Hail and wind damaged the Connec-
ticut valley tobacco crop on July 18th
tothe extent of at least $50, 600. Heavy
damage is reported to tents on several
shaded tobacco plantations Had it not
been for the fact that the crop is un-
usually backward the loss, which in
many fields is slight, woua have been
enormous. Many growers whose crops
were damaged carried hail insurance,
and insurance companies who have
lately taken on hail insurance undoubt-
edly lost in the storm more money than
they will receive in premiums for sew
eral years. The storm was one of the
ever experienced. The damaged tents
were well secured in every instance,
but the force of the wind was so great
that in some cases big stretches of can
vas and poles were twisted into shape
less and hopeless confusion. The tents
afforded splendid protection against the
hail and hundreds of acres of shaded
tobacco in the path of the ice storm
escaped without leaf being damaged.
The hail was of unusual size and on
some plantations sections of tents gave
way under the weight of ice which
lodged on the covering. On one farm
unmelted ice was found at noon on the
day following the storm. Altogether
the experience was trying one and
the owners of thousands of acres OF the
weed which escaped nearly had heart
failure in the few minutes in which un-
certainty prevailed as to just where the
hail and wind were getting in their
work.

The attorneys for the American To-
bacco Co. in the action brought against
it by the Ware-Kramer Co. have filed
notice of appeal, and the case will be
taken to the supreme court of the
United States. A verdict of $4,000
was had, and, under the triple-damage
clause of the Sherman act, the plain
tiffs may recover three times the
amount of actual damage sustained.
This will be $50, ,000 to which is added
$4,000 attorneys fees.

The raising of shade-grown tobacco
in Alabama has attracted the attention
Of John Cudahy, the Chicago meat
packer. He has recently been elected
a director of the Alabama Sumatra and
Havana Tobacco company, and while
in Robertsdale, Ala, recently he pur
chased an 8O-acre tobacco farm for his
son.

The fact that laundries are today
getting much family washing Is due,
largely to the sanitary methods en-
ployed by the laundrymen. Also, the
laundries exercise the greatest care
In handling goods, with the result that
lew things are ever spoiled. In the

TO the preparation Of the different

One of the novelties put out by a

One of these Is furnace and the de-
sire for such equipment has proven
profitable for the Detroit manufac-
turers OF heating apparatuses. The
period OF prosperity has been helpful
to the makers OF hot air. steam and
hot water heating systems alike. While
four times as many steam and hot
water plants are being installed now
adays as formerly, there IL also big
demand for hot air furnaces. A few
years ago there was general preju-
dice against installing hot water or
steam plants In cottages or bunga-
lows, but time has changed opinions
and II is now a common spectacle TO
see hot water or steam pipes in the
smaller houses.
The product OF Detroit furnace

And In this connection II might not
be amiss TO suggest that some article

brass kettle or something OF the sort
In your residence. For, when the
brass junk Is brought to the smelling

HEAVY SHOE BUSINESS.

ST. Louis As Shoe Center.
Great progress has been made in
the past Is years In Detroit, In the
shoe industry. Once unheard or In
that industry. Detroit now ranks third
In the United States, st. Louis being
recognized as first.
There are now five plants here and
their products are sent to all parts
Of the United States. Situated In the
middle west, Detroit Is an ideal place
for the manufacture of boots and
shoes, manufacturers say, and II is
predicted that in a few years, this
city will rank next to st. Louis as a
shoe center. Chicago now holds that
position.
The shoes manufactured here are
OF the highest grade, and are made
| from the best material, much OF which
comes from this state. Detroit fur
nishes most of the boots and shoes
worn In Michigan.
Local manufacturers are forced "a
rely much upon Chicago and Milwau
kee, for the leather to be used in the
"uppers" and most of the material
used In the manufacture Of the lower
part OF the shoes, is shipped from
Kansas City and Omaha. There are
a number of big tanneries here which

Detroit In Few Years.
The making of paints for the auto
mobile trade has developed into big
industry in Detroit. The yearly pro-
duct of this department of different
paint works in the city has shown an
increase of about 800 per cent In the
past Ave years. The>-growth In this
branch Of the big factories has also
given employment to a large ad-
ditional force OF men, some plants
having doubled their number of en-
ployes.
About all the colors of the rainbow
are used for the painting OF automo-
biles, some factories having adopted
blue, others red and some white and
black as the distinctive shades for
their cars. 1t is high-grade of paint
which Is used on the autos, too, no

which go into the mixture for house.

but the ingredients are put through a

house paints no special preparation is
applied to the ingredients, they being

There Is almost as much distinction

Throughout the entire process in a

While every article is subjected TO

rare that anything is sent back for
