PEACE AND WAR.

Every citizen of Alma should hear
this address by Mr.. Hamilton Holt,
which will be given in the College
Chapel next Saturday evening. The
lecture will be free and no collection
will be taken.
Mr.. Holt, who is editor of one of the
greatest weekly papers in the world,
the "New York Independent" is a
man who at forty-two is a world
leader in the peace movement, and is
one of the best known of Americas
public men. A graduate of Yale, with
three years graduate work in sociol-
ogy and economics in Columbia, he
has had splendid preparation for his
life work. In 1909 he was decorated
by the Emperor of Japan with the
Order of the Sacred Treasure because
of the work he had done in promoting
peace and friendship between Japan
and the United States. In 1911 he
was president of the National Peace
Congress. He is trustee of the
American College for Women at Con-
stantinople, and a director in the
World Peace Foundation, founded with
an endowment of a million dollars
by Edwin CHM of Boston.
AS a representative of the Worlds
Peace Association, he is lecturing, as
his editorial duties permit, before the
colleges and universities of the coun-
try. He has lectured before about
one hundred college audiences. His
trip to Michigan is due to an engage
ment to speak at the State University
on Sunday, November Goth. Alma Col
lege was fortunately able to secure his
services for Saturday evening, and the
President and Faculty are glad to
share this privilege and opportunity
with the citizens of Alma and vicinity.
Everyone is invited to be present.
Come yourself and urge your friends
and neighbors to come.

LADIES, DO YOU WANT TO HELP?

Winter is coming, the cold and hun
ger will bring suffering and sickness
to hundreds of thousands of soldiers
and refugees. You can help to keep
somebody warm by spending your
spare time knitting military scarfs,
abdominal protectors, writslets, socks
and stockings. The women of France,
Germany and England are knitting
and American women are doing their
part. This is your opportunity!
A committee has been formed here
in Alma with the idea of contribut-
ing to this cause. Those wishing to
donate money to buy yarn and needles
and also to aid the fund, will find con-
tribution boxes placed in the drug
stores and the East Side Grocery.
However, knitted articles will be much
appreciated and yarn, needles and di-
rections will be furnished free of
charge to you who are willing to help.
Members of the committee will en-
deavor to call on you personally, but
it will be great help if those espe-
cially interested will call up the under
signed heads of the four wards.
(Signed)
Bernice Pollasky, First Ward.
Mary Sharp, Second Ward.

The third of November, 1914, will go
down in history as a second Indepen-
dence Day for the four great sovereign
states of Colorado, Oregon, Washing
ton and Arizona, for on that day by
the vote of the men and women people
they forever declared their emancipa-
ton from the legalized liquid traffic.
tion from the legalized liquor traffic.
The victories of this day mark a new
reform, for they demonstrated beyond
dispute that the women voters of the
nation have determined to use their
franchise rights to abolish from this
nation the sale and manufacture of
alcoholic liquors. The result of the
vote on the question of the suffrage
amendment in Montana and Nevada
is hardly less a victory over the liquor
to be the only really formidable oppon-
to be the oily really formidable oppon-
ent of the "votes for women" move
ment in these two campaigns.
The four new prohibitions states
cover an aggregate territory of nearly
100000 square miles, and represent
population of nearly 100000.
With their accession, fourteen states
now have either statutory of consti-
tutional prohibition, Virginia having
on September % last adopted prohibi-
ton by majority of over 10000.
These fourteen states have an aggre-
gate population of nearly 100000 or
approximately one-fifth of the popula-
ton of our country. Over 100000
people live in no-license territory, and
the area of the prohibition states COM
bined with the saloonless territory in
other states comprises more than
three-fourths of the country.
In all of the four states voting on
November 3 the amendment was sub
mitted to the people through the
initiative. Petitions were circulated
among the voters early in the year,
and the campaigns have been in full
swing during the summer and fall.
The victory was achieved through the
united efforts of all the temperance
organizations of the country. The
educational work of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in past
years prepared the way by making
sentiment for prohibition among those
who are now voting citizens. The
white ribboners of the various states
have been tireless in every form of
activity during the last few months;
their speakers and workers have fear
lessly covered even the most difficult
and dangerous sections of the states;
they have faced dangers by sea and by
land; they have toiled far into the
hours of the night; they have sacri-
feed not only leisure and Injuries, but
comforts and necessities. They have
fought good fight, and they have
been gloriously rewarded in the VIC

Business continues to be of hand to
mouth character, occasioned by manu-
facturers supplementing their stocks
by securing tobacco of which they are
in immediate need No large buying
operations are in sight, but as this
week sees the new packing Of Wiscon-
sin and Pennsylvania come on the mar
ket, great many buyers from. the
West are expected, and the next week
may possibly witness extensive buying
of the two types mentioned.
Sumatra. importers continue to re-
ceive from abroad large stocks of Su-
matra, this years imports being larger
by nearly 5000 bales than the quantity
imported within the same period of
last year. Importers say that manu-
facturers continue quietly to buy Su-
matra that suits their needs, and the
volume of business done has been con-
siderable.
Havana. = Some of the houses who
specialize in small lots report fairly
brisk business. Generally, however,
trade is dull, both here and in Havana.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 1914.
While the leaf market feels greatly
relieved at the escape of the cigar in
dustry from being burdened with an
additional tax which would have had
some depressing effect on leaf trans
actions and while the market is bearing
with stoicism the additional burden of
p license tax, it was rather most dis
ogreeably disappointed in the provision
of 5O-cent stamp tax for every GUS
tom house entry and withdrawal entry.
In the aggregate, the stamp tax will
amount to a very considerable sum
which will have to be borne exclusively
by the leaf importers. The latter,
however, expect and reasonably so that
their customers will not order them to
withdraw merely single bales in one
entry. The activity Of the market
keeps up in fair proportions. The an
nouncement of one of the biggest and
most reliable packing houses that their
samples of 1913 Wisconsin are ready
for commercial inspection cannot but
prove most welcome to cigar manufac
turers, who are in dire need of that
most desirable binder stock, the scare
ity of which has been pronounced for
almost the entire year. With the Wis
consin in marketable condition trading
in it will undoubtedly become exceed
ingly brisk. The demand for Sumatra
continues to be in the ascendency
Prices so far do not seem to have ad
vanced proportionately but are likely
to rise gradually. In the Havana mar
ket the situation remains unchanged. =

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, Oct. 2, 1914.

EDGERTON. WIS, Oct. 2, 1914.
The shedding of the new crop is now
finished and good to say this has been
done without any frosts. Good curing
weather continues.
There is a quietness in tobacco doings
that always marks this season of the
year, and consequently little to report.
The only buying of the new crop COM
ing to notice lis being done by local
packers here in the Lodi district, but
at that purchases are few and the
price is kept under cover.
Packers are in the midst of the
sampling season and it will be some
days before the end
In old goods there is nothing of i'm
portance to report.
Shipments oat of storage from this
market to all points for the week will
not exceed $50 cases.

LANCASTER, PA, Sept. 81, 1914.
Packers are quite unanimous in eX-
pressing the conviction that if it were
not for uncertainty existing in all lines
of trade the tobacco business would be
satisfactory. AS it is, it has hardly
been even fair during the week. At
the same time the reports received by
firms having out travelling representa-
tives seem to indicate that conditions
will improve from this time on, as the
financial state of the country has be-
come more settled.
The complaint among the packers OF
Lancaster county the past year or more
is that their trade has been mostly OF
a iobbing character, big transactions
having been few and far between. This
was the case even when the cigar in
dustry was on the boom, which IS not
the case at present. The manufactur-
ers got into the practice of buying In
small lots. There is no scarcity in old
goods, though the packers are not over
stocked. There are more 1911 and 1912
goods on hand, seemingly, than had
been reported, and there are numbers
of dealers who would be able even now
to meet call for considerable amount
of such goods The manufacturers can
not complain that tobacco is too high
priced, for goods of the years named
are selling all the way from 141 to 16
cents, with something extra fine going
a cent or two higher.
The 1913 packing is now receiving
the attention of the trade, if numerous
inquiries are any indication, but as yet
very little has been sold. So little in
fact that it is still question what the
price is to be. Probably it would be
better to say prices, for it is of such
varied quality that no standard price
can be established The holders of
these goods are quite confident of its
quality for binder purposes, and they
are hopeful of ready sales as soon as
the condition of the general market
tones up.
The growers have had frost scare
lately, and the result was that more
tobacco was cut that was not fully ripe
than the packers care to think about,
which means that lot of tobacco of a
very splendid crop generally will not
be what it might otherwise have been.
