WHERE DOES THE
FARMER COME IN?
Letter From Ex- Chairman Pitt Coun-
ty Board of County Commission
ers.

After carefully studying for over
a year the cooperative marketing
plan, I fail to see where the farmer
can be benefited by the untried and
over estimated tobacco pooling prop
osition. First he is supposed to
meekly consent to give over all of
his crops and rights of his honest
toll five years. To whom are you in
trusting your only means of support?
Are they people who have earned
their support by the sweat of their
brow or are they the kid gglove fell
fees and your taxes? Reflect and I
will accept your answer. Do you
think that they are satisfied with
what they have received of you and
now intend forming an imaginary
plan by which, with their kindness
will make it easy for you to repay
yourself? Are they striving so hard
for the farmers interest? Examine
your own wisdom and see where you
and your family come in. Remem-
ber we have had war and people
are looking for jobs. The world
could no more control the aftermath
of that great war than a fly could
hold back a tornado. The govern
ment warns you to watch your step
and hold your hat for there are lots
of takers. For generations it has
been said that eighty per cent of the
people jumped for illusions, spent
and wasted fortunes, while all tanks
and tubs were only twenty per cent
hoops and yet they held the water. So
with the progress of the world, only
a small per cent is endowed with care
and wisdom to stand their ground
and see that the masses of Gods Gre
alton is furnished bread and raiment.
But am porud to know that large
majority of the best thinking people
in this country are not going to de-
liver their past and future earnings
into the hands Of nrv orc. and de-
pend on being rcd hy thr worm as

MINERS CONSIDERING REPLY
 TO PRESIDENT HARDING

Washington, July 16.-Bituminous coal mine operators representing associations of employers in all the principal produc- ing districts in the United States went into final session tonight to consider what response they should make to President Harding's offer of arbitration to settle the existing strike.
 The response of the miners union. de- clining the offer, was made to President Harding Saturday, while anthracite op- orators had previously announced their acceptance leaving the bituminous group of employers the only one of the three parties whose position has not been formulated. Whether the bi minous operators could come to an agreement to- night was not known, and 1t was consider ed likely in all quarters that further de- cisions of the government would not be made public until their answers had reached the president.
 One influential group among the bi- luminous employers was advocating a complete acceptance of the presidents proposal in advance of the formal ses- sion. Through conceding to the argument of their associates that the government's offer had raised many difficulties in the industry; spokesmen advocating this dis that it would leave the employers in a good light before the country and in Q position to join sympathetically with any further move the administration might desire to make.
