The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-08-23

The bitter experience with the 1906
crop is not so far away that dealers
have entirely forgotten it, and yet the
average prices paid for this seasons S
crop are higher than those that pre-
vailed that year when the entire crop
looked promising. Neither is the craze
Of field buying confined to Wisconsin.
Already the bulk of the New England
crop is under contract at higher prices
than any crop in recent years has
brought. 1t requires no astute reason
ing to foreteH what might happen if
things do not turn out we'll before de-
livery day. If for any reason the crop
does not come up to expectations there
will be a surprisingly large number of
sick buyers or. disgruntled growers, ac-
cording to whether the former carry
out or repudiate their contracts. At
least it is the farmer who is not taking
the long chances on the gamble, for he
cannot lose SO very much if compelled
to take low grade prices for his crop if
it does not come up to contract require
ments, while if he makes the promised
delivery he is sure of fat returns.
Trust the Wisconsin tobacco grower to
know when his best interests are con-
cerned.

The buying of the new crop in the
fields goes on apace though to many it
seems that the limit for the price for
Wisconsin binder leaf has about been
reached. The effect Of boosting the
prices in some localities has been to
drive out of the field all but the repre-
sentatives of the large manufacturing
firms who buy from first hands. The
small operator certainly has no chance
for his ''little white ally" if he stays
in the game. Much of the tobacco con-
tracted for since the market opened
has been on a basis of 20 to Fl cents
cost year hence without any profit or
some of the carrying charges added. It
is possible that the figures paid in the
northern sections may have the effect
of blocking the market for the time
being, at least some of the conserva-
tive tobacco men consider the entire
movement the widest gamble ever un-
dertaken in this state. Some, however,
undertake to account for it on the
theory that the firms interested are
taking long bet that not over rs per
cent of the crop would ever reach
satisfactory harvest, in which event
outside figures might be justified. Ger
tainly the prices being paid growers
are the highest ever handed out for the
choice selections in Wisconsin.

PRESIDENT A. D. G. L. HERE.
Construction on That Line to Begin
Within a Month.

Jake L. Hamon accompanied by five
other persons were here over Sun
day at the Wilmington hotel. Mr.. Ha-
mon stated that he had nothing to
give out concerning the building OF
the Ardmore, Duncan and Lawton
railroad, that it was one thing to
dream of building road in Okla
homa and it was quite another thing
to rise the money to do the building
with. Mr.. Hamon disclaimed any
knowledge of the surveyors that are
working out west of this town. He
said his own surveyor was with him
on the trip and he had nothing to do
with the crew here. While Mr.. Ha-
mon made no statement it was learn
ed that he feels confident the road
will be built and that construction
work will be in progress within the
next month.

There is a story told of the First
Napoleon in one of his famous bat
ties. The old guard had been beaten
backward, and his bravest generals
advised him that the only safety lay
in retiring from the conflict. Ma
poleon called to, a drummer boy who
had followed his fortunes from the
streets of Paris, and sadly said. Beat
the retreat" Inspired by the emf
nent danger to the arms of France,
the boy faced his leader with flash
ing eye-"Oh. sire" he said, 81 can
not beat a retreat. In your glorious
career of victory, your drummers
have never learned it. But | can beat

beat that charge at the Bridge of Lo-
di, at the Pyramids, and at the Aus
tralitz. Oh, sire, may beat it now?'
Thrilled by the devotion of the sim
pie drummer lad, the great command
er had one of his flash-like inspira-
tions which earned for him the title
of military genius, and ordered
general advance. The old guard
moved forward, like a glittering wall
of steel, to the furious music of the
youthful drummer's inspiring charge.

the eagles of France.
Let us resolve anew, on this pat

neer who is trying to live plainly and
work hard and settle up the vacant
land and who finds money about as
scarce as other people do in a new
country. The big corporations in the
cities occasionally get so much money
on hand that they are ashamed to

leaving Denver an inquiry came to
Mr.. Clark, the general attorney of
the company, asking him what he
meant to do in the so-called Grand
junction rate case. Would he abide
by the decision already rendered or
fight the matter in the courts at
length, as corporations have some
times been known to do? His an
swer was that there would be no fur

tion was to be benefited by the re-
ductiOn in rates she would get the
benefit now; that the company might
fight the case and win it, but it was
not good business policy to fight with
your friends If it could be avoided.
This illustrates how, If people
knew each other better, a great deal
of the misunderstanding that now eN-
lists might be cleared away. This is
not only true of the people of the
state but of the whole country. The
American millionaire, for example,
has come in for large share of abuse
in recent years. We had grown to
believe that the rich of our country
were lacking in those high qualities
of manhood and womanhood which
we admire. Recently, a great nation
al disaster proved how greatly we
were mistaken and how little we all
knew of the true greatness of the
American citizen, rich or poor.
The story of the sinking of the Ii

as the peerless queen of the sea, was
speeding to port through the night

her path there drifted a ghostly, mist

ways of the frozen north by primeval
forces More terrible than dread

course and, at "A touch, shattered that

Among the injuries to health caus-
ed by ''lacing" are backache, weak
spine and Indigestion. Constant
pressure in the hollow or small" of
the back irritates the delicate nerves
centered in the spinal column. These
nerve wires are impeded in trans
ferring messages to the brain and the
entire nervous system is thrown into
disorder. Depression, sick headaches
and hysteria often originate in the
tight waist.
Unusual and constant pressure on
