 While the council of four will prob ably explain the provisions of the treaty and may grant some minor concessions, 1t appears there are to be no changes which will materially tighten the burden placed on the enemy by the treaty presented on May '.

CONCERTED ACTION DECIDED ON
BY MIAMI TOBACCO MEN

Concerted action and cooperation IN
selling tobacco was the basis upon
which was launched the Miami Valley
Tobacco Growers association at Day.
ton, yesterday.
BY tacit agreement leaf tobacco
growers Of the Miami valley will aim
to fortify themselves against financial
embarrassment by advancing loans to
each other; by holding out for what
they regard the best prices for their
product and for cooperation in OBJ
tanning and disseminating information
concerning the growing and marketing
of tobacco.
Almost hundred growers attended
the meeting, farmers from Montgom-
cry, Miami, Preble, Darke, Butler and
Warren counties.
They discussed conditions in their
respective localities, told how the
farmers have organized to secure what
they regard equitable prices, and urged
the linking of district and county in
terests into a Miami valley organiza-
ton.
In doing this they gave warm in
dorsement to plan followed in Preble
county and voted to adopt that plan.
Officers Named
G. l. Gilbert, rural route No. 2, Ger
mantown, was chosen president of the
Miami Valley association, and A. j.
Swift, of Preble county, secretary. An
executive committee will be named to
represent each county.
A committee was named to draft
Q constitution and bylaws, and an
other meeting of the general organ
ization will be called shortly, but in
the interim the county and district
subordinate bodies will be perfected.
By the adoption of the plan each
grower will be asked to sign an agree
ment by which he consents to refe-
to the locality committee all offers Of
purchase from tobacco buyers.
The locality committee, to vary in
size as each district determines, will
pass on the offer and recommend that
the farmer sell or reject the offer, as
| circumstances and conditions warrant
| This is the plan pursued in Preble
county concerning which extended
verbal reports were made at the meet
| ing yesterday Considerable enthu
siasm was manifested over recital of
the plans adopted and the service be-
ing carried out by the locality or dis
! trict committee, organized in the New
Hope community.
| 1t was explained that growers will
endeavor to bring financial relief to
other growers needing such assistance
and thus enable them to hold their to-
bacco until more advantageous prices
are offered.
| No price agreement or price uni
formity was proposed, the delegates
| evidencing a desire to get away from
| q uniform price for all communities.

To Keep Away Teeth
Stains and Tartar

Why is it so many persons, no mat
ter how regularly they use the tooth
brush, have unsightly stains and tar
tar on their teeth? The stains are dis
colored films which the usual denti-
frices are powerless to remove with any
amount of rubbing and scrubbing. And
these greasy films, besides being so OF
fensive to the eye, are a source of real
danger. Beneath them germs find a
fruitful breeding place-germs. which
are the principal cause of tooth decay,
soreness and softening of the gums, be-
sides producing digestive and intes-
final disturbances.
Those who realize the seriousness of
this condition will be glad to know
they can easily remove every stain or
discolora tion-and prevent the forma-
ton of more films Cor plaques" as
dentists call them), as well as tartar.
by using wonderful new product,
"Once-a- Week Tooth Polish" Nothing
else will so thoroughly clean the
teeth, Danish every ugly tint and give
that sparkling pearly whiteness so
much admired. Once-a-Week Tooth
Polish, which any druggist can supply,
is perfectly harmless to the teeth. 1t
is invaluable in the care of children's
teeth.-Adv.
