MORE ORDERLY
TOBACCO SALES
Big Companies Agree To Stabi
lize Prices On the Several
Grades of Tobacco.
Danville, Ya., Aug. 10. —Th->
Tobaco Association of the
Cnit'-d States has reached an
agreement, it was learned this
evening, with the large tobac
co buying corporations in this
country whereby tobacco prices
during the coming season will
be stabilized, thus eliminating
those fluctations which have
for years been the source of
complaint from the tobacco
planters.
Under the terms of the
agreement the big companies
are willing to maintain the
, prices for the grades they han
dle from the beginning to the
end of the selling season, this
. having the effect of assuring
the grower of a reasonable re
i turn and obviating "glut" peri
ods seen when tobacco, on
, reachiryj a peak price, brings
. the growers to the market cen
i ters by the hundred, overtax
i ing the marketing facilities.
, This invariably results in a
. sudden slump because of the
I inability to rehandle the leaf
. before it has suffered some de
) terioration.
i John L. Tucker, president of
. the Danville Warehouse cor
• poration, this evening admitt
ed that the agreement has been
- reached and issued a statement
- urging farmers to realize that
i it will be to their interest not
1 to rush their leaf to market.
- The principle, if carried out
successfully, will mean, it is
said, the establishment of "or
derly marketing" and very
? probably an extension of the
selling period instead of crowd
ing it into a few months,
j. The price stabilization plan
f : s expected to do away with the
reclamation of tobacco. Farm
ers often add to the costs ot
marketing by refusing to ac
cept the pike bid on the auc
tion floors and taking the to
~ baoco to another warehouse in
the hope of getting a bettei
price. The agreement is view
, ed by the tobacco trade her>
j as or.e of the most important
contributions of recent yean
toward placat|ng difference*
between the growlers and to
bacio buyers.

Pride in Ownership
7
' Not so many years ago there
e was keen competition between
a number of motor car compan
ies to see who could build the
best automobile one that
tS would stand up for years under
] hard usage.
r Of late years the fad has
t- been to change models semi
it annually and build cheaper and
„ cheaper on a mass production
basis.
,1 Most automobiles today are
i- good for a reasonable amount
of use but few of them are built
() with the idea of pride in work
„ manship which causes an own
■i. er to prize his car as he used
to prize some of the old famil
, t | iar makes.
y It is only fair to say, how
ever, that the majority (rf cars
j s are probably built safer today
| e with all-steel bodies and four
l.s wheel brakes, than they wei>
)f in the days of wooden bod;»
)r construction and smaller brak
ing surface. Traffic condition,
jhave made this necessary as SJ
I of self-preservation.

Who Aids the Criminal?
"All honest as well as dis
honest men know that the ma
chinery of law enforcement is
defective and out off date."
says the Saturday Evening
Post in an editorial on crime.
Here is a problem not in rvoli
tics or academic theory or dia
lectics. but in practical organ
ization, which is supp-isad trr
be just tile field in which t4ie
typical American citizen is
best.
"It s the job and the condi
tions which surround the job
that need attention. If as a
people we are incapable of im
proving the judicial and jury
systems, of doing away wiMi
frivolous appeals, lessening the
grant of continuances, expedit
ing trials, simplifying indict
ments, and making the other
necessary improvments in the
; actual technic of the job, theu
. we have lost the art of self
government.
