and Asks National Action

At the last meeting of Benton
County Pomona grange, which met
at Locust Grove with an attend
ance of approximately $50, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted.
"Whereas, the large tobacco
companies are putting on an in
tensive advertising campaign with
the evident object of eventually
placing in the mouths of every
man, woman and child in the coun-
try, the abominable cigarette, and,
Whereas, the tobacco companies
are sending out large pictures of
beautiful girls smoking and plac-
ing these pictures in conspicuous
places near the highways and the
streets and in show windows, for
the evident purpose of inducing
our young girls to take up the
habit; and,
Whereas: large tobacco cor
poration, not having life, feeling
or a soul, can not have any inter.
est in the future morals OF the
country, but only selfish desire
on the part of sales managers c
enlarge the business; and,
Whereas, we believe that tne
smoking of cigarettes is injurious
to the health of our young peoplt
and that the continuous use OF tn
cigarette will tend to lower tn
average mentality and morality.
