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;

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

LOCAL MAN MENTIONED
FOR CO. SUPERINTENDENT
The following appeared in a re-
cent issue of the Lancaster News
Journal.
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.

alleges was driving recklessly, came
along in an automible and struck
him, knocking him down.

result of the experience.
