Reinbeck, Feb. NOTHING has
shocked this community so much for
a long time as the suicide of Andrew
Sloss, a successful banker of Apple
ton, MINI. Mr.. Sloss was a former
Reinbeck boy, having grown to man
hood on a farm near here. He has been
engaged in business in Minnesota and
South Dakota for many years, and at
the time of his death was interested
in seven banks. His financial affairs
were in excellent shape, and the only
explanation which can be given for
the rash act is that the strain of the
past few months had temporarily I'M
balanced his mind. Mr.. Sloss was an
unusually good citizen and an exem-
plary man in every respect, all OF
which makes his tragic end more in
explicable and the shock greater
where he was so well known.

The meeting at Winchester today of
the Executive Board of the Burlev
Tobacco Society will be one of great
Importance In that the matter of fix
ing the price on the 1907 crop will be
decided. 1t may be that many grow
ers Oh not realize the Importance of
InlS feature at this critical moment.
oome alleged plungerS and spectators
are advocating the doctrine OF "the
higher the price the better and the
danger is that it may catch the un-
thinking. 1t has been suggested that
the price be set at twenty-five cents
per pound, or even higher Thought
Iul and conservative leaders-the men
VINO have toiled and suffered to make
the POOL success and to win the con-
ndence OF the public-say that this is
the voice of the rapacious Spectator
VINO thinks only of his personal gain.
Ihey say 1T is echoed by the enemies,
OF the growers who want to see their
organization wrecked, and that the
trust agents themselves are urging it
TO that end. These devoted leaders
realize that the Society must maintain
Its dignity and deal out even Justice if
1t would cOntinuT.
They see that the fixing of an un-
reasonable price would be ruinous TO
the future of the organizati ton, and
they are opposing it. 1t is said that
there are COW on file at the Society's
headquarters in Winchester enough
orders to almost take up all the 1907
crop up to twenty cents per pound.
Of course an increase of price would
nullify ali these orders, and the work
would have to be done over again.
Most of the real leaders favor keeping
the price at fifteen cents per pound,
average.
The second matter of Importance is
to determine whether or not those who
have raised 1908 crop of tobacco shall
be allowed to join the pool and put in
his years crop. 1t is reported that
nearly all those who have raised to-
bacco this year want to put their crops
in the pool. 1t is up to the Society to
say whether they shall be received or
forced to sell Independently
1t is quite likely that these matters
will provoke lively discussion. and the
meeting is sure to be interesting.

political situation in Japan had become
quite Intense from the irreconcilable

June 26 by Daimio attacking the
American steamer Pembroke in the
Straits of Simonosaki, which separates
