LANCASTER, PENN, Jan. 30, 1906.


The old time activity prevails among
our tobacco warehouses again, but it is
through the new crop coming in and
not by reason of the old tobacco being
sold. The past week the growers have
rushed great quantities of their tobacco
to the buyers, and from all reports it is
in most satisfactory condition. AS the
dealer gets what he contracted for and
the grower receives his check, every body
is satisfied The excellent condition of
the roads, which were not broken up by
severe winter weather, makes it easy
work for the growers making their deliv-
cries. In less than a month there will
be some of the new crop on the market,
that which was first harvested, and bulk
sweated, of course
The tobacco throughout the county
has not been bought up as closely as
most have thought. True, it is closely
bought, but hardly day passes that We
do not hear of few lots picked up here
and there through the county. The only
trouble is they are so scattered that it
hardly pays dealer to go hunting for
them. The price ranges from 10 to Ii
cents, with II cents fair average. New

man who PLAYS the part Of the goat In

No newspaper can be published without a
license. which can be obtained under ordi-

ness. upon the payment of fee, which
amounts to few dollars. The managers of
newspapers which are likely to offend al
ways keep an extra license on hand so
that II their paper Is suppressed the next
issue is published under the new license
and the new name and there is no inter-
ruption in the circulation. This transforma-
ton has become frequent that SUBJ

Engineers School

A school for traction engineers will
be opened at the Minnesota State Fair
Grounds beginning June 18th and clos
ing June 80.
The general object of the school is
to turn out trained traction engineers.
That there is great need for such
training is made evident by the large
number of boilers that have been ex-
ploded, the number of engines that
have been wrecked, and the great
losses in operation that have been
sustained largely thru the Ignorance
and carelessness of poorly trained
engineers. Many a fine engine sent
out has met with failure just because
the men who purchased it OF operated
it knew nothing of the principles or
were lacking in the necessary skill to
make it do the work it was intended tc
do.
Secretary Wilson of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture has frequently
called attention to the necessity o.
this kind of work, and he is urging
the colleges of agriculture to put il
courses of instruction on the applica'
ton of power to farm machinery. A
growing use of traction engines ir
all forms of farm work has made {
great demand for this instruction. TIC
meet this demand this school has
been established, it being the frs
school and the only school of its kline
in the United States.
