"V BERGDOLL WOMAN STICKS Refuses to Leave Draft Dodger's Property. Philadelphia, Nov. 7.?Mrs. Emma i Bergdoll, who has been ordered to vacate "Bergdoll Castle," which the government maintains is owned by her son, Grover C. Bergdoll, draft evader *-*J^^ar.d fugitive from justice, has sent the ' government a bill at the rate of ?10,000 a year for her sen-ices as care- i taker of the dwelling. Col. Thomas W. Miller, alien prop*>! +* tndav said that when i Mrs. Bergdoll had been directed to i vacate on October 31 it was because < he had maintained it was an effort for her to administer the property, i She admitted the property belonged to i Grover, Col. Miller said, and made a charge of $10,000 a year for administering it. "My agents in Philadelphia informed me that Mrs. Bergdoll did not va- ' cate on October 31 and that she claim- i ed her reason for not doing so was on , account of a certain illiness she had contracted," he said. "My information today is that she was seen yesterday in an automobile ** and now we are informed that she is ?* " Kiii fViot Kor ncr<v1 mother.. livv iu ov an i/uv mu?v uv* v0 ? ?, who was doing the family laundry in the cellar of the Wynnefield property last week, is the one who is ill." The statement asserts that Mrs. Bergdoll's conduct is a "palpable effort to evade the law," inasmuch as she has other properties fully furnished, and it would mean no hardship for her to move into one of her other houses. Department of Justice agents will be sent to ascertain the condition of Mrs. Bergdoll and her mother, Col. Miller declared, and if a medical certificate is not produced, "physical possession" of the property will be taken. * O Co-operative Marketing. The unorganized tobacco farmers of South Carolina sold their crop at an average of cents a pound, in July, while the organized farmers of Virginia where 60 per cent of the growers have joined the Marketing Association arc now averaging from 20 to 25 cents on tbeir markets. Whether thousands of tobacco growers in South Carolina begin an era of prosperity within the next, two years,, or sink again into a debt ridden bondage to the present system of markets which is now safe for buyers, dealers and speculators, but perilous or ruinous for growers depends upon whether the growers of South Carolina sign the marketing contract which 40,000 North Carolinians, Kentuckians and Virginians have signed. The men who sign the marketing agreement will either stand among those who control the world's best tobacco belt?or because those who hesitate have lost the chance of better days for all?among those who must again face the evils of the present speculative system. No individual signer of the contract of the Growers' Marketing Association will be sacrificed by the ignorance or cowardice of those who fail to sign, because no contract will be binding until a half of all the growers, or a half of all the tobacco of Virginia J ana the Carolinas have been signed over to the growers' association. All profits from tobacco sales will be divided among the Association in proportion to the quantity and quality ! of their tobacco. Present warehouses and warehousemen will be used whenever possible, but expert graders to , fix fair values fcr all tobacco sold ! 111111 * i > i? n i ll 111111 ll 11 ,i: A Car 1 i "Pittsburg P( '' Just Rf I ? :: You will find i for your every pur| :: garden fencing, f :: and prepare for s v crop rotation. Su now while the lot i i h 111 n 11 m i n i h i n n nim'i by farmers will take the place of the buyers and speculators who thrive under the present system cf price fluctuations. Only tobacco growers can be members of the Associations, and each member will be paid the same price for the same grade/and type of tobacco as every other member. The signer who pays $3.00 entrance fee and sells a hundred pounds of tobacco has the same vote as the grower who sells a hundred thousand pounds?no less, no more. The contract, known as the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Agreement is the purest and most successful form of democracy known in America. If tobacco farmers refuse now to sign their Declaration of Independence, which has changed poverty to prosperity for the farmers cf the West, they will let the men who now take the profits from the growers set the standard of living for the women and the children of our country districts in South Carolina.
