MANY COUNTIES
Show Large Areage Pledged To Dark
Tobacco Pool.

Hopkinsville, KY, Sept. six
counties, Logan, Todd, Trigg, Brock
inridge, and Hancock, in Kentucky
and Montgomery in Tennessee, have
already secured their two-thirds sign
up to the dark Toba cd Growers Co
Operative Association and are still
working to increase this. Breckin-
ridge county says they will put it to
100 per cent.
Several other counties are pushing
their total upward steadily and are
approaching the twO-thirds mark.
Among these are some of the largest
tobacco producing counties in the
district where il is naturally a big
ger Job to secure the required acre
age than it is in the counties which
do not produce so much.
Among these larger counties are
Christian which has about 1000
acres pledged at last reports; naviess
with $3.50 acres; Graves with $3.50
acres; Todd with over 5000 acres;
Logan with about 5000; Montgomery
with over $4,000 acres; other coun-
ties which are making fine progress
are Robertson and other Tennessee
counties, Warren and the counties
through the One-sucker belt; Hen

ing district; McCracken and the
Western district counties; Caldwell
and the counties through that section.

DARK TOBACCO POOL
MAKES GOOD PROGRESS

Hopkinsville, KY, Sept.-With
another crop of tobacco about rea-
dy to be housed, the growers are be-
coming more interested in the man.
ner in which IL is to be sold and are
rapidly joining the Dark Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association.
Another thing is that October 1,
the date scheduled for closing the
membership campaign, is now close
at hand and the growers who have
been procrastinating about signing
are now lining up.
Efforts from now on will be CEN
tered on getting the individual grow
'er to sign. Speeches will continue to
be made throughout the district for
the benfit of those who may not yet
have become fully informed. but the
real work will be in the hands of

must go to the grower and talk the
matter over and get his signature.
This is the preferred plan, and the
most successful one.
The speeches which have been
made recently in the dark district
have greatly increased the enthusiasm
and resulted in thousands of acres
being pledged on the spot. At every
place visited splendid sentims MT
was shown and full endorsement OF
the plan was voted.
The campaign has just recently
been extended to several Of the
counties which had not become ac-
tive earlier and in every one of these,
the outlook is fine for a rapid sign
up. In fact most of these counties
are expecting to secure their mini
mum of two-thirds before some or
the other counties which have been
working much longer have secured
theirs.
The increased interest in the or
ganization is shown not only by the
farmers but by the bankers and the
business men as well. The Retail

has come out in a strong resolution
endorsing the organization. stating

ACCIDENTS AT r. r.. CROSSINGS

Last year 1902 persons were re-
ported killed and 1918 injured in ac-
cidents at railway crossings. in the
United States. Autos figured in SO
per cent of the accidents. Observers
stationed at 1851 crossings counted
397,622 autos crossing tracks In IL
months. Six per cent failed abso-
lutely to take any precautionary mea-
sures to insure safety. The railroads
everywhere have tried to fully warn
drivers Of vehicles crossing their
property but there will always be
many persons who will disregard ad-
vice and will pay dearly for their
experience. ~

Klassen. a Tehama county farmland,
who was bitten by skunk while
sleeping in his employers bunk

wakened by a tickling sensation fol-

skunks are not in the habit OF biting
human beings there was circumstan-

the wound.

If you are a married man. don't
apply for a teaching position at
Northwestern University, at Evans
ton, Ill.
Evanston, ILL.,, is social center"
or so the university authorities think.
The salaries paid instructors are so
slim that they can not maintain a
wife and a family upon them, because
of the social demands" upon the
time, strength, and pocketbook of
The professors. Wives of learned
instructors have had to take jobs in
stores. and as telephone girls, and
mattresses in restaurants (horrible
though) in order to live!
wherefore the university authori-
ties say mo more married instruc-
tors"
A baldheaded man complained Of
a fly on top Of his head. The town
fool killed the fly with an AK. That
he killed the baldhead, too, didn't ap-
pear to him to matter.
Did it not occur to the authorities
to interfere with the unnatural, not
the natural process? To eliminate
the false standards of society" and
keep the true standard of human
life? For ii is not good for man to
live alone; the unmarried instructor
is sure either to marry or to wish to
marry. If he does the first, he is
fired; If he merely wants to and
can't he worries as much as the pro-
fessor already in chains of debt and
small salary and Society observance"
Heaven save the mark!
The best teacher, other things be-
ing equal, is the happiest teacher.
The laborer is worthy of his hire.
Let Northwestern ban the society"
expense, let Northwestern reduce its
program and pay a living wage. but
let Northwestern take heed in time,
for Nature is stronger than UNIVERSE
ties, and the ingrained instincts of
the human race far more powerful
than the ukase of the board of di-
rectors. Either Northwestern will
change its ruling or Northwestern
will go down, down, down in educa-
tional ability-not to mention desira-
bility!
