GOOD PRICES
FOR TOBACCO
President Stone Says Association Is
Selling Tobacco Right Along
At Good Prices
FACTS AND FIGURES GIVEN

From statements made by Ralph
Barker, director of warehouses of
the Burley Tobacco Growers Co,
operative Association in an address
to the tobacco growers Of Adams
county, Ohio, at Manchester, o., it is
believed that the sales of the associ-
alton to date total close to sixty mill
lion pounds.
While nothing has yet been made
public as to prices, it is believed
that the amount realized by the
growers who stuck to the association
will be from % to so per cent. high
er than that paid the growers who
remained out of the association and
marketed their crop elsewhere. If
was said.
Mr.. Barker is said to have told
the members of the association
frankly the amounts sold to the yari-
Gus manufacturers and the prices for
which each grade sold, with the re-
suit that after the meeting the few
farmers in the crowd who were not
already members of the association
came up voluntarily and joined it.
President James c. Stone said that
the association is selling tobacco
right along" The president, how
ever, would not go into details.
Judging from the activity in the to-
bacco district, however, and the
prompt removal of the tobacco from
the floors of the houses at which it
is being delivered by the members of
the association, it is believed that
sales are almost keeping pace with
the deliveries. If that is true. the
estimate credited to Director Barker
can not be far wrong.

ACCIDENT NARROWLY AvERTED

presence of mind enabled Mrs.
Robert Bell, County Truant Officer
TO save herself from probably serious
injury Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Bell was motoring on the
Ford Mill pike, near Paris, when she
heard a swapping sound from some
part of the machinery close at hand
"A nasty examination showed the
steering rod of her machine had
broken. The machine was rapidly
approaching telephone pole on the
side OF the road. Mrs. Bell quickly
reversed the car and cut off the gas
ollne, avoiding an accident. She
was compelled to stay at a country
nome in the vicinity until another
steering rod could be sent out from
one OF the garages in Paris and
other repairs made, so she could re-
turn to Paris.

POOL VlOLATORS
FACE LAW SUITS
Burley Tobacco Growers Who Sold
Leaf Under Pooling Contracts To
Be Prosecuted
ONE USED WIFE'S NAME

Prosecution of growers who have
sold tobacco belonging to the Burley
Growers Cooperative Association
lowed or induced growers to sell
such tobacco will be begun in few
days, it was announced at the con-
clusion of a meeting of the Board of
directors.
The field service department., I'M
der the direction of Jos. Passonneau,
has been investigating alleged cases
OF violation of contract, and will
present the data to Aaron Sapiro,
general counsel for the association.
One of the first prosecutions, Mr..
Sapiro said, will be that of a prom
inent farmer in the central ware
house district, who sold a large crop
of tobacco in the name of his wife.
Other prosecutions are planned
in other districts, where evidence of
illegal sale is in the hands of the as
ISOLATION.
Under the provisions of the con-
tracts, the growers gives to the as
ISOLATION the right to get a decree of
specific performance to force deliv-
cry of all tobacco unsold, to get
.liquidated damages of 5 cents a
pound on all tobacco sold and to get
injunction against the buyer to pre-
vent further purchases.
The prosecutions of the ware
housemen will be carried on prob
ably as criminal cases under the
provisions of the Bingham co-opera-
tive marketing law laying a penalty
of $500 on the warehousemen for
buying or permitting a sale where he
had knowledge that the grower was
member of the association.
This provision is intended, accord
ing to members of the association, to
discourage the use of violence in
cases where angry neighbors might
resort to it, as occurred during the
old pool.
Mr.. Passonneau has had agents
of the association at many of the
open sales floors to warn the ware
housemen if a member of the assOci-
alton should try to violate a contract.
Most of the housing men, he said,
had refused to buy or even allow
pooled tobacco on their floors, but
but few had gone about seeking to
make sales for members of the asso-
citation.
The activities of James G.. Stone,
president, in making sales, and of
Ralph M. Parker, director of ware
houses, in receiving and redrying to-
bacco, were unanimously approved
by the board, by a rising vote of con-
fidence. Mr.. Stone made a full re-
port on finances, sales and receipts
of tobacco.
"As representatives of the grow
ers, we are proud of the things we
have DONE" one of the directors
said. eff it were not for the untir-
ing and skillful efforts of Mr.. Bar
ker and Mr.. Stone, however, 1 am
afraid the record would not be so
good. We are fortunate in having
obtained officers of such quality"
Mr.. Stone produced official figures
to show the average sales so far
would be several cents higher than
the average paid to growers outside.

WHY BRAND sTAMMERED

A beautiful example Of courtesy was
shown recently by Premier BRAND Of
France during ceremony at which he
conferred medal Of honor upon an
American soldier, the Delineator
states. Monsieur BRAND does not
speak English; the American soldier
spoke no French. The boy had, how
ever, learned a little French speech.
But when he rose before the distin-
guished audience, the French words
deserted him. He began, got through
the first sentence, suffered in the Sec
ond, hesitated, reached into his mind in
vain for the rest of the French words
and then finished his thanks in Eng
fish.
The expression on the face of the
French premier never changed. When
the boy had finished speaking, Monsig-
nor BRAND began few English words
he had learned. 81 have great affec-
ton for your country and generation
for" He hesitated---and finished in
French.
II was q delicate way to make the
soldier feel that the premier of France
was as poorly equipped in the soldiers
language "a the soldier had been in
French. And this Is manners. Back
Of that kind act was solely desire to
make fellow being more comfortable.

SHELL PLANTING STARTS

The Importance Of Tangier Sound
as an oyster growing section Of the
State Of Maryland, has again caused
the consideration OF the State Con-
servation Commission, In its selection
as the first bottoms to be planted with
shells in the year 1922. Fifty thousand
bushels of shells will be planted on
Turtle Egg" Rock on the westerly
side of Tangier Sound, opposite Deals
Island. This bottom is exceptionally
fine for both collecting spat and grow
ing oysters. The first vessel load Of
5000 bushels were planted on Wednes-
day, May 10, and work will continue
until this section Is completed.
The shells planted last year on Har-
ris Rock are in fine condition and per-
fectly clean. While these shells did
not get good catch Of spat last year
II Is likely they will get set this sum-
mer.
The Commission has selected sec
ton on Hog Island of the mouth of
Patuxent River for $4,000 bushels and
James Point and the Diamond Rock
of Dorchester and Talbot counties for
$4,000 bushels. The shells planted off
st. MaIy's County In the Bay, last year
have an excellent catch of young oy-
sters and many Of these will be mar
ketable size by this fall.

SEARCH OF TWO YEARS Is

II. W. Byers Says Tanlae Has Re.
Stored His Health After Ev-

"There may be other medicines as
good as Tanlac for troubles like ] had,
but l have never been able TO find
them and have been trying for two
years to find relief, is the unqualified
statement Of H. W. Byers, n well
known machinist, living at 40 North
payson street, Baltimore.
"Before ran across this medicine,
said he, "every joint In my body hurt

days l was almost wild with pain. |

just hobbled around In agony and it
was torture for me to use my arms.
became all rundown, my nerves got
all unstrung. and many night was
too miserable to sleep.
II was just about ready TO give up
the fight when l noticed what others
had to say about Tanlac and decided
TO see II the medicine would help me.
Well, TO make long story short, what
Il has done for me is nothing less than
remarkable. l have just finished my
second bottle and the rheumatism is so
much better that ! scarcely notice it
any more. Tanlac has also acted as
wonderful tonic for me, as now eat
better, sleep better and am a great
deal stronger. l expect to stick right
10 Tanlae until | have finished out u
course Of Ave or six bottles, and from
now on it's going to be my family
medicine. Il certainly is great"
Rheumatism is not only one of the
most prevalent, but one of the most
painful and difficult to treat Of all dis
eases. When the digestive organs are
not working right and kidneys become
clogged up, the whole system becomes
deranged and saturated with uric acid
poisons and other impurities, which
accumulate in the joints and other
parts Of the body, and produce the con-
dition known as rheumatism.
Tanlac Is a powerful reconstructive
tonic and overcomes this condition by
acting directly on the vital organs, ton
ing them up and enabling them to per-
form their proper functions. 80 that
the impurities are eliminated from the
system in n natural way. Liniments
and other external applications as a
general rule only afford temporary re-
lief. Tanlac is constitutional treat
ment and gets right at the root Of the
trouble by removing the cause.
Tanlac Is sold by all good druggists.
