chapter. She has been greatly assist
ed in the assembling of funds given by
Mrs. R. L. Smith, who has been to j
many establishments as an accommo
dation tq those desiring to give, and
not primarily byway of soliciting, as
no active campaign of the kind has
been put on.
Mrs. L. D. Wall, who has assumed

garments had been given, and that
cleaning establishments of the city

GROUND IS TOO WET
FOR TOBACCO SEEDS
No General Sowing Done as Yet, But
Time for Planting Beds Is
Drawing Near
Although the present normally
would see many tobacco seedbeds be
ing set, very few have been put into
the ground this year on account of
the extremely wet season. Rains have
been almost incessant for nearly two
months, with the exception of Christ
mas week and a clear day here and
there.
The precipitation has not been
heavy all of the time, lut mists, driz
zles and cloudy weather have kept the
isun hidden most of the time for the
GO-day period.
Farmers have feared that seedbeds
sown now would germinate quickly
and then any plants sprouting thro
ugh the surface would be killed by
cold weaiher that is looked for at any
time. There has been virtually no
sever*J y cold wertfher this winter.
Scarcely more than half a dozen days
have seen mercury drops as low as
freezing. And, while this means that
there will certainly not be as much*
severe cold as the four or five months
of severe weather in 1935-36, there
is yet opportunity for temperatures
that would kill young plants. Feb
ruary is a month that is always fear
ed.
There is yet abundant time to grow
an ample supply of plants, at the
same time farmers are beginning to
wish for an opportunity to put in
their seedbeds so as to be on the safe
side.

Economic Aspects
That the use of alcoholic beverages
ihas increasing economic aspects is
evident from the nation’s increasing
drink bill. The liquor control agency
of one state (Ohio) has recently re
ported official sales of approximate
ly $45,000,000 for the year 1936, an
increase of about $12,000,000 over the
corresponding sales of 1935.
More significant still are the reports
from life insurance companies show
ing alarming increases in rejections
of applicants because of their ex
cessive use of intoxicants. Rejections
for this cause among applicants under
30 years of age in the year 1965-1936
in one large representative company
amounted to 33.7 out of every 100 re
jections, while this same figure for
1931-1932 was only 11.9 per 100 rejec
tions. Unisurability for this cause ex
ceeded that for all other causes a
mong applicants under 45 years of age
Surely this destruction of health of
our younger group of citizens is no
small or inconsiderable part of the
economic aspects of this vital social
problem! Os a similar nature are the
figures of accident insurance com
panies showing that from 60 to 75 per
cent of our serious automobile acci
dents involving personal injury or
death are traceable to excessive use
of liquor.
The Advantages of Sobriety
The advantages of sobriety are dealt
with by our Lord in his last day of
public teaching in these words: “Who
then is the faithful and wise servant,
whom his lord hath set over his house
hold, to give them their food in due
season? Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find
so doing. Verily, I say unto you, that
he will set him over all that he hath.
But if that evil servant shall say in
his heart, my lord tarrieth; and shall
begin to beat his fellow-servants, and
shall eat and drink with the drunk
en, the lod of that servant shall come
in a day when he expecteth not, and
shall cut him asunder, and appoint his
portion with the hyprocrits: there
shall be the weeping and the gnash
ing of teeth.”
The Adequate Remedy
No adequate remedy for the evil re
sults of intemperance and drunken
ness is to be hoped for by legislation,
but only ,fcy reformation. The love of
Christ must so dominate the life as
to expel the love of anything which
may defile the body, which is his tem
ple, or injure others about one in the
family or society. The Christian solves
the problem by accepting Christ when,
he says: “I am the bread of life; he
that cometh to me shall not hunger,
and he that believeth on me shall
never thirst. Work not for the food
which perisheth, but for the food
which abideth unto eternal life, which
the Son of man shall give unto you.”

Friday of Next W eek, February 5.
With only one more week to run
for this season, the Henderson tobac
co market had sold through the week
ended Friday a total of 21,017,208
pounds for a total of $5,198,955.37 at
an average of $24.80 per hundred
pounds, according to official figures
available today.
For the week the market sold 340,-
076 pounds for $69,916.41 at an aver
age of $20.55 per hundred pounds.
Averages paid this week are con
sidered to be unusually good in view
of the inferior type of leaf being of
fered for sale right at the end of the
selling season, when usually common
types of the weed are found on ware
house floors. Figures for last Monday
read like a much earlier season sale,
when 164,278 pounds brought an aver
age of $24.12. Tuesday’s sale was
better than 22 cents a pound.
