Last year, flue-cured leaf farnNrs

As result, 4 40,0OO,OOO pound sur
plus was piled up to glut the market
On top Of that, Britain Withdrew
her buyers at the beginning Of the
present conflict last September
throwing further confusion into an
already demoraliZed market.
Following the British action, North
Carolina and other Southern farmers
readily approved marketing quotas
on the 1910 crop in order that the
government could work out 4 loan
agreement to take up that portion
OF the crop normally bought by Eng
land.
Even with this assistance, Floyd
pointed out. the average price paid
for the 1889 crop was only l4.8 cents
4 pound. as compared with an aver
age price OF 22.9 cents for the pre-
vjouS fWe-year period.

Ii IS thought Habakkuk wrote IN
the reign OF Jehoiakim, around 609-
697 B. c. The Chaldeans were the
conquering nation of the time, and
Habakkuk foretells the conquest of
Jerusalem by them in these words:
I For, 10, raise up the Chaldeans
that bitter and hasty nation which
shall march through the breadth Of
the land, to possess the dwelling
Dfaces that are not theirs.
They are terrible and dreadful:
;heir judgment and their dignity
hall proceed Of themselves.
Their horses also are sWifter than
The leopards, and are more fierce
than the evening wolves: and their
horsemen shall come from far: they
shall lily Is the eagle that hasteth to
cat
In the book OF E:abakkuk is the
first mention in the Bible of that pro-
blem that has perpleXed people from
The earliest time even to now: how
IS 1t that evil people prosper while
the righteous and just suffer all sorts
Of ills? God is all powerful and all
things proceed from Him. Why, then,
should the good be poor and distress
ed and the unrighteous gain the good
things Of the world? Habakkuk an
sWers the question satisfactorily for
him. In the end, he states, the good
shall win. 1t is Gods plan. The times
he describes seem to be much the
same as those Of today, when many
are asking the self-same question.
20 Lord, how long shall l cry, and
Thou wilt not hear even cry out
unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt
not cave.
why dost Thou show me iniquity,
and cause me TO behold grievance?
for spelling and violence are before
me: and there are that raise up strife
and contention.
"Therefore the law is Stacked, an
judgment doth never go forth: for
the wicked doth compass about the
righteous: therefore wrong judg-
ment proceedeth."

For the vision is yet for an APP
pointed time, but at the end it shall
speak, and not lie though it tarry

come, it will not tarry.
Behold, his soul which is lifted
up is not upright in him; but the just
shall live by faith"
cart Thou not from everlasting, O
Lord my God mine holy one?" asks
Habakkuk, therefore I'VE shall not

SOCIAL WORKERS
DISCUSS MEANS
TO RAISE FUNDS
SEEK TO INCREASE MEDICAL
CARE FOR NEEDY PEOPLE
AND TO ESTABLISH HOME
FOR AGED NEGROES

AT the regular monthly meet
ing of the Florida State AsSocia-
ton of Social Workers which was
held in the WPA building on
last Monday night, plans were
discussed for two important un-
dertakings on which the group
will work during the next few
months.
The first was discussion of
possible ways in which to raise
funds for the establishment of
more complete medical care for
the people of the community
who cannot afford private care.
1t is hoped that eventually ii
will be possible to handle bed
ridden cases and to add to the
famount of surgical and dental
care now offered.
Plans were also discussed con-
corning the raising of money
for the establishment of a home
for aged Negroes. The Associa-
ton of Social Workers is aiding
interested Negro citizens in this
undertaking. Funds will be
raised by various means for the
building of the home, which will
accommodate ten people who are
able to pay a little each month,
and an additional three who are
able to contribute nothing. Later
it is possible that larger num-
Der may be cared for.
A business meeting was held
during which reports from the
various committees were given
and it was decided that the next
meeting would be followed by a
dinner and social hour.
Newly-elected president of the
organization is Mrs. Virginia
Baker of the Welfare Depart
ment, and vice-president is Miss
Mary Falk, district social work
er of the Works Progress Admin
istration.
