In stretching forth his hand for the goblet,
he thought he heard a sigh Of infinite pam

Indrapura. She perhaps thought better OF
him than to abandon her for the price OF his
own life. From time of old it was not the
way of the RajputS. He took the goblet
from the Maharana; but, instead OF APP
preaching the Thakur, turned quickly to-
ward the Princess. He raised the goblet
above her head as if in a benedictlon, then
drained the contents. With a sweep Of his
arm he hurled the goblet to the pavement,
smashing it into a thousand Spllnters.

Meanwhile the Maharana divcSted his neck
of a rope of kingly pearls.
"Be it so" he gravcly inclined his head.
He motioned Townsend and the Princess to
advance When they stood before him, he
bound their hands together with the rope
of pearls. "By this act, he said, "you are

bodyguards of the Maharana stood like

upon the slkcn sheen of matchleSS rugs,
cleaning in arabcsQue patterns OF azure, OLD

When Townsend was brought before the
Maharana profound silence fell Presently
the Maharana spoke.

The decision in the Tobacco case was
naturally the chief topic Of interest in
the leaf market this week But while it
was discussed and talked about where
members Of the trade met, nobody
seemed to be willing or ready to make
his views pubic. What seemed to in
terest them, however, most was: viii
the Tobacco Corporation be forced to
dissolve under the mandate of the court
or not, and what will it's final outcome
be? In the meanwhile business is SIM
DIV dragging along, having been Meth
er advanced nor further retarded by
the decision. Probably the story pub
lished exclusively in this issue Of the
United States Tobacco Journal of an
attempt on the part of our domestic
filler and binder raisers to organize a
pool, in other words, veritable monop-
oly in undue restraint of interstate
commerce might cause a quickened
movement in the stocks on hand as
there can be no question that the in
tent of the~reported pool is to screw up
prices. Nor did the decision seem to
have a deterrent effect on the Sumatra
inscriptions as likely to eliminate one
of the most formidable competitors for
desirable American marks. For at yes
terday's inscription former high prices
were even overtopped. That a govern
ment monopoly like the Austrian Reggie
which could force its people to buy al
most any smoke it might see fit to Of
fer it, should overbid American buyers
and snap away from them the coveted
lot shows to what extent the merits OF
the Sumatra have become recognized,
and that an exhorbitant rate of duty is
not the most proper vehicle to reduce
it's price. Should not instead the fierce
monopolization of the Sumatra lead to
an international agaeement for the
adoption of our Sherman Antitrust

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, June

EDGERT0N, WIS.,, June 3, 1911.
This has been hurrying week with
tobacco growers who are devoting long
hours to the transplanting of the crop.
While most growers believe it a trifie
early for transplanting the crop to the
fields, they are compelled to hustle
along the work because the size of the
plants makes it imperative. The trans
planting is being done under favorable
conditions generally and but for the
damage being done to plants by cut
worms, which are quite troublesome on
some fields, the situation would be en-
tirely satisfactory.
There is but little change to note re-
garding the market for cnred leaf.
Stray lots in growers hands are being
hunted for thoroughly and taken over
whenever found The Rosenwald firm
has added few more lots to it's exten-
sive recent purchases during the week.
We learn that about 500cs of 10 were
secured of the, F. G.. Borden Co., also
the packing of Halverson & Bitters at
Stoughton B. Hardwick & Sons sold
them 48cs lot of '08. The trade gen
orally continues on small order basis.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

Growers are preparing ground for to-
bacco transplanting. With favorable
weather we shall not be surprised to
learn that few have set plants before
the close of the present week. A Hills
boro writer says that one farmer in
that section put in his plants ten days
ago. AS a general proposition, June
10th is plenty early. John Ellefson of
Franklin set ihalf-acre of tobacco
plants on Saturday last. He will finish
planting this week. So far as reported

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May %, 1911.
A large acreage has been set with
tobacco plants in the Connecticut val
ley the past week. Proportionatelly
greater progress has oeen made IN
transplanting shaded tobacco than in
starting tobacco which will be grown IN
the open.
Satisfactory progress is being made
in setting out the young plants for the
crop which will be grown in the open.
The season, while not positively behind
hand, can hardly be called early. Var
liable weather has prevailed in the Con-
necticut valley district the past week.

The Commonwealth attorney for
the state of Kentucky has filed three
suits in the Mason county circuit court,
two against the Standard Oil company
and one against the American Tobacco
company. We pass over the charges
against the first named company, but
in the suit against the American To-
bacco company it is charged that they
have been purchasing tobacco for less
than it's value and contrary to law and
against the peace and dignity of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky" The
suit is for $4,000 damages. 1t is said
that suits will be filed in other coun-
ties of the state where the company
does business. It appears to US as.
very untenable claim from standpoint
of law, and foolhardy charge to sue
for buying commodity below cost.
The American Tobacco company IS not
unlike 100 per cent of the human race

cheapest, irrespective of what 1T cost
to produce the article. What of the
farmer when he sells his other products
below it's value? Where and how is he
going to be reimbursed? If such claims
were upheld by the law the courts
would be so crowded that the CLAIMS
would never be heard and the law

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

To the observing public the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co. were not unprepared
for the decision of the supreme court
declaring it to be in controvention of
the Sherman antitrust law, for the Of
fcials for the past year or so have been
divorcing its integral parts and adjust
ing itself to new conditions. The busi-
ness of the American Cigar Go. and
the American Tobacco Co. in this state
has been operated as entirely separate
concerns, and even the different
branches of the Cigar Co. the past sea-
son conducted upon an Independent
basis, and frequently competing among
themselves as though they were IN no
way connected with the big trust. The
dissolution ordered by the court, there
fore, is not likely to cause any dis
turbance in trade circles for it allows
ample time for reshaping of the or
ganization. That tribunal takes into
account the vast interests which are
involved and gives reasonable time
for the company to get itself into har-
mony with the statutes. The United
States Tobacco Journal very pertinent
ly asks, "What are the reasonable
things permissible in restraint OF
trader" The decision does not lay
down any hard and fast rules for guild
e Ic
disappointing, except the court will
judge any transgressor by the rule of
reason. How can promoters, officers
of corporations, measure in advance
how the court will view their acts?
Every corporation is as much in the air
still as to whether it's methods and
practices conform to or are violation of
the statutes.

One of the most progressive tobacco
raisers in this section tells the Censor
of recipe to prevent ravages on new
ly set tobacco plants, and it would ap-
pear that it should be thoroughly tested
because of the reported serious work
ings of cut worms on vegetation. The
gentleman says he has tested the mat
ter and speaks from knowledge. Here
it is: When starting to set plants put
a teacupful Of turpentine in the first
barrel of water used for the setting.
After that use two tablespoonfuls in
each barrel of water. The same au-
thority says that if seed corn was dip
ped in turpentine it would have the
same effect, his theory being that the
smell produced in plants and seeds is SO
offensive to worms that they will not
attack them Viroqua Censor.

While the Supreme court in Wash
ington has set down on monopolles and
the intent to monopolize in restraint OF
interstate trade and competition, the
executive committee of the National
Cigar Leaf Growers Union is in ses-
son at Miamisburg with the avowed
object of commencing a monopoly
movement covering all cigar leaf to-
bacco to be grown this year in the
states of Ohio, Wisconsin and Penn
sylvania. Last Thursday local leaders
in this movement met here and drew
up pledge which is to be put to a
mass meeting Of the tobacco growers
of the Miami valley on June 10. At this
meeting it is expected that delegates
from York and Lancaster counties, Pa,
and from the principal growing sec
tions of Wisconsin will be present and
guarantee the cooperation of large
majority of the farmers raising cigar
types in their states. George w. Eek,
of Germantown, president, and Philip
Spence, of Lebanon, secretary Of the
National Cigar Leaf Growers Union,
say this will be the biggest pool ever
attempted in the history of tobacco
growing in the United States. u. 5.
