WHEN THE CENTURY BEGAN
Mode of Reckoning Is Simple, Yet the
Matter Is Frequently Subject
OF Dispute.

The Twentieth century began on the
drst day of January, 1901. In COM
mon usage the First century means
the years A. D. l to 100; the Second
century the years 1e1 to 300; and the
Nineteenth century the years A. d.
1901 TO 1900 The Fifth century be-
fore Christ was 500 to 4O1 B. Q. A
century begins with the beginning OF
the first day in its first year, and does
not end until the close of the last day
in it's hundredth year. The mode of
reckoning is often confused with the
common mode of stating the age of q
person. A person born at the begin
ming of the Christian era would be
called one year old during his second
year, that is during the course of the
year two; he would be called two
during the. year three; and forty dur
ing the year fortyone. etc.

Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart;
And speak in different tongues, and

Each Of the Others being, and no heed:
And these Ger unknown seas to un-

Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying
death,
And all unconsciously shape ever act
And bend each wandering step to this
one end
That, one day, out Of darkness, they
shall meet
And read lfe's meaning in each others
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way
of life
So nearly side by side, that should one

Ever SO little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged
face to face
And yet, with wistfM eyes that never

With cropping hands that never clasp,

Calling in vain to ears that never hear.
They seek each other all their weary
days
And die unsatisfed-and this is Fate!

I'hey state that il, for instance, the
packers and the grain exchanges (al-
though Numerically opposite in meth
ods), should be put out of business that
the farmers could conduct their own
affairs, but here in tobacco is an in
stance where's farmer is against farmer
and cooperation does not seem TO work.
The reason is plain. It is because
there is no open and constant market
for tobacco. In grain, on the other
hand, where buying and selling are
daily actively conducted, the price of
grain is anticipated for several months
to come.
The whole world must eat, but COM
paratively few must use tobacco. Hence
a marketing system cannot cure all the
evils because the system cannot bring
buyers OF sellers and cannot furnish
any more than the normal supply nor
can it change the extent of the demand.

ny IGHT RIDERS have been visit
~ ing the, farmers in Kentucky,
warning them not to haul any
more tobacco to market until prices are
higher and the warning was accompa-
MED by threats of violence if those
called upon failed to obey.
The source of this trouble can I'M
doubtedly be traced to the tobacco
marketing system, the buyers being
comparatively few with no open com
petition. The farmers are prevented
from selling their crop until these few
buyers get good and ready to buy and
then at their own price.
Another peculiar feature of night
riding is that certain farmers are pitted
against certain other farmers. Many
leaders in rural thought advocate CO.
operation as panacea for all evils.
