his tobacco and two or more grow
ers may pool their tobacco and en-
ploy an agent to sell for all of them,
but he must work on straight sal

growers sells on a commission basis
he at once becomes a dealer in the
Interpretation Of the law and liable
for the tax on dealers. All sales by
an agent must be conducted in the
name of the grower or growers rep
resented by him and all receipts must
be turned over in fun to the grow
ers, without any deductions what
ever. Salary may then be paid to the
agent, otherwise he renders himself
liable for the dealers tax.

100000 spic and span new cars
for 1920, over 100000 now in use,
must have electrical equipment for
starting and lighting. How it can be
accomplished since battery makers
cannot meet the demand is to be
demonstrated by series Of Prest-
O-Lite conventions being held from
coast to coast.
Mr.. w. B. Day, of the Strother
Motors Company, is in Indianapolis
this week attending one of these con-
ventions held for Prest- 0-Lite Serv-
ice Station distributors.
About III cities will be repre-
scented from Kentucky, West Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan.
"The life of storage battery
should at lease be two years." said
Mr. w. B. Day, and by organizing
highly developed service to motorists
from coast to coast we plan to edu-
cate the automobile public in the
simple elements which do 80 much to
psolong the life Of the battery.
with millions of people driving
their own cars demand has been
created for absolutely reliable start
ing apparatus and safety first re-
quires a dependable lighting system.
"This propaganda has been care
fully compiled and will be spread
through magazine and newspaper adj
vertising.
"Of course there is tremendous
work to be done, but if the plans l
have read are carried out, by the
end Of 1920 people will give their
lighting and starting equipment no
more thought than they give the tele-
phone or electric light. In other
words Presto Lite, which was the
pioneer service to motorists in Amer
lea, is pushing ahead to make that
service spuncture proof

TOBACCO POOL LAW
is EXPLAINED

The pooling of tobacco by farm
ers for sale through an agent is
permissible and does not violate any
internal revenue law, as long as the
agent is paid a straight salary and
not commission, according to a de-
cision of Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue Roper, transmitted to Con-
gresham Kincheloe, of Kentucky.
Commissioner Roper states in his
letter to Mr.. Kincheloe that grow
ers may sell tobacco to anyone with
out payment Of internal revenue tax
or compliance with other require
ments SO long az the tobacco is sold
in its original state, just as it is when
cured. Any treatment beyond that of
putting it into hands and drying it
renders the seller liable to the tax
and regulations applicable to a deal
or in tobacco.
According to the same authority, any

the providence of God our lot is
cast, but that loyalty does not
imply that we must cut ourselves
loose from our brethren of the
faith III other lands. So far as
we hold a common faith we are
still one spiritual brotherhood.
Political boundaries and differ
enceS of language must not be al
lowed TO form a barrier between
us. Some people in France were
very much surprised when they
heard that our European Com
mission was also to include Ger
man Lutherans in their visits.
But why should even a world
wal be allowed to cut asunder
the bond of faith which unites us
with all who confess the Faith
of Augsburg2 This is the dan
ger in Europe at this time. Ma
tional feeling runs so high that
it is in danger of overriding all
else. When carried to extremes
it can but lead to religious per-
secution. Where the use of a fore
ign language in public worship
is forbidden, it can not but in
terfere with the right of public
worship in general. You may as
well forbid a mar to worship
publicly at all as to try to com
pei him to worship in a language
he does not understand. There
have been cases brought to our
notice, especially in the new
Roumania, and Czecho-Slovakia,
where the nativistic spirit has
plainly resulted in religious per-
secution. Let Lutherans beware
of this narrowmindedness. Let
us be broadminded enough in
matters of faith to lift ourselves
above language and nationality.

Disseminated against and pros
ecuted for their religious con-
victions. Succh creatures as Ne
70 we're looked upon as a dis
grace to humanity. Who would
have thought that at this late
date in the worlds history the
martyr scenes of the first three
centuries of Christian history
and the days of Jesuit persecu-
ton could be repeatedY And
yet we have lived to see humid
reds and even thousands exiled,
tortured and killed for their
Christian faith. The story of the
Lutheran martyrs in Finland and
the Baltic Provinces puts one
back two thousand years in the
worlds history. Think of strip
ping a man stark naked in mid
winter, making him run along
after a sleigh on the ice for
miles and then dropping him in
to a hole cut in the icel Men
were crucified, buried alive, and
submitted to nameless tortures
such as only the devils in Hell
could have invented, and all
simply because they were Luth-
eran Christians, because they
held the faith once delivered to
the saints and would not stand
for lawlessness and mob rule.
The story of the "Reds'" in Fin
land and the Baltic Provinces is
written in fire and blood.
And let no n imagine that
the danger is past. If, like Shy
lock of old, the conquerers of
Germany insist on their pound
of flesh, there can be but one
outcome: the wave of Bolshe-
vism will sweep Over Germany
and convert it into a second Rus
STA. Men driven to despair by
hunger and %priyation will turn
into fiends. If the REDS" get
control Of Germany, the Huns of
old will have been angels of
mercy in comparison with what
will then be enacted. Men driy-
en- to despair loose all reason.
And it is a question whether
even the moat of 5000 miles Of
ocean will be able to stay the
westward sweep of destruction
which threatens to bury every
vestige of Christian civilization.
UNLESS reason and wiser coun-
Gil prevail the day may yet come
when those who stand for law
and order, who defend the fam
lily, the church and the state as
divine institutions, will be hunt
ed down like defenseless game.
We may again hear the cry !:
You have no right to live"
viii Lutheranism stand the
test? Will men and women who
lbear the name of the hero of
worms prove worthy Of their
great ancestor? Let us hope so.
We have every reason to believe
that they will, as the history of
the martyrs of Finland and the
Baltic Provinces plainly proves.
In the providence Of God even
such awful experiences must
serve a good purpose. In olden
times the blood of the martyrs
was the seed of the church why
should it be less in these days9
In the fiery furnace gold is not
destroyed but purified. No doubt
God wants to use the Lutheran
Church for the accomplishment
of great things in the winding
up of the worlds history; but
the steel must first be tempered
before it can be used to good
advantage.
But physical persecution is
not the only test which Luther
ans are subject to in these evil
days. During the times Of COM
