FRANKS BIG SALE

Again Franks store is conducting
one of the most stupendous sales that
the city has witnessed in several
years. The idea that this firm is
working out is to get prices back to
normal, and if all concerns in the
country worked in the same patriotic
spirit shown by Franks, normal
prices would soon be in evidence.
There are some splendid values offer
ed the public on a wide range of mer-
chandise. There is reduction of from
25 to go per cent on everything in
stock, regardless of the loss. Before

SHOOTING OF LIEUT., LANGDoN
Evidence that 1t was Deliberate MUIR
der by the Japanese Sentry

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE official
report of the shooting of Lieut.. w. H.
LAngdon of the United States navy, at
Fl&divostok by a Japanese sentry, is
m follows:
Japanese sentry stationed in front
of Japanees staff headquarters at half
past four o'clock in the morning saw
q man approaching who was using a
fiashlight, casting its rays upon the
front of the staff building. He stop
ped the man and demanded to know
If he was Russian or American. Not
understanding the reply made by
LAnkdon the sentry sought to pull
back the hood which was drawn over
his face to inspect him.
"The officer resisted and drew a
rsvolver, whereupon the sentry step
ped back and presented his bayonet.
The officer turned to proceed on his
way. The sentry called to him in
Japanese to stop and when the order
was disregarded he fired. Langdon
turned upon the sentry and fired twice
nc him with his revolver and then col

TOBACCO WAR ON IN KENTUCKY
(Associated Press)

Lexington, KY. Jan. 14.-Although
the movement of 1921 for the forcing
OF tobacco prices to a higher lever in
central Kentucky probably is more
general than ever before, according
to tobacco men, trouble over tobacco
is nothing new. Efforts to "cut out"
the crop because of low prices, have
taken place periodically for the last
thirteen years, resulting in 1908 in
what amounted to virtually a war
between growers who did not plant
and those who did.
In 1908 tobacco beds were burned,
farmers shipped and some instances
killed and general reign of terror
was inaugurated. State troops were
unable to cope with the situation and
the trouble died down only when Gov.
Augustus E. Wilson issued a procla-
nation saying that the killing of a
"pight rider" would be followed by an
immediate pardon for the slayer.
There were no sales of tobacco that
year in any of the principal markets
of the tobacco belt either in the Gig
arctic tobacco section of central Ken
lucky or the "Black Belt" or dark
barley region of western Kentucky.
Indications of drop in price were
forseen by tobacco men early in 1920
and last July a meeting of growers
was held in Lexington to vote on the
proposition to abandon the 1921 crop.
IL was stated that labor costs were
so high THAT in order to make the
crop it would be necessary to do
something to keep prices at level
with those of 1919. 1t was decided at
the July meeting, however, that a
"cut out" would not be necessary and
the Burley Tobacco Growers Asso-
c.stion was formed in an endeavor to
work out the problems of the growers
through cooperate methods. John W.
Newman of Versailles was elected
head of the organization.
| When the government estimate OF
the tobacco crop of Kentucky was
made public December 1, growers de.
clared that it was too high, as the Leaf
would not weigh more than two-thirds
of the usual amount. This caused post
ponement of the opening of the mar
kets throughout the hurley, or Gig
la-ette tobacco belt, while the growers
association and state and federal agri
cultural department officials took 9
census of the white hurley crop. Thi.
report was given out December 81
and showed a production of ovel
236, 800, 900 pounds of the cigarett,
leaf.
The Lexington market opened Jan
l3, and other markets on succeeding
days, the larger ones on January 4
When growers found that prices al
over the district were averaging fal
below what was claimed to be tn,
cost of production and marketing th'
"cut out" movement gained renewed
impetus with many new advocates
After the closing of the Lexington
market on January for a week ant
similar action on the part of al
other larger markets, growers favor
ing abandonment of the 1921 crol
cs lied a mass meeting at Lexington t,
decide what action should be taken.

TAXES ARE RAPIDLY GROW
INC IN LUBBOCK COUNTY

The valuation Of land in Lubbock
County was cut two dollars per acre
last year, which amounted TO approx
imstely $1,145, 800, but with the in
crease in live stock, business and inn
provements, there was only S59,229
difference in this year and last years
tax valuations The exact value of
taxes in Lubbock County last year
amounted TO s12,0S3, 1923, while this
year more than one million dollars
was deducted from the valuation OF
land rendered, and the exact val
uation amounted to $12,024, 594,
showing that the valuation Of the
county has increased in the neighbor-
hood Of one million dollars.
This speaks well for Lubbock
County, and shows that the city of
Lubbock is growing rapidly, as the
improvements and buildings are a
big item in this greatly increased tax
roll.
