Hunter o! | Hogarth Exhibition Opens Tomorrow The Key West Community Art Center announces a rare ex- hibition of the notable engravings ‘of William Hogarth, circuited by |the Federal Art Project of the + WPA, to be shown from March 7, tomorrow, to March 19. William Hogarth, probably the greatest English artist of the eighteenth century, discovered the vital points of weakness in | the social life of his day and pre- ;sented them with a talent which has been seldom equalled. No time in history was the exposure of social evil more needed, and |no artist ever used his wonder- ful power of ridicule and sar- casm to a better advantage than | |did Hogarth. Such great series of engravings as “The Rake’s Progress”, “Marriage a la Mode”,| and “The Harlot’s Progress” brought to the people a powerful sermon on the need for social re- \form, it is said. ; The Art Center is delighted to} oe able to present this exhibition from the collection of John F. Lewis, of Philadelphia. i Pageant Rehearsal | Set For Tonight | | | Rehearsal for the Key West | Historical Pageant will be held |tonight in the Division Street | School at 7:30, in preparation for a repeat presentation of the | pageant which will take place |Friday night, March 10th.

The money you save is the . : THE TOBACCO TRAIL DEPICTING THE: DIFFERENT METHODS IN PRODUCTION Once again the chant of the tobacco auctioneer 1s heard through the South as he sidles his way down narrow aisles? the tobacco warehouses betw heaping piles of the fraggin low weed. Popularized familiar by the adveff and radio breadcasts of arette manufacturers, his song is one that can be interpre} only by a practiced ear. pe The Tobacco Trail, néw desig- nated officially as U. S. 301, so- called because it traces the orig- inal old trails which were beaten through the wilderness by hogs- heads of tobacco rolling to mar- ket behind teams of mules, today carries the southbound traveler through the heart of the bright leaf tobacco districts of Virginia and the Carolinas. Auction Sales One is always welcome at the auction s: which climax the farmer’s six-month fight against plant disease, the elements and the countless errors in curing; which may creep in after h crop is -harvested. For, unli cotton, citrus fruit and the oth cash (crops, the farmer’s job’ only half complete when thé great, flat; yellowing leaves are stripped from the plant brought to his barn. Before sorting and grading, the leaf must then be twisted which are taken to a rough log barn resembling a huge oven. Here they hang on sticks in the heat of an enclosed wood-fire whose tin chimney runs through | and warms its entire length. To | produce a grade suitable for use| p, |in the best quality cigarettes and| through pipe tobaccos, as great care must be taken in this curing process as in baking a light and fluffy cake. A moment’s inattention, a sharp rise or fall in the temper: the barn and the value of the a dollar a pound to little or noth- ing. In Protection As one rides up the “Tobacco @e a 1) wé PAYS {the and; |Harvesting Of Crop And Its Many Treatments Trail” after dusk, or goes for a spin in the country after taking quarters for the mght in one of Modern hotels to be found in sof the market towns, little "points of frame . attest the Ge} vigilance of farmers who must Stay up all night tending the fires to protect their crop in this, the last and most important step be- fore it goes under the hammer of the auctioneer. Indeed, since the market season lasts from August until Thanksgiving, or later, the interested motorist may in a day see nearly every step in the pre- paration of the crop, from the bringing in and tying of the un- cured leaf, on up through its sale and removal in hogsheads to one of the great storage sheds where it will cure for another two years before the manufacturing process is begun. As a climax to this tour of tobacco-land, a visit plants located at Richmond, Va., and Petersburg, Va. (which op- erate throughout the year), ings a fitting finale te,a jaunt er the famous Tobaceo Trail. Northbound motorists interest- teresting route would begin the journey at Jacksonville, Fla., by taking U. S. No, 17. At Walter- | boro, S. C., the number changes to U. S. No. 15, while at Fayette- | again to U. S. No. 301.. This num- !ber is maintained to Petersburg, |Ga. where the number from | there north is U, S.

The busy city of Jackson- | ature of ville is known as the gateway to} Sunny Florida, while Savannah, | farmer’s crop drops from perhaps Ga., boasts its beautiful parks. | Entering the State of South Caro- lina are found, in the order nam- ‘ed, the leading auction tobacco markets where tobacco (from 4 through passengers Ar.

These tobacco towns include Dillon, Florence, Lumberton, Smithfield, Wilson and Rocky Mount. Wil- son, the world’s largest bright leaf tobacco market, also boasts oak-bordered Nash Street, ac- claimed by cosmopolitan visitors as one of the most beautiful resi- dential streets in any country. Benson and Dunn are two of the great cotton markets of the country. Thousands of balts of |cotton may be seen here stacked in the cotton yards awaiting Sale and delivery. In the center of Fayetteville stands the old mar- ket house where slaves were |bought and sold in ante-bellum {days. Nearby is Fort Bragg, largest artillery post in the | world and open to visitors at all | times. | Route Followed At Halifax still stands the old- jest Masonic Lodge in the Qnited States. On leaving this romantic area, the route leads through Richmond, Baltimore, Philadel- phia, New York, and the over- magnificent nation’s _ capital, Washington. Historic Williamsburg, recon- structed through the generosity lof the Rockefeller family and now with Jamestown and York- town a great national monument of surpassing colonial interest to- | day, may be seen on a short side ‘trip. Motorists have a choice of jtaking State Route No. 40 at Stony Creek, Va., or U. S. No. 60 at Richmond for a trip to this colonial section which is one hour’s ride from this main route.
