TOBACCO BUSINESS LOOKING UP

Says the Edgerton Tobacco Reporter
After long and tiresome wait some
thing like old time business is coming
back to packers of Wisconsin tobacco.
The past month has witnessed more
large transactions than the market has
seen since the 1900 crop. At last the
trade mas come to realize that the avail
able binder supply was becoming limit
ed and the old hand to-mouth policy
that has prevailed for two or three
years past was discarded and the large
consumers have entered the market and
secured ample stocks, not only for i'm
mediilte needs, but to keep their factor
les going until another crop was avail
shls. While recent trading has been
largely of the 1909 packings, old stocks
of all years have been sought after and
anything suitable to the present needs
of manufacturers is getting in better
demand. When sales of the past few
weeks foot up TO II, 900 or more cases
it is pretty sure indication that cigar
manufacturing has reached more sta
bic business and lends much encourage
ment to packers who have been wait
ing and hoping for change that has
long been delayed. Even the holders
of 1906 see some ray Of hope that this
neglected and much abused tobacco will
now come into its own.

4 Concerning donations, the stained
glass windows came entirely from indi-
viduals within the church aid societies
Of the denomination, while the bell was
presented by Rev. Halyorsen. No
more fitting memorial for the dead or
remembrance for a society can be pro-
cured than one Of these windows, the
sight Of which never fails to stir the
sense of appreciation for the beautiful.
gTorn from his village through the
ravages of war and spirited away he
knew not where, it is said that one not
ed bell caster of Europe set out like
Ponce de Leon of old, not in search Of
the perpetual fountain of youth, but TO
once again hear the beautiful chimes
Of his favorite set of bells. For years
he Travelled, and one evening, drifting
down river, grown old through disap-
pointments and hope long deferred, the
chimes of his bells floated out to him
over the water. He listened, wept
and his soul passed into the great be-
You'd. The writer has often thought
that this beautiful story is inseparaby
linked With the bells of the Lutheran
denomination, for without exception,
they combine melody and power in
degree not to be attributed to other
sects as class. So this bell shall ever
reflect the beauty, the power and full
ness seen in the life of him who gave
it.
There is something grandly inspiring
in church reposing boldly upon the
open prairie. And on this beautiful
Sabbath day, with the hundreds of peo-
pie and teams clustering around its
base, ii was the more thing TO be re-
vered The dreamy softness Of autumn
clothed the distant hill and dale, the
mellow rays Of kindly beaming sun
dispelled every trace of uncongenial
cold, while under IL all, we wandered
in the solemn stiffness, sat among the
graves in the ancient cemetery where
sleep the patriarehs and pioneers of old
Vernon. viewed the ruins of the old
church ard wondered at the faith that
had reared another in its stead in the
short span Of one year. And the lesson
il taught was unmistakable: That the
religious impulse within man, though it
might be perverted in the passing CEN
trries, though it might at times love
doCmas more than morality and sects
more than truth, yet eventually will
lead as upward To the sacred brother
hood of man to the fulluess and grand
eur of that life Of which the Master
taught and which He ever lived.
