HUMAN HAIR IN DEMAND.
Prices Go Up on Account of Increas-
ing Couture Business.

Berlin, Feb. l2.-The turban style Of
couture has had the effect Of increasing
the demand for human hair and as a con-
sequence raising its price. This is no.
where more observable than in Germany.
where the import has risen % per cent
within a year and the export as much as
30 per cent
OF the total export, 1852 pounds, IS, 400
pounds went TO the United States In 1909
as against 10, 100 pounds the year before
The price of hair varies with the length.
and rises in increasing proportion with
every five Centimeters, so that a pound
avoirdupois of weight costs between 500
and $125 The average weight of a wom-
ans hair Is taken in the trade as being
not more than half a pound
China is the chief source of supply of
human hair, but it IS for the most part
prepared for marketing in Bohemia, a
land itself renowned for the length and
quality of its Slav women's hair. When
human hair was less in demand for COM
mercial purposes than It Is now it was
usual for the perukes OF actors and &c
Uesses playing the parts of kings and
queens TO be made of it; but owing to the
increased demand of recent years buffalo
hair and colored silk are used instead.

are hundreds at the various resorts. ST

many, while in other parts of Switzer-
land they are almost as numerous.
And they are giving a good account Of
themselves, too, taking an active part in
the sporting events and by carrying off
some of the big prizes. figuring promi-
nently among the winners.
A hero has arisen among the curriers' at
St. Moritz in Prescott Metcalf. who. hail

finally starved out on September %. For
the last ten days they had lived on pre-
serves and rain water.

Rome, Feb. 12-The Pope remembers
old friends, ara when he knows that
some person he is acquainted with is In
Rome ne never fails to grant an audi
ence. A few days ago a sailing vessel
from Malta was shipwrecked on the
Roman coast.
Four men of the crew were drowned
and the remaining seven swan ashore
and were rescued with great difficulty by
some shepherds.
The master and mate were injured and
they were conveyed to one of the hos
pltals in Rome The Pope read about
the shipwreck in the newspapers. and the
name Of one Of the crew sounded familiar
10 him.
Il think I must have known this man
called Rugier in Venice, where he used
10 come on a schooner from Malta" said
the Pope TO his secretary. and I would
like to see him.
An audience was arranged and Rugier,
the mate. went UP to the Vatican. The
Pope kept him over an hour in his pri-
vate library, heard the story OF the ship
wreck, and presented him with a gold
medal
I saw your holiness in Venice once
some years ago. said the mate.
ITO be sure" answered the Pope. Il
remembered your name and the vow you
told me about, the vow you made when
you were shipwrecked once before. Do
you still keep it?''
Increases His Vow.
Yes. your holiness, and have In
creased it now answered the man.
He then told the Pope that he aseribed
his rescue 10 a repetition of his old vow,
namely, that he would fast on bread and
water twice every week for the rest of
his life
But you already tasted twice every
week for the other vow, and now you
will have to eat bread and water on four
days out Of seven" exclaimed the Pope.
then he added You are an old man and
il is cruel 10 starve yourself, so I pro-
hibit you from keeping both vows"
The seaman expostulated. He said a
bargain was a bargain. and as God had
saved his life he was bound 10 fulfill his
promises The Pope insisted. He tried
10 persuade the seaman that the VOW was
not binding, as it was too hard for a man
CT his age. but realizing that it was use
less 10 argue the point, he had regular
brief of dispensation drawn out there and
then signed and sealed ii in due form.
and he handed il TO the seaman, saying:
If you do not obey this you viii be ex-
communicated. and this exempts you from
fasting"
The seaman then bowed his head and
promised TO obey

NEXT MONDAY
THE LAST DAY.
On Which You Can Join The
Planters Protective
Association.

Next Monday at noon the ques
ton Of whether or not Christian
county shall be dropped from the
Planters Protective Association will
be decided. At noon on that day
the books will be closed and no
more pledges will be received after
the closing hour. Then an estimate
will be made, and If 81 per cent. of
the tobacco crop has been pledged,
the organization in this county will
be continued, if not, the county will
be dropped and those who have
signed will be added to the Mont
gomery county organization.
We are not prepared to cay what
shape matters will be in next Mon
day. In some of the precincts the
solicitors are meeting with encour-
aging success, while in others prac-
tically nothing has been accomplish
ed. No persuasion is being used. by
those who are soliciting pledges.
The benefits of organization are pre-
sented to the farmers and they are
advised as to the date the books will
be closed. They are invited to join
if they think it to their best inter-
esters to do so;; if not, they are per-
fectly free to remain outside.
A great many farmers seem to
have grievances against the associa-
ton for various nnisdeeds and offer
these as an excuse for not joining.
They do not seem to remember the
grievance they had against the
trust in 1903 4, when their tobacco
did not bring anything like the cost
of production Of course, we do
not predict an immediate return of
these deplorable conditions. With
the association broken up, however.
these would be nothing to prevent
it. Of course. the association will
be a go this year without Christian
county or any other county or coun-
ties that may be dropped. Already
more tobacco is pledged for this
year than was handled last year.
But the future is to be looked after.
Next year some of the other coun-
ties may decide they do not wish to
carry the load for the benefit of
Christian and others that may drop
out. Enough of the counties may
decide thusly to so disable the as
sociation that it may be broken
down. Then the trust will again be
sole master of situation. Mr..
Farmer, you can probably imagine
what that means.-Pembroke Journ-
