BOYS PROVED THEIR HONESTY
Small New York News Vendors "Made
Good" Without Having Given
Promissory Notes.

One of the great New York news
papers pays an astonishing tribute to
the young merchants who sell ITS wares
upon the streets. This newspaper,
like practically every other, printed
an extra" after the big Jersey City
prize fight When the papers arrived
at Times square the young man whose
business il was to sell them TO the
newsboys. taking their cash in return,
found himself overwhelmed by an
eager flock of youngsters who grabbed
the papers as fast as he could open
the bundles and raced away to dis
pose of themS. without going Through
the usual formality of paying for their
stock. 7'+f 7a
Many boy could have kept all the
money he received 3slpFofit and neg
lected to pay for his hbpers, but, so
the paper. declares, ds soon as the
storm of selling was oNer the boys re-
turned to the neighborhood and set
tied. until the cash turned in was ex-
actly what it should have been for
the number Of papers sent out from
the Office of publication.
That was only ordinary honesty, 1t
is true, but kind of honesty met
with seldom enough "a lbe uncommon.
Yet it would be exhibited by those
who are familiar withHewsboys. TAe
newsboy doesn't expedt ito be cheated,
and he certainly doe{n't intend t.

Settling compIicat.d Question.

One of the queerest requests that
has reached state officials for several
months Is a petition signed by eight
beekeepers at Kale, Mo, asking that
owners of sorghum mill nearby be re-
qCested to screen the mill SO as TO
prevent great loss TO the petitioners
because of the death of their bees af-
ter visiting the mill. After long and
tortuOus journey through federal and
state boards, the petition finally
reached the board of agriculture, and
Jewell Mayes replied that after a care
full search of the statutes he believes
the beekeepers have no recourse at
law, but are liable themselves under

THE CRISIS IN SOUTHERN MARY
LAND TOBACCO

From every county in Southern
Maryland. comprising the tobacco
growing belt Of the State. come
reports that the farmers OF this
section are facing a crisis in which
the future OF their staple crop IS
directly concerned. 1t involves a
question OF no less importance
than the abandonment OF tobacco
growing and the substitution for
it OF some other industry. such a
dairy farming. In fact. the project
OF an inter-county creamery IN
Southern Maryland has already
gotten well under way and II the
production OF milk and butter and
the operations OF the creamery
provide at least a living for the
farmers. it will be more than the
tobacco market has afforded
them for the past year, and more
than the present prospects fndir
cate.
The situation IN Calvert
COUNTY. as reported by the CalYe,
journal, is surnhncd up as foll9~s /:
r'The tobacco crop failure fol-
lowing two years Of poor market
conditions, with an absence Of any
substitute crops, makes the farm
ing outlook rather gloomy. To-
bacco is the only dependable
money crop we have, and when il
fails, either in quantity or prise,
it is keenly felt in all Businesss
From Charles county cotues't iie
following report, as expressed BY
the Times Crescent: with
labor conditions such as to make
it almost impossible to employ
farm labor at any price; with
tax rate higher than ever before
in the history of all of the to-
bacco growing counties of South
ern Maryland, and with an early
drought which makes it practical
~ impossible TO even plant halt
OF the usual tobacco crop, the out
look for the tobacco grower was
never darker"
And so it is, substantially, III
Anne Arundel county. The ma
ior portion of the 1919 crop of to-
bacco is yet in the State ware
houses, and there is practically
no competition on the price of it
because the output of Southern
: Maryland has long been monop-
solized by the French Govern
ment. and those in authority are
holding the price down to so low
a level that many of the farmers
will be forced to cease growing
tobacco unless some early relief
is promised lip the tobacco mar
ket. In fact, as the Times Cres-
cent" predicts, many growers
here will 60 out of business at the
close of the present year. unless
some hope is yet held out to them
through an advance in the price
of the crop. which is now being
offered on the Baltimore market.
or will shortly be shipped from
the crop of 1920"
Tobacco growing in Southern
Maryland is just as much OF an
institution as cotton growing is
III the South or corn growing in
the Middle West. and yet a pc
culiar situation exists here in that
we have had but one market for
our tobacco, and our growers
have become accustomed to re-
ceive without question whatever
price the French buyers were dis
posed to put upon them. because
of the fact that they have had a
monopoly on this grade. 1t may
be, of course, that for Southern
Maryland tobacco there can be
found a substitute acceptable to
the French Government, and that
if our farmers stop growing to-
bacco and cut off the supply, the
buyers can set along just as well
