The Eastern Outlook.


The Eastern Outlook.
Lancaster Nac Era: The unfavor-
able weather has not yet come to n
close. We had several warm sun
shiny days, and our tobacco growers
we're led to hope the time of their de-
liverance was at hand; but clouds and
rains and cold weather are once more
upon us, retarding work on the coming
crop and causing general unoasiness.
While the pleasant weather lasted the
farmers set to work in good earnest,
and considerable number of plants
were set out. The cool, cloudy, wealth
er will obvate the necessity of shading
or watering the newly set out plants,
which is an advantage, but it will pre-
vent them fr IN making any growth,
and oftentimes, when stunted in this
way, they persistently refuse to grow
for a considerable Tina when better
weather comes along.
AT this time last year nearly the en-
tire crop was set out; 30 far during the
present season we doubt whether one
fourth the usual acreage has been
planted In fact, farmers complain
much to the backwardness Of their
plants. Many are not yet fit to put
out, even if they were otherwise ready.
We understand that farmer at or
near Bird-in- Hand has grown vast
number Of plants snder glass, and is
finding ready sale for them at 15C
per thousand to farmers who are ready
to plant, but whose own plants are no
yet large enough.
Additional reports of the damage
done by earth worms continue to reach
US. Unleached wood ashes ar. un
foubtedly the most efficacious, speedi-
est and safest remedy for these pests
The flea beetles have not yet appeared
to any damaging extent, 80 far ~ w
can learn. For the present, at least
We conclude these enemies of the to-
bacco plants will do no great harm.
In the tobacco districts of New York
and New England the same drawbacks
prevail that have been experienced
here. The journals from those statet
the situation rs being very unsatisfac
tory, and grave approximations Of the
lcouitS III q tDttI tdllltu. vi COIIse, tDt
higher the latitude the greater the dan
ger, but there need be no doubt thai
Notwithstanding all our drawbacks sc
far, If we have favorable season dur
ing the next three months, we will yel
give good account of ourselves iii this
state.
There is still fair amount of last
years goods selling. Most farmers are
unwilling to carry one years crop into
the next season, and are therefore
ready to avail themselves Of the only
remedy-to accept such prices as they
can get. On the whole this is perhaps
their best plan. A few lots are sold at
20 cents nd over for wrappers, but in
majority of cases the prices range
from II to 20 cents for wrappers, 4 to 6
cents for seconds, and cents for filters.
These, while considerably lower than
earlier in the season, are after all not
bad prices.

MAIDEN Rock MINUTES. :

MAIDEN Rock Minutes
Haying is finished.
Corn is doing well.
Raspberry harvest.
The stone store is being plastered
this week.
Fishing is more inviting of late than
heretofore this summer.
A niece of Mrs. Kaye, from Red
Wing, is spending a few days with
her.
A party of our young folks enjoyed a
holiday last week, at Maiden Rock
Point
Miss Julia Akers has been called
home in consequence of her fathers
illness.
Mr.. Murray, captain of the steamer
Pepin, died at his home in Pepin, on
Thursday of last week.
Quite a delegation to the circus
from Maiden Rock was sent. and re-
turned a verdict of third-rate affair.
At the Republican town caucus held
last Saturday, w. w. Walsingham and
O. E. Rice were elected delegates to
the county convention.
Our mail carrier team got its shack
up" and backed the buggy down the
bank, breaking the pole and upsetting
the vehicle. All efforts to reverse the
steam was futile, it seems.
On Saturday last, Thomas O'Brien,
in company with Archie McCleary,
started with the mail for Frontenac
in small sailing craft. They went
over safely but on their return trip at
O'Clock P. NJ, when about half way
across the lake the boat encountered a
squall and capsized. The young men
and mail were thrown into the water.
One of the men being unable to swim
it was impossible to right the boat
again. At about o'clock search was
begun for the party when they were
picked up near Wacouta, nearly ex-
hausted and chilled, and brought
home at 10 o'clock at night, The men
were in the water clinging to the boat
for nearly five hours. The mail sack
was kept for two hours when they be-
gan to despair of ever being rescued
and let it go to the bottom, with all it's
contents. 1t is considered useless to
search for the sack. 1t is not at all
likely that had the party to whom the
contract was let to carry the mail went
instead of those who did go, this acct
dent would have happened, as he is an
expert with sailboat and handles his
boat well in all kinds of weather.
We believe in the MAIL CARRIER carry
ing the mail hereafter.

The following, clipped from the st.
Paul Pioneer-Press, will not fail to in
terest young men:
The Single Mems Endowment asso-
citation of Minneapolis is not like 9TH
er associations in other States who
take members at all ages and on any
condition. The Single Mems of Min
neapolis is for boys only, after the
graduated tables are filed, from six to
sixteen years old. Older ages are
taken on graduated tables more to adj
vertise the plan in less time, than for
anything else as endowments on the
young ages will not mature and be-
come due in from six to fifteen years.
Statistics from the year 1914 say mu-
tual relief societies prosper well in
France, and are large in number.
Their present number is no fewer than
6,525, of which 1916 are authorized
by the government, and 4.l65, have
been otherwise approved. The Single
Mems Endowment association of Min
neapolis has complied with the laws
of the State of Minnesota, and is man
aged by thoroughly competent and re-
liable men and do a perfectly legiti-
mate business, and is worthy of all
confidence. 7-tf
