crop than they received from their
entire crop last year.
So successfully have the Burley
Tobacco Growers of Kentucky carried
through their plans, that s5 per cent
of them are now members in the as
sociation which has brought them
substantial profits in place Of their
heavy losses of last year.
Another feature Of the success OF
the organized Kentucky growers has
been their ability to establish salts
factory grades by means of their
association. Under the direction Of
President James C. Stone, expert
graders and buyers have handled the
tobacco of members, not only to the
entire satisfaction of the growers, but
in such a manner that 60,000,000 out
of s5,O00,OO0 pounds of tobacco re-
ceived between January 26th and ear
ly March had been sold at prices that
were three times the amount paid as
adanvces to the growers on delivery
of their product.
Although wider territory, larger
membership and greater volurne of
tobacco in the association of Carolinas
and Virginia growers have required
more time for organization, the sue
cess of this association now seems
assured.
The directors of the Tobacco Grow
ers' cooperative Association who met
in Raleigh recently are determined to
give all tobacco growers in the Caro-
linas and Virginia a chance to sign
the marketing contract in the cam
paign to enlarge the present major
ity membership in 96 counties Of three
states, according to M. O. Wilson,
secretary of the association and d.
rector of Field Service, who says:
Increased membership means in
creased power and profits for our as
scciation, as proven by the success of
Kentucky Burley growers in market
ing their crops for largely increased
profits after attaining a great major
ity sing-up.
"The success of tobacco growers in
this movement means prosperity for
all. A flourishing tobacco belt will
bring us better homes, better schools,
better standards Of living and civil
lization here in our southland worthy
of the great traditions of our past"
Americans in other farming sections
and industries have won prosperity
through cooperative marketing. If
tobacco growers of our section will
continue to sign the contract by the

Palace Review


 The rolling eye and the heav1ng breast, so generally employed to show emotion for the screen, cOnsipcuOusIy are absent from John Barrym ores portrayal of Sherlock Holmes" the feature photoplay at Polls Palace theatre for the first half of this week.
 To watch John Barrymore in this great detective role is to understand why he is a great actor. With all the restraint and artistry for which he is noted, he manages to make the role of Sherlock Holmes convincing and yet exciting. The action of the picture, particularly toward the end, moves rapidly; the photogra phy is excellent and the scenes, if they were not actually taken in London. have an atmosphere undeniably English. The supporting cast is capable and competent. The picture is one of those "be at the bridge at midnight and bring the letters with you" sort of things which most people like be- cause it gives them a. thrill. Instead of one villain it has a bakers dozen of them and one more viI1ainous than all the rest, a nightmarish sort of villain (indeed, who is outwitted at t2e- -snd by the great detective.
 The musical numbers include "Orpheus of the UnderworId,' by the Palace Orchestra; solos by Walter Smith, baritone; an organ recital by Arthur Depew, and the sympathy duet from ''The Fireffy." by Lillian Crossman and Frank Ridge. The usual news reel, scenic and comic pictures complete the program.

 Lovers of the silent drama are to get screen direction when they visit the Polls Palace theatre during the first half of the week and see John Barry more in Sherlock Holmes.'
 They are to see melodrama, it is true, but ''melodrama dramatized'' as one of the Poi mana cement has said They will not see the crude love-mak- ing, the crude attempt at assassination and the crude setting of the common place.

Touching on the convention, Mr.. Nc
Kenna also said:
"If / may hazard an opinion, the
establishment of the Federal Reserve
system played no small share in en-
ablinG the banks to establish sound
credit and a financial position which is
as secure as at any time in the history
of American finance. / admire particu-
larly the public spirit of the great Ameri-
can bankers which has enabled them
even at times at a loss to themselves to
face difficult conditions in the public in
terest. The convention has given us-I
mean the outside bankers-an opportu-
nifty Of hearing and reading of something
of the work of American banks"
Mr.. McKenna said that he doubted IL
conditions were yet ripe for definite
funding of the British debt to the
United States. He said that there are
still some preliminary difficulties to be
overcome arising out of the the lim!-
tations imposed by Congress on the
powers of the American commission.
Mr.. McKenna said he believed it pos
sible that the funding would take the
form of a bond issue to be sold in this
country. This was one of the questions
for the commission to determine. Eng
land might prefer to substitute the
American people for the American Gov
ernment as creditor instead of hav-
ing the matter continue as a transac-
tlon between the two Governments.

M'kENNA RECOMMENDS
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS

Speaking before the Bond Club Of
New York at the regular monthly
luncheon at the Bankers Club yester
day the Rt. Hon. Reginald McKenna,
former Chancellor of the Exchequer of
Great Britain. expressed the belief that
with their present mutually satisfactory
understanding. invesmn bankrs OF
Great Britain and the United States
could solve the economic problems of
the world.
The speaker said the salvation of
Great Britain lay in the fact that for
two hundred years bankers there had
been learning the art of lending money
to other nations of the world in order
that the latter might buy British goods
and increase British production.
Mr.. McKenna pointed out that since
his visit to- the United States last year
American investment bankers had made
important progress along these same
lines. He emphasized the point that
the great American investing public
would have an opportunity to put saw
ings into foreign securities, not only
those of foreign governments but also
those of industrial enterprises. This.
Mr.. McKenna asserted, was a real
opportunity.
The management of the Bond Club
refused to make public the text of Mr..
McKenna's remarks, arguing that the
meeting was informal and purely a
famaily affair In local bond circles
however. the address of the clubs CUES,

The Truth About
Overcoat Materials
An Interesting Statement Made
by Clothing Manufacturers.

1t is not overcoat styles we are
concerned about, but the materials
from which overcoats are made.
We can take care of the styles, if
we have the correct materials to
start from. But a good overcoat
material-a material that combines
warmth with little weight, that is
all wool, that will stand the rough
est kind of wear in the worst kind
of weather and not look crushed
and worn, but retain its dressy APP
pearance-such a material is diff
cult to find in any of the woolen
mills here and abroad. And it's
the only kind of overcoat material
we wantl
Last year we thought we had it
and discovered we'd made a mis-
take. Well-we paid for that mis-
take! We refunded money on many
overcoats-on every single one that
failed to come up to our guarantee
because the material was not what
it had been represented to be to us.
The fact is that many houses were
compelled to place labels on their
overcoats, stating that the mate
rials were not guaranteed for hard
wear.
That mistake taught us lesson.
We won't have to refund money
this year. We've made careful
selection of overcoat materials for
this season and have absolute con-
fidence in their wearing qualities.
They are serviceable, warm, of cor
rect weight, in dark, attractive col
ors-and they stand the roughest
possible usage. These materials we
have developed in the very newest
fashions.
And the prices on these guaran.
teed overcoats? Just the usual
Finkelstein and Maisel genuine
wholesale prices, with which the
public is now well acquainted. But
remember-you are buying direct
from the manufacturers who have
gained the pubhc's confidence b!
their honest straightforward sale'
policy. >
Just stop in and look them ovel
after all, winter is nearly here
And please don't forget that ou1
absolute guarantee of thorough sat
isfaction or money refunded still
holds good on overcoats as well al
the suits and topcoats we make.
