The Prize Essay.

The Kentucky Tobacco Campaign
Committee offered a series of prizes
to the various high schools throughout
the Burley district for the best essays
on tobacco cooperative marketing.
The essay which landed the $40 in
gold follows:
"The first reason my father should
join the association is that it is a
farm organization, organized by the
farmers, operated by the farmers and
used for the farmers benefit.
"Ihe second reason is that labor is
organized, business is organized and
everyone else but the farmers or
ganized. sWhy should the farmers not
organize?
"The third reason is that matters
could not be any worse. The farmer
is selling his tobacco at starvation
prices and buying other things at
war time prices. This can not last
forever, for the banker can not lend
money without the prospect Of pay
ment. It has come to the point where
the farmers will either have to stick
together or starve separately.
""The fourth reason is that the
farmer blamed everyone last year be-
cause he didn't get fair. price for
lis tobacco. All the good it did was
to relieve him of his sentiments.
"with rs per cent of the tobacco
growers organized, the buyers will
never dare antagonize the organiza-
ton, and the farmers opinions will
amount to something besides hot air.
"For years the farmer mas been
compelled to take, what was offered
him. This plan places him in a po-
sition to force the buyers to pay what
he wants. Father, think what this
means to you and your family. 1t
means fair recompense for your la
Dor, better clothes and more freedom
for your wife and an education for
your children.
"The grape growers Of, California
ard the wheat growers OF. the west
ern states have put. through organiza-
tions of this kind and made a sue
cess of it.. Why shouldn't the tobac-
co growers of the southern states
make a success of it also?
"It is a democratic body, in which
everyone has the same power-tenant
and landlord alike. So my father
should join other fathers in making
this a success. Remember: The Lord
helps them that help themselves"

SERGEANT GETS WAR CROSS.
Medals Don't Pay Rent Remarks
Buffalo Recipient.

Frank A. Gaffney, Buffalo, N. Y,
former sergeant in the Twenty-seven-
tn Division, A. E. F., recently had
the Cross of Military Valor, an ltal-
ian decoration, added to numerous
medals and citations conferred by
other allied countries. Gaffney won
fame on the Hindenburg line, where
he took a German machine gun po-
sition unaided and made it possible
to capture eighty prisoners. The
British citation gives him credit for
all of the eighty prisoners.
Those fellows who write citations
sure know how to spread it on," said
Gaffney. "There was nothing to it.
l went into the army with the idea
not to give my life for my country.
When I was on the firing line and
/ saw a German I killed him before
he had a chance to get me.
"These medals mean nothing to me.
They don't pay my rent and buy food
fer my baby. I've got job now and
dent ask anything from any one. l
can't see why they want to bother
me to go over to Fort Porter just
ts get a medal. Anyway, / didn't
do half The things they said / did;
] did only my duty"
Gaffney lost an arm in the fighting
on September 90, 1918, at the linden
burg line.

Newsy Letters From Salters.

Salters Depot, Feb. 20-The wealth
er has been very changeable for the
PAST week or more, from pleasant
spring like days to severe cold, with
considerable rain, thunder and light
ing and some snow.
The Truck Growers Association has
experienced some trouble in getting
bean seed, but it is thought there
will be enough obtained to supply the
demand. The acreage planted in
beans this year will be large, so that
the farmers may ship in car lots.
English peas are up and look fine.
This crop has never been planted fer
market in this section before and the
outcome will be watched closely. A
good acreage has been planted.
There will probably be some in
crease in the acreage of tobacco this
year over last and as marketing
conditions this year will be under
different conditions from those here
tcfore used, the outlook is brighter.
There will be good acreage plant
e.; in sweet potatoes this year for
market. A large curing house will
be built here for the curing of the
crop. The usual large crop of corn
will be planted, something more than
last year. Rice: is being planted to
some extent for home consumption.
Mr.. Henry E. Davis of Florence,
has put out a large pecan orchard
on his fathers place here, numbering
UPWARD of 500 trees of the Stuart,
Schly and Success varieties.

The Law Is for All to Obey.

A New York city judge recently
saw fit to commit to Jail a member
of the police force for an assault
uron q civilian ,In2so doing he call
ed timely attention to the growing
tendency of police officers to over
step the limits of their authority.
Nothing breeds greater disrespect
for the law than lawlessness on the
part of the agencies charged with
enforcing it. Minor courts in some
Of the larger cities have brought un-
deserved criticism upon the entire in
stitution of courts, because of the
risguided efforts of a few incumbents
of the bench. Police departments in
nearly all the large cities have ac-
CURED disfavor from similar causes.
Too great zeal in tile punishment
fo, crime is at least as harmful as
too great laxness. The American
idea has always been that it is bet
ter to err on the side of mercy than
on the side of injustice. The maxum
that it is better to allow SO guilty
persons to escape than to infiict pun
isllment wrongfully in one case, is
as wise in these days Of so-cailed
crime waves, as it was in the most
piping times of peacefulness.
In American cities, courts and po-
lice departments alike owe their con-
tinuance to some sort of political
favor. New or shallow incumbents
OF the bench or heads Of police de-
partments are apt to cater to pub
lie favor by going sled-length in the
enforcement of some measure which
attracts nomentary popular interest.
IN q few cities, where the tremendous
power OF some newspapers has in
ffeted All invisible government upon
the municipalities, the activity OF
courts ard police is especially danger
ous.
Il is "A human failing for: q man
tn become intoxicated with power,
Rare indeed is the individual who will
exercise with forbearance newly-im-
!, ,pcsed powers. Police officers have
been prone to exceed their lawful
duties. Too often they look upon the
club as their wand Of authority to
be wavei and welded on slight pro-
vocation, rather than for use as a
last resort. Too often they speak
In the rough tone Of command, rather
ttan with the calm persuasiveness
which appeals to American reason
ableness. It has been a fault Of
American police organization tha'
men are arrayeds with the garb Of
authority without having been IN
structed in the way it should be worn
The age of the mailed fist is gone
Police should be taught that the
quiet, courteous word of direction
rather than the truculent voice Of
command, is more readily needed BY
Americans. Capable police officers
will lose none of their power to meet
emergencies with force, through the
conversation of that quality.
It lies with the proper munlclpa
officials to restrain the unbridled ex
ercise of authority by police officers
An added sense of responsibility j:
needed by some of the judges. Law
ful enforcement of the law is impera
tive.-Darbom Independent.

Women Like to See
Their Gowns in Motion

TT HE passing show OF fashion
keenly delights many women
who prefer to see clothes in
the wearing rather than in the maxi
ing.
We are all imitators. Darwin used
this fact as an excellent example of
the source from which we sprang.
Therefore, being imitators, we like to
see the parade go by and exclaim. like
children, II like that gown. / wish
bad hat like that. i could make my
old coat into one just like that if /
could get closer view"
Such are the comments OF women
as they view the clothes of those who
have right to be called leaders of
style, those who IL lacking clothes to
buy or discuss would find their life's
occupation gone. Not that ali well
dressed women come under that in
dictment, but one must think much of
clothes, also spend much on them, to
be the beloved of the dressmakers and
never to be found wanting in the per-
feet proportions of n costume. IL was
the shopkeepers, initiating the French
dressmakers, who founded the parade
OF mannequins on just such beautiful
psychology.
To woman gown in the hand is
only bird in the bush. She gets direct
