SANTA CLAUS
WHISPERS
GOT SINGED

When Santa Claus made his ap-
pearance yesterday afternoon at the
John Roberts home at 76S State
street he had the misfortune to have
his clothing catch on fire from the
candles on the tree and 1t was
feared for awhile disastrous fire
might result
Those present, however saw the
danger of the situation, and soon had
the fire in Santa Claus clothing ex-
tinguished. In doing so they suf-
fered few slight burns, but they
were not sufficient to interfere with
the merry making.

PrOsser Teacher Comes to Oregon,

Frances WadswoTth, school teac her
at Prosser, Wash, has been granted a
certificate to teach In this state. Miss
Wadsworth entered the Farmingh am
Normal School at birmingham,
Mass. in 1868, and graduated from
that school in 1865. Since then she
has had a continuous life as a sch DOL
teacher, and with her advent in the

That the patient dies when his
physicians disagree is proverbially
true. No less true IS the adage when

. issue, under the caption, Advice
to Farmers. one counsellor tenders
advice directly contrary to that Of
fered by the other. Both doctors
are equally sincere, no doubt, but
both cannot be right. Whose pre-
seription is the tobacco grower to
take?
With our limited knowledge OF
the practical side of the handling of
tobacco it would i'll become us to
assume the role of arbiter between
the two. We can only suggest that,
after all, it is left to the individual
to decide for himself according to
his own experience and that OF 9TH

selling his product.
There Is Just word or two on

Up to a few years ago South Car
olina was regarded as a non-pro-

as a money crop" would have been
deemed foolish indeed. By expert
mentation, little by little, it was
found that the weed could be grown
proftably in certain parts of our
State and then came the question of
establishing market for diSpoSing

Without warehouses a local mar

irncture, when the culture Of to-
bacco was in it. infancy, the fate OF
the new money crop" hung ii the
balance. 1t was a critical period,
a stock in Il tobacco warehouse was
not at premium. In fact, among
business men it was regarded a. a
very precarious investment, the mat

uncertain. Thus the newly-dlscov-

saved by men of means building the

that has kept the building going,

Der that this is no ordinary busi-
