BIG TOBACCO CROP
Connecticut Valley Growers Will Re-
 ceive About $5,OOO,OOO.

Suffield, Nov 6-The asserting of the 1911 Connecticut valley tobacco crop has begun and the packing house will soon be in full sway. Con ficting opinion prevails as to the merits of the new crop, taken as a whole, and also as to why prices paid tobacco growers are materially higher than tobacco quotations in other re- cent years.
 Summarizing at the outset, it may be stated that the 1911 New England tobacco area was approximately 19,000 acres, of which upward of 2,000 acres was grown under tents. For the 17,- 900 acres of tobacco grown in the open, growers will receive, it is esti- mated, not far from $5,O00, ,O0O. But for drouth, hail, frost and pole sweat damage, the return would have been from $1,250.000 to $2,000,000 greater. Growers of shaded tobacco suffered comparatively little loss from drouth or storm, and none from frost. Good judges are of the opinion that the re- turns from shaded tobacco will aver age $1, 900 an acre. On this basis the 1911 crop of 1000 acres will bring $2, 900. GOO.
 If this estimate holds good the 1911 New England tobacco crop, practical ly nine -tenths of which is grown in the Connecticut valley between the New HampShire-V Vermont boundaries and Hartford, is a T,000,0 900 yield. Tn addition to this amount, the fact should not be overlooked that the pur- chasers of the tobacco must spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for asserting and packing the crop, an operation which gives employment to thousands of men and women in the tobacco belt during the winter and spring.

 What is the prevention ands the remedy for the quick deterioration of some of State roads? In those of the gravel type there often appear ruts and even on newly built section of the New York and Boston post road considerable depressions have develop ed''
 Well" replied the commissioner, "eternal vigilance is a necessity of keeping roads good. In gravel roads the rutted spots are usually where rain has washed out and deposited the softer clements of the soil. Clean this out and replace it with good gravel. For holes in the stone roads we have found the best treatment a filling of small stone coated with a tar solution and firmly rolled.
 Before the assemblage dispersed MT. Plump, the live wire secretary of the league, moved that the chairman ap- point a committee of citizens to form ulate plan for bettering for repair methods on the town highways. The motion was carried and Commodore Luttgen said that he would announce his appointments for the committee later.

LODGE
 TO CELEBRATE Many Visitors Will Come From Out of Town to Meet
 Bridgeport Members Olga Lodge Will Serve German Supper to 800 = Officers
 and History of Lodge

A notable event in the history of the Order of Sons of Hermann will be held at Germania Hall Nov. 8. It city of the 18th anniversary of Heine lodge, No. of Bridgeport and of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, which was instituted Nov 8. 1886 at New Haven. There will be present repre- sentatives of the National Grand lodge, the Grand Officers of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut Massachusetts, and New York and delegations and members of every brother and sister lodge in this state to join in the fes- tivications which will be under the arrangement of Heine lodge. Heine lodge was installed Nov. 8, 1886 with 56 members and like most all organi- cations of it's nature has had during the first 10 years of its existence a varied career, the outlook for it's fu
 ture existence being sometimes rather doubtful. In the year 1898 it's membership dropped down to 80, the lowest number, the cause being un- doubtedly a general distrust against Fraternal insurance, which in this order is compulsory, as it will be re- membered that many of the seem- ingly best organization about that time went out of existence; but owing to wise legislation Heine lodge survived and prospered. Today it has a mem bership of 16O including in it's members many of our most prominent business and professional citizens. Financially it is also in flourishing condition and with the present arrangements of it's Constitution the prospect of the future is encouraging. During the past 25 years Heine lodge paid to it's members for sick benefits the sum of $7 400; it

Talks on Suffrage
Governor Baldwin Explains His View in Interview With New York News .
 paper

Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, in an interview in the New York World in answer to the question whether wo- men should be granted the suffrage, is quoted as saying that the women of this State asked for too much from the last Legislature by pushing full suffrage for women and got nothing. Governor Baldwin, who has put him self on record before as advocating conditional suffrage for women, says:
 T recommended in my inaugural message to the recent General Asem- bly, in this State a grant to taxpaying women of municipal suffrage. Con- necticut is a land of steady habits, and it was my opinion that that was a measure which could be carried. I still think that it could have been had not the women of the State, who were especially interested in pushing full woman suffrage appeared fin force before the committee, asking for that and manifesting no willingness to take less.
 Public sentiment in Connecticut, in my opinion, is not at present in favor of universal woman suffrage. It is opposed by many of the women them selves. I do not think that in the, older States it is likely to make head way, except by slow degrees In my opinion half a loaf is always better than no bread"

were about to take a ride, and
the team was tied to hitching
post i'm FRONT Of their residence or
the west side Of town. Mrs. Chris
Jefferson came out of the house
with the baby in her arms and III
some manner frightened the
team, which broke loose from the
hitching post and started off In
the direction of Main street. They
turned south at the Waletich &

down the street, which was lined
with vehicles, running foul oil
buggy belonging to Lars Eager

hind wheels. The runaways were
stopped shortly afterwards. The,

MELLETTE COUNTY
Will Be Thrown Open for Set.
tlemnt Early in October.

Pierre, July 6.-The latest re-
port is that Mellette county will
be opened to settlement some
time in October. This will no
doubt be by drawing for filings,
and the actual settlement will
not occur until next spring. In
that relation the following fig
'ures have been given out as to
what the homesteaders can ex-
pect to secure when thy get an
opportunity at these lands. There
will be about 100000 acres of
land left for entry after the In
dian selections. OF this 10000
acres, or 125 claims have been
appraised at from $4.75 to 5000
an acre, being considered as the
best lands left open; about four
times that amount has been list
ed as second in grade and is ap-
praised at from So to 81 am acre,
and among this list will be found
land which will no doubt suit
some of the settlers as well as the
higher priced land. The remain
ing 100000 acres are classed as
grazing land, and are probably
rough. They are appraised at
from 25 cnts an acre up to So.
This country adjoining on Neb-
rAska has been favored this year
with rains not secured farther
north, and is looked upon as
first class land.

WON HIS HEART
Wealthy Miller Man CITES Tan
gled Up with "a Rag and a
Bone and Hank of Hair"
and Nearly Loses His Fortune.

The case of M. Haberman, a
wealthy citizen Of Miller. who
was nearly fleeced of his fortune
in California by a woman half
his age, has been settled after a
trial in court in Los Angeles, the
wo'nan giving up the $40, 600
worth OF securities that the Mil
Ter man had given her.
Last fall, to escape the i'm
agined hardships of winter in
South Dakota, NJ. Haberman with
some twenty others departed for
the western coast to remain until
spring. 1t was not long after the
arrival there before Mr.. Haber-
man met in a dentist IS office the
fair lady who later proved to
be his undoing. Her name was
Wheeler, and while she had hus
band he was not in evidence.
She seems to have played upon
the sympathies Of the South Da-
kota man, who was widower, to
an alarming degree and was soon
getting his ready money away
from him. 1t was not until he
began to sign over his mortga-
ges to her that the friends be-
came interested and begged him
to drop the newly found ac-
quaintance. He promised that
he would, but when he would
again meet her she would exert
such an Influence over him that
he would do her bidding. His
friends fastened to inform his
sons in South Dakota Of what wa
going ON. Means were taken at
once to prevent the payment Of
the assigned notes and mort
cages to the woman. When they
were demanded Of her by the
aged victim who at last begamto
see through it all, and by the
SONS, She refused to give them
up, the matter then had to be
taken into court, and when the
trial came she was compelled to
disgorge. 1t yost Mr.. Habermm
about $4,000, according to his
own statement, but he saved a
fortune that seemed almost slip
ping from him before the pro-
ceedings to recover We're starte.

The Case Of Old Man Bridges.

Nearly everybody who has
read the progress Of the See
case at Chicago has bestowed a
lot of sympathy upon Stephen
Bridges, the father of Mildred
Bridges, "the girl in the
.case.' In the opinion Of the
News, the sympathy is wasted.
The 17-year-old girl has tes&ir
flied on the witness stand that
her father gave his consent to
her living in the same, house
where See carried on his my
sterious religious" cult. The
old man even acted for a time
as president of the cult. He
thought See a truly great and
grand man for a long time and
was pleased rather than other
wise, to find his daughter had
found faver in the eyes OF such
great and good man.
And now when things have
reached a climax, the old man
tried to assassinate See, and
sheds tubs of tears because his
daughter clings to- the religious
faker and repudiates her father.
But after all, who is primarily
to blame? Not the 17-year-old
girl. who didn't know any bet
ter-buH her father who now
poses as martyr to parental
love.
For the matter Of that, the
News has theory that when a
boy or girl of tender years
gets into trouble it is not the
Youngsters ' who should be pun
ished, or held up to public scorn,
but the father or mother or
both Children are what their
parents make them. When a
father is too absorbed in money
making or in pleasure seeking
or what not, to give his son the
training that will keep him from
the pitfalls of later life, or when
a mother is too taken up with
keeping up the pace set by the
other women in her set, whether
their especial fad be society, or
religion, or bridge. or some other
interest, to devote time to the all
important work Of training her
daughter in the womanly vitues

WHEAT CRAZY
Milbank Man Says That's What's
the Matter with South Dako-
ia Farmers.

GA crop shortage in South
Dakota this year will be a bless
ing in Disguise asserted Paul
Kohler Of NIilbank at the Rogers
hotel the other day, In conversa-
ton with a reporter for the Min
neapols journal.
Mr.. Kohler said that South Da.
kota farmers had gone wheat
5crazy ssn4.a wol.ad not raase any
thing else.
"1he farmers of South Dako-
ta" he continued "are making
sad mistake and need few
lessons like the last two years of
drought to teach correct farm
ting. They have got to come to
diversified farming sooner or
later, and the sooner they realize
this and act accordingly the bet
ter for them. A few years ago.
when we had crop failures out
there, you would see lots of
teams standing in line at the
creameries to deliver the products
Of their dairies. Now the cream
cries have almost gone out Of
business for lack of supply.
Farmers are selling off their
stock. They not only should be
keeping stock but acquiring
more.
"I know lot of farmers who
Iseek to rejuvenate the soil Of
their farms by planting clover,
perhaps on ONE 40 or an 80. Of
course the clover, when plowed
under next year, does wonders
for THE ground, but the farmer
usually fails to keep up the sys-
tem.''
Mr.. Kohler has about 1000
acres of land in crop. About SOC
acres is in bad shape, he said,
but the rest will produce we'll.
In speaking of conditions in Rob
erts and Grant counties, where he
operates, he said wheat would
yield about 40 per cent of nor
NAL; oats are practically total
failure; corn is in good shape
and pasturing cannot be COM
planned Of.

Leave the Stone in Sight.

It has been suggested to us that
we caution PARTIES digging stones
out of the road not to throw
them in the grain fields but pile
them ON the side in plain sight,
in cases where the road through
the field is narrow to carry them
to the end of the field. A stone
in the road is a bad thing for an
auto but a stone in the field is
much worse for binder, as in
the first instance the driver can
see and avoid it while in the sec
ond he is almost certain to drive
on to it and do more or less dam
age to his binder generally
more.
A little thoughtfulness in this
matter will save time, trouble and
expense and it won't cost any
one a cent. Webster Reporter
