PORTUGAL FARMS
 HAVE GOOD YEAR
Crops Nearly Reach Record
 Peaks in Some Instances

Lisbon. Frugal, Nov. 20 UP)- The agricultural year just ended was a fair one for the Portuguese farmer, while the cereal. crop nearly reached the record peaks attained in 1923 and 1925. Storms and drought adversely affected crops in some CommuneS.
 The cereal crop is estimated at 390, ,000,0o litrcs, which is near the record. The principal producing dis tricts were Bepa, 9T,000,00o; Evora SO,00O,00r; Portalegre, 61,000, 0,000; Santarem, 44,000,000; Lisbon, 3S, 100000.
 The condition of live trees in PIG communes is mostly good.
 The wine crop was generally good except in Adegalega, Grandola and Setubal. where the crops were near ly entirely ruined.
 Tras- os- Montes was particularly hard hit by storms,Which practically ruined all crops which had not al ready been killed by the lack oi water. In Beira. despite the lack oi water. crops were fair. In EXtrama- dura the corn and bean crops suf- fered on account of the drought, hu the potato crop was not affected This years rice crop in AlCacer Wa' particularly excellent.

l2glish Labor Government Will
 race Serious Political Storms In
 Coming Months, Observers Assert
Combination of Conserva- lives and Extreme Left of Party Threaten Safe ty of Macdonald Group and Plans.

London. Nov. % (UP)-The labor government will face series of serious, if not critical, political storms before the Christmas recess, in the opinion of most well-informed observers. Some sources expressed the opin- ion today that the storm period" would be delayed until next spring through a maneuver of the conser- Vatlve opposition. but all agreed that Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald must face vigorous opposition on the new social legislation which in creases certain pensions and doles. and would cost the government at least an additional 24.5OO. 900 pounds (about Sl22,5OO,OOO) in 1880. |
 Combination Threat
 Strangely enough, a combination Of the conservative party and the eXtrep1e left wing laborite has threatened the most serious opposi- tlon to the social legislation pro- gram. The conservatives oppose the increase in costs and the labor rad lcalS want more.
 If the storm is postponed until next spring, it would be because the conservatives plan to encourage the expenditures of the labor gov crnment and make political capital of the situation.
 It was pointed out that the pro- posed legislation already has raised the question of an increase in tax ation, which already is the highest ln the world. Some observers believe that the conservatives may reserve full opposition to the measures until Philip Snowdens budget is present ed next spring, when they would dc their utmost to defeat it and force general election. The party could then go to the country with a pro- gram based in promises of reduced taxation which would have a more popular appeal than any of the indi- Nldual isues which might be raised at present.
 Liberals Hold Balance
 The liberal party. which might oi might not oppose the social legisla. lion proposals, holds the balance o1 power to defeat the government or straight party-line vote but the conservatives could overthrow Prime Minister Macdonald if tho left wing of the labor party voted against the proposed measures which it might do for reaon en. tirely foreign to the conservatives.

Lucky salesman gets hint from doctor that does the trick

and with your kind of work they certainly cut down efficiency. Why don't you try Nujol?"
 ''Well, believe it or not" says MT Myers, "in a few days l felt like a new man. Whats got into you?, asked the home office, your busi- ness has increased 50 per cent!"" " :"
 That's the great thing about Nujol. As soon as it begins to clean the poisons out of your system it makes you feel so well that you can almost always do much better job.
 Nujol is not a medicine and con- tains no drugs. It is perfectly harm- less, forms no habit. It is simply bodily fabrication, which everybody needs. You, like everybody else!
 Why put of good health any longer? Go into any good drug store and get a bottle of Nujol in sealed package. Costs so little and means so much! Maybe you can increase your efficiency 50 per cent too!

 Established Factor
 Birth control is already as cstab- lishcd factor in modern life as the automobile, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdicll, pastor of the Park avenue Baptist church, told the delegates in plea that discussion of the subject be lifted out Of suppression and treated in the sunlight" The pastor at the same time warned that the birth control program can best be advanced by dispassionate study, People are stiil in the hectic stage of emotion over the whole matter. D he said. Some arc flaming with ardor for it, some with wrath against it, and too few are thoroughly ly studying it"

Union Forms Association
To Promote Welfare of
Independent Cigar Makers

Reading Pa. (ILNS)-As the result
of action taken by the Cigar Max
ers' International Union, independent
union cigar manufacturers, packers
and jobbers have formed a co-opera-
tive association, with headquarters
here, to promote their interests and
cope effectively with changing condi-
tions in the cigar industry. The pri-
mary purpose of the organization will
be the advantageous buying of leaf
tobacco, which is now largely con-
trolled by great financial interests
which are back of the big non-union
cigar manufacturers.
The organization, which is to be
known as the Cigar Makers Cooper
ative Association, was formed by A..
p Bower, for worked for its forma-
ton under the direction of President
|. NJ. Ornburn and the executive board
of the Cigar Makers Union. The as
sociation was organized in conformity
with action taken by the 1925 conven-
tion of the union, which directed the
officers to begin the movement look
ing to the formation Of a cooperative
association The action of the 1925
convention was reaffrmed in 1927,
The move is thought to be the first of
its kind taken by a trade union.
Plans Made at Buffalo
Preliminary plans for the associa-
tion were made at Buffalo on October
19 at meeting attended by independ-
ent cigar manufacturers from all the
United States. Application for a
charter is now pending in Pennsyl-
vania.
Union officers and union cigar man
ufacturers are enthusiastic over the
outlook for the new movement, seeing
it as big cooperative effort Of all
elements in the Independent cigar
making industry to effect economies
and conduct business on more eff
cient lines. The movement is expected
to prove not only of benefit to the in
dustry and to the cigar-smoking pub

pending in congress, which would
tirement law This bill does not en-
tirely meet the wishes of affiliated
organizations directly affected, espe-
cially with respect to lower optional
retirement age requirements, but its
enactment would correct other exist
ing defects.
This legislation passed the senate

passed in the closing days of the ses-
SIGN, which permitted President Cool
icge to give it the pocket veto" This

The convention referred to this in
cident as "a shocking example of leg
islative sabotage, rejecting discredit
upon those responsible for this frus-
iration of the will of the people by
sharp practices in Defiance of orderly
parliamentary procedure"
The convention indorsed the Al
lour week for every department of
government. The executive council
was instructed to cooperate with the
representatives of affiliated organiza-
tions to extend this principle "in a
each group, and as forerunner for
rhe introduction of the five-day week

TENS, says report adopted by the
Western North Carolina conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, in annual session here. The
report, which was prepared by the
committee on industrial relations,
urged the creation of non-partisan,
non-political federal commission to
study the textile industry and rec
ommend ways and means of provid-
ing living wage for workers and to
prevent strikes.
The conference adopted the follow
ing findings:
l. The textile industry is sick and
few mills are making reasonable
return on the investment.
2. That cotton mills are not in a
position to pay wage that will pro-
vide a minimum normal standard of
living, and that some, means should
be found to pay such wage and
add it to the cost price of the prod
uct In this section it also was de-
clared wages were higher in North
Carolina than farther south.
3. That there is no hope of relief
in wage cuts and stretch-out systems
which only produce strikes, sabotage
and restricted production.
A. The church pledges its good eff
fort in helping employers and en-
ployes work out something.
5. United States senators and rep
resentatives are urged to secure the
creation of permanent, non-parti-
san, non-political commission for
proper study Of related problems
throughout the entire textile indus
try.
6. That night work should be grad
ually eliminated.
z. That manufacturers should as
sumo at least half OF the cost OF
maintaining churches in mill COM
munities.
8. Recommended conference of
all pastors assigned to textile cen
terS.

dustrial relations at Duke Univer
