Christmas Packages.

A woman whose Christmas pack
ages never fail to reach their destina-
ton in safety says she always writes
the name and address of the recipient
upon the inside wrapper Of the box
containing them. Packages sometimes
lose their outside wrappings, but If
the postal clerks can find the address
on the inside wrapping all will be
well. This woman also ties up the in
side wrapping securely before putting
on the outside cover.

marketing organization only. The
crop is to be pledged for a period
of I've years, and unless seventy-fve
per cent of the crop of 1920 is
signed up by November Is, 1922,
the contracts, by their own terms,
are void. If the seventy-fve per cent
minimum, set as the amount it is
necessary to have pledged to con-
troll the market, is reached by No
vember Is next, the 1921 crop will
be handled by the cooperative mar
keting association. If it is not
reached by November is, the 1921
crop will be sold in the old way
over the loose leaf warehouse Doors.
In order to provide for the pur-
chase of the real estate that will be
needed to handle the pool crop, the
ssociation contract provides for
the organization Of a subsidiary
corporation, which viii have power
to rent lease or purchase real estate
and hold it in the name of the organ

member pays an entrance fee of five
dollars, which is to be used to de-

ken and this is used as the fund to
the operation Of redryers, store

by the agreement.
The contract provides that the
permanent organization is to be con-
trolled by the growers themselves,
no person not a tobacco grower be-
ing eligible for membership. The af-,
fairs of the association are placed
in the hands Of board Of directors
elected by the growers, one from
each Of the twenty-five specified
districts, and three chosen at large
by the other twenty-five, these three
being the only persons connected
with the organization who may not
be growers. Each. grower, whether
he grows an acre or a thousand ac-

Millions VIII Go To
Growers If Pool Wins

Beginning a second intensive drive
for the pledging Of seventy-fve per
cent Of the Burlef tobacco crop Of
Kentucky. Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia. the Burley Tobacco Grow
ers' Cooperative Association on
Monday resumed the campaign for
cooperative marketing of tobacco,
instead of the former system OF SELF
ing over loose leaf warehouse floors.
Basing their calculations on the re-
suits Of similar movements in the
Pacific coast and adjoining states,
promoters of the movement esti-
mate that the adoption of cooper
alive marketing viii add from 100
to 200 per cent to the market price
Of the product.
The loose leaf warehouse system
is an outgrowth Of the low prices
paid for Tobacco previous to 1905
and 1905 in hogsheads- Not only
did the grower have to pay for the
hogsheads, but in addition he had
TO pay warehouses and insurance
charges. which ate heavily into the
comparatively small retur nreceived
for his product. The loose leaf sys-
tenn was devised as not only a
means Of saving the grower money,
but a means by which the buyer
might see practically the entire crop
of tobacco, instead Of the samples
from the hogsheads by which he had
to judge the quality Of the entire
hogshead, and thus know exactly
wbate he was buying.
Prices for the 1905 crop were so
low and the return so small to the
growers that movement to pool the
tobacco crop off the market until
the manufacturers were willing to
pay more remunerative prices was
started among the growers. Crops of
1906 and 1907. to the amount of
about fifty per cent, estimated by
some authorities as low as forty per
cent. were pooled in the hands of the
Burlev Tobacco Society, of which
Clarence Lebus. a wealthy farmer
and tobacco grower, was president.
The manufacturers still refusing to
buy the pooled crops, as they were

Recently A Larson Of this city cut
into frewood a giant white oak that
stood near o'Nen Creek on the prop

this tree was a landmark to people
Of Neillsviile and vicinity. Mr.. Lar

found that the oak was 1877 years
old.
In bygone years in the upper part
OF the tree a platform had been bunt
for the use Of hunters in watching
deer lick" The spikes that held
this platform were overgrown by
forty-six rings, showing that II must
have been about half century since
they were driven into the tree.
Fourteen and a half cords OF wood
were cut from the tree. and with the

LEONARD;S 5000, 900 RIGHT
BY DEAN SNYDER

Benny Leonard has knocked out
more than 100000 in four years
with his right hand. Benny is a
two-handed champion. but his right
is the main socker.
The 100000 purse he received for
kayoing Richie Mitchell at Ann Nor
gan's benefit show was the biggest
he'd ever gathered.

In 1919 he made his biggest kill

600 in the cash register.
Last year his drawing powers IN
13 fights totaled s13O.O0O. He was
lighting less often but getting big
ger cuts.
Leonard doesn't pull on a glove
any more for less than $4,000 OF

This year he's got a good lead IN
breaking his past purse records.
Leonard has paid out about q
third OF his earnings for taxes and q

Right now he tops the light

Before he reaches the down grade
he'll probably earn 100000.

BOMB MYSTERY
: Delivery to Royalist News
paper Termed a Trap For
MonarchistS
TWO WOMEN
LEFT PACKAGE

LISBON. March 1.-Two women
who left handbag containing six
dynamite bombs in the office OF the
royalist newspaper Monarchia just
before that office was raided by the
police, have been arrested. Their
apprehension tends TO clear up a
mystery connected with the case.
It Is learned that the police raid
was made because they had discov-
cred the delivery OF the bombs. but
the editor OF the newspaper asserts
that the women who brought the
bombs to the office in his absence
were absolutely unknown TO him. He
declared that the whole affair was
trap to compromise the faction OF
royalists represented by the Mon
archia. and denied that the party
was preparing for any armed con-
spiracy at this moment. as such an
act he said. would only delay the
suicide Of the. present regime"
The police have discovered that
one Of the women who carried the
bombs to the Office OF the Monarchia
did so at the request OF her hus-
band, a man who was in prison for
Implication in some past royalist up
risines and who died last week
while still a prisoner. Just before
his death, his wife said, he told her
to take a handbag which had been
for a long time in their house TO the
newspaper office and give 1t TO one OF
the editors, Lieutenant Luiz Chaves
She declares she obeyed her hus-
, bands request without any knoWl-
edge Of the bags contents
The police followed her 10 the
