One hour before the regular service begins Mr. and Mrs. Johnson meet with the young fclks in the Sunday school auditor ium. There the crowd is entertain ed with songs, mimics, contests, and a very interesting talk by Mr. John son. In the afternoon there is a similar program for the youngsters which must be very entertaining, judging from the eagerness of the children to get to the church every j afternoon just as soon as school is dismissed. ?

Distributors of Arcadian, the Amer ican Nl*rate of Soda, Open Branch at Raleigh. To meet the Increasing demand for the American Nitrate of Soda, jthe Barrett company has opened a sales office in the North Carolina Bank building, Raleigh, N. C. This office will be under the supervision of Mr. W. M. Perry, district sales manager. Arcadian, the American Nitrate of Soda, is made by the Atmospheric Nitrogen corporation at Hopewell, Va. its manufacture adds to the in come and buying power of Amer ican workers in the south.

Resume Negotiations In Face Of Government Threat To License Them PREPARED TO INVOKE LICENSING MACHINERY Washington, Oct. 3. ? A virtual de cision to license domestic buyers of flue-cured tobaccos was withheld' today by the Farm Adjustment Ad ministration after representatives of the concerns reopened negotia tions with farm officials. S. Clay Williams, president of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company, "'and H. H. Kahn, attorney for the Amer ican Tobacco company, conferred with J. B. Hutson, head of the ad ministration's tobacco section, most of the day. The discussons contin ued tonight, with George N. Peck, administrator of the farm act, par ticipating. The Farm Adjustment Adminis tration had almost concluded ar rangements to use its licensing pow ers to force the domestic buyers to nav "parity" prices for flue-cured tobaccos when the tobacco company officials indicated they might make concessions. Ready to Act. If the companies had been li censed, the Farm Administration was ready to spend up to $25,000,000 to buy flue-cured tobacco in case it was necessary for higher prices to the growers. In the voluntary marketing agree ment proposed by the larger domes tic concerns, they would have paid around 17 cents a pound for flue cured, approximately the parity price The concerns also would have agreed to buy up to next March 31 the I amount of tobacco they consumed in the fiscal year ending last June 30. The $25,000,000 would have been used if the tboacco companies had refused to buy, of if the other devel- ) opments had prevented the taking of the leaf off the market. The Farm Administration took the position that the concerns eventually would buy the tobacco, as a production control program for flue-cured has been agreed to by most of the grow Not Acceptable. Farm Administration officials em phasised today that there was no intention of accepting the clauses in the voluntary marketing agree ment which would bind the govern ment to keep hands off. Officials took the position that they would be virtually powerless to see that the growers got higher prices for his tobacco if they accepted these terms. It was understood that the com promise both sides are attempting to reach would provide for govern ment inspection of tobacco com pany records. Williams and Kahn ' were said to have informed officials j that their position on this? one of the principal points at issue? had been modified. o U. D. C.
