70 blamt and wonder what can
be done 70 avoid the breaking up
of our home. MRS. f.
Why not start In making some
decisions for yourself
A woman or man Is foolish 70
allow the domination Of another
person. The moment we let an
overbearing person take an inch It
will be just a short time when he
starts taking a mile.
The trouble with most OF us il
that we don't know how 10 make
the right decisions. We Through
laziness or cowardiee) absolutely
refuse 70 make decisions and by
taking that attitude. invite the
encroaehment Of domineering per-
sonalities.
Often when we accuse the other
fellow Of making decisions for u
we are passing the buck" for
in reality we are letting him make
up our minds for US. And by 20
doing We get into trouble later
and end up by feeling abused.
One good way To decide a mat
ter is to talk II over with persons
WHOSE experience along the same
lines has been greater than your
own. Then. after weighing his
judgment and experience with your
own, you should be able To figure
out the best course for you To
follow.
But don't feel abused when you
think over your husbands domi-
neering ways and actions. After
all, overbearing men are like that
because their wives have been too
willing Cor too frightened. 10
think Cor themselves.
It's fine TO talk things over with
other people--and especially TO
talk matters over with your own
husband-but youth find that by
making your own decisions when
the time comes-win find you
happier and more independent.
Fur Coat
Dear Miss Grey: Can you tell
me II you land perhaps your read
ers will express themselves, tool
think that a fur coat is an ex-
travagance +?
Ny husband ami have argued
over this for the last few winters.
/ want a fur coat My other
friends all have them and they
assure me tat fur coat is an
economy-nos an extravaganza.
II seems to me that any deserv-
ing wife should have the clothes
she wsnts-so long as her desires
are within reason. II would be
different If my husband could not
afford to buy me a fur coat. He
can, but he won't. Believe me. he
certainly buys himself the best of
everything. Another Wife.
Wen, fur coat is an economy
IL you can afford to have one.
Furthermore, a fur coat seems to
do things" for woman's spirit
but IL seems to me that the lack
Of fur coat is nothing to be I'M
happy about
However, you have all the
fashion authorities on your side
for they maintain that a fur coat
is an economy-not an extrava-
gance.

There will be no government loans
10 farmers. The prospects of furth-
er excessive crops will lower the
price to growers for their production.
10th old and new growers would OK
pand production and this would latcr
require further cuts in allotmcnts fol
Did growers.
In case the farmers do vote for
me thrcc-ycar program it was stated
mat domestic manufacturers can pay
laIr prices for their tobacco without
lear OF excessive production during
The period. In case the thrcc-yCar
luotaS are accepted ii is expected
hat the export trade will buy at
reasonable prices, and the govern
mcnt can better support the maxi
mum price for the better grades OF
The export type.
1t was further brought out that
under the thrcc-ycm plan the farm
arS will be able 10 plan their CROP
without fear Of drastic changes
from year to year. This plan would
also prohibit the -@uopcrators
from making 4 profit at the expense
Of the cooperating growers, it was
stated.
Those eligible to vote in the ref
crcndum and the questions involved
will be any farmer who will share
in the 1910 tobacco crop. The bal
lot will be simple with the following
indications: Any eligible farmer
.NhO is for quotas for three years will
mark question No. l. Any eligible
farmer who is against the thrcc-ycar
quotas will mark question No. ,;
md any eligible farmer who is
against any quotas will mark ques-
ton No. 3. 1t will take 81 per cent
If the vote to carry the referendum.
Quotas will be up or down &C
@ording to the national quota Wheth-
II up or down on the basis Of the
preceding year. However, no farm
allotment can be cut more than 10
Der cent from the 1910 allotment dur
ng the entire thrcC-ycar program,
and no reduction will be made on
farmers growing not more than two
lcrcS. This guarantee does not APP
bly, to those growers who violate the
marketing quotas.
In any case vf failure Of Il farmer
20 account for disposition Of any
amount Of tobacco the allotment for
his farm will be reduced the next
year by such amount Of tobacco.
If any farmer falsely identifies or
'als to account for disposition Of to-
)acco he becomes liable for 4 pen
llty of 10 cents per pound Of the
normal production on the entire
acreage harvested in excess OF the
farm acreage allotment, this penalty
being in addition to any other penal
ty invoked.
Fixed penalties are provided in
the case of any WarchOuSeman, deal
er, or buyer who fails to keep prop
er records and make proper reports.
In case authorized measurements
show that farmer has exceeded his
allotment he is allowed to pillow up all
excess acreage to prevent any penal
ty.
It is understood that the county
committees will confer with the
township committees, and thus re-
lay the information back TO the
farmers in an adequate manner be-
fore the set time for the referendum.

At present Negro teachers in North

There has been a gradual narrow

Negroes were given major share

II is easy to see the wide effect

Virginia case would have.
If North Carolina were called up
on TO put its white and Negro teach
crS immediately upon an equality as
pay for teachers holding the same
kind of certificates, the whole sys-

Romance has trailed Old Glory
since it became our national flag l63
years ago. Since that time II has
symbolized the hopes, aspirations and
spirit of nation devoted to the
cause of liberty.
Prominent among early American
flags, forcrunners Of the Stars and
Stripes, were pine trees, rattlesnakes
and other designs. The Grand Union
flag, with 4 British Jack appearing
where forty-eight stars are now
shown in blue field, was the I'M
mediate ancestor Of our national flag
Pine tree flags were displayed by
the cruisers of Washington's fleet
which operated in New England
waters, and such flags bore the
words, "An appeal to Heaven"
Rattlesnake designs were frequent
ly used by the southern colonies and
a flag of this type was carried by
the u. S. Marines and bluejackets
from the Continental Navy, who
made landing in the Bahamas in
Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-06-14

March, 1776. The rattelsnake symbol,
with its motto Don't tread on me,
also appeared on the drums of Amer
lean Marines at that time.
The Grand Union flag was popular
with naval men and it was sometimes
called the 'First Navy Ensign" There
were scores of other colonial BAN
ners, each of which found special ia
vor in the colony where it originated
Even today there is a certain myS-
tery about Old Glory. Historians fail
to agree as to who designed it, al
though tradition points to Betsy Ross
a Quaker City seamstress, as the
maker of the first Stars and Stripes
adopted by the Continental Congress
on June II, TIT.
With deep appreciation OF the
benefits we enjoy as citizens, each OF
us should display the Star-Spangled
Banner on Flag Day. and by so doing
honor the birth OF our flag. No flag
in the world is more beautiful. No
flag spreads its folds over a more
hiehly favored land than ours.

or sale OF marketing cards. accord
ling 10 the authorities.
There is no restriction on the small
farmer who grows not more thar
two acres of tobacco.
Some OF the pertinent factors gov
ernIng the present situation are 4
follows:
The 1889 supply. including stocks
in the United States is 2.l60.000,00l
pounds. which is 20 per cent above
any previous record.
The 1889 crop averaged l4.8 cent
per pound. while the previous five
year average was 229 cents pc
pound The United States crop fol
1899 waS l.l60.000,O0O pounds. whic!
WAS 81 per cent above any previOu
record.
According to estimates the cur.
rent World consumption Of United
States tlue-cured tobacco is IT'S.
100000 pounds, which is near the
previous record. The probable Unit
ed States stocks for 1910 is 1925,
100000. which is so per cent above
any previous record. The urgency
of the situation was disclosed as Tho
report Of surplus of around 400
100000 pounds of tobacco for 1895
will continue to suppress price con-
ed. This was reflected in the aver
age price last year being eight cents
per pound lower than at any time
during the past five years.
Prior to 1889 the United States en-
ported so per cent of its tobacco crop
and had the 1889 crop been exported
it would have amounted to about
100000 pounds according to the
previous five-year period, but the
best estimates only allow about 215.-
100000 pounds of the 1889 crop to be
exported to Europe.
Since England. France, Belgium
Germany. The Netherlands, Denmark
and Norway consumed three-fourthS
of the exports, and since the British
buy the best grades. nearly one half
of the money came from this source.
Thus the situation was disclosed at
4 glance.
1t was disclosed that the COmmOd-
ity Credit Corporation financed the
purchase of 175,0O0,000 pounds of
the 1889 crop.
