FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2*. »M J_ :'_;_ ^ "r-'"?■ ' ' NUMBER TWENTY in mm • • * * I •-< *' QfTT T • * • OJCdLdL • • • IN FARMVILLE : ****** Sales'on local tobacco warehouse floors were resumed Wednesday mor ning, following a five-day holiday which was voted into effect when redrying and processing plants became too congested and prices appeared to be getting weaker. Prices on the re-opening were good and Sales Supervisor Fred Moore stated that those who patronize the local market appeared to be well pleased with sales made here. Farmville warehousemen have the reputation of being among the best in the whole flue-cured area and, like many other observers, Supervisor Moore believes that they come nearer pleasing all their customers than any other set of warehousemen any where. Some people can’t be pleased anywhere or anytime, but Mr. Moore is of the opinion that Farmville’f share of this class is small indeed. Sales on the Farmville market have passed the 15 ^ million pound mark. It is estimated that 60 per cent of the crop in this section has been sold. The market is maintaining an aver age of 56 cents, which means that more money will be paid out this year than ever before in the history of the market. JJke all other markets in the area, Farmville is selling only four and a half hours a day. The schedule was shortened to prevent congestion.

Rotary now has approximately 342,000 members in 83 countries of the world and if each member were properly informed and lived up to the motto of Rotary in its fullest mean ing, even a much greater record of service could be boasted than now al ready exists.
