Senator Taft had explained be-

by proposing that Mr.. Bilbo b.

Senator Taft, who heads the Re

this down, because he believe thai
once Mr.. Bilbo was seated HI
could not legally be removed with
out two-thirds vote.
Some parliamentary experts con-
tend his seat could be declared va
cant by majority vote after he was
sworn in, if action were based solely
on the ground that his reelection ii

err. He manages about as well as
the next one when it comes to
getting his plant bed ready in the
early spring, then setting out the
plants, and on through making
the crop curing, ect., until his
tobacco is ready to grade and tie
UP into the hands that are to be
placed on the market.
The grading is what's tough on
Uncle Dave. You see, besides be-
ing rs per cent blind he's also
color blind. That's bad for any
body grading tobacco, because,
although one tobacco leaf might
look pretty much Of the same
color as another to the neophyte,
there are 8 great many shades OF
the leaves that have much to dc
with prices on the market. And
farmers have to be very, very
careful to match these shades
when they're grading so their to-
baccos won't be mixed. Buyers
have a stand ffish attitude to-
ward mixed tobaccos.
But, after his sales today on
the Wallace Tobacco Market,
Uncle Dave can figure he's right
near the top when it comes to
selling tobacco. It doesn't seem

difference to him. That is, il
doesn't seem to make any litter
ence to the high quality of his
tobacco.
Uncle Dave sold SOC pounds on
the Wallace Market today for
sixty-four cents per pound. For
that much tobacco that's the top
on the Wallace Market this year.
One pile brought sixty-elght
cents yesterday, but that was
small pile. Uncle Dave had two
piles of $50 pounds each that
brought sixty-four cents pei
pound today.
What is more, Uncle Dave sold
a total of 1907 pounds on the
market here today and his aver
age price for the whole caboodle
was the highest that has been
compiled on the Wallace Market
this year by any one grower.
Uncle Dawes thousand odd
pounds averaged a fraction OF q
cent more than $60.69 per hun
dred, and that's including two
piles of inferior grades, one Of
which was knocked off for thirty
cents and the other for twenty
one.
Since Uncle Dave, being a good
farmer, gets a yield of something
like 1900 pounds to the acre, he
grew his today's offerings or
about nine-tenths of an acre. His
sales brought him $667.86 so that
figures at a rate of about $742.l(

WHITEVILLE, Sept. 1.-TWO
things characterize the White
willie tobacco market-lm-
portance and growth.
The Importance of the market
is shown in the fact that it sells
more than Is per cent Of all
leaf marketed in the Border
belt. This belt includes II mar
kets, eight in North Carolina
and nine in South Carolina.
Those in North Carolina are in
Whiteville, Chadbourn, Tabor
City, Clarkton, Lumberton, Fair
mont, Fayetteville and Fair
Bluff. Instead of marketing its
numerical share, or one-seven-
teentil the border belt tobacco,
Whiteville markets more than
one-fourth.
The growth of the Whiteville
market brought three new
warehouses this season with
one of them the largest in the
Border belt.
Here are some facts that give
an indication of the size OF the
Whiteville market. It has nine
warehouses. These warehouses
and the owners are: Moore's
warehouse, Bert Moore; Plant
ers warehouse, Buck Pesy and
A. o. King; Crutchfield's ware
house, Raymond Crutchfield
and Gather Crutchfield; Farm
ers warehouse, Dial Gray, Jack
Neale, and L. r. Jackson; Tug

Tobacco company, IAggett-
Myers Tobacco company, Ex-
port Tobacco company, I'M

ginia Tobacco company and the
Whiteville Tobacco company. In
addition, there are 125 specula-
tors who pay a license Of $25 a
season.

Hdzel Scott
In Mill City
Tomorrow

1t generally takes marriage to
alter the career Of an artist, and
that was the case with Hazel Scott,
azz-classical pianist who performs
Saturday night in Minneapolis
auditorium.
Miss Scott became the wife more
than two years ago Of Rep. Adam
Clayton Powell, Jr., Of New York.
Adam Clayton Powell, III. came
along in the interval to create still
further changes in his mothers
mode of existence.
Prior to her marriage, Miss Scott
had been for more than five years
a night club star, with forays into
radio, recording and movies, but
her marriage ruled out night club
performing and launched her into
the concert field.
The tour which brings her here
is the first since her marriage. She
played an extremely successful en-
gagcment in her last appearance in
Minneapolis.
Since her marriage Miss Scott
has learned, more than anything
else, to relax. Part of her time is
spent in Washington with her hus-
band. part on their Long Island
estate, equipped with an elaborate
barbecue pit. The Powells ride, sail.
fish and entertain, and, when in
New York, are inveterate first
nighters.
Her attention to her piano stud
les, however, has not been altered.
She always takes at least one lesson
week. and her schedule calls for
full three hours of rehearsal each
day, 365 days a year. This was in
terrupted for only a few days
when the Powells' son was born.
Tickets for the Scott engage
ment are available at Adam Hats
Ticket office, 623 Hennepin avenue.
She is a presentation here Of Great
err Minneapolis Attractions.
