Sunday School Workers
Meet in HaWley

Besides the county Sunday school
convention which meets annually,
Wayne is divided into several sub-dis-
tricts which hold a meeting twice a
year. The Hawley district is circle
beginning at South Canaan, sweep
ing around to Lakeville, Kimbles,
Long Ridge, and back again to Ca
naan, including all the schools with
in the territory of whatever name
or denomination, probably eighteen
or twenty in number.
The last convention was held in
the Presbyterian church of this will
age on Wednesday, Nov. %. There
was not large delegation, but the
sessions proved very interesting and
profitable. The Rev. E. w. Morri-
son, of South Canaan, was presi-
dent, Miss Millie Tuthill was secre-
tary and Miss Name Snyder, treas
urer, both of Hawley. The Rev. C.
S. Smalley delivered speech of well
come a little out of the usual line.
Instead of the hackneyed words of
welcome he launched out into an ad-
dress upon the Sunday school as al
lied to matters educational, inspira-
tional and missionary. He dwelt
particularly upon the missionary
idea. 1t was warm and helpful ad-
dress in Mr.. Smalley's best vein.
Reports of various departmental
work of the schools of the district
and attention to items of business
completed the morning period.
The afternoon period was mainly
given up to open conference on
Cradle Roll work. This conference
was in charge of the county presi-
dent, DR.. Appley, of Damascus. The
doctor practices medicine as a voca-
| tion and follows Sunday school work
as an avocation. And he is an en-
thusiastic and we'll informed worker.
He withstood, with utmost compos-
ure and good nature, for more than
an hour, fusillade of objections and
questions, to the great delight and
profit of all present.
Mrs. F. L. Tuttle presented an ex-
cellent paper on Temperance and
furnished the convention literature
on the work adapted to Sunday
schools, published by the w. C. T.
u.
The evening was occupied with an
address by President Morrison who
gave a very glowing resume of the
State Sunday school convention held
recently at Newcastle, to which he
was delegate. There followed also
some statements by DIR. Appley of
the finances of the county organiza-
tion, to the funds of which this con-
vention contributed about ten dol
lars from its treasury. Then the
doctor suffered another volley of
questions after he had elaborated
Organized Adult Bible Glass work.
1t was a very profitable and en-
joyable session, and those who were
prevented from attending missed
many good things. 1t is likely the
next session will be held at Lake
ville.-Hawley Times.

Cupid Outspeeds Ocean Liner:
Wedding Follows Love At Sea-" is
the heading of a romantic story ap-
pearng in Sundays New York
American, in which Miss Carrie
HeIferich, a Honesdale belle, who
lives with her mother, Mrs. Julia Hell
ferich, 1918 West street, figures.
The story is as follows:
Cupid works swiftly these hustling
days of record-breaking and it did
not take him long to deal a hand in
his game of hearts to two Young
people who were passengers aboard
the Hamburg-American liner Penn
sylVan1a, which reached New York
from hamburg yesterday.
Dwight e. Price, vice-president of
the Rogers Wheel Company of Bos-
ton, boarded the steamer at Ham
burg on November II. He was on
his way home from Vienna in re-
sponse to message telling him that
his father was seriously i'll at No.
81 Massachusetts avenue, Boston.
Before the vessel was ten miles
from port he noticed Miss Carrie
Helferlch, young and pretty, talking
10 another passenger. Price was
smitten, and when Miss Helferich
went below he begged her compan-
ion to introduce him.
The next day Price found Miss
Helferlch in the music room. She
was playing the piano. Then and
there did Price introduce himself.
After dinner the couple met on deck.
ans then Price confessed that his
heart was his no more, and begged
MISS Helferich to marry him. She
told him that her home was in
pennsylvania, where girls make up
their minds quickly.
captain Russ was asked on the
following morning if he would marry
them. Such thing l have never
seen on my boat before" he said, Il
thlnk 1t would be best for you to
walt until we reach port" There
was no minister aboard, so Price and
MS sweetheart were forced to wait.
some OF the passengers learned
OF the match, and formed themselves
INTO the Pennsylvania Entertain
ment Club, got the ships printer to
print some engagement announce
ments, and then entertained the
lovers to champagne supper, at
winch Captain Russ presided - and
made a speech.
AS soon as wireless communica-
tlon was established with New York,
Price sent messages to his father in
Boston and Miss Helferich's widow
ed mother in Honesdale, Pa. A
woman passenger knew a minister
in Hoboken and as soon as the shin
reached her pier yesterday the pair
Jumped into taxi, sped to the City
Hall, procured a license and were
married in time for them to catch
train at noon for Boston. They
will return to New York next week,
and after visiting Honesdale will
start for California to spend their
honeymoon.
Miss Helferich, who went abroad
to visit relatives in Baden Baden,
admitted that it was case of love
at first sight.

liams when he arrived here to-day.
Williams took the package and soak
ed it several hours in water while he
attended to other business, and then
he took a penknife and gingerly
opened it.
The first thing he found was a
long piece of punk, evidently design
ed as fuse. Then he discovered a
match, and attached to the lid of the
box a piece of bent steel, fixed in
such a position that when the lid
was removed it would strike the
match. Beneath this was a lot of
powder of a peculiar sort, and en-
bedded in this powder were a num-
Der of bullets of about 22-calibre.
Inspector Williams at once turned
the powder over to a chemist, and
it will be analyzed carefully. He
also notified Postoffice Inspector
Cortelyou at Philadelphia, and a
search will be instituted to find out,
if possible, who sent the Internal
machine. Mr.. Williams said that it
is doubtful if this will ever be dis
covered, as beyond the fact that the
package was postmarked Philadel-
phia, there is no clew to the sender.

LANCASTER, PA, June IA, 1911.
The tobacco growers of Lancaster
county are having troubles of their own
getting the new crop into the field. The
seed beds were two weeks late on ac-
count of unfavorable weather, and then
the long drought prevented the grow
ers getting their fields plowed and har-
rowed. Some only finished this last
week. By the end of the present week,
however, the crop will all be in the
field, and it starts out under the most
favorable auspices. Ninety days is
about the time required for maturing
the plant in Lancaster county, and if
nothing untoward occurs, the cutting
will be over before the period of frost.
Careful estimates place the area plant
ed at about 1000 acres, which is about
all our growers can handle under exist
ing labor conditions.
The most encouraging feature of late
in the tobacco industry in this section
is the improvement in the cigar indus
try, and the manufacturers believe it
is permanent. Idle factories are reop-
ening, and factories working short
handed and on short time are increas-
ing their force of hands and working
hours. The demand appears to be for
cigars of the better grades, but very
little improvement being yet apparent
along the line of the cheaper goods.

NEW OHh, June i 4, 1S11.
After the squirt of animation last
week a lull has set in again in the leaf
market this week Odds and ends of
old stock are selling freely. But no
large transactions take place and could
not take place under prevailing condi-
tions except advance investments are
made in the new but not yet market
able crops. The market has plenty of
leisure to make a survey of and to
study the prospects for the fall season.
What concerns the market most is the
problem of how the manufacturer is
going to make both ends meet under
the high prices of every type of his
raw material. Neither in filler, binder
or wrapper stock will the manufacturer
be able to duplicate his supply at the
prices of last year. The binder situa-
tion will be harrassing one. And the
certain advance on that type will not
relieve him from paying the advance
also on the various filler types That
the new Sumatra rules higher than
ever before must have become clear by
this time even to the backward manu-
facturer And the high price of the
Sumatra will stimulate also higher
price for our domestic wrapper leaf.
The developments resulting from this
situation are awaited by the leaf mar
ket with no little anxiety Journal.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 13, 1911.
A few of the smaller Connecticut val
ley growers have finished transplant
ing, but the larger farmers have from
ten days to two weeks work ahead of
them. The young plants, both in the
tents and in the open, are making
splendid progress. Rain has fallen with
sufficient frequency to enable plants set
in the fields to get good start, and
has also kept the soil sufficiently moist
to expedite the work of transplanting.
These are the days in which the plants
are making root growth and when this
is completed the rapid progress above
ground will begin. Already enough
rain has fallen to preclude the drought,
which so often threatens the crop in
June.
The scarcity of help is pronounced.
Many Poles who were formerly avail
able have begun tobacco raising for
themselves. A large number of fine
Connecticut valley tobacco farms are
already owned by Poles and the num-
ber is increasing. In Suf6eld, Conn.,, a
SIS, 900 farm recently passed into Pol

EDGERTON, WIS, June %, 1911.
The transplanting of the tobacco crop
has gone forward so satisfactorily that
by the close of the present week very
little of the intended acreage will be
left implanted anywhere in the state.
There has scarcely been any delays
from lack of plants or weather condi-
tions since the work first began, so the
crop has the most even start ever ex-
perienced by the growers. We will
come nearer getting out the full acre
age this season than ever before in the
history of the state. The early fields
have taken on a remarkable growth
that gives promise of an early harvest.
Everywhere the trade in old leaf is
reported quiet with transactions invar-
iably of a small order nature. G. W..
Spitzner of New York has been looking
through the local markets during the
week and we learn that he has pur-
chased 150cs of the '09 packing of John
Soulman of GAINESVILLE and about 10Ocs
from country holders. An occasional
lot is still being lifted from first hands
in the country.
The shipments out of storage reach
but about 300 cases from this market
to all points since last report.

Water Street has not been g conse-

week, so far as domestic cigar leaf is
concerned. Nothing of Importance has
transpired, and the market situation
remains unchanged. The packers re-
port dearth of sales, but at the same
time they maintain that their position
is strong one, and that an ordinarily
active season among the cigar manu-
facturers will certainly necessitate
heavy replenishment of stocks. In the
country districts in which cigar leaf is
grown, good progress is being made in
getting the plants in the ground, and
the growing situation thus far is favor

Some interesting statistics on the
production of tobacco in Connecticut
will be obtained in the bulletin on the
crops of that state when it is issued by
the census office. The production in
creased lasgely between 1899 and 1909.
In 1899 the acreage was 1O,119 acres,
and in 1909 it was 1902. The total
yield for 1909 was %, 10, ,453 pounds,
valued at S4,416, 600. The average
yield per acre was 1852 pounds, valued
at 1915. 80. 1t is interesting to note
that the average value of Connecticut
tobacco in 1909 was less than 16 cents
per pound-15.8 to be exact.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Copious general rains which came the
latter part of the week, followed by
excellent growing weather, have given
a tremendous impulse to growing crops
and sent the recently set tobacco fields
ahead at an amazing pace. 1t is sell
dom that growers have witnessed this
crop start under more promising con-
ditions. The resetting has been COM
pleted and the fields present an even
stand of plants, all strongly rooted and
making fine progress. 1t is plain to
see that an early harvest is in pros
pect, so early in fact as to interfere
with other farm work, as the great
bulk of the crop was transplanted at
an earlier date than any previous year
in the history Of the state.

Several years ago an act was passed
in the Canadian parliament whereby
the license of firms or corporations en-
gaging in a monopoly might be revok-
ed. No action has ever been taken
under the statute, but since the de-
cision of the Supreme court in the to-
bacco case, the Canadian newspapers
have been suggesting that proceedings
be had under that statute with regard
to the American Tobacco Co.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-06-23

There is naturally widespread curl
rampant in the trade to learn how, in
what degree the American Tobacco Co.
will be re-created as ordered by the
United States Supreme court. To graf
ify this inquisitiveness and curiosity
irresponsible reporters with single
eye to fill space have set themselves
busily to work tapping from their i'm
agination the most sensational details
as to the manner of reorganization of
both the oil and tobacco companies and
presenting them with an assumed au-
thority as if they were not only in
preparation but in effect already. We
would warn the trade against paying
the slightest heed to the outpourings
of these self-constituted sensation mon
gers as it would be sheer waste of
time to take any of their gossipy out
pourings into serious consideration.
The recreation of the Tobacco COM
pany has been ordered to take place
under the sole supervision, advice and
approval of the Federal Circuit court
for the Southern District Of New York.
But the actions of Federal court are
strictly and rigidly kept secret till
the very moment the court itself is
ready to publicly announce them. Con-
sequently there is not the faintest hope
of the public or trade becoming ac-
quainted with the method and result Of
the Tobacco company's recreation be-
fore they will be sanctioned and re-
leased by the court itself. Nor can it
be expected that the advance news will
filter through from somewhere in the
American Tobacco Co., as such would
be highly discourteous to the Federal
court and breach of propriety which
might be resented by the court and it
is hardly probable that the Tobacco
company would take such a chance in
its present critical status merely to
oblige some sensation hungry reporter.

The Lancaster county growers are
already discussing the question of the
best manner to dispose of the crop
which is now being planted. The county
association hadaa meeting last week,
and among the questions discussed was
that of marketing the crop. II. c.
Reinhold, who opened the discussion,
said that one of the best ways for the
farmer to keep in touch with conditions
is to subscribe for the trade papers.
Mr.. Reinhold declared that it was none
too early for the growers to plan for
next fall. The grower should famll-
iarize himself with all the conditions OF
the market and make as much study
of it as he does the growth of his crop.
He emphatically condemned the prac-
tice of selling the green crop, holding
it to be an unfair method to both grow
er and packer, although many see op-
portunities for advantage in it. But
Just as manufacturers acquaint them
selves with the prospects of the sale OF
their products before they begin theil
manufacture, so should the tobacco
farmer be looking out for his sales from
the time he plants his crop. The asso
citation is and should be still more of {
help to the grower in this respect, anc
among the suggestions advanced by the
speaker to promote this end was tina
of the association subscribing for the
trade papers and keeping them on fil'
for purposes of information to the
members.
