pears to have aroused more sentiment

pears to have aroused more sentiment
against the league in this country.
j. Boonan Rivera, a writer on in.
ternational affairs, in an article in the
newspaper Diario Ilustrado, views ac-
ceptance by Chile of the postpone
ment of the Bolivian petition as an
"abdication' at least of the sentiment
of our compleee sovereignty He asks
what reason there is for Chile to re-
main in a league that good national
sense repudiates through a certain
feeling of anxiety and uneasiness.
He alludes to the advice given by
A. j. Balfour at Geneva in favor OF
direct negotiations between Chile and
Bolivia to settle the extremely
thorny problem" as judgment which
would not have allowed Chile to con-
tinue in league in which it never
should have entered blindfolded." The
writer also says Argentina withdrew
because she would only take part in
league of nations in the full sense
that word implied"
Senator Gonzales Bulnes, chairman
of the foreign relations commission OF
the senate, has been the chief oppo-
nent of the league in the Chilean con-
gress. He warmly supported Argen-
tina's action in Withdrawing from the
league last December and at that time
urged Chile to quit also as an act OF
solidarity with her eastern neighbor.
Speaking in the senate recently Sen
ator Bulnes asserted that the league
was nothing less than imposition OF
the victor on the vanquished." He
called it concert of victorious ma
tions to make the vanquished COM
ply with the rigorous conditions of
defeat The speaker said Chile al

Fire Monday Morning.

About II o'clock Monday morning
the residence on east Main street
owned by Mr.. Lucius Montgomery
and occupied by Mr.. S. M. Wingate
and family caught fire from a de-
fective fue or chimney and was so
badly damaged that it was unfit for
occupancy after the flames had been
extinguished, the roof of the build
ing being almost totally destroyed.
Owing to the lack of day electrical
current the usual alarm could not be
given and as a consequence the fire
had gained considerable headway be-
fore there was much response to the
scene.

Checks aggregating nearly $780,

tobacco farmers, members of the Sum
Cured Tobacco Growers Association,

was pooled last fall because of the
low prices which, in some instances,
were less than the actual transpor-

So per 100 pounds were realized by
holding the crop for more favorable
conditions, ]. H. Quisenberry, of
Louisa county, president of the as
sociation, declared today.
The checks range from 81 300 to

small crops, and the growers are 10
Gated principally in Caroline, Louisa,
Hanover, Goochland and Fluvanna
counties, although the association al
so has members in King William,
King and Queen, Essex, Powhatan,
Cumberland and Chesterfield counties.
About IL per cent of last years
sun-cured Virginia crop was pooled
with the association, officers said to
day, and so successful was this sys-
tenn of cooperative marketing, made
necessary partly because of the fact
that fully 85 per cent. of the buying
was concentrated in the hands of one
buyer representing one Of the largest
companies in this city, that the pool
will be operated again this year. Ap-
proximately IS per cent. of the 1921
crop already has been signed under
contract, and this is expected to be
materially increased.
The executive committee which
worked out the plan was composed
of President Quisenberry, W. S. Gar
rett, of Goochland, secretary and
treasurer; W. W. Green, of Caroline,
and ]. C. Stiles, of Ashland, Hanov-

the score of years, in which this
board labored, proved valuable fac
tor in eliminating many men who
seemed unsatisfable. Among the sur.
veyors who made plats of the town
were James Burgess, Robert Wither-
spoon, Robert L. Witherspoon, Isaac
Montgomery, Henry Mouzon and Rob

as Rogers did not like the plat that
one of the surveyors had made and
which had been accepted by the board,
so he threw the plat in the fire and
burned it. Commissioner Rogers
was fined $4,000 for his exhibition OF
fury or sentenced to make another
map.
Many changes in the personnel OF
this Board of Commissioners were
made while it was seeking to satisfy
the claimants. John McCauley and
