VOLUME XXI NO. 30 A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO 'EVERYBO TOBACCO GROWERS MET YESTERDAY MOUNT JOY HAS ONLY BON- DED TOBACCO WAREHOUSE IN THE STATE OF PENN. SYLVANIA. Co-operation was the impulse which yesterday afternoon brought more than two hundred farmers and tobacco growers of Lancaster county to the hall here. Co-operation was the thought which prevaded the meeting during ore than two hours of speech making and questioning on the part of the audience. Co-operation s the topic upon which representatyes of the United States bureau of markets, the Penns- ylvania bureau of markets, the bank- ing interests and tke local farm bur- eau addressed the tobacco men. A Co-operative body, in the opin- ion of P. R. Taylor, chief of the Pennsylvania buresu of markets, must hava three honest reasons for its existence. They are: (1), a definite job to perform for the community in which they exist; (2), available capital to finance the crop and the business which they undertake to handle; and (3)‘ loyalty and re- lation of the members to the co- operative management. The Mount Joy Farm Bureau company under whose direction the co-operative meeting was held, seemed to have these three funda- mentals for doing a geal job for the farmers in shonf they claim to be interested. Franklin B. Wilkenson, of the United States bureau of markets, explained the significance of a Federal bonded warehouse and re- marked that the one at Mount Joy is the only one of its kind in the state of Pennsylvania. The federal license is significant of the fact that a bond has been filed for the protection of any one dealing at that warehouse. The grower can collect from the bond- ing company for any damages re- sulting to the crop while it is in storage. “A receipt from a bonded ware- house’, said Mr. Wilkinson,” shows four things.’, These foll ; g) that the prody is insured 'wned en- depositor; and (4) ed e certi- de. op favored revents possible ades in larger lots. He thought, Iso, that the buyer will come to the warehouse which nas been handling the crop in a sat- isfactory manner rather than going here and there over the county where the tobacco is handled in a manner less efficient and less satisfactory. ~The Mount Joy Farm Products company was presented as a com- pany which is co-operative and work- ing under the United States ware- house act. Three Classes of Farmers P. R. Ri. Taylor. chief of the Penn- sylvania Bureau, divided farmers in- to three classes. They are: — (1) Those which are satisfied with the prices they are getting for the products and the conditions govern ing the markets. (2) Those who are not satisfied with the conditions and the prices but who prefer to blame some other person than themselves for both the prices and the conditions of the mar- ket. (3) Those who believe that they should do at least half of the job. Mr. Taylor assumed that the aud- ience was composed of persons who belong to the last named class. In order to bring higher prices and do a satisfactory business, the speak- er “argued ‘that the tobacco grower must have a product that is guaran- teed and that he must have a defin- ite article for sale. “Tt all comes back to getting a de- finite grade to place upon the mar- ket and that is what this company aims to do,” said Mr. Taylor. Explains The Plan John G. Reist, president of the company, explained the plan which will advance money to tobacco grow- ers on their 1921 crop. Elmer W. Strickler, of Mount Joy, also spoke on the plan. Briefly, the plan is as follows: The grow» brings his tobacco to the warehouse in Mount Joy and receiv- es a certain sum of money which is agreed upon mutually. In return the grower gives his note for the amount of the money plus two cents ner.pound for bulking sweating and hacking the crop. This note is taken to the bank by (Continued on page 4) ere etl Een N “Poss” Miller’s Team Coming.

A lively battle looms for the office of superintendent of the public schools of Lancaster county at the election next May. Six applicants are understood to be preparing for the campaign. Daniel Fleisher, the president in- cumbment, is said to be aiming to succeed himself in office. Friends of the other possibilities insist that this was to be the last term for Superin- tendent T'leisher but that they now understand he will run again. H. 0. Ober, former president of Elizabethtown college. but now a graduate student at Columbia uni- versity, is being advanced for the position. His name will be formally placed in the field in the near future. In certain sections of the county, Prof. Ober is very strong. He will undoubtedly have a large following among several religious sects, being an ordained minster of the Brethren church. His lecture work hgs given him a wide acquaintance. Arthur Mylin, principal of the Mt. Joy schools, is regarded favoriably in a number of townships. He is a graduate of Franklin and Marshall college and has been teaching sinee 1912. U. E. Aumiller, Daniel Geist and G. Read Alexander, the assistant county superintendents, are all said to be casting a willing eye toward the chief job in their department. Alex- ander, it is understood, would be the strongest candidate of the three. The name of John Simons, the of the Agriculture Trust and Saving Company, has been mentioned. Friends of the attorney insist that meeting of school directors if he caree for the job. A MOUNT JOY FIRM been ®eceived the at Recorder’s The capital stock is $5000.
