G. O.P. BLAMED FOR
HIGH SUGAR PRICE
CSngress.n nan Kincheloe In Speech
At SpottsviIle, Tells Why
Sugar SCARED To SOC.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 21-In a
speech today before a large crowd
of Henderson county voters, Con-
gressman David II. Kincheloe ex-
planned how the dilly-dailying of
the republican congress was re-
sponsible for thirty cent sugar in
this country. Had the congress;
accepted President Wilson's re-
commentator promptly sugar
would have sold as cheapiy as it
did a year before, and almost
billion dollars would have been
saved American purchasers. In
part, Congressman Kincheloe eX-
planned the situation as follows:
THE Lever Food Control Act
which was passed by Democra-
tic Congress during the war under
which the sugar corporation oper-
ated, contained a provision ending
the existence of the corporation
when the arnistce was signed.
This sugar corporation bought
the Cuban sugar crop of 1913
which was sold to American peo-
pie at IL and IL cents a pound.
The President in a message to the
Republican Congress on the 9Th
day of August, 1919, called atten-
ton to the fact that the sugar
corporation had ceased to func-
tion and urged this Republican
Congress to pass an act immedi-
ately ending the powers of this
sugar corporation. Hearings were
conducted before committee of
the Senate having charge OF this
legislation and members of the
original sugar corporation ap-
peared before this committee and
testified that they had no further
powers under the original act by
reason of the cessation of the
war. Notwithstanding these rep
resentations by the President in
his message and the members OF
the sugar corporation the Senate
failed to pass the law extending
the life of this corporation until
December /, 1910. The Republi-
dan House did not pass it until
December 10. 1919, and the House
added amendments to the Senate
bill which threw it into confer
ence. The conference report was
not adopted until the 18th day of
December, 1910. and the bill did
not become law untibDecember
81. 1919.
"Many weeks before that all
the Cuban sugar crop had been
sold TO England and other coun-
tries and therefore the act was of
no service to the American peo-
pie. If this Republican Congress
had passed the act Immediately
after the President had called its
attention to the fact in his special
message, the sugar corporation
would have Immediately bought
the Cuban sugar crop at the same
price it paid for it in 1918, and
therefore, the American people
would have purchased sugar as
cheaply in 1920 as they did in
1919"

in the School-house, Plans will b..
made to carry out and put into eff

meeting.
The Farmers Association of Vienna
district met in the School-house last
Saturday night and elected officers
for the season. Will Landlord was
elected President; T. ]. Holder, Vice
President, and Harry Brohawn Sec
retary-Treasurer.
A program of the work to be TAX
en- up this year, including co-opera-
tive buying, Improvement of the
tomato crop, growing more legumes
and several other matters were dis
cussed.
The next meeting will be held Sat
urday evening, May l, at 500
o'clock and all farmers in that dis
trict are invited to attend.
Tomato plants can be saved in the
bed and protected against damage
from the flea beetle by the use of
standard home made Bordeaux Mix
ture, or commercial Bordo-Lead.
Experiments on several farms in the
county last year proved that this
treatment besides saving the plants
from the flea beetle also was some
protection against blight although
not taking the place of later spray
ings AS the crop from early plants
that are well grown and stocky Of
ten is nearly double that obtained
from late set plants no chances
should be taken by neglecting this
treatment.
The first spray should be applied as
soon as the plants break through the
ground and after that an application
should be put on once a week until
the plants go in the field.

Topkis Bros. Co., Purchase
Factory of ThOs. McGrath

Topkis Bros Co., of Wilmington,
Del, manufacturers of Mems Athlet-
ic Union Suits are located in Cam
bridge in the factory formerly owned
by Thos McGarth.
The growing BUSINESS Of this firm
demands increased production and
while they, operate and control ten
plants at this time they are not able
to make all the goods they can sell.
For more than twenty years they
have been operating in Delaware and
Maryland and have by fair dealings
and courteous treatment built up an
organization of loyal and faithful
employees, who are ready to speak in
favorable terms of the Company.
1t has been the object of the COM
pany to meet as far as reasonable,
the demands of employees, and at all
times to give them every possible
opportunity to have permanent and
profitable position.
1t is the intention, in fact plans
are now completed to take care OF
all help who may desire a position in
their factory The lot upon which
the factory is now located is beins
cleaned, and as soon as the machines
are occupied which are now in the
factory, the building will be extend
ed the full width of block, to Meadow
avenue 1t is planned to have every
convenience and comfort for the en-
ployes, including rest room and re-
creation room. The factory when
plans arc completed will be as de-
sirable to be employed in as any in
Cambridge, with cement pavement
and desirable surroundings.
1t is the hope of this Company in
a very short time to show to the ipeo-
pie of Cambridge they are here to
add to the community. and prove
valuable asset to the town. They
have come here believing that the
citizens of Cambridge will assist an
industry which has a profitable pro-
position and permanent employment
for all who desire positions, with
weekly earnings from ten to twenty
five dollars per week. In the fac
tories now operated by the Company
there are very few who make so
little as ten dollars per week when
they work full time.
The factory is under direct super
vision of the Company's representa-
tive and will be conducted accord
ing to regulations in all the other
factories. The Outside Superinten-
dent of factories will give this factory
his personal attention, taking care
of pay-rolls and any matters which
may demand attention.
All employees will be paid on Sat
urday at twelve o'clock.
Fair square dealings, and plenty
of work is assured to all who want
easy and good work to be employed
on. The very best machines OBJ
tainable are used, and all high speed.
