Join the Tobacco Growers Association

The directors of the Tobacco Grow
ers' Association recently appointed
committees in all the tobacco growing
districts for the purpose of convassin.
their respective districts in an effort
to enroll all growers of tobacco in the
association.
The prosperity of Southern Mary
land depends mainly upon the price OF
tobacco. The cheap prices re
ceived for this product in past years
has been the principal cause of ths
many run down and abandoned acres O
good tillable land throughout this sec
tion of the state. Already the goot
prices of the past two years are being
reflected in the newly painted house ,
new barns, auto trucks and cars OF
every side.
The only hope of the farmers for
continuation of the present prices. lie
in their forming a strong, effec
tive organization. Of course, it,
effectiveness will depend upon the pc
centage of growers joining and stick
ing thereto.
The Commission men have an orgar :
ization. and nearly every one else witt.
whom the farmer has to deal is ergani
zed, and it is almost a sure thing thai
the only guarantee the growers have
a continuation of the present profitabl
price is to organize too.
An excellent opportunity present
itself right now. Should you fail
grasp it, you may find out the mistak
when it is too late. Organization can
not possible hurt, but in all probability
will mean prosperity not only for tn
growers themselves but for the entir'
population of Southern Maryland.

famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inhamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the

larity. Judging from the crowd that
attended the meeting. The theatre was
packed and the ones who came late and
sought admission, so blocked the
streets, that IL was necessary for the
police TO force a way for Mr.. Bryan
through the crowds.
Mrs. Bryan Is a patient in Baltimore

loon League in this section, the oppor-
tunity OF having Mr.. Bryan speak In
