y transfere o. property was made
yesterday which involves the cigar iac-
tory and stock of Joseph Anderson, of
this city. The purchase was made Oy
Messrs. Henry Stein and i. T. Frank
lin, of this city, who propose to immed-
lately re-organize the business of the
factory and largely increast lis pro-
duct.
This deal has been under c0ns!dera
tioD by the parties interested for some
time, and eliminated yesterday i'll the
sale as above stated. Mr.. Anderson
will continue his connections with the
factory in the capacity of foreman and
general manager. Fifteen cigar max
ers will be employed, statesmen will be
put on the road and he concern Will
soon be made to assume the aspect of
metropolitan plant. We understand
that there never have previously been
employed in one cigar factory in this
city at one time more than seven cigar
makers, and we beiiev, that the en-
plOyeeS to be placed IN this factory at
once will exceed the total number of
employees ever given work at one time
In the manufacture of cigars in this
city. This is progressive move on the
part of MeSSrS. Stein and Franklin, and
should have encouragement from all
our citizens whose local pride prompts
them to further develop this city as an
industrial and commercial center. The
location for factory of this kind is
frst-claSS.
Plymouth has already established a
considerable reputation on the product
of her cigar factories. She is now turn
ing out as fine five cent cigars as can be
bought any where in the United State S
The general tendency with our cigar
manufacturers SO far seems to have
been to excel in the quality of their
product, and we believe that the new
factory will take pride in turning out
such a quality of goods as to fully
maintain our reputation on all previous
ly manufactured cigars. Messrs. Frank
lin and Stein are gentlemen of excellent
business ability, who, from their already
established business connections are in
an excellent position to make a great
success of this business. Mr.. Anderson
in company with Mr.. Stein, will go to
Chicago Monday for the purpose of lay
ing in a large supply of tobacco and
active work will be begun under the
new management some time next week
AS we understand it it is not proposed
to stop with fifteen employees, but, If
possible, and trade can be established
to warrant it, which no doubt it can
additions will be made from time to
time to the working force, which may
lead to the development of very large
factory.
Canton, Ill. is one of the larges;
cigar manufacturing points in the
country. 1t is not large city and in
point of location for this branch OF
business has no advantage over Plym
outh. Its reputation however is almost
national, and it has been gained by per
sistent, vigorous business efforts on the

UNCLE BILLY'S URBAN TASTES
The Theatergoing Experiences of IA Re

The TheatergOing Experiences of Re
Gently Annexed Citizen of This Town.
"Hain't seen you for good spell,
said Uncle Billy, as he entered the inn
yard on one of the recent hot days to
find guest slipping ale and eating cold
sliced tomatoes under the apple tree,
says the New York Sun.
Il have been away, up in the noun
tains," explained the guest
Mountains, eh?" said Uncle Billy
ANY pleasanter up there than tits
here?"
Cooler
well. l reckon it's nice up there in
summer. but man might as well be
dead as out O. New York. Yes, sir; a
man might as we'll be boxed up if he has
to live twenty-five miles from New
York.
Uncle Billy's somewhat hasty amend
ment of his phrase was doubtless due
to the sudden recollection that he had
been annexed to the city only a few
weeks before, and against his own wish
at that.
why don't you go down to the city
often" suggested the guest.
Go two or three times a week." an
swered Uncle Billy, lodging an apple
that fell with a smart thud at his feet
I'm just up from Harlem now Druv
down there six miles an more through
the heat this morning because lot O.
fellows ct me out O. house and home
yesterday"
Il suppose you go to the theater now
and them" asked the guest
Yes, later, when it's COOL
Go by trolley?" inquired the guest,
as a car Kissed by beneath the very
apple tree that shadowed him and Uncle
Billy.
"Trol!ey: Nav. 1 hain't been in on'
O. them cars but once, and that was th
Just one they ran up here. No, drive
down to the theater when l want to go
an leave my horse an buggy at a livery
stable can come home then when I'm
ready without waitin' for trains or troll
leys." And the man of urban tastes
slowly walked over to the pump to
wash his face and hands before dinner

in charge
We believe that there is an opportun-
ity for the establishment of such a rep
utation for Plymouth, and all indica-
tions point to the probability that a
persistant move in that direction will
be made by the energetic people who
are at the head of the cigar manufac-
turing industry of this city. We wish
the new firm unlimited success.

Examine Your Dollars.

1t any of the readers of the INDE-
PENDENT have number of dollars
silver ones lying around, it might pay
them to examine the date and see if
one of the date, 1904, is loaiing among
them. Ii they should discover one it
would be worth little more than the
silver therein contained, since the de-
monitazatiOn, as the dollar of that year
is valued at 81 200. There is according
10 authentic reports only eight in eX
iStencc The issue of that year was
sent to Tripoli, Africa, to help pay the
soldiers and sailors of the United States
who were at that time engaged in a
war with that country. 1t is thought
by number of coin collectors that the
natives of that country recovered the
greater portion of the issue, using them
for ornaments.
Speaking of rare coins, we might
mention another coin that is worth d
fabulous sum, say &20,000 This rare
piece of money is $50 gold piece
minted in the year 1918. 1t is not nee
essary for our readers to waste any
time looking over their $50 gold pieces,
thinking they might be fortunate
enough to discover it, as tn re is only
one coin in existence today, and il is in
keeping at the Philadelphia mint.

THE stimulus of large rewards for
the detection of crime sometimes has
startling effect on the attaches of crime
hunting detective agencies and leads to
some surprising and extraordinary re-
suits. In the late and widely known
case of alleged incendiarism which fol-
lowed the burning of the court house of
Fulton county, Illinois, it developed
that the extraordinary zeal of detectives
who worked on the theory that a guilty
man must be found and that if evidence
to convict could not be found in fact it
must be manufactured, was the means
of involving men in the crime who, in
all probability were as innocent of the
alleged incendiary work as the detec-
tives themselves. Another case at
Lacon, ILL.,, brings out evidence to show
that sweat box tactics were used by
Chicago detectives to fasten the guilt
of similar crime on boy fourteen
years Of age. In the latter case the de-
tectives were actuated by an offer OF

\ Handsome Gift.
From all EXchan

1t is very seldom that the opportuni-
ty is given to laud the efforts of our
progressive farmers. They as a rule
make no effort to bring themselves or
their products before the public for no.
toriety. We have though, through the
premiums given by the fair at Bourbon,
learned of the result of the offer made
bY Mr Cline & Co. of that place, on the
corn display. Elias Borden, Of near
Inwood, was the fortunate one in secur-
ing the new suit of clothes, which was
given as the first premium for the fin
est twenty ears of corn at the display.
Mr.. Berdon IS one of the progress i've
farmers of this county, as seneal ap-
pearence of his farm gives ample evi-
dence. Mr.. Borden wears the honOrs
won by him modestly and will no doubt
take advantage of every opportunity
given to show off to good advantage
the pr ducts of his excellent farm.

A JAPANESE BABY.
A Native Expression Which Has Lost Its
Original Meaning.


A gentleman formerly in the service
of the United States navy married a
Japanese beauty a few years ago and
settled down to domestic life in the land
of the rising sun.
Only few months ago an old chum
of his, an officer on one of our ships of
war now stationed in japanese waters,
went to call upon him at his house in
Fagasaki. While waiting in the room
which might correspond to the parlor
in this country, he heard the prattle of
child in the adjoining apartment
Said the youngster:
''Who is the foreign devil that has
come to see papa?"
"Hush~ said the nurse. "The gentle
man might overhear you. He is fell
low-countryman of your fathers
"We1, papa is foreign devil, too"
This incident would seem to show that
certain colloquial phrases have sur
vived the feeling of hated for foreign
ers which the japanese abandoned so
many years ago.

THE DAIRY BUSINESS.
How a Bright Writer Looks Upon Its
Financial Side.

The following is the way writer in
noard's Dairyman puts the dairy bust
ness: "a 400-pound COW is worth $500;
a 300-pound cow, 500; 250-pound COW,
$50; 225-pound COW, $25; 210-pound
COW, SO, while 2OOpound COW would
just about pay her board, and would
just be worth taking as gift. Now,
suppose cow will produce only $50
pounds of butter, the dairyman sus-
tains loss of $40 every year he keeps
her; and should he buy such COW to
keep five years, he ought to get her as
present; and, in addition, she should
have $50 bank note pinned to each
ear; even then the bargain would be a
poor one, because this COW would oc-
cupy the room of one that would make
a profit" While there is little exag-
geration here, perhaps, the line of rea-
soning is sound. How much does it
cost to test COW and learn whether
she is making or losing money for her
owner? Are not nine-tenths of the
cow-owners remiss and careless in this
matter? If careless here, the farmer
is careless in other matters; and gener-
al carelessness is what causes a major
ity to cry hard times"

Cigars of Brown Paper.

Paper cigars are one of the most re-
cent forms Of adulteration in Germany,
where two manufacturers have been
punished for making them. In one
case only the outside leaf consisted of
tobacco, the rest of the cigar being COM
posed of brown paper previously
stepped in tobacco juice and then dried.
In the other case the cigar maker had
actually entered in contract with a
paper manufacturer to make for him a
special kind of brown paper with to-
bacco remnants and paper pulp, the
sheets being afterward cut into strips
and rolled into the form of cigars.

81 have seen the marvellous salmon
runs of the Oregon rivers, but they are
no comparison to the tremendous
rushes of those Hudson straits fish.
1t may be that if the latter had big
fresh water rivers to explore they
would not be massed SO thiclzly along
the coast, but the channels they seek
are not sufficient to let them all in. If
the salmon supply of the world else
where should ever become exhausted,
it can be replaced easily by the fish of
those great northern waters. A thou

of salmon and trout there every season
without visibly lessening the supply"
