LANCASTER, Pa, July 8, 1917.
The weather the past week has beer
ideal for the growth of the new tobac-
co crop, and the progress it has made
has been of the most satisfactory char
acter. The young plants look fine anc
could not be in better condition. Sc
far only few districts have been af-
fected with that pest, the cutworm,
and even there their ravages have not
been so serious as to occasion any
alarm. Hail fell in small quantities
last week in the vicinity of Rohrers.
town, but the small size of the plants
prevented any material damage being
done.
With good profits right at hand, anc
the knowledge of warehouses now filleC
with the packings of several years, the
growers see lower prices looking them
in the face this year. And lower prices
are what the dealers are hoping for,
along with revival of trade.
Trade is what the packers are pray
ing for, and the sooner it comes the
better. There has been very little
around here for some months, and the
past week showed no improvement,
though the prospect Of early improve
ment is seen in the stirring of the cigar
industry throughout this district. The
Improvement appears most marked IN
York county, where more cheap goods
are made than in Lancaster county,
but even in our county the outlook is
encouraging. Very few idle factories
are to be found now.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, July IL, 1917.
Local showers have relieved the
drought situation in most of the tobac-
co growing sections of the state during
the week. Growers have also improv-
ed the opportunity to finish the trans
planting of about all the intended acre
age, though between the cutworms
and the hot, burning sun of an ex-
tremely hot week it has been rather
difficult to secure satisfactory stand
in the fields. The early set portion of
the crop is making some wonderful
strides and some of the most forward
fields nearly cover the ground between
the rows Altogether the situation
strikes about an average of other years
at this date.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 2, 1912.
Rain is urgently needed in the Con-
necticut valley. Late tobacco, espec-
tally, what was planted in comparative
Il. dry soil, must receive moisture OF
suffer seriously. Early-set tobacco,
which had an opportunity to make root
growth before the drought, generally
speaking, is in good condition.
Cutworms have been more trouble
some this year than for decade. In
some towns acres of plants have been
Topped off by the energetic pest. Re-
setting of plants killed by cutworms is
causing many fields to have the appear
ance of uneven growth.
AS one rides up and down the valley,
tobacco fields present widely different
appearance. In some fields the plants
are eight or nine inches high, and IN
others not more than two inches.
Transplanting was practically finished
last week. Tent-grown tobacco as a
whole looks rather better than crops IN
the open.
Buyers have again been in Suffield,
Conn, the past few days trying to OBJ
tain options on the new crop. Growers
do not care to tie themselves up at the
present stage, and unless fancy prices
are offered the number of sales of to-
bacco in the field is likely to be limited.
Thus far efforts to buy in the field have
been confined to primed Havana.

New YORK, July 6, 1912.

In spite Of the break in the routine
business caused by the Intervening hol-
iday, the leaf market continued fairly
active. Those houses that do business
with the large cigar manufacturing
concerns do not seem to feel any pinch
from the diminished output of our cigar
industry. Evidently the large concerns
are keeping, not only their own, but
are continually making inroads on their
smaller competitors. The loss in the
cigar output will, therefore, have to be
credited mostly to the latter class.
Nevertheless, trading in leaf seems to
be more normal than usual for this
generally accounted as the dullest sea-
son of the year in the market. The de-
mand for Sumatra continues steady and
so also for other available wrapper
types.
On account of the fact that the 4th
of July fell in the middle of the week
this year the majority of the cigar fac
tories shut down for the entire seven
days. Jobbers report that orders are
coming in more briskiy from seaside
and mountain resorts and they are con-
|sequently doing nice business. journal.

Business, both here and in the Mid
die West, is quiet, the usual midsum-
mer dulness prevailing. The jobbers
in the Middle West, however, are well
satisfied with the volume of business
they have done in the past six months.
Prices for raw material remain high,
and in binders, which are scarce, there
is a perceptible advance.

on this order having the corsage made
entirely of tule veled with lace. while
the underskrt and panniers are carried
out in crepe de chine. Another evening
frock of two materials is made with
bodice and panniers of fancy striped silk,
accompanied by a net skirt made in three
fiounces with net dra perry giving a double
pannier suggestion. Small artificial flow
ers are used for trimmings.
A frock for a debutante is developed In
fine white tulle and crepe de chine The
crepe de chine falls in soft folds at the
back of the skirt. and is inset in front
with file cream lace motifs. Bretelles of
the lace continue the graceful line upon
the corsage. the whole being covered with
a drapery OF clear, fine tulle.
A pretty chiffon dancing frock with
short drapery and wide girdle is trimmed
with metallic lace and small wreaths of
satin flowers.
Coiffure ornaments show off the present
mode Of hairdressing to excellent effect
A very pretty bandeau to be worn low on
the forehead is composed of three rows of
bright green beads posed on black velvet
ribbon, while another is made of gold net
with a design of blue flowers running
through the center. A single row OF
pearls brought well down over the raised
hair Is pretty for young girl, while for
blue enamel wings studded with tiny bril-
liants. Plumes and feathers are worn
by the mature woman, and are more dig
nified and becoming to her than the very
youthful filet of pearls. Soft tufts of
marabout are effective in white hair.

Directly across the road from Battery
Parrott is a beautiful villa. owned and
lived in by Mrs. Walter Brown. This
was part of the estate of John II. King.
whose old house, remodeled, may be seen
farther down the valley.
Along the road The Star man fell in
with an old man. He was John Horrigan.
He had been living in that neighborhood
for sixty years and had worked for King.
Horrigan's brother was the venerable
watchman at the Naval Observatory, who
was known to all visitors there and who
died about two years ago.
Further along you come to where Bat
terry Cameron stood. You turn to the
right from the Ridge road in the rear Of
the homeseat of J. Jerome Lghtfoot- The
contour of the land and it's wide pros
pect will tell the soldier where this bat
terry was planted. but Mr.. Lightfoot, an
affable man, will point out to lay pill
grims the lines occupied by this earth
work. The panorama from the Lightfoot
hill is at least as fine as can be had from
any other point in the District of Co
lumbia. 1t looks out over the valley OF
College branch, sweeps across the river
and over the crest of the Virginia pali-
sade till the view is bounded by the blue
and purple haze shrouding Virginia s
distant hills. 1t looks south far down
the river and the eye can trace the upper
Potomac valley for miles. Cameron had
one of the great positions in the line of
Washington's defenses.
This place was carved out of the Muir
dock estate of White Haven and bought
by Mr. Lightfoot soon after the close Of
the war. 1t was then that he leveled the
earhworks. Mrs. Lightfoot recalls that
at one time the commanding officer of
Battery Cameron was Maj. Sabine of the
18th Maine Artillery and also that an
uncle of hers, Charles Moore Of the 1st
Maine Heavy Artillery. and who was
killed in the wilderness, was encamped
on the grounds she now lives on.

that prompts many questions. all of
which do not bring forth satisfactory
answers. 1t has been hanging on the wall
in that office so long that the oldest en-
ploye of the department scratches his
head while trying to think how 1t got
there or whence it came. 1t has come to
be looked on as an heirloom of the de-
partment Many superior persons criticise
the art of the sign but none questions the
truth OF the legend or its appropriate
ness to the place in which it hangs. The
legend Is this:
Agriculture est la Base ct la Force
de la Prosperite du pays.-Napoleon.
agriculture is the foundation and the
strength Of the prosperity of countries,.
The letters are tall and narrow and or
namental, or at least fantastic. Some of
the words are spelled II letters of various
tones of red touched with gliding and
other words are spelled in letters of deep
and brilliant blue. 1t is in mahogany
frame On the right it Is fianked BY two
enormous photographs, one representing
an orange or olive or some other kind of
grove in a fruitful valley under the lea
of snowy, cloud-wrapped mountains and
the other represents three Hindus posing
for their picture under a monster shelter
ing palm.
Mr.. Arnold has another motto in his
Office. 1t Is conspicuously displayed on his
desk and all the newspapermen who deal
with his division Of the department say
he lives up to the motto 1t is this:
Il shall pass through this world but
once. any good therefore. that / can do.
or any kindness that I can show to any
human being. let me do IL now; let me not
neglect nor defer it. for l shall not pass
