Montgomery County in Prosperous Condition

Although the tobacco situation is most deplorable
there is thought that all must get in head
and that is 'that ARE NOT the road to the poor
house If the present tobacco crop is sold
still in better position than only several years
back We have the richest soil in the world, compe-
tent to conduct any business transactions that might arise
and with the four local banks showing combined deposit
of over two and half million dollars against million
which boosted only few years in the past there is
sound for down-heartedness We living in
time of REIMBURSEMENT at time when every commodity
is selling at lower figure than it did during the days Of
and Immediately preceding the war.
The people Of this section should indeed be thankful
that live in what is truly Goods Country''a land,
the richest known, and among people the most enlight
ened of all time. f4
Let's take optimistic view, matters have been
much and have pulled through, have to be-
accustomed to changing conditions and will have to
take although it hurts and hurts bad but
member beneath every cloud there is silver lining
and it will only be short time until enjoying the
same unbounded prosperity to which have become
customed Let's all be optimistic and talk only of the
better day just ahead such talk only bring prosper
ty and happiness to all.

Tobacco Exchange
System Urged

A tobacco exchange system, mod
eled largely upon the lines OF inc
grain exchange system and its prac-
tice of trading in futures, would go
far to remedy the unsatisfactory
conditions in the Burley field, ac-
cording to John F. Mauff, secretary
of the Chicago Board Of Trade.
"The highly organized grain mar
keting system provides an instan-
taneous market the year around"
said Mr.. Mauff. "The buyers and
sellers are always in touch and the
result is sterilization of prices, a
narrowing Of fluctuations and the
other benefits which accrue in an
open market where untrammeled
competition assures prices based alb
solutely upon the law of supply and
demand
Before the grain system was de-
veloped grain growers were con-
fronted with much the same condi-
tons as those in Kentucky today.
In time think the trouble of the
tobacco growers will compel mar
keting organization comparable to
grain exchanges. The wool industry
is headed that way and there is a
considerable sentiment for arranging
for trading in wool futures on open
exchanges"

II we could only bring all Amer

American resolution.
I am less impressed by our help

armament there are the shining
stars Of these beautiful hills, than
am impressed by liberty's bestowal
on those who came to join us in the
American achievement.
I had an exceptional and unex-
pected and a most delightful well
come on yesterday afternoon. Be-
fore we had fairly viewed our sur
roundings there came romping and
rollicking several hundred school
children from Philadelphia, who had
come out to Valley Forge to get
youths impress at this patriotic
shrine. They voiced a most delight
full welcome. They bestowed the
reverence of innocence and unself-
ishness to one called to authority.
Studies Chtldren's Faces.
Enthralled as I was by their
chorus of cheer and cordiality. L
found myself riveted to a study OF
their faces. Perhaps they were all
American born, but their parents
came from other lands as well as
our own. Among their parents there
may have been distinction in en-
ployment. in pursuits, or in social
status, but you could not distinguish
it in these hopeful, rollicking chill
dren. They were the budding youths
of honest, righteous, justice loving
democracy, destined to come to ra-
diant bloom in the equality Of Amer
lean opportunity.
This is the heritage from Valley
Forge-equality of opportunity, sus-
tanned in justice, with maintained
authority under law and order This
is what made America; it will lead
us to future triumphs.

ready up in the world, but the sun OF
our national life has not yet fairly

throughout the world to reach a

In Commanding Position.
But when / pledged our America

can say without boasting that ours
