Isen hour Has Made Many Trips and Speeches Dur ing Past Year. Headed by H. E. Isenhour, Salis bury, as president, jhe Brotherhood of the United* Lutheran church of America has accomplished several major objectives during the past year. 1— Establishment of the Mulberry home for the aged at Mulberry, Indiana. 2— Purchase of an entire village at Konnarock, Va., and the establish ment there of the Iron Mountain Lutheran school. This is an industrial and trade school for mountain boys. The Mulberry home is supported chiefly by the brotherhoods of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. The old Weidner Institute prope/ty was taken over for this home. It is now open and in active operation. It is the only home for the aged in that section of the Lutheran church. The Iron Mountain school is now open with a small student body until the full quota of faculty can be obtained. Dr. Cal L. Miller, former Rowan county man, is superinten dent of this institution. It is modeled somewhat after the Berry school in Northern Georgia. The Lutheran brotherhood has taken over practically an entire vil lage at Konnarock, Va. It includes a farm of about 400 acres, hotel, store buildings, residences, post office and? 17 buildings. The Milwaukee conven tion of 1930 gave the brotherhood executive committee power to act, and the taking over the village for a school resulted. The brotherhood has a fourfold program of evangelism: 1— Win the outside man. 2— Secure the return of the lapsed member. 3— Secure an increased attendance of men upon the services of the church. 4— Help hold the young people in the church.

Sends Mail Posted Forty Years Ago Macon, Ga.—-The Macon postoffice is just getting around to the distribu tion of some mail that was posted 40 years ago. Assistant Postmaster C. B. McEl roy the other day saw the corner of a card sticking from behind a distri bution case that had not been remov ed from its place since the War Be tween the States. He investigated to find a score of letters and cards dated as far back as 1889. They had slipped into a hid den aperture. The mail has been dispatched to the original destination with an ex planation of the delay but the assist ant postmaster said he had received responses that many of the address ors and addressees have been dead for years. — Always Read The Watchman! CROP VALUES IN UNITED STATES DROPPED ABOUT 50 PER CENT IN TWO YEARS, GOVERNMENT REPORTS I __ Crop values in the United States dropped about one-half in value in 1931 over the prices received in 1929 according to figures released by the United States Department of Agricul ture in Washington. The estimated value of. crops in 1931 is $4,122,8 50,000 as compared with $5,818,820,000 in 1930 and $8,088,494,000 in 1929. Every section of the country felt the decline with the Dakotas, hit by drought, feeling it especially hard. All crops were affected. Prices are about 36 per cent below 1930, while pro duction is 10 per cent greater. Compared with two years ago, corn decreased in value $1,043,000,000; cotton and cotton seed, $8 54,000,000 000; wheat, $446,000,000; hay, $386,000,000; potatoes, 263,000,000; oats, $220,000,000, and tobacco $ 130, 000,0000. Exclusive of fruits, the acreage harvested in 1931 was 3 50,672,000, a reduction of 9,25 5,000 acres from the previous year. The acreage origin ally planted was for greater than in 1930, but drought and crop failures in California and five northern Great Plains states cut it by more t*han 13.000. 000 acres. Yields averaged, however, 11 per cent higher than the low yields of 1930—the great drought year. Due to the fall in cotton prices California, growing crops valued at $316,076,000 supplanted Texas'as the leading state in farm value this year. The value of Texas crops was $297, 281.000. Iowa, with crops valued at $224, 480.000 continued in third place. The 1931 production and value of nncinal crops compared with 1930 figures were given as: Corn 2,556,863,000 bushels, $920, 142.000 against 2,060,185,000 bush els, $1,349,218,000. All wheat, 892,271,000 bushels, $161,264,000, against 333,210,000 bushels, $296,505,000. Potatoes, 376,248,000 bushels, $161,264,000 against 333,210,000 bushels, $296,505,000. FARMER TRAINS PIGS MUCH TO HIS SORROW Warning the American Legion not to get hysterical about balancing the government budgets, Silas Strawn, president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, told this story: A farmer trained his pigs to home for food when he banged his shovel on a fence. A visitor later found the pigs run ning frantically from tree to tree. The farmer said: "I trained them that way, and now the woodpeckers are running them to death.” AND CREAM A farmer was passing the insane asylum with a load of fertilizer An in mate called through the fence, “What are you hauling?” "Fertilizer,” replied the farmer. "What are you going to do with it?” "Put it on my strawberries,” report ed the farmer. The inmate countered quickly: "You ought to live here. We get cream on ours.” Tobacco, 1,6^0,098,00 pounds, $156,097,000 against 1,635,210,000 pounds $211,102,000. Cotton, 16,918,000 bales, $485, 611,000 against 13,932,000 bales, $659,455,000. % ere’s whu they’re FRESH! CAMELS are never parched or toasted ThERE is of course a sound reason why the Camel Humidor Pack can deliver to Camel smokers a ciga rette that is genuinely fresh. flflinpls are made fresh to start with, fresh with natural moisture — blended of the choicest, delicately mild, full-mellow, sun-ripened tobaccos that money can buy. The full natural goodness of these fine tobaccos is safeguarded at every step in their handling—they are never parched or toasted—the Reynolds method of scientifically applying heat guarantees against that. That’s why we .can say with every assurance that Camels are truly fresh. They’re made fresh — not parched or toasted — and then they’re kept fresh in the Camel Humidor Pack. The delights of a genuinely fresh cigarette are so rare and desirable that Camel popularity continues to mount daily to new highs. Test these delights for yourself—see what true freshness means in cool, slow-burning, delicate mild ness-switch to Camels for just one day, then leave them—if you can. R. j.
