UNIFORM INTEREST RATE

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3D. Big
bankers, meeting today in Chicago,
are face to face with an opportunity
to help the country free itself OF the
high cost of living problem, govern
ment officials said here today.
BY establishing an interest rate on
deposits which shall be uniform
throughout the country and remain
unchanged save in grave emergency,
the bankers can act effectively to
stop wild cat speculation and extray-
agance, officials said. This, 1t Is
pointed out, will divert money to
legitimate and normal industrial
enterprise and stimulate production,
bringing lower prices for all commo-
sslitief The result should be felt
within thirty days, officials declared.
Spectators today are beginning to
experience the effects OF blow dealt
them by the government yesterday
through the federal reserve board
When federal reserve banks opened
this morning in New York, Boston
and Philadelphia, the nations money
centers, very high rediscount rates
were quoted to other banks seeking
loans. The rediscount rates were
marked up in an order issued by the
federal reserve board here late yes
terday. They represent a general ad-
vance of nearly fifty percent over
the rates in effect six months ago.
These new high rates are intended
TO discourage extensive borrowings
from federal reserve banks. board
officials said II they fail to produce
this effect, soon the rates will be
marked up again, 1t was promised,
The high rates virtually mark the
end OF artificial stimulation OF the
financial markets by the government
as a part of its war policy, according
to officials. This stimulation was
blamed for high prices.

The old practice of "siding off"

can be accounted for in several ways.
First, it is not a very good working.

Putting the Rastus around a piece of

tobacco is much better working
than "siding out" and the field left

good practice to use is to run a

then harrow down the row. On

LATHAM NEGRO MUST

Among the supreme court decis
ions handed down last Saturday we
note the following from Weakley
county. Andrews is the Latham
negro who shot Jack johnson, an
~iother Latham negro, to death near
Latham in May of last year:
Will Andrews VS.. State, Weakley
criminal docket; conviction for MUIR
der in the SECOND degree with SEN
tence to the penitentiary for 10 to
20 years affirmed. Will Andrews,
colored, was convicted for killing
Jack johnson in May 1919, with
whom he had ,quarreled about girl.
His chief contention on the appeal
was that if he had been given a
continuance, which he asked for,
he would have been able to show
that he killed johnson in self-de-
tense. The court overruled this
contention because the physical
facts showed so conclusively that
Andrews had sought a meeting with
johnson, and AFTER the diff culty
began followed Johnson a distance
of 100 yards, continuing to shoot
at him after Johnson had fallen to
the ground, the testimony of the abb
sent witness could not have. over
come the proof of his guilt.

CHOICE TOBACCO IS
THIS YEARS CROP
w. r. BOBBITT

Hopkinsville, KY, June 19.-Not-
withstanding the lateness of the sea-
son, more than half a million pounds
of tobacco were sold on the loose
floors during the past week. The to-
tai was 568,84O pounds, and the
average for the week was $13.26,
nearly a dollar higher than the pre-
ceding week. Leaf sold as high as
$41.50. Offerings on the loose
floors this season, amount to 3d.
088, $50, which is twice as much as
sold all of last season, breaking all
records for the Hopkinsville market.
The average price for the season is
$17.04. The prices for the past
week ranged as follows: Trash,
81 to Sc; common Tugs, Sc to ST;
medium Tugs, 81 to So; good Tugs, SO
to $11; fine Tugs, 81 to $14; low
leaf, $40 to SIG; common leaf, SIC
to 500; medium leaf, $40 to $50;
fine leaf, $36 to $41.5O.
Good reports are being received
from the farmers as to the growing
crop. The indications are that,
while it will be a fourth smaller
than the average, the quality will
be greatly improved. Good tobacco
in first-class condition has COM
manded satisfactory prices all the
season, and for this reason the
growers are paying special attention
to cultivation. The main effort last
year was to grow a big crop,
