the ~?gUmated sign-up of cotton and
tobacco*^* announced In tast Week's
TIMES, and In addition named mem
bership committees. ' Many of the
Township meetings pledged themselves
to put their township over the top be
fore Christmas.
The Indications are now that Prank
lin county and North Carolina will
algn-up fully ninety per tent of bofb
the cotton and tobacco crops and that
next year will see quite a big change
In the way of handling tne crops as
well as In the prices received by the
farmers.
President Mitcblner Is In receipt of
the following; letter from pr. J. 7.
Joyner, OhairmajTof the Stat? Organ
ization Oojnmlttee, which abbws the
Importance of everybody signing up
at one?:
The month of December will see the
completion of our campaign for sign
era to the Tobacco Marketing Con
tract. During this month we expect
to add 60 million pounds to our to
tal, and more If possible.
The Burley tobaoco growers signed
up 86 per cent of all the Burley to
bacco under a similar contract, Vir
ginia as you know la way over the
top, and the latest report Indicates
that South Carolina will be over be
fore Xmas, as she la signing. at the
rate of one million ponn aw a d^y.
The Organisation Commtufea Insists
that you put North Carolina over 90
per cent strong before the first of the
year. You can do It, but U will take
hard work. It la the great'at work
that you have ever done for North
Carolloa, and therefore I am making
a personal appeal to you to make
soma, sacrifices If neceaaary during
the next three weeks, and see every,
man In your territory, give him an
opportunity to sign a contract.
We will assist ygu as much aa pos
sible through tha press, and by other

American Eeserratlon.
The reservation, presented In writ

and accepted by all the others, declar
es that the American attitude toward
Pacific mandates shall not be affected
by the treaty and that the treaty pro
vision for a four-power consultation
on questions arising over the Pacific
Islands shall not be construed as ap
plying to any problems which In in

concern.

Conference May Send Senate Fonr
Treaties.
Washington, Dec. 13.?It now ap
peara likely that there will be lour or
more treaties to send to the Senate
when the arms conference Is over,
and some of the Democratic leaders
want to see all of them before they
decide on a course of action. There
Is a growing impression that the na
val ration and the Far Eastern de
claration and perhaps also the agree
ment on naval bases In the Pacific,
will be written into formal treaties
which may be pending in the Senate
simultaneously with the four-power
pact and that relating to the mandat
ed Islands. President Harding also
hopes that some sort of an agreement
will be reached before the conference
adjourns for future meetings to talk
over international problems. It Is not
proposed to write such an agreement
Into treaty form, but It may be com
municated to the Senate aB part of the
general accomplishments of the con
ference .
Announcement by the Washington
conference of agreement on the "5-6-3"
naval ratio between Great Britain, Ja
pan and the United States.loomed to
night as probable before tne week-end.
A plenary session for the purpose Is
expected by some delegates.
J Japan haB indicated conditional
agreement to the "6-5-S" ratio. Her
acceptance was coupled, however,
with a request to substitute the new
battleship Mutsu for the old 12-lnch
gun ship Setsu In the list of ships she
would retain under the Hughes pro
posal .

The decision of the Japanese gov
