Campaign For New Membership.

The Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association is now entering upon an
intensive campaign for new members
and the prospects are exceedingly
bright for large membership. Every
member has caught the spirit of coop
GRAFTON and they are putting their
shoulders hard against the wheels
doing their part in making this cam
paign a splendid success.
There is only one way for the farmers
to get fair price for his product and
that is through cooperative market
ing. There are only two kinds OF peo-
pie against this system OF business,
and they are first, the ones who do
not understand the meaning of coop
Grafton and second, the ones who have
ulterior methods-or their own selfish
interest in the old method OF market
ing.
The splendid success of the cooper
alive marketing OF other commodities
IS surely q splendid example for the
growers of tobacco to follow. II is ar
| indisputable fact that the only failures
that have been met by any co-opera.
| tive marketing association have beer
caused by extreme bad management
These associations have been and al.
ways will be successful when operated
| by competent men and for Legitimate
profit. Every man who joins the
MARY land Tobacco Growers sAssocia.
ton is showing by his action that BIZ
is trying to do his best for himself
| his family, his neighborhood, his
state and his government. His aci
creates wave, the motion of which is
| felt throughout the nation. He is Ger.
tainly doing the right thing and has q
right to be proud OF it. Join the AS
sociation today and help to put the
Mary land tobacco grower on his feet.

discussion relating to the unsightly
rubbish marring our road sides, which
should in truth, offer the weary passer-
by the peace and beauty of an unblem-
ished country scene. Thus developed
a committee to wait upon the Town
Council in reference to the matter.

OBITUARY.

On Sunday, April sth, the angel oil
death visited our home and stilled the
voice OF our precious boy, James, .
years and II months old.
We know God makes no mistakes
and all his ways are best, but it seems
so hard to part with one so loving and
bright. who endeared himself to all
who knew him. Our fond hopes and
lofty ambition for him are all shat
tered and lie withered at our feet, bu,
we know that God has taken him to a
fairer home where pain and sorrow
are unknown.

Mary's Cemetery on Monday Mr.. g.
