Earring GETS WHEAT
BAGS FROM INDIA

Last fall when the patriotic
call was made for farmers to
put in increased acreage of wheat
Madison county went over the
top by putting in the largest
acreage of wheat that was ever
sown in this county.
Weather conditions have been
such that the wheat has passed
through the winter in excellent
shape and is now entering the
harvesting period. Cutting will
begin in a few days. In antici-
patton of this big crop of wheat,
Earrings Mill bought $4,000 yards
of Burlap in Calcutta, India and
had it brought over on the steam
ship Keifuku Maru to New York,
where it was made into wheat
bags which were then shipped
here to Richmond, arriving Wed
nesday. Earrings Mill has also
installed an electric sack patch
ing machine, so as to keep all
holes in the wheat sacks patched
UP, thereby helping the farmers
save their wheat. Every bushel
of wheat saved will make that
much more food for the starving
people of Europe.

EFFORT TO KILL
TOBACCO CENSUS

. Obstacles are in the path Of those
tobacco manufactures whose pur-
pose is to have Congress repeal the
Cantrill tobacco census law. That
fact was established following con-
ferences that representative ]. Camp
bell Cantrill had with Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Daniel C. Roper
and Director of Census S. L. Rogers
at Washington this week.
A few days ago the National Cigar
Leaf Tobacco Association held its
annual convention in Lancaster, Pa.
This organization is made up of en-
tirely of manufactures and therefore
interests of tobacco growers were
not especially considered. A resolu-
ton was adopted by the association
calling for repeal of the Cantrill law,
which has been in the statute books
for seven years. 1t is well known
the Cantrill act was drawn for the
protection of tobacco growers, and it
has fully accomplished the purpose
for which it was drawn. 1t has large
ly increased the price of raw leaf to-
bacco and has brought great prosper
ity to tobacco growers in all parts of
the country. 1t is not to be wondered
at, in. view, of these circumstances, it
is pointed cut, that some tobacco man.
ufacturers are anxious to obtain re-
peal of the law, which would take
away from the farmers the protec-
ton it gives them, and to return to
the old days when growers were
forced to dispose of their tobacco
:. without adequate return.
| Resolutions as adopted by the Cigar
Manufacturers Association demand
that the Cantrill act be repealed and
that reports of stocks on hand be
made direct to the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, but do not provide
that stocks shall be reported to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue by
types.
Every grower, according to Mr.
Cantrill, knows that unless the re-
port of stocks is made by the differ
ent types of tobacco, the report is
utterly worthless so far as grow
ers are concerned; for instance, grow
ers of white Burley of each distinctive
| type are primarily interested in the
number Of pounds of the type they
grow, and to repeal the Cantrill ACT
and adopt the plan urged by the cigar
association would, in the opinion OF
well-informed persons here, ruin the
! purpose of the Cantrin act.
Mr. Cantrill had long conference
with Commissioner Roper and pointed
out danger to the farmer in repeating
this act. After considering the matter
carefully, Commissioner Roper told
Mr.. Cantrill he had no desire what
ever to take away from the Census
Bureau the execution of the Cantrill
tobacco census law, and that so far as
his department is concerned, it would
oppose its repeal.

EVANS TO HEAD
BOY SCOUT DRIVE

Mayor L. P. Evans received
telegram from former Secretary
of Treasury William G. McAdoo,
appointing him chairman for
Madison county in the Boy Scout
drive.
In America there are 10000, 600
boys between the ages of II and
and 81 who should be given the
benefit of Boy Scout discipline,
training and practice.
The membership of the Boy
Scouts of America today is 375,-
600. This is so small in proper
ton of 100000 that the week of
June 9Th to 18th inclusive, by
proclamation of President Wilson
has been set apart for the purpose
enlarging and strengthening the
Boy Scout organization. This
week is to be known the country
over as Boy Scout Week.
During Boy Scout Week it will
be the effort of an organization of
patriotic men and women, known
as the Citizens National Commit
tee, and headed by Hon. w. G.
McAdoo, to enroll one million
associate members of the Nation
al Council Boy Scouts of America.
The membership fee is ST and
as much more as the associate
member is disposed to pay.
The money received in men,
bership fees is to be expended for
the work of extending the move
ment of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, which is to say that many
more of the 100000 of these
great United States than now are
to have the benefit of the discip-
line, training and practice, that
enable the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica to render such valuable and
conspicuous service. in the activ-
tiles of the world war, in which
our great country furnished the
forces that terminated the con-
flict, destroying the rule of the
murderous Kaiser, and forever
subduing the Hun in his quest fol
empire.
1t should be a source of great
satisfaction and qualification tc
all fathers and mothers in thi:
wonderful land to see their son:
lin the uniform of the Boy Scout:
of America. That uniform spell,
better manhood. 1t is the garl
of intelligence, integrity and free
DOM.

permitted him to receive his di-
ploma from the hand of his faith
er, Rear Admiral Carlo B. Brit
tain, who occupied a seat on the
rostrum with the flag officers of
the fleet, members of Congress
and distinguished civilians. Mrs.

tor at the ceremonies, being a
guest of the Superintendent of
the Naval Academy for the occa-
sion.
AS an officer of-the Kroonland,
Ensign Britain will have the op-
portunity to make several trips
to France, bringing home Uncle
Sans, returning soldiers, and so

officer. AS Midshiprnan during
the past year, he was Captain of
one of the sixteen companies Of
the Naval Academy Regiment,
and in the competitive work COW
ering the entire year, his COM

happy faculty of successful lead
ership.

and Baldwin Britain are well
known in Richmond and Madison
county and their many friends
wish for the young man the
success in the navy that has at
