Second Dividend
For Leaf Farmers
—«■—
Farmers who sold flue-cured
tobacco under the government
price support program in 1948 and
1949 wil share in a 5 1-2 to six
million dollar proiu on the crops.
I. T Weejfcs,

! the distribution will be made in
I January.

; tion made since the cooperative
was formed in 1946 to purchase
i tobacco under the price support
program. The first was in Jan
uary, 1951, when about four mil
lion dollars was sent to 285,000
growers as net gains on the 1947
crop.
Using Commodity Credit Cor
poration funds, the Stabilization
Corporation puchases tobacco at
price support levels. The tobacco
! is stored and later resold at a pro
fit. The net gains—the amount
left after all expenses, including
repaying government loans with
interest—are distributed to far
mers who sold tobacco to the cor
poration for that crop year.
In the scheduled January dis
tribution, approximately 190.000
growers will share in about two
million dollars from the 1948
crop, and approximately 225,000
will divide about four to 4 1-2
million from the 1949 crop. Some
growers of course, will get re
funds from both years, while oth
ers will share in only one.

Dutch Observing
Seige Of Leyden
—♦—
One of the greatest stories of
heroism was written at Leyden,
Holland, in 1573-74. October 2 is
an anniversary sacred to all Hol
landers—calling on help from the
se!e -move the Spamaids novo
Leyden.
Leyden is one of the most beau
tiful cities of the Netherlands.
Tlii' Spanish began their seige of
the cify in October, of 1373. The
resistance of the inhabitants was
spurred by the tyranny of, the
Spanish, which had become well
known all over Europe. These in
habitants held out until their food
was practically .exhausted and
then, on August 3, 1574, dikes
were broken down in lti places
and the gates at Schiedam and
Rotterdam were opened.
The sea came through and flow
ed over the land. Although the
Spanish commander became
alarmed, his advisers told him hi
had nothing to fear. But the wa
ters continued to rise and, on Sep
tember 1, a few shallow-draft
vessels and 800 Netherlands sail
| ors began to sail toward the be
sieged city.
Finally, with favorable winds,
the small fleet reached Leyden
driving away the Spaniards. On
the very next day, a furious
northeast wind rolled the ocean
■ back to its hod and the dikes wen
repaired before the wind chang
' ed.
As a reward for its gallant

Did Much Carving:
In the Olden Days
Di .Samuel N Cramer, curator
of the Tablet Collection of the
University of Pennsylvania mu
scum, recently discovered that the
1 n-rdton law* t 1
back to 2500 B. C.—which is at
le~-t a century earlier than here
tofore believed. Dr. Cramer made
his discovery by translating a clay
tablet found in btr.nbu!
Dr. Cramers discovery is trie
fourth time since the turn of the ;
century that scholars have turn
j ed back the beginning of the his
tory of written law. The interest
1 ing part of the discovery is that
i it establishes the fact there were
written laws 1.700 years before
the time of Christ, violators of
wheih were fined certain fixed
sums of money.
The translation of three of the
laws showed these fines:
1. "If a man with ... an instru
ment his foot has cut off, ten sil
ver shekels, he shall pay."
2. "If a man to a man with a
weapon his bones of . severed,
one silver mina (00 shekels), he
shall pay."
2. "If a man to a man with a
geshpu instrument the nose has
cut off, two-thirds of a silver

October 2 is still celebrated by
Hollanders, and by many Duteh
Americans in the United States,
many of whom are deseendents of
l the Dutch who defended the city

tnina, he shall pay.’’
Laws have greatly advanced'
since that, day and tend to bring
punishment in line with the na
ture of the crime. No longer does
it cost only ten shekels if one cuts
oft a foot. Nor is the severing of
anothers nose taken quite so light
ly. And, judging from the number
of laws dealing with amputation,
it that the Siiinrnant^hii
lived in what is now
Iraq, had a bit ot trouble with
knife wielding, and that eivilua
tion s advancing despite what
some people say
About one-third of a million
farmers in 800 counties are cover

‘The instant your beautiful Cadillac points
its golden crest into view, it begins to say
r wonderful things about you.
It says, almost as plainly as if the words
were written out, that you are a person of
achievement in your own world of affairs.
It talks of your good judgment and your
splendid taste—and indicates your sense of
responsibility for those who ride with you
. as passengers, or drive beside you in the
' traffic lanes.
It speaks of your family and your home
and your friends and your way of life—
and, in general, paves the way for the
respect of those you encounter as you sit
at tits wheel.
This is true because those who own
Cadillacs form a virtual “Who’s Who” of
America’s highways. In almost every com
munity m the country, Cadillac is the
favored car of the leading people.
The reason for this, ot course, is found
in the history of the car itself.
For fifty years, it has been the unwaver
ing purpose to make Cadillac as fine a car
as it is practical to produce. Goodness Inis
always been the watchword—craftsman,
ship has always been the creed.
As a result, Cadillac has long been known
and accepted as “The Standard of the
Wni Id.” \nd, inev itably, people who want
and seek the finest have turned to Cadillac.
That’s why the man who sits at the
wheel of a Cadillac is an accepted and
respected mtmhcrof the most distinguished
motoring family to be found anywhere.
It you are ready for membership in this
incomparable group, better come in and
see us soon. 1 low about making it today?
