, and the higher
grades are now off from 18 to 25
cents per pound. The buyers say
they cannot offer any explanation
ther than that they are acting un-
der orders from headquarters. We
were informed that no buyer for the
American Tobacco Co. was on the
floor of the Whitehall Warehouse
here yesterday. We heard one to-
bacco man say that the impression
had gotten out that there was a
shortage but that when a recapitu-
lation had been made it was found
that more than one hundred million
pounds more than bought last year
lad already been purchased and for
his reason the companies would
ave a good supply and did not feel
justified in paying the high prices.
mother gentleman suggested that
the manufacturers had gotten
1rmed at the arrangements being
made for tremendous crops next
year with the expectation of the
high prices paid this year and that
they were simply cutting down on
the price now in order to warn the
grower that he need not expect such
prices the coming season. In any
event the prices are away off and
those who have any tobacco are
rushing same to the market with all
possible speed.

Cloud was about fifty-two years ola

Miss Cloud was educated here,
for a period Of years taught school
here and in Lexington, and retiring
from the school room, was one of
the leading managers of the Hon. H.
VI. Bosworth's campaign which re-
suited in his election as State Treas
irer after one OF the most heated
contests ever waged in Kentucky,
much of his success being due to
her arduous and persistent labors.
A few years following Miss Cloud
became one of the largest owners of
the Peerless Laundry, making this
plant decided business success.
In her younger days she became
a member of the Mt. Sterling Baptist
church and developed into an acuve
worker in both church and Sunday
School. She possessed a lovely
character, loved and loving. She
was member of the First Baptist
church in Lexington, a cousin of
Mrs. w. P. Guthrie, of this city, and
was buried in the Lexington ceme-
terry. We sympathize with the dear
mother and sisters.

CITIZENS HOLD
MASS MEETING
Protest Against Proposed Raise In
Tax Valuations Of Montgomery
County.

"A large crowd Of citizens and
taxpayers of Montgomery county
met at the Circuit Court Room here
Saturday afternoon and organized
by electing Major d. j. Burchett,
Chairman and Mr.. w. f. Horton,
Secretary. After short addresses
were made by Mr.. Henry R. Prewitt,
Mr.. 7. j. Bigstaff and Judge E. w.
:Senff, the following resolutions were
adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS valuations of proper
ty for the purposes of taxation have
been increased in Montgomery coun-
ty five and half millions of dollars
in two years and whereas another
increase Of two millions is now pro-
posed by the State Tax Commission,
which, if added, will make an in
{, crease Of one hundred per cent in
said two years and
WHEREAS the proposed increase
is is unjust, inequitable, confscatory
and as we believe Illegal:
Now therefore be it resolved:
1st. That delegation of repl--
sentative citizens and taxpayers be
chosen at this meeting, to appear
before the State Tax Commission on
4 Wednesday, March 9TH, to acquaint
1T with the facts and protest against
!. its proposed action.
End. That S. English Anderson,
Robt C. Gatewood and H. NJ Prev
lit be appointed permanent Com
sttee to take future charge of this
subject, with authority, should the
State Tax Commission persist in its
proposed action, to solicit funds,
employ counsel and take such legal
steps, in the name of the taxpayers
of the county, as in their judgment
j may be necessary to secure justice
and fair treatment.
3rd. We recommend the absolute
repeal of the present tax law, which,
was cunningly drawn by certain in
terests, to shift in the main the bur-
den of taxation from personally to
atty and we condemn the State
Tax Commission for continuing to
yearly increase our assessment,
rafter the people of the county, in
good faith, voluntarily increased for
the purpose of taxation, the valua-
tions Of their property in 1918 to an
amount largely in excess of the sum
named by Hon. R. L. Greene, mem
ber of the Commission and Hon.
Ben Marshall, its clerk, at q public
meeting Of our citizens and which
action, on the part Of our people

Prevention of Disease Among Work

Prevention of Disease Among Work
The economic loss from p%reventa-
bic illness among workers is very
large.
1t has been stated that there were
some 10000 0 cases of illness
among workers, occasionlng an an
nual economic loss of $4,000, 000. This
statement is perhaps somewhat eXag-
gerated, but there is ample evidence
for supposing that the economic loss
from illness is very high.
A large part of this loss IS pre-
ventable. A very effective method for
reducing this loss from Illness is the
medical supervision Of workers.
Present interest in medical super
vision had It's origin in the Safety
first" movement. This safety move
ment has served to concentrate the
attention of the industrial world in a
way, possible In no other manner, on
the Importance of health in the alb
stract. 1t has caused an extension of
measures, originally intended only to
prevent accidents, so that they will
also serve to prevent disease.
Any system OF medical supervision
for workers should include the fol-
lowing points:
1. Physical examination Of work.
crs.
2. Careful records of the physical
examinations.
8. Prevention of communicable dis
eases among workers.
4. Education of workers in methods
of keeping well.
5. Flrst-aid and medical attention,
and
@. Prevention of occupational dis
eases.
The introduction of systems OF
medical supervision will be of meal
