LONDON, May 30-Eight months
of war between Turkey and the al
lied Balkan states ended when the
peace OF London was signed today
in the picture gallery Of St. James
palace Sir Edward Grey. British
foreign secretary. presided over the
formalities. The following peace
delegates signed the preliminary
treaty: Osman Miami Pasha, for
Turkey; Dr. Daneff, for Bulgaria;
Stefan Novakovitch, for Servia:
Stephanos Skoloudis, for Greece, and
NJ. Popovitch, for Montenegro.
The only dramatic feature of the
historic occasion was when NJ. Popo-
vitchs made expression Of keen dis
appointment that Montenegro had
been "despOiled of her just share of
the spoils of a triumphant war" and
the hope that England. which took
the lead ir this spoiIation" would
take every step to compensate Mon
tenegro for her sacrifice.
The actual ceremony was very
brief. The delegates signed the
treaty without reading, evidently in
full confidence that all seven articles
were Of such wording as the powers
chose TO have them.
The Bulgarian delegate proposed
that peace become Immediately eff
fective without ratificat ton of the
treaty. The proposal was rejected
and the delegates then left after a
agreement to meet on June to
consider the advisability of an event
ual annexed protocol.
After informing the ambassadoriaI
conference of the signing Of the
peace draft, Sir Edward Grey sug-
gested the conference limit the dis
cussions on the questions of a con-
stitution for Albania to the elimina-
tion of the southern frontier and in
structiOns to the governments re-
garding the constitution for Albania,
but the conference is working for
greater harmony and expects to con-
cIude its Iabors by The end of June.

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. 26, 1913.
Conservative estimates place the 1918
Connecticut valley tobacco yield at be-
tween so and 70 per cent of normal
crop. The weight of opinion is that it
will be nearer the former figure than
the latter. Newspaper reports that
the crop is "the best ever" and that
''thirty cents pound and even better"
is being paid for standing tobacco,
though widely copied, are utterly mis-
leading. A ride through any part of
the tobacco belt will convince the ex-
perienced observer that the effects of
the drought are real and not imaginary.
Thousands of acres are affected, or,
putting it another way, the acreage
which has not suffered in some degree
from the drought is nominal. Some
fields are hardly worth harvesting, and
in others the lower leaves of the plants
are yellow from lack of moisture.
Thousands and thousands Of acres of
tobacco, which by comparison with less
favorable fields make fine showing,
will be a disappointment in that the
weight will fall far below normal fig
ures.
Right here it should be put down in
large letters that the bright spot in
New England seems to be the shaded
crop. The present outlook is that the
1913 Connecticut shaded tobacco will
equal that of last year and may be
superior to it.
The buying movement continues,
most of the sales being made from sew
enteen to twenty cents pound in the
bundle. Better prices are said to have
been paid for few choice crops. Buy
ers are active but are not crowding one.
another in their efforts to acquire the
1913 crop. Moreover, there are signs
of discrimination which were not in
evidence last year when tobacco, good,
bad and Indifferent, was bought at
fancy prices. This year only the most
promising crops are in demand.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKETS
(C0uftnued From Pare ~

in view of the black eye Pennsylvania
tobacco already has, this will be most
unfortunate. There is big lot of to-
bacco that will turn out all right if not
cut too soon, or if not riddled by hail,
destroyed by the too numerous green
worms or nipped to destruction by an
early frost. The Havana seed, which
gave so little promise of making good
crop only little while ago, is now do
ing we'll and great hopes are entertain

"BARGAIN" IN HUMAN BLOOD.

1t is characteristic of fallen hu-
manity to try to get as much as pos
sible for as little outlay as possible.
That is why people once kept slaves.
Today we dislike the word "slav-
cry" nevertheless we cherish the in
stitution as highly as ever. We show
this by our eagerness for bargains"
which are the result of paying GER
tain workers next to nothing and
getting out of them every atom of
strength they possess.
When Colonel Roosevelt investi-
gated the conditions of the garment
workers, he was indignant to find
a girl, the sole support of a mother
and three young children, compelled
to make 36 kimonos a day in order
to earn Sc week. To do this, she
toiled desperately from 1880 in the
morning to O'Clock at night. Read
er, you and I are to blame for this.
The merchant, to meet our demand
for bargains arranges for goods
that can be sold at low prices, and
still yield a profit. The contractor,
or middleman, after taking out his
own profit, goes to the sweatshop
and offers the remainder to those
who must work or starve.
A few years ago a boss sweater
gave out the following as what he
received from a dealer for making
the articles named: Overcoats, rs
cents to $3.50; business coats. 32
cents to $3.50; trousers, 25 cents to
rs cents; vests, cents to 20 cents !;
knee pants, cents to 6 cents; cot
ton shirts, 2 " cents. to cents. The
wages to workers, expense of cart
ing, and boss sweaters profit are all
included in these figures.
ALAS that gold should be so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap"

THE EASTER CONGRATULATIONS

Easter day brings many unwonted
faces into the churches. Many men
will tear themselves from sweet Sun
day morning slumbers at the ungodly
hour of a. m. After scolding their
wives because their skirts were mis-
laid, they present Hurried appear
ance in an unaccustomed seat as the
voluntary rolls out from the organ.
Impressive music, spring hats of
1913 model, the general satisfaction
of seeing what the milliners and
dressmakers have done to your neigh
bors, these are some of the motives
for the thronged churches.
Nevertheless, the message that
Easter day brought to earth is the
greatest human interest story ever
told. 1t may sound hackneyed to the
man whose eyes are fixed on dollars.
But sometimes the veil of dross and
chaff in which the human heart is
shrouded is mucn thinned than one
thinks. Somewhere in every soul is
longing to know the purpose of the
Father in placing us in this world of
mysteries.

THE CASE OF THE CROW.

The bird editor of this newspaper
learns that the government is issuing
a new bird book IL which the value
of specific birds commonly deemed
harmful is discussed at great length.
The bird editor feels particularly
interested to see what Uncle Sam
bird which is outlawed by the major
ity of state legislatures, and has gen.
orally been considered fair game for
the farmers boy.
Bird experts say that the crow,
contrary to his normal nature in
wild life, has grown to acquire a
most exceptional sagacity. He lives
under constant apprehension, con-
sc'ousness of danger, and has ac-
quired an alert self-reliance that
makes him an interesting figure.
A farmers boy once told the writ
er about his dealings with Mr.. Grow.
When the boy tool. gun the black
pirates wheeled in wide circles far
over his head. When he went out
with stick they loafed in nearby
trees and jawed jeeringly.
One day he started out with the
wooden gun which he used in mill
tary rill in school, but the crows paid
no attention whatever. Their hunt
ed life has made them as elusive as
a city street Arab.
Recent ornithologists, admitting
that the crow pulls fresh corn and
destroys birds, say his diet of mice
snakes and beetles gives him a credit
to the good.
The crow finds that terminating
corn is softened and cooked. the
starch partly turned to sugar. H,
regards it as a kind of entree pre-
pared for his benefit. You can
make the farmer believe he is
friend. One agriculturist who placet
a large quantity of fish offal on hi
land as fertilizer said that the crow
dug it all up and ate the seed. H
could smell their breath all summe
as they flew honking over his dc
pleted fields. Still you can tar cor,
seed. If Mr.. Crow gets ahead of tn
farmer he has the better brain.

A New Law.

Under new law enacted by con-
gress approved by the president,
February 13, 1918, to break the seal
of a railway car containing inter-
state shipments OF freight, express
or baggage, or to steal or attempt to
steal any such shipments from a car,
depot, depot platform, steamboat or
wharf, is very serious offense, pun
ishable by fine of not more than
$4,000 or by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary not longer than ten
years, or by both such fine and i'm
prisonment; or who transport such
shipments from one state to another,
shall be deemed equally guilty with
the thief and punished in the same
manner. Cases of this character
will be prosecuted in the federal
courts. 1t is expected that the new
law will materially aid the authori-
ties in effectually breaking up the
organized gangs of freight car thieves
which operate in various parts of the
country.

Eat Meat.

No man who lives on meat was
ever known to lick his wife or ask
for divorce. Adam got into a row
right off because he had no hog
meat, butter or black bass. Ma
poleon lost Waterloo because the al
lied forces had bacon for breakfast
the morning of the fight. The
French had vegetable soup. No war
can be successfully waged without
hog meat.
Americans are the most frisky
people on earth because they eat the
most hog meat.
A vegetable diet woman is as cold
and clammy and unlovable as tur-
nip. If you wish to put roses in the
cheeks of your girls, vitality in their
every motion, and brains in their
heads, feed them meat.
If you want your boy to get job
and hold it, go to the front and
amount to something, give him ba-
con grease, ham fat or tallow, three
times a day.
The world is full lof cranks who
are always getting up some new fad
about hay soup or corn fodder tea.
