"Templar Way" 1t is conclave week
and outside of the thousands of Wis

invaded the Windy City. To tell the
truth the beautiful decorations are
inducements enough to bring visit

be able 10 cheer them, in telling
them that the great parade of Tues
day, August 8, and the numerous
drills of the Sir knights will be faith
fully shown on the screen, even Of
the smallest village OF the United
States. This is due to the energetic
enterprise of the Selig Polyscope

SUSPECTS FOUL PLAY
MAN FROM LONE GROVE MISTER
IOUSlY DISAPPEARS YESTER-
DAY AFTERNOON.

Justice OF the Peace Ferguson is in
a quandary, and is inclined to believe
that foul play has been practiced In
the city. The story OF the case is as
follows:
Some time ago one ]. r. w. Jones,
who lives two miles south of Lone
Grove had little difficulty with one
]. C. Scarberry of Lone Grove. Jones
was arraigned before the justice OF the
peace at Lone Grove and paid a fine.
Jones then filed a complaint before
Justice of the Peace Ferguson Of this
city against Scarberry for assault, and
Scarberry made bond for his appear
ance in Justice Ferguson's court yes
terday. All parties appeared and by
agreement the case was continued un-
til two O'Clock p. m. About | o'clock
Jones was seen on Main street, but did
not show up when the case was called
and Officer Landrum together with the
father of the young man was sent TO
find him. Their efforts were unaavil-
ing and though the search was con-
tinued throughout the night and up to
the present time no trace of the
young man has been found, and JUS
,ice Ferguson fears that foul play has
been practiced in removing him.

COUNTY
WANTS LABORERS
FARMERS THROUGHOUT COUNTY
AND LOCAL MANUFACTURERS
WANT NEGROES TO WORK.

Ardmore and Carter county wants
Iahorers and wants them badly. The
cotton crop is to be gathered ana the
farmers are offering good prices foi
cotton pickers: The compress is short
handed and the whistle that blows
every morning at five o'clock invites
workers to come and earn "A good
day's wage; the oil mill is in neeN
of help at good wages and are un-
able to secure the same; and too
several other industries of the city.
In the face of these conditions,
Ardmore has the unique distinc ion
of having more negro loafers over
on the east side" than any other
town of It's size in the state. There
are burly coons over there VINO
never did an honest days work in
their life and who live off the poor
unsophisticated country niger who
brings a bale of cotton to market,
give him drink OF cheap Whiskey
and proceed to rob him through the
medium OF some brace game in
which he has about as much chance
of winning out as a little woody lamb
would have in a den of lions.
Now it is up to the police force
of this city to get busy and make
these negroes go TO work and make
an honest living or put the last
ore OF them on the county road, the
farmers of the county want their ser
vices and are willing to pay good
wages. and its q cinch that If some
CT the ne; or sweats' don't &c, busy
Chief Garrett will have them improY-
ing the highways of the county.

THIEVES At WORK
THROUGHOUT CITY
KENNETH HUDSON LOoSES VAL
UABLE GOLD WATCH-NEGRo
TRIES TO STEAL PISTOL.

Thieves are still active in the city
and yesterday got in their work in
two instances.
The first one was strange negro
who Went into the store of Stevens,
Kennerly & Spragins to purchase a
box of cartridges. While being waited
upon by Bud Conlee, manager of the
store who was compelled to step to the
rear of the store in order to secure
the cartridges called for, the negro
reached over the show case and slip
ped pistol in his pocket. Mr.. Conlee
detected him in the act and made him
deliver the gun, he then stepped to the
phone and called for the police, in the
meantime the coon thought it was time
to leave which he did, hurriedly, fol-
lowed by several of the clerks and one
or two policemen, he made a dash
through the weeds east of the Santa
Fe tracks and eluded his pursuers.
Kenneth Hudson of the Hudson
Houston Lumber company left his vest
hanging In the office Wednesday after
noon, in the pocket of the vest was a
valuable watch, for a moment he was
called to the yard and while out his
watch was stolen. Mr.. Hudson said he
had his suspicious as to the guilty
party and had the chief of police notify
him that the watch had better be re-
turned.

Man-a-Iin an Ideal Laxative.

gro. Mandy and Sis and Ike and
George Washington come from the
stores with their arms laden with
packages, whose contents too often are
frivolous and useless. The grocers
and butchers are heavily patronized,
for the negro likes to eat no less than
he enjoys swelling around in new
clothes. The return from the fields
becomes a continuous celebration and
season of hospitality. Finally the
cotton money is exhausted ana Mandy
begins thinking of "Missus," whom
she had left in tears. a few OF the
more provident families save their
money, however, by investing 1t in use
full things.
Mrs. b. Ridge has been having a
hard time. In desperation, she has
raised the customary weekly wage OF
$3.50 or 81 for domestic help, by offer
ing So and even IS per week-more
than she feels she can afford to pay.
But even this has left her without SER
wants. The skylarking in the cotton
fields was more enticing than even the
money that could be earned picking
cotton. If Mrs. b. Ridge had offered
SIS week Mandy would have said;
Oats shore lots of money, Missus,
Igt phil1nnC pn
to do cotton patch by demselves."
There Is charm in the prospect of
Christmas gifts, and to none does II
appeal more strongly than the negro
servant. So one day, when Mrs. y.
Ridge was thinking of plans for Christ
mas cookery, a knocking is heard at
the kitchen door. Mandy appears
smiling and bowling when the door is
opened-ready to resume her abandon
ed work at the old wage.
Aren't you ashamed to treat me as
you have" exclaims Mrs. B. Ridge,
with feigned anger. Inwardly she is
shouting for Joy TO think that you
y
would go away and leave me, after all
the kindness I've shown you! The
Lord will surely punish such people.
Seemingly ashamed and penitent'
Mandy begins setting things TO rights
on the kitchen table. Inwardly, she
also is concealing things-she knows
that Mrs. b. Ridge is in raptures OF
delight at her return. She had proof
of II when Mrs. b. Ridge, a moment
later, calls over the telephone:
George, dear, you can't guess whose
come. Mandy is back, and she's in the
kitchen right now. Hurry home to
supper. for I'm ordering a thick steak
and Mandy is going to make some OF
those snow white biscuits you Ike SO
well and, oh, I'm so tickled l can hard
ly talk"
Mandy is on the job again for Keeps
until next September. Mrs. B. Ridge
still radiating delight and happiness
goes shopping for Christmas and
makes extravagant purchase for dear
old Mandy" as dear old Mandy
knew she would.

Market conditions seem to be inn
proving. They should soon become
brisk if any permanency can be ex-
pected of the suddenly aroused activity
Of which glowing reports with rare
unanimity are published in this issue
by all our correspondents in the trade
centers. Not for months has such
CLEANS of hope and encouragement
frightened the letters of our CORES
pondents as they do in this issue. The
complaints and gloomy forebodings
with which the reports were saturated
for months and months past have all at
once given way to tone of cheerful
ness with the effect of the sudden
breaking forth of an inspiring ray of
sunshine after days of Oppressive cloud
mess and mugginess. And the local
market seems to have caught already
the reflective benefit of this change, for
the market was quite busy with actual
transactions and still buster with an
swering inquiries. Nearly all types of
leaf were in demand and some consid-
cradle sales were closed in filler and
binder stocks. 1t will soon be ques-
ton of finding the proper stock at all
in these lines. Sumatra continues to
be in fair demand, and Florida is also
sharing in livelier use. The old stock
of Sumatra is being exhausted while
the available marks of the new crop
are being so limited as to considerably
enhance their price. In Havana the
market has likewise become more ac-
tive of late, probably due to the reports
of the yield and result of the new crops
which are anything but encouraging. -

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, June 8, 1917

EDGERToN, WIS.,, June 8, 1910.
Continued cool weather is retarding
the growth of all vegetation and hold
ing the season backward. While the
plant beds are making some progress
under the best weather conditions, the
indications are for a late planting sea-
son again. A few growers report plants
large enough for the fields but the de-
lay in corr planting and other work has
prevented the preparing of the tobacco
ground much as yet. The coming week
will see little transplanting started,
but warmer days and immunity from
frosts are necessary if the average beds
bring plants the regulation size by the
usual date of planting.
The buying of last seasons crop and
the market for cured leaf has appar-
emily lapsed into decidedly quiet lines
and nothing out of the ordinary seems
to doing anywhere along the line. An
occasional lot comes in from the farms
that had been previously settled for
and warehouse handling is progressing
at quite number of warehouses yet.
Nine firms are still employing full
complement of hands in this market.
The shipments out of storage reach
442 cases and car loads to all points
for the week. Since last report 20 car
loads have been received from outside
points.

New England.

One thing this spring has demon
strated is that tobacco growers cannot
rely upon early indications as favorable
to an early harvest. The earliest plants
were set in Connecticut this year about
May 3, and there has been considerable
frost since. Planting has been more or
less irregular by those who believe in
setting before June /, and this year
more growers than usual have trans
planted before that date. Setting of
plants was fairly active as early as two
weeks ago, and plants have been put
into the field in most localities from
that date on.
Many tobacco plants were set in the
vicinity of Sufield. CT, last week, not
because of fine, warm weather cOndi-
tions, but because the plants had out
grown the beds. To save the smaller
plants it was necessary to remove the
large ones. Weather has not been very
favorable to tobacco for the past two
or three weeks. May 19 the mercury
registered below the frost line, and if
it had not been for cloudy weather,
much damage would have resulted to
transplanted tobacco. March was warm
and also the first part OF April gave
promise of early summer and good
start with this crop. Warm weather
pushed along the plants in seed beds as
fast as anyone would wish, indeed a
little faster than old, experienced grow
ers wanted. Later came the cool
weather, and many growers did not re-
move the covers from beds, fearing
plants would become stunted. Now we
have the condition in this locality where
nlanfs are larger than growers wish
We do not like to set plants in the
field with the mercury lowering about
plants in the seed beds all are likely to
be stunted by crowding. If the wealth.
may be impaired, but should it w9rm

LANCASTER, Pa, May "a, 1910.
The present week will see good
deal of tobacco planted, as everything
is favorable for removing the plants
from the seed beds to the field. In
fact, planting has become general al
ready, and good many growers have
already set out their plants. The con-
ditions under which this season opens
are in marked contrast to those of last
season, when they could not well have
been worse.
Little of the 1909 crop remains un-
sold. Taking it as whole, the grow
ers are pretty well satisfied with what
they got for their crop. When cut it
was regarded as only half crop, or
little more, and it was predicted that
very little of the tobacco could be sold
as anything more than trash. Instead,
a large percentage was sold as very
excellent filler goods, and the packers,
