bacco the only nope Tor "A bet
ter price is To either cut out a
years crop altogether. or
greatly reduce the acreage
and thereby raise and have for
sale less tobacco and handle il
better. thereby producing a
better quality. In other
words. the slogan of the tobac-
co grower should be Less to-
bacco and a better quality"
From our view point and con-
sidering the interests of our To-
cal community We favor not "A
cut out of the crop. but an or
ganization among the growers
and "A uniform reduction by
every body in the ACREAGE.
There are many people who
are dependent altogether ON
the growing of tobacco for a
livelihood upon whom IL would
work such "a hardship To cut
out the crop altogether that il
would be better To suffer the
production Of a small crop and
a better crop. We think that
manufacturers could and
would pay "a living price for "A
small. well handled crop of to-
bacco i'm 1921. such "A crop as
the consumer requires. How
ever. this plan must be worked
out by a complete. unselfsh.
willing cooperation among
the growers. II is unconsci-
ousable. unjust and unbear-
able for "A part of the growers
TO reduce the crop and make
the sacrifice and fight for n liv-
ing price and the selfish far
mer TO increase his crop or
grow his usual crop thus TAX
ing advantage of his neighbor
in the common cause. This
applies not only TO the grow
ers in each county. but like
wise to the relation of one
county TO another and of one
district TO another, and TO the
whole tobacco growing Sec
ton. Ii there is TO be a cut
out let il be universal and not
a plant be set in the field. III
there is TO be a reduction in
the crop. which we favor. let
the reduction be universal and
no grower violate the moral
obligation To stand by his
neighbor and no county violate
its obligation in going back on
its neighbor county in what
ever plan may be finally
upon in dealing with
the 1921 crop.

II one buys a pound Of bacon, for
instance, that cost the store 90
cents a pound, the price Will be
% cents. But Il more than a
pound Ia bought the profit on the
sale will not be any more than 9
cent. That Is, two pounds Will
cost 81 cents, three will cost So
cents, four 81. 10 and SO on. Mr..
Martin cited the price of bacon
for the reason that recently he
had bought some at the Grafton
store of the Ro-oph Service Cor
poration at the price quoted; when
the price was IS cents In other
stores. This meant a saving OF 10
cents per pound. Prunes that sold
for IS cents in other stores,

prisoner could not understand.
The question arose as to
whittier or not it would be right
to punish a prisoner, such as Bur
lson who had no mean OF de-
Tending himself against the
/ charges, inasmuch as he could not
oxen be told what charges were
| placed against him. City AttoT-
ney Kern was OF the opinion that
THE prisoner should he punished,
stating that he had been released
without fine on one other traffic
violation and that the prisoner'G
inability to understand the
! harges should mot make him i'm.
mune from punishment for. vic,
lating the law.
After some elaboration Mayor
Conway decided to 80 with wit.
nessss to the scaus Of the acct
dent and determine whether or
not tho prisoner was guilty OF
J reckless driving as accused, and
announced that he would make
his decision IN the case later.
