Mcfarland Is To Sup
ervise Local Sales
CONTINUED from Page One.)

in South Carolina and In Georgia, I
have often heard the buyers remark
(and truthfully so) I can't grade it,
but during my term of service as sup
ervisor of sales on the Henderson mar
ket a few years ago, I never heard a
remark of that kind MADE by any
buyer, and 1 don't think any change
will take place along that line this
coming season, for from what l can
under stand the buying force will re-
main as heretofore
Practically all the buyers have their
homes in Henderson, and they, their
wives and children are part and
parcel of this splendid town, partici-
pating not only in it's business life,
but in it's church and social life.
It's warehousemen are no strangers
to the big purchasing companies. With
out an exception every man of them is
qualified by years of experience to
conduct a sale of tobacco upon any
tobacco market, anywhere, and re-
garded as masters of their profess
sion in selling tobacco at auction for
the high dollar, with a fairness and
courtesy to everyone. All of their help
ers are men of the same high type.
Henderson Will Pay More Money
For Your Tobacco" is the slogan that
the market is using upon their tire
covers It has been truly said by some
great thinker, II know no way to
judge the future except by the past"
and if this be true, Henderson has a
perfect right to make a statement,
like that used on their tire covers.
Here's the proof, presented in al
most a nutshell. For the past five
years, the combined averages of the
three major markets of the Middle
Belt were each $20.87. Henderson's
average was $21.01.
For the past three years the COM
bined averages for that period of time
for the three major markets of the
Middle Belt were respectively $24.83
for one of them, $24.68 for one Of
them, and $2505 for one of them.
HENDERSON WAS THE ONE
THAT AVERAGED $25.O5.
Going still further into figures, I
understand that the whole of the
Bright Leaf Belt of the United States
averaged for the past three years
$3.50. Of North Carolina, $23.78.
HENDERSON'S AVERAGE FOR
THE SAME PERIOD WAS $25O5.
So, Mr.. Reader, the Henderson slo-
gan is not in the nature of the regu-
lar "ballyhoo" put out by many mar
kets as a preview of what they were
going to do, based upon neither rhyme
or reason, but mere myths emanating
from fertile brains, creatures of pure
imagination.
In returning to Henderson as super
visor of sales, I am mindful of the
many courtesies extended me by the
warehousemen, buyers and farmers in
the past, and it will be my earnest de-
sire to continue to merit the good will
of every one coming to the market as
a seller or mere visitor.
SO as to best serve the public by a
quick response to every inquiry the
Henderson $500 Club has placed at
my disposal an office, from which in
formation will be disseminated as to
the sales, etc. Our secretary, Miss
Mary Pitts Turley, will be found daily

large cash fund has been raised for
backing the movement, and this is
being administered by a committee of
leading citizens.
In behalf Of the business COM
munity, the club is working toward
increasing the scope and extent of the
city's hack country, and each year
brings increasing numbers of custom
ers. Henderson has long been recog-
nized as the trading center for a
wide reach of territory in this re-
gion, and draws also from across the
State line in Virginia, from whence
comes much tobacco for the local
market as well.
Patrons of Henderson merchants
find large stocks from which to
choose, and courteous and capable
sales organizations to assist them in
their buying.
Tobacco growers who sell on the
Henderson market have found here,
too, large corps of experienced
warehousemen and buyers to serve
them and to work for the best pos
sible price for their offerings.
Henderson invites growers to sell
their tobacco and cotton in Henderson
and to buy their farm and household
supplies and wearing apparel here
and to bank their surplus, gained by
selling in Henderson, in the large,
safe, sound and accommodating banks
of the city.

east, 1 have followed personally the
sales, and am pleased at the outlook
for good prices in our belt. While in
the making of all the popular and fast
selling brands of cigarettes tobacco
from four different belts are used, yet
without the rich, sweet-bodied tobacco
of this belt the popularity of the Gig
arctic would never have girdled the
globe, converting not only conserva-
tive England but Continental Europe.

Russia and practically all civilized M

bacco, but reached into the Ear East,
invading the realms of former opium
addicts and causing them to seek So
lace from tobacco instead of from the
deadly poppy leaves.
And in such far away countries as
Calcutta, the pensive Hindu now pulls
at his hooka, loaded with Carolina
tobacco; and Egypt, the last Of the
Coptic race fingers over his cigarette
which contains among it's other MAX
ings, great deal of tobacco raised in
the Middle Belt, and sold upon the
Henderson market, and as he puffs its
pure smoke, dreamily contemplates
the obelisk of the centuries.
Mr.. Tobacco Farmer, sell your to-
bacco in Henderson and you can't go
wrong. I thank you.

"Other Wise Man"
Played Again.

THE thirteenth annual presentation
of "The Other Wise Man." as ar
ranged by Bess Davis Schreiner from
the story by DR.. Henry Van Dyke, re-
ceived the first of four enactments
last evening at Luther Place Memorial
Church. This production has risen
above the province Of the reviewer. 1t
has become ritual and, as such,
merits recordation each year, not dis
section. The music, of course, repre-
sents an equal factor with the acting,
and it is being supplied by Katherine
Riggs, harpist, with singing by men,
bers of the cast and a different choral
group at each performance Last night
it was the Schubert Singers, directed
by Mrs. Charles Adair
AS he has so often, Denis Connell
is playing Artaban, the Median. a Mr..
Connell is sterling actor, as almost
every one who has displayed even a
passing interest in Washington's anna
teur and professional thespians
well knows, but Mr.. Connell as Artaban
has become something more than that

as played here, would seem a bit
strange. Happily. however, Mr.. Con-
nell goes on from year to year with
his classic characterization.
Notable, too, are the efforts of Chris
tine Irish, j. Edmond Veitch and Eu-
gene Kressin. The traditional Hebrew
"Kol Nidre" proves Miss Irish's most
impressive effort. Mr.. Veitch, who
plays one of the Three Wise Men, as
we'll as a Roman captain, accords
moving vocal treatment to three an
cient Hebrew songs, including the call
to worship. Miss Helen Turley and
Miss Nina Norman, the latter in the
role OF a young Hebrew mother, also
contribute worthy singing efforts.
The Other Wise Man" will be re-
peated tonight at $50, with the choral
program, scheduled for 7:3O, to be pre-
sented by the choir of National City
Christian Church. The action, cos
tumery and guidance of Miss Schreiner
are excellent, as has come to be ex-
pected. The music and song are DOS
sessed of ineffable beauty. The pro-
duction can be described as no less
than moving ceremony which has
become part of Washington's Christ

ences, having appeared at the Pan
American Union and in opera here q
few years ago. Yesterday was her
debut here in concert program.
From her first number Miss sayao's
notable contribution to the concert art
was the charm with which she infused
her singing. Her voice is q lovely
one, fresh and pure, and she sings
with an economy Of effort that is
decidedly pleasant to witness. But
apart from her technical skill and
natural endowment, she puts the ad-
ditional touch Of grace and delicacy,
an establishment which gives q par
ticular glow to her singing. Each
measure is rounded out with eloquent
nnesse and the voice is made to ex-
press every slight change in thought,
thus keeping the attention riveted
with each new revelation.
It was lovely and colorful singing
and applied with the same charming
effect to songs and arias alike. For
the latter she chose, perhaps with
intention, the type that allowed her
to display this unique gift of hers to
the fullest. There vas the exquisite
"Je Suis Encore Etourdie." from Mas
senet's "Manon"; the "Addio del Pas
sato," from Verdi's La Traviata," and
the beautiful Come Serenemente,"
from the opera 10 Schiavo," by her
countryman, the Brazilian composer,
Carlos Gomez. There was a delicacy
and evanescence in her singing that
defiies description, but which, linked
as 1t Is to the graciousness of her
personality, completely won the audi
ence.
Mr.. Crooks program was made up
mostly of numbers already heard on
his previous appearance They were
sung with the same tenderness of
tonal shading which is Mr.. Crooks
specially, and which is especially well
adapted to the anonymous composers
Have You Seen but a Whyte Lille
Grove" and to the aria from Lalos
"Le Roi d'Ys," "Vainement, Ma Bien
Aimee" The notes Of the higher reg
lister and the fortissimo tones do not
come as easily as formerly to Mr..
Crooks, but in the art of pianissimo
singing he is without peer While his
numbers fitted in we'll with the holiday
spirit, one regrets not having the
opportunity to hear a new program
and some Of the great songs that less
talented singers could not do justice to.
The artists were at their best in the
two duets, the "Parigi o Cara" from
La Traviata," and the Letter Duet"
from Manon." Their voices blended
exceptionally we'll and they showed the
same feeling for emotional expression
At the conclusion Of the program,
which was = short one, the artists

talent for being comical. Sometimes,
however, when he Is saying things
like that, you have feeling that it
would be much funnier If he just
started to extemporize.
The idea of Spring Thaw," one of
those love-is-in-the-air things, Is not
unlike that which was such charm
ing manifestation of life in Call It
a Day" The resemblance, however,
ends with the idea, for the spirit of the
piece is not the same thing at all.
The manner in which the others hang
back in their playing makes it look as
if they were afraid to 60 along with
Mr.. Young and make the thing fine,
happy and farcical every step Of the
way. Even, of course, if it were pos
sible to play it with completely elfin
spirit, the way it is written.
A so strongly one-character play
does not give other characters much
of an opportunity to glitter, but there
are sporadic clutches for attention that
are more than passingly successful.
One of these is Tom Fadden in the
part of yokel who is supposed to
be the head man around Willie's Adj
rondacks lodge, man of good will
but no ability to get necessary things
done. j. P. Wilson gives a good per-
formance in the role of dutiful butler
with a considerable store of wisdom,
and Lillian Emerson is adequate to
the role Of the luttery wife who near
ly always got the wrong answer when
she tried to figure out life.
Spring Thaw" may be worked over
into something more effective before
it reaches New York, but for all the
stoutness of Mr.. Young (who is on
the stage all the time save for one
short scene), and for its variously
amusing moments, it would seem to
require considerable inspired revision.
Its single virtue at the moment is that
it offers lot of Roland Young.

Last nights opening OF spring
Thaw" at the National was one of the
times when it was quite struggle for
Mr.. Young and his audience to find
life as amusing as it used to be for
them. Mr.. Young was casual, but
what he was being casual about left
the audience pretty much the same
way. Much more exciting than the
miscellany of scrambled love about
which Glare Hummer wrote, were the
settings which Donald Oenslager Gre
ated as romantic background for it
all. Exciting settings, however, are
not enough!
Spring Thaw" is a play obviously
tailored to fit its star. Mr.. Young, as
the master of widely recognized and
approved acting style, invites play
wrights to undertake that job. And,
II any one would seem qualified for it
Miss Hummer, whose amiable comedy
style has been and would seem always
to be. just what the producer needed.
Even discounting the fact that it was
the plays first trial spin. the combina-
ton failed to coalesce last night.
Spring ThaW" introduces Mr.

dence in himself, that it is one of the
least exciting triangles imaginable
We cannot believe that Miss Hummer
meant it to be unexciting to that ex-
tent.
With the strength of thorough un-
derstanding of life and love, Willie
does all the things a craven weakling
would do. It ought to be highly anus
