Collections n casa totalng $25, 1Q9,. 424.G4 have been made for general causes fostered by tho Baptist D Mil lien Campaign since the campaign vas launched in 1919, according to a report to the Southern Baptist Con- sntion, which has just adjourned it's Chattanooga session, by Dr. !. R. Scarborough, general director of the campaign, and chairman of the Con- seryation Commission, The fact that $12,9S4 ,943.G0 of this amount was col lectod during the past year, under the most depressing conditions known in years, is very encouraging to the de, nominational leaders, they say.
 Will Seek the Unaavod.
 Feeling the need of conserving the spiritual interests of the people as well as the financial aspects of the campaign, the convention asked the Conservation CoUmiSsion to seek to enlist, through the state and associa- tional organizations, all the 27,O00 To- cal Baptist churches in the South in a larger eyangelistic effort during the next twelve months, the aim being to induce as many individual members of the churches as possible to win at least enc soul to Christ during the new year Reports to tho convention showed that there were 173,595 persons received into the local Baptist churches by bap- tism during the past year, and much larger number will be sought during the year ahead.
 Would EVangeiize Europe.
 One of the interesting actions of the convention was the decision to back up fully the Foreign Mission Beard in it's program for the evangelization of the new European territory of Span, Jugc-Slavia, Hungary, Roumania, the Ukraine and Southern Russia. Dr. J. II. Rushbrooho, of London, Baptist Commissioner for Europe, addressed the convention, t Hing how he had dis

Badger LEAF" Growers FIeeced.

Many cigars labeled 'pure Havana"
contain a sprig Of Havana and much
Wisconsin tobacco. Wisconsin tobacco
is sent from the state labeled binders"
and comes back into the state labeled
wrappers" Tobacco growers are be-
ing beaten out of thousands of dollars
each year because of an improper grad
ing of Wisconsin's products, the joint
finance committee of the legislature
was told by G. M. Pulley, representing
the tobacco growers of the state. wis
consin tobacco is the only leaf grewn
in this country having a neutral fla
vor," Pulley told the committee men,
bers. st is therefore mixed with Ha-
vana and Porto Rico tobacco and sold
as foreign product. Our short tobacco
is resweated until it becomes dark and
heavy and then passes onto the market
as a foreign tobacco. The tobacco
grower sells Wisconsin tobacco, but the
middleman sells Wisconsin tobacco as
foreign tobacco and gets the higher
price" The tobacco growers want a
tobacco division added to the division
of markets. They have asked the legis-
lature for an expert to assist them in
marketing their product. Buyers tell
the Wisconsin growers they cannot
raise wrapper tobacco here" Pulley
said. "They say that Connecticut is
the only state in the Union that can
produce this variety. Yet Wisconsin
wrappers are sold on the general mar
ket. In the East there are quotations
on Wisconsin wrappers, yet none are
sold by growers in this state. All our
tobacco is sold as binders at So cents
per pound. Wrappers bring $3.50 per
pound"
