In spite of the fact that tobacco
prices slumped below Border Belt
averages when the markets OF East
ern North Cardinals New Bright
Belt cot under way on Tuesday, the
consensus of opinion here appears
still to be that Middle Belt tobacco
will sell higher than the east, ana
possibly even better than on the
Border, because of the exceptional y
good quality Of the weed grown IN
this area this summer.
Fred M. Allen, Jr., SASS super
visor for the Henderson market. who
visited several eastern markets at the
Tuesday openings, said it was felt by
manv here who were on the mar
kets there, and who talked with east
ern farmers that a considerable
quantity of tobacco from that sec
tion would be marketed in the Mid
die Belt, due to heaVler-bodled
leaf grown in some sections, winch
is not the type generally bought on
the eastern markets. This heavier
type, Allen said, exactly fits the
grade generally seen in Henderson,
and for this reason brings better
price when sold along with better
grades.
Allen said very little tobacco from
this section apparently is going to
the east. This was due, he said, to
lower prices being paid there, and
the general forecast that local prices
will be somewhat higher than those
on the eastern markets.
The supervisor estimated Eastern
Carolina prices Tuesday were about
50 per hundred lower than Border
Belt prices. Lower quality Of the Of
ferings was given as the explanation
for this decline in averages and price
ranges.
He said rough survey of mar
kcts visited in the east showed to-
bacco of light, almost bleached, color
in many instances, while on the other
hand heavier, good-bodied tobacco,
which would have brought higher
prices, sold from $50 to S27 per hun
drcd pounds, Cue to condition of the
piles Tobacco had been on ware
house floors on some markets for
over a week and considerable guam
titles of leaf were sold md then re-
sold at from SO to 81 lower, while

TRIBUTE TO A DOG
BY SENATOR VEST

Senator Vest, of Missouri, was at
tending court in a country town, and
while waiting for the trial of case
in which he was interested, he was
urged by the attorneys in dog case
to help them. He was paid a fee of
$3.50 by the plaintiff. VoluminOus
evidence was introduced to show that
the defendant had shot the dog in
malice, while the other evidence
went to show that the dog had at
tackled the defendant. Vest took no
part in the trial and was not disposed
to speak. The attorneys, however,
urged him to make a speech, else
their client would not think he had
earned his fee. Being thus urged, he
arose, scanned the face of each jury
man for moment, and said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury: The best
friend man has in the world may
turn against him and become his
enemy. His son or daughter that he
has reared with loving care may
prove ungrateful Those who are
nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our happiness
and our good name may become
trnitors to their faith The money
that man has he may lose. It flies
away from him, perhaps, when he
needs it most. A mans reputation
may be sacrificed in moment of
;ll-considered action. The people who
Hrc prone to fall on their knees to
do us honor when success is with
Us may be the first to throw the
stone Of malice when failure settles
It's cloud upon our heads. The one
absolutely unselfish friend that man
can have in this selfish world, the
one that never deserts him, the one
that never proves ungrateful or
treacherous, is his dog. A mans dog
stands by him in prosperity and
poverty, in health and sickness. He
will sleep on the cold ground where
the wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely, if only he may be
near his masters side. He will kiss
the hand that has no food to offer;
he will lick the wounds and sores
that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards
the sleep of his pauper master as if
he were a prince When all other
riches take wings and reputation
ldIlS W plCCGS, IlC do COIlOtdI IL
his love as the sun in its journey
through the heavens.
eff fortune drives the master forth
an outcast in the world, friendless
and homeless, the faithful dog asks
no higher privilege than that of ac-
companying him, to guard against
danger, to fight against his enemies,
and when the last scene Of all comes,
and death takes the master in its
embrace, and his body is laid away
in the cold ground, no matter if ali
other friends pursue their way, there
by the graveside will the noble dog
be found, his head between his paws,
his eyes sad, but open in alert watch
fulness, faithful and true even in
DEATH"
Senator Vest sat down. He had
spoken in low voice, without any
gesture. He made no reference to the
evidence or the merits of the case.
When he finished, judge and jury
were wiping their eyes. The jury
returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for $500. He had sued for

MdnY Exposed To
tuberculosis Here

Recent studies conducted by the
\ a t j on a tuberculosis Association
show that there are on an average of
40 persons exposed to tuberculosis for
each annual death, so reported Delmar
r. Serafy, executive secretary of the
Columbiana County Public Health
League. There are an average of SO
deaths from tuberculosis in Colum-
biana County each year according to
the Bureau Of Vital Statistics. From
these figures Serafy estimates that
there are 1440 persons exposed to tu-
berculosis in Columbiana County.
The above figures are the results
of survey conducted in numerous
cities throughout the United States.
Serafy has just returned from "The
Institute for tuberculosis Workers"
held in indianapolis, Indiana April 8
to lJ. The Institute was held in the
extension division Of the University
Of Indiana under the direction Of Dr.
Philip Jacobs, Director of Personnel
Training and Publications of the Nati-
onal tuberculosis Association.
Thirty public health workers repre-
senting the states in the central sec

list of corporation salaries and bonus
es for 1897 just made public by the
Treasury Department should be pasted
in the hat Of every Congressman and
Senator, and over the desk Of every
editor who wants to hold forth on
balancing the budget" In the list
published by the New York Times,
which is not complete, GIG persons are
drawing salaries larger than that of
the President Of the United States.
Here are few comparisons:
The President gets $4,000 a year,
the vice president and members of
the cabinet get $4,000, each, the nine
Supreme Court Justices get $4,000 a
year, except the Chief Justice, who
gets $20,500. Add them all together,
and you have 1920, 800 a year, for 21
men of enormous sponsibilities.
Eugene g. Grace got 1894, 1856 a
year. And he is still mourning for
the bright days of 1929, when he got
only $4,000 salary and 81 100000 for
! bonus.
The amusement industry pays the
most fantastic salaries Louis b.
Mayer, 'production executive" of
Loew's, got from that company ST.
161, 1853, and as vice president Of
Metro -Goldwyn Mayer he drew $134,-
$50 the same year, 1897. Taken to-
gether, they come to 81 1,296,503.
The President, vice president,
Cabinet members, Supreme Court
justices and the 96 Senators Of
the United States had combined
salaries the same year Of 81 $780,
500.
General Motors said that its work
ers averaged S1,250 year. William
S. Knudsen, president Of G.. NJ, got
S247,210 the same year, or about two
thirds of an auto workers yearly
wages each day. | have no figures

1t is much to be hoped that the plan

quickly. 1t is about two years since
Barney Baruch said the United States
ought to buy million tons of tin, and
keep it on hand And with tin and
rubber on hand, it is not easy to see
how we could be blockaded on any

In 1887, Uncle Sam smelted 36.6 OF
the worlds pig iron; refined 81 per
cent Of the worlds copper; produced
65.S per cent of the worlds petroleum
and 89.9 per cent Of molybdenum. But
of the 211,000 tons of tin produced
that year, we produced 145 tons; and
we have no rubber worth mentioning
at all.

near-islands close in south Of Asia,
and in the mountain republic Of Bo-

you could cover the Malayan tin with
the palm Of your hand, and the Bo-
livian ones with the ball of your
thumb.
Something tells me that tin and
rubber would be high and scarce if
they had to be carried across a sub
