SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 3, 1913.
Transplanting operations in the Con-
necticut valley last week were accom-
plished under difficulties. Two fair
days were followed by two cold rainy
ones, then came the holiday and, final
ly, Saturday which was all that could
be desired. The ground was so cold
and wet by Saturday, however, that
many growers made no attempt to set
out plants that day. Plants in the
fields have practically stood still the
past week. At this stage, however,
progress is but slow under the most
favorable conditions, and it is probable
that something has been accomplished
in the way of root growth. The cold
weather was effective in checking the
growth of plants in the seed beds which
otherwise would have been approach
ing an undesirable size. The wet
weather cannot be construed as an un-
favorable omen so long as the growing
plants are not adversely affected. On
the other hand, severe drought at
this season has in some other years left
an impress upon the crop which it was
unable to outgrow. In general it may
be said that the 1918 crop has as yet
encountered no setbacks other than
those Incidental to the best crops ever
grown in the Connecticut valley.

Some of the local packers, but not
many, are still drumming up bargains
with what little remains of the 1912
crop. With tobacco about as good as
sold for ten cents to be had for from
five to seven cents, these packers con-
slider the chance for bargains too good
to throw away. And they are open to
them because of the limited number of
buyers among whom are none of the
representatives of the big concerns
that bought so heavily early in the sea-
son. 1t must not be forgotten that the
crops now being sold are crops, many
of them, for which their owners could
have had the regular market price dur
ing the active buying season had they
not wanted more than was being paid.
1t must be sore thing for these grow
ers to have to realize that they over
reached themselves so badly. And they
must suffer an extra pang when they
remember that they held out for more
by advice of the Lancaster County To-
bacco Growers association and kindred
organizations of farmers, instead of
taking the advice of their friends and
old customers, the packers. And just
here it might be we'll to insert, briefly,
the views expressed the past week by a
member of a prominent firm of packers
to the writer. He declared that the
growers are now beginning to realize
that our packers are their friends, and
not their enemies, seeking to swindle
them at every turn, as some mischiev-
Gus persons would have them believe.
The interests of packers and growers
are identical. and the sooner they get
together on more friendly terms, the
better for ALL

WISCONSIN, TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, June 13, 1918.
The growers are getting their work
shaped up so that the transplanting of
the new tobacco crop will become quite
general the coming week in nearly all
sections of the state A sudden drop
in temperature the fore part of the
week nipped with frost some of the
early set fields and even plant beds that
were not protected and is likely to
prove an embarrassment to growers as
there promises to be no surplus of
plants this season. A Vernon county
correspondent estimates that at least
per cent of the beds in that county
have been abandoned because of the
poor start. By the close of the present
month we should know more definitely
whether the intended acreage can be
placed in the fields or not.
There is no news to report concern
ing the movements of cured leaf in
local markets, though the eastern CEN
ters claim fair trade in certain lines.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases to all points from this mar
ket since our last report.

The people of the United States are
the greatest tobacco users in the world.
This fact is brought to public light as
a result of the treatment accorded to
tobacco duties in the Wilson Under
wood tariff bill. The per capita con-
sumption of the weed in this country
is six pounds. If only the males over
ten years of age are considered in con-
nection with consumption, the average
amount smoked. chewed or snuffed
would be sixteen pounds. Within thirty
years the consumption of tobacco IN
this country increased 250 per cent,
which in the same period that in France
rose 25 per cent, and In England SO per
cent.

Conditions in the leaf market remain
active. Demand for all kinds of avail
able leaf remains unabated and partic-
ularly SO for the varieties of wrapper
leaf. Both the Sumatra and domestic
leaf are selling in abundant quantities.
And whereas in the case of binder
stock scarcity has been manifested,
it is being helped out by the force
sweating of the new crop. Filler stock
is also moving in response to the in
creased demand. The Havana situa-
ton, however, is not yet clarified as
regards the new crop. In old stock
trading continues active. journal.

They say that half the battle for a
tobacco crop is won with the safe ma
turing of the seed plant beds, and if so,
this immediate section is pretty safe.
Plant beds, while effected somewhat by
the two weeks of real dry weather the
last of April, are in excellent condi-
tion, and transplanting will be under
taken within the next few days by
some of the growers in this section. =

then the sound indicated that it was
thrown over the banister, falling
with a crash in the hall below.
The old woman arose, put on her
dressing gown, opened the door and
looked out. She could see nothing.
There wasn't q sound in the house.
At that instant she remembered the
story told by the caretakers. This
occurrence was similar in every re-
spect. She went back TO bed ant,
after an hours nervous wakefulness,
managed to go tosleep. She was
the only person in the house that
night who heard that noise.
Next morning at oclock~a maid
coming downstairs to her work ut
tered apiercnig scream and fell in
heap at the bottom Of the stairs.
She was joined instantly by another
maid, and when asked what the
rouble was, pointed across the hall,
where lay young Templeton. There
was an army Of servants; a hurry
call for aid. The guests were aroused
and everybody in horror and con-
sternation awaited the verdict of the
physician.
1t was discovered that his skull
was fractured and that he had died
almost instantly. His right hand
was placed behind his head, as if to
support it; his left was raised, as If
to ward off some danger.
The Interpretation put upon the
incident by everybody was that
young Templeton had seen with his
eyes whatever the old lady heard
with her ears, and that he had died
in the attitude of fright, having fallen
back into the hall from terror at
what he had seen.

which has to do with the cost of the
smoke nuisance pictures tn. itemized an
nual bill which 'Messrs. Smoke and SCOT,
Unlimited" render to "Mr. People Of
Pittsburgh" The bill shows that the
smoke nuisance costs the people of Pitts
burgh about 500 per capital, or 100000
600. The figures for this chart are taken
from report, "The Economic Cost of the
Smoke Nuisance to Pittsburgh" which
has been issued recently by the smoke
investigation of the Mellon Institute Uni
versity Of Pittsburgh.

too. 1t made her feel like crying.
II was her first real sorrow, but
she buried it in her heart, not dar-
ing to trust the dearest friend on
earth to share it.
A year later they met again.
Eugene had spent the afternoon
shopping When she returned she
was told that the Admiral had ar
rived and would be at dinner She
rushed to her room and stood blush
ing before the mirror. She was a
child no longer, but woman with a
woman's heart and womans mind.
She dressed in an evening gown Of
pale yellow satin sprinkled with
splashes of delicate pink, She
brushed out her wealth OF brown
hair, and for the first time in her
life arranged 1t in a couture betit-
ting a woman. She had crossed the
bridge that divides the girl from the
woman-neyer again to return.
Her face was still flushed Her
heart was violently palpitating
when, trippingly, she descended the
broad staircase and entered the
library. He stood on the hearth rug
by the fire, his right arm leaning
careleSSly on the muute-iu his left
hand he held a letter.
He saw her as she entered, and
for a moment seemed startled, then
imMlsiyely stepped forward to meet
her. She wanted to ask him how
he was, or how he liked her hair
done mp" but she couldn't speak
not a word, nor could he. He took
her by both hands and drew her
gently toward the Ere.
My darling-my little darling
were the startling words she heard
as his arm stole quietly around her
waist Before she could answer,
before she could speak, footsteps
were heard in the hall. and a mo-
ment later the parents entered and
the perfunctory routine of the eve
ming began.
Eugene saw him draw his hand
across his brow. She thought she
saw a cloud pass over it: she was
sure she heard haltsmothered
sigh, and she was positively certain
that her own eyes were wet with
tears.
That was the only intimate touch
Of the evening. They did little but
look al each other during the dinner
and up to the moment when her
mother, more as a matter Of habit
than anything else suggested that
she retire.

Electricity to Make Cities Smokeless

STFHE Smoke nuisance" with which
so many large cities are afflicted,
has taxed the ingenuity Of invent
ors for years. At last there is prospect
of their sooty atmosphere being cleared
by means of a novel use of electricity.
The principle of this method is to charge
the SCOT particles with electricity, so that
they will cling together in masses, like
wet snowflakes, and fall into chamber
prepared for them, leaving only color
less gases to escape into the outer air.
The device consists of a precipitating
chamber for each chimney, with dimen-
sions OF about four feet in height by
three feet in diameter Tbs smoke e.
passing through this chamber encounters
a corona" discharge of electricity with
a voltage Of about $4,000 This is found
sufficient to separate all the SCOT from a
flow of gas amounting to 900 cubic feet
per minute.
The apparatus does not interfere with
the cnimney's draft to any appreciable
extent 1t collects all solid material. and
is said to produce small quantity of
ozone, which assists In purifying the
gases, which alone the chimney emits.
The worst smoke blight in this country
is that which afflicts the City of Pitts
burgh. A smoke abatement exhibit is
now in progress there. One of the illus
tratioDs shows that Pittsburghs SCOT for
one year weighs 42,6S5 tons, and would
make pile higher than the Washington
Monument.
A number of graphic charts call atteu-
ton to the effects of smoke on health
vegetation, weather, building materials
and the cost Of living. A large chart

knocked loudly at the door and sue
ceeded in arousing him. Breath
lessly and in terror they related to
the head keeper what they had
heard. The man listened patiently
to the recital of horror, then, throw
ing up his hands, he exclaimed;
"Hoot, mon, but it's q sair frecht
We must haze received, for ye're face
is as white as maud wife's dish
cloth Ah'n accompany we m'self to
the big hoose and We'll see what's
dam"
Encouraged by the strength and
fearless manner Of the head keeper,
the old folks tottered by his side
back to the mansion.
Rain was falling in torrents and,
as the wind was still blowing
gale, they found it difficult to get
back. The head keeper took the
key, opened the door, and the old
people followed him inside. They
followed the pathway of the sounds
along the corridor; they examined
the staircase from top to bottom;
they inspected the hall below, then
they searched the mansion-every
nook and corner of it, every hall and
passageway and. closet of it-but
found nothing, not a trace OF any
disturbance. The dust on the CORR
dor above clearly indicated that it
mad not been disturbed. The head
keeper laughed at their fears and
returned to his cottage. The old
people went TO bed and tried to
sleep.

Aye" she answered, an If All
he'd heerd them yed have thocht All

And she said:
ITS nae lichtsome. whatever

In the month Of August Of the
following Summer the old mansion
was alive with people. 1t was
house party. and guests young and
old had come from far and near to
take part in a reception to Edward
Templeton, grandson Of the Earl Of
Templeton, known among his asso-
ciates as Eddie" Young Temple
ton was q great favorite among the
younger set, and they were looking
forward to his arrival with genuine
and unaffected pleasure. The min
ute he sprang from his motor car
the young men grabbed him and al
most carried him of his feet in their

stood timidly waiting for his saluta-

1t was Springtime, and the air

Aorn foliage. The birds We're sing

expansive gardens there was a hum
f joyous life.
When she was seventeen he took
er to Princes for her first day

She was then in the bloom and
lush of young womanhood-a dream

,rown eyes were liquid love. They
lanced with JOY when he proposed

ime they be unaccompanied by

niral then, and still more distin-
uished, but they walked hand in
and as they did when she was four
nd he was thirty-six. He looked
ounger at Princes than he had

done knew the secret Of his buoy

She looked that day" the Admiral

The Adniral's Sweetheart.
BY Frederick Townsend Martin.

AS they sat slipping tea and laugh
ing like children, they were joined
by old Lord Kelmurry and the brill
liant Captain Cossant, who had just
returned from India. The wit and
charm Of the beautiful girl engrossed
the captain and made him linger
longer than the time allotted by the
canons Of good form. When The Adj
miral had automatically extricated
her and led her away from the gay
throng she looked up into his
bronzed, handsome face and poured
out her gratitude in words that sent
the blood coursing madly through
his veins. 1t wasn't merely the
words she uttered-it was the look
in those liquid eyes-the childish
pickering of the rosebud redlipped
mouth that thrilled HIM as he met
her gaze.
Dear child" he said as he took
her little hand in his big palm and
looked into the depths Of her eyes,
don't forget this day" Then, as
If afraid of his own words, he added,
mo, no, don't mean that; I mean
don't remember til" That night,
alone in her room, she sat wondering
what be meant. Wondering how
she could ever possibly forget the
happiest day of her life. In her
reverie she saw that face as he ut
tered the mysterious words. 1t was
full of something she had never seen
there before The voice was strange,
