Growers Have Two Sets Of Quo.
tas-Acreage Allotment And
Poundage.

The penalties for growers who ex-
coed their cotton and tobacco allot-
ments in 1888 have been explained
by E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive offic-
er at State College.
Tobacco growers are given an
acreage allotment and a poundage
quota.
If tobacco is planted in excess of
the allotment, deductions from the
growers agricultural conservation
payment will be made at the rate
of 10 cents pound on the average
production of the excess acreage.
Tobacco sold in excess of the
poundage quota is subject to pen
atty of one-half the gross value of
the leaf or three cents a pound,
whichever is greater.
If grower keeps within his acre
age allotment, but produces more
than his poundage quota, he will
still have to pay the penalty if he
sells more than his quota.
For this reason, growers should
sell their best tobacco before their
marketings reach the limit of their
quotas.

DUCE'S BODY
GUARD AT ROME
Is Formed of Aristocrats Who
Render Service Voluntary
Without Pay
SOLDERING IN ITALY

Rome.-Aristocracy has turned to
soldering in Fascist Italy.
At all public ceremonies at which
Premier Mussolini officially partici-
pates his special bodyguard Of
BLACK Musketeers" is called out.
This special corps numbers in its
ranks an amazing percentage Of
bluebloods.
The commander of the muske-
teers is Marquis Mario d'Havet. The
other 158 members, personally
picked by II Duce himself, include
such ancient and famous names as
Prince Urbano Barberini-Co Colonna,
Bali of the Order Of Malta; Prince
Piero Colonna, governor Of Rome;
Prince Luigi Ruspoli, Marquis Luigi
Berlingieri, Marquis Alan de
Rivera, Count Meli-Lupi di Soragna,
Count Vittorio di Colbertaldo and
numerous others.
Count Colbertaldo is the body
guards sculptor Recently on the
fifteenth anniversary Of the founda-
ton Of the corps Colbertaldo de-
signed a statue representing the
Spirit Of the Organization" which
was presented to the Duce by Com
mander d'Havet.
The Black Musketeers were
founded by Mussolini IS years ago.
At first they were only so young
sters belonging to the famous dare
and die" Fascist flying squads Of
action. The corps was meant to
represent, as II Duce himself once
pointed out, the ideal continuity be-
tween the flying squads of action
and the armed guard of the Fascist
revolution"
Other members Of the corps in
clude 80 commanders Of the crown
Of Italy, so knights Of the same or
der, five members Of the sovereign
military Order OF Malta, six mem
bers Of the Order of st. Maurice and
Lazarus, and professor Of politi-
cal science at the University of
Rome.
Sixty-four Of the present mem
bers participated in the march on
Rome. Forty Of them volunteered
for service during the Italo-Ethio-
plan campaign and 13 won medals
Tor bravery on the battlefields Of
Santander and Malaga in Spain.
The musketeers have snappy
black uniforms with silver daggers
ana short muskets with silver bar
rels. They wear silver skulls on
their fezes, reminiscent of German
Hussars.
Their service. which is voluntary,
pays no remuneration. They are
recruited for a period of one year,
which may be renewed.
