Three Races That Have Left Traces 81

Three Rates That Have Left Traces 81
Their Customs Behind Them.
Science has proofs OF the existence
Of several prehistoric races. but only
three or these have left traces Of their
customs behind them. These are Ho-
no Europeus. Homo Eurafricus and
Homo Eurasicus The first race IS e1-
bled the remains OF Neanderthal. His
forehead was low and retreating and
his eyebrows beetled.
Probably the second race journeyed
TO Europe from the north or Africa.
Their traces have been found on the
Thames. In Moravla. and in caves OF
different regions.
Sergy. close student OF human
origins. traces the second race 10 the
paleolthic culture of the Quaternary
epoch in the south OF France. In that
culture analogies with Mycenaean and
prehistoric Egyptian civilization are
found Some families Of the race may
have been inspired by their adventur-
Gus and artistic instincts to wander
onward out of their own land to land
specially suited TO the development OF
their dreams OF something that they
had never been able TO produce In
their own country. The geographical
| conditions. the climate and the natural
beauty OF the land they settled in may
have allured them and encouraged
them to develop their rude arts.
| The third race. Homo Eurasicus
came into Europe from western Asia
and It's members were the ancestors
of the modern European peoples

The growing crop is doing we'll, as
the weather has been in every way such
as needed for rapid development of the
late transplanting. The weeds have
kept pace with the tobacco in some
fields and farmers are busy cultivating
and hoeing There has been some sell
ing of remnants this week, with prices
ranging from 9 to 13 cents pound.
About a half dozen packings of the
1911 yield have been picked up by Mr..
Mack, who is here from New York, as
sisted by the local agent, Ed Simonson.
One would have thought that all the
tobacco in the country had been sold
some time ago, but there seems still to
be some remnants in the hands of
growers. Among the deals made this
week by Ed Simonson for his New
York parties are: Henry Holton, Ga at
9&11c; Iver Erdhal, 20cs 1906 at 13c;
c. J. G. Felland, 10a at &c; Thompson
& Hyland, 3a at &c; Sam Erickson, Ga
at SC; Ed Halvorson, 10a at &c.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, August 2, 1912.

EDGERToN, WIS, August 2, 1912.
The weather conditions have hardly
been as favorable for the growing crop
the past week as could be desired. Too
much rain has prevented growers from
cultivating the later fields which need
much tillage yet to promote satisfactory
growth and even the earlier fields need
a good deal of warm weather to bring
about proper development. Topping
of few early fields has commenced
and yet there is good deal of small,
uneven tobacco to be seen that needs
the best weather conditions to bring to
satisfactory harvest.
A quiet movement is under way to
take over more of the remnants of last
seasons crop at prices around former
quotations.
The market for cured leaf has again
lapsed into a moderate business in
small lots to meet the requirements of
manufacturers. There has been a good
deal of riding about the country dis
tricts of late, keeping tab on the con-
dition of the growing crop, but we
don't learn of any effort to 'start
something" by contracting for the
growing crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

NEW YORK, July 27, 1912.
A vacation air pervades the leaf mar
ket It looks almost deserted. Busi-
ness seems to be confined to necessi-
ties, mostly some stray wrapper leaf.
And it has all the appearance as if the
leaf market will enjoy prolonged holi-
day. The Havana seed
which is customarily the first to break
the summer vacation will not disturb
it's rest this year Most of it, that is
the most useful part of it, went early
in the season into the factories and into
consumption already. 1t was chiefly
resweated, and in that condition it had
to help out the scarcity of binder sup
ply. There is therefore no rush ex-
pected this season for Connecticut Sec
onds. And as the broadleaf will hardly
be ready for sampling before the end
of next month, the usual midsummer
thrush of buyers is not likely to mater
ialize this year.
Business among the uptown factories
continues to be very dull in spite of the
favorable weather of the past few days.
A large number of statesmen are on
their vacations and little improvement
is expected before the end of August
or early September. Among some of
the big west side establishments, how
ever, slight improvement is noted,
and orders are coming in in fair
amounts from the Western and New
England states. j ournal.

Weather of the past fortnight has
been right for tobacco development. The
late rains have brought on condition
that is scarcely possible. From the
field of former Sheriff Helgeson at
Purdy we have been shown stalk that

uring 25 inches long and IL wide. Ger
tainly the crop will be wonderful one

Up to date, no effort at buying is ap-

NEW YORK, July "a. 1912.

Considerable activity was reported
last week in Ohio tobaccos Of the 1909
crop, which had hitherto been neglect
ed by the packers. Apart from this,
interest has centered mainly upon the
condition of the crop in the various sec
tions in which cigar leaf is grown, and
in the past few weeks very gratifying
news has been heard from almost all
these sections. The harvest has COM
menced in Connecticut, and needed
rains have fallen that are helping to
bring about rapid growth of those
plants that got poor start. In Wis
consin about AZ, 900 acres are planted in
tobacco. This is about normal crop for
that state, but it is 5000 acres more
than were harvested last year. In Ohio
fair-sized crop has been set out and
conditions have been reasonably pro-
pitious. Lancaster has got a very un-
even growth, but there is possibility
of nearly normal crop.-Leaf.

And how would our cigar industry
fare under purely revenue tariff?
The present duty rates on cigars are
81. so per pound and Is per cent ad
valorum. Concededly very high rates
and purely protective rates and so eff
ficiently protective as to make the
quantity of imported cigars almost neg
ligible, amounting to only about seven
ty millions and coming all exclusively
from Cuba. True enough, under this
protection the American cigar industry
was born, nursed and grew into mag
nifcent manhood. But your tariff rev.
enue reformer is ready to say that an
industry which has been papped up for
some sixty odd years ought to have
gained sufficient nerve and muscle to
stand at least the worlds competition.
He will further say: AS protection is
unconstitutional in MS opinion and con-
viction the consummation of cigars
must be made source of revenue only
and the revenue from it can and will be
obviously largely increased if the duties
are fixed low enough to invite in our
market the competition of all cigar
manufacturing countries. Let us take
a look at the revenue tariff country
England There the duties on cigars
are only seven shillings per pound,
equivalent to 81. so in our market. And
if we apply the same revenue duty
here, German and Mexican cigars would
come in ship loads full and enrich our
treasury. Whether ir would put out of
commission most of our own domestic
factories, whether it would lay bare
most of our own tobacco fields, wheth-
er it would reduce wages all along in
these Industries and drive thousands of
people out of them would not be a
question for your true and full-blooded
tariff reformer. His concern would
simply be to his principle and convic-
tion to legislate out of existence all and
every protective feature in the tariff
as unconstitutional. This is the issue
in the presidential campaign which we
beg to submit to the trade to ponder
over carefully and conscientiously. And
it is the issue likely to succeed because
of the unwarrantable butting in of the
Bull Moose"

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


Topping should commence as soon as
the buds show we'll above the surround
ing leaves, and if the tobacco is quite
late the plant should be topped as soon
as the buds can be gotten hold of.
There are several advantages in early
topping. First, the plant at the time
when the bud appears is growing rap
idly and if topped at this time will con-
tinue to grow, causing the most COM
plete development of the upper leaves,
most desirable result to accomplish.
Second, several days time is saved in
the time required to mature the plant.
Third, the large amount Of substance
which goes into the Towering top and
top leaves in late topping is diverted to
the other leaves by topping earlier.
Fourth, in early topping the plants are
far less liable to develop suckers.
Fifth, by breaking off the top when
small the height of the plant is kept
down, thereby lessening the liability of
being blown fiat by heavy winds. In
animal and plant life, maturity is eff
fected before reproduction commences,
hence the conclusion that with the to-
bacco plant in blossom the leaves have
almost entirely ceased to grow, and
natures supreme object being repro
duction, she exerts herself to accom-
plish her ends by producing suckers
upon which to grow the seed after the
top of the plant has been broken off,
SO that little change is made in the
leaves except the ripening process.
Nothing is gained by topping late and
much is lost by neglect in this matter.
"a
The prospects of tariff changes as
effecting the tobacco industry are thus
discussed in late issue of the N. Y.
Tobacco Journal: The plain and unvar-
nished meaning and purpose of tariff
for revenue only is to impose and col
lect duties only for what revenue they
may yield to the government and not
to shape the revenue rates in any way
or manner as to afford even an Incl
dental or casual protection to the home
manufacturer and producer. The very
idea of even an incidental protection
for any home commodity, whether
raised on the farm or produced in any
mill or factory, is an eyesore and al
most objectionable offense to the true
blooded doctrinaire of tariff for rev.
enue only. And as the sole object of a
purely revenue tariff is to get revenue
only regardless of any and all other
considerations. it is but logical con-
sequence that the lower the tariff rates
the larger the revenue. If, therefore,
our tobacco farmers and cigar manu-
facturers cling to the hope and eXpec-
tation that even under revenue tariff
they will have nothing to fear because
a revenue tariff must also impose du-
ties on tobacco and it's products for
revenues sake, we beg to call their at
tention to the treatment tobacco and
its products receive under the model
revenue tariff of England which the
Democratic party is anxious to copy
into our own statutes according to it's
recently adopted Baltimore platform.
And how would our cigar industry
fare under a purely revenue tariff?

BEATING SAVES MANS LIFE
Electrician Pronounced Dead by Ply
sicians Is Restored by Ambulance
Attendants After Getting Shock.

San Francisco, Cal-An hours
heroic treatment brought back signs
Of life here into the body Of Bert
Edgar, an electrician, after he had
been pronounced dead from a shock of
1900 volts of electricity. Besides the
shock. Edgar was suffering from a
fractured skull, received when the
electricity threw him from a platform
ten feet above the cement floor of a
basement of downtown Office build
Ing.
When the accident happened a
physician in the building pronounced
Edgar dead. Herman Kresmayer and
Adam Baker, ambulance attendants,
decided. however, that the cessation
! of heart action was due to the terrific
shock and might be restored.
Baker and patrolman ran Edgar's
apparently lifeless body I'D and down
the street, with the feet touching the
pavement, while Kresmayer struck
him about the chest and shoulders
and all three shouted continuously
into his ears.
After an hour of nearly continuous
treatment Of this sort, Interruptions
being caused by well-meaning passers
by, who thought Edgar was being
beaten up, Edgar showed signs of life
and was rushed to the hospital He
was found to have a good chance tc
recover.
