McREE ADDRESSES
TOBACCO FARMERS

Springfield, Tenn, March IS
DR.. F. NJ. McRee, Commissioner of
Agriculture, was q visitor to Spring
field to-day at the invitation of Sen
ator v. A. Bradley, and spoke at the
tobacco farmers meeting which was
held in the courthouse. He stated
that he was not familiar with to-
bacco growers situation, and his
talk was along agricultural lines in
general. He called special attention
to the great wealth in the way of
fertilizer Robertson County had in
it's limestone bluffs, and the profit
ablcness of sheep raising.
The meeting Saturday was one of
series that have been held by to-
bacco farmers for the purposes of
organization.
Representatives were also present
from Logan, Sumner and Davidson
Counties and stated that their coun-
ties were ready for organization.
A probe by the Federal Depart
ment of Justice was suggested as the
most effective method of arriving at
the tobacco situation from stand
point of aid from the government.
1t is believed that such probe will
show that the several companies into
which the old American Tobacco
Company was split are doing cooper
alive buying. This is believed to be
such a cooperation as to be in viola
tion of the decree of the Federal SUI
preme Court dissolving the American
Tobacco Company as trust. 1t is
also believed that the tobacco that
goes to Italy is being bought through
this combine, and that the Universal
Tobacco Company, sixty million
dollar corporation recently organ
lied, is the channel through which
this cooperative buying is carried
on

Bible Story
SAMSON.


Samson Is = character We like.
He belongs to the "boyhood" of the
Hebrew race. His exploits are in
teresting and spectacular. The
whole account Of his life from his
unusual birth to his sad AMI
dramatic death impresses us in this
day more like the escapadcs of e
callous youth rather than the rec
ord Of > judge.
At q time when the Philixtines
were depressing Israel, a son was
born to two faithful Hebrews.
Manooh and his wife. According
to the custom of the times, q pledge
was taken by the parents, known
as the Nazarite vow, whereby no
wine Or strong drink was to he
taken by the parents and the child
was never to have his hair or beard
cut ~ long as he lived. His subse-
quent struggle with the Philistines
and the attempt to discover his
marvellous source Of strength all
center around his secret OF the
Nazarite vow and the unshofn head
|-as Q token Of that vow. The favor
OF the Lord rested upon him rs long
as he was true to his vow and when
he disclosed the real source of his
strength he became - IN ordinary
