R M MENACE REAL.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts Startles
House of Lords With His Words.

Misunderstanding in the House Of
Lords, Field Marshal Lord Roberts
expressed the conviction that the lack
Of a. military force sufficient to make
hopeless the attempt of an invasion
would in all probability be the cause
of the loss of Great Britain's suprem-
acy at sea. In a studied speech he
pointed out the comparative ease with
which Germany could land an army
on the shores of England. Under the
present conditions England would be
forced, he said, to submit to most
humiliating demands.
He disclaimed all hostility to or
fear of Germany, but he declared that
the defense of the islands required
immediate attention. There should
be an army SO strong in numbers and
efficient In quality that the most for
midable of foreign nations would hes
itate to make a landing In England.

TOBACCO GROWERS
Whip THE TRUST
American Company Finally Agrees
to Pay Price Demanded.
TOTAL MAY REACH $14,o00,000
Deal Just Closed Means the End of
Night Rider Outrages in State of
Kentucky - Nearly SO,000,000
Pounds Held in the Burley Pool.

Louisville, Ky.-The Tobacco Trust
has been whipped to a finish and
made to bow down to the Burley To-
bacco Society. Some of the members
Of that organization unoflcially
formed the bands of marauders
known as night riders, who resorted
to arson and murder to attain their
ends.
BY a deal between the Burley To-
bacco Society and the American To-
bacco Company, closed lately, the
1906 and part of the 1907 crop Of to-
bacco, involving 80,000,0OO pounds,
becomes the property of the Amer1-
can Tobacco Company at a cost Of al
most $4,000, 900. The average price
per pound for the 1906 crop was
twenty and a half cents and seven
teen cents for the 1907 crop. There
is great rejoicing in Kentucky among
the night riders and those who sym
pathize with them. 1t is considered
q decisive victory for the night rid
ers and will end the marauding IN
Kentucky. "
The Burley Tobacco Society is an
organization that comprises about
ffty-fve counties in the northern and
central portions Of Kentucky, and has
In it's membership all tobacco, raisers.
These. growers pooled all Of their
crops of 1906 and 1907 and the or
g~anization was controlled exactly like
any corporation or trust would be,
that is, by officers and an executive
board. Tobacco raising in the Bur-
ley district is very arduous work, and
employs the time of the farmer prac-
tically the year round. It Is esti-
mated that 1t requires at least a price
of eight cents a pound for a farmer
to realize any profit on raising Burley
tobacco.
The tobacco growers, knowing that
the trust was realizing at least from
forty cents to 81 for the Burley to-
bacco after it was manufactured for
consumption, decided, as a last resort,
to organize against trust prices. This
they did, with the result that by this
deal they received an average OF near
ly nineteen cents a pound for their
tobacco, thus attesting that they have
gained their point. This was done by
curtailing the production and not
raising a crop this year.

,,NANY KILLED BY TORNADO
Two Mile Wide Path Through
Arkansas is 70 Miles Long.
Visited Western Edge of State, Leav-
ing O Trail of Death, Suffering
and Destruction.

Fort Smith, Ark. - From meagre
reports received here from a score OF
towns in northeast Arkansas it ap-
pears that twenty-five people were
killed, fifty injured and a number are
missing through O tornado which
swept through this section Of country.
The path of the storm was two
miles wide and seventy miles long.
Its force was felt in the greatest de-
gree in the vicinity of Ozark, Ark.
The small town of Cravens, four miles
west, was completely wiped out. Four
people were killed and three fatally
injured.
The dead are Mr.. and Mrs, John
Rosin and two children. The injured
are DR.. and Mrs. Hill, an aged couple,
who were caught in the collapse OF
their house and crushed. Grocery

taken refuge were blown to pieces
and all the occupants more or less
hurt.
Dr.. Croker, of Lenall, Ark, was
slightly hurt. Eight people-three
men and two women. and three chill
dren-are reported missing in Crav-
ems. All were seen before the storm.
At Knoxville, Ark, the storm
passed over at the mouth of Piney
Creek, demolishing everything in its
path. Twenty people were injured
and several are reported to have been
killed.
Calls for doctors have been sent
from Barr, a small town four miles
northeast of Knoxville. Physicians
went to the stricken town on a hand
car and have not returned. Barr was
swept nearly off the map.
The country between Knoxville and
Barr is waste, the farmhouses were
shattered and some of the occupants
killed. The path Of destruction in
some places is four miles wide.
The damage at Berryville is con-
fined mostly to stores and churches.
The storm came. up from the west at
2.15 o'clock and lasted but a few min
utes. The Methodist Church was
wrecked and the parsonage badly
damaged. Stl
The homes of four doctors, frame

ished. The Baptist Church cupola
was blown $50 feet, and.a neighbor-
ing frame house. unoccupisd, was re-
ducedF to ,:kindlings. Eleven other

The Ideal Short and Tall Woman.

There is no lopgera perfect7type OF

neck, twelve and one-half inches;
bust, thirty-six inches; waist, twenty
one inches; hips, thirty-seven inches;
the largest part of the fore
arm, below the elbow, eleven inches,
which should gradually taper to six
inches around the wrist. Here are
the proportions Of the correct tall
woman: Height, five feet eight and

inches; waist, twenty-five inches
hips, forty-two inches; top of arm,
