FOR TOBACCO

That the average price for to-
Aacco in North Carolina was Is
per cent higher in 1921 than is
1920 is rnquestionably due in
part to the Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association for the
sale Of the 1922 crop.
ANY one who compares the low
averages Of the markets Of South
Carolina last July when the grow
crs OF that state were unorgan-
lied, and sold their tobacco for
an average Of less than $1,000 per
!. hundred. with the average price
finally obtained by the organiz-
ed growers Of North Carolina
which according to the recent
census report was 13 per cent
higher: than 1920 OR :f24.57 for
the entire state, will note tho
lbenefit Of organization by the
grower.

RIVOLI TODAY
.OITEEN OF SHEBA'' PROVES
GIGANTIC LOVE SPECTACLE

queen of Sheba," a William Fox
super-special directed by j. Gordon
Edwards, came to the Rivoli Theatre
yesterday. 1t created a profound I'M
: preston upon the first day audiences,
and bids fair to prove the most talked
of photodrama of the season.
The pageantry attending the arrival
of the Queen of Sheba at the court
of King Solomon, which has held its
place for centuries in song and story
as supremely magnificent, is visualized
in the picture drama in q manner
completely satisfying to all.
There is scene after scene of great
beauty and magnificence in Queen of
Sheba"-the marriage festival at the
court of King Armud. the arrival at
Solomon's court, the day of races and
games, including the chariot race be-
tween the Queen of Sheba and the
Princess Vashti; the arrival of David
son of Solomon, the little Prince of
Sheba: the battle between the forces
of Solomon and Adonnjah, and the pa
thetic final departure of the Queen of
Sheba for her own realm.
Betty Blythe is a voluptuously royal
and beautiful Queen of Sheba, and
enacts the evacting role impresslvely,
besides showing great daring and skill
in the chariot race; Fritz Lieber, the
noted Shakespearian actor, is an effeC-
tive Solomon; Nell Craig is the Prin-

WILD DEER HARNESSED
TO GET OUT OF SNOW

QUINCY, Cal, Dec. 22.-SiX Califor-
mia mountaineers, caught by an early
heavy snowfall in the high Sierras
captures twelve wild deer, harnessed
them together with ropes and belts,
hitched them to an improVised drag
and broke a trail back to CIVILIZATION.
The men were working early in No
vember building a summer camp at
Gold Lake, a point far up IN the
mountains. When q heavy snow storm
came up unexpectedly, they found
themselves with only a few provisions
and without snow shoes or skis. Help
could not reach them, they knew, be-
fore several days.
Steve Pezzola, the leader of the
crew, Immediately set about making
sets of skis for himself and his men,
using such lumber as was available.
In the meantime the snow continued
to fall until more than five feet cover
ed the roads and trails
On the second night of the storm, a
herd of deer, fleeting before the snow,
sought refuge in the camp. Grasping
the opportunity, Pezzola and his com
panions herded the animals in one of
the uncompleted rooms.
The next morning the deer were
harnessed to drag and the six casta-
ways. mounted on homemade skis
and hanging to the drag, started off
towards civilization. The deer were
successfully guided until they had
broken road through the deepest
parts of the snow covered forest and
had arrived almost at the edge of the
tableland where the road starts down
out of the mountains.
There the animals We're treated to
the last sugar in the mems supplies
and were turned loose to return to the
forests. A few hours later the men,
continuing on foot, met a team and
sleigh loaded with supplies, making
slow progress up the hills to the camp.
