A PUZZLE.

We borrow from the New York
Press the following instructive his
tory of head Of cabbage:
This head of cabbage is grown by
a small farmer in Connecticut, who
gets cent and haif for it. 1t first
goes to the commission merchant,
who lives on Riverside Drive, pays
$4,000 year for his apartment,
keeps an automobile and spends
$4,000 year. Next the cabbage is
sent to the wholesaler, who lives on
West End Avenue. in an $1,000 apart
ment, keeps an automobile and who
spends $4,000 a year. Thence the
cabbage goes to he jobber, who lives
in a $1,000 apartment on upper
Broadway, keeps an automobile and
spends $4,000 a year. From him the
cabbage travels to the retailer, who
lives in a $700 apartment on side
street, has a corner store for which
he pays $25 a month rent, keeps two
delivery wagons at a cost of $40 per
month, and spends $1,000 on his liv-
ing. Finally the cabbage gets to Mr..
Ultimate Consumer, who lives in a
$40-a-month tenement, rides in the
trolley car or subway, spends all he
can make or a little more to live, and
pays for that head of cabbage thir-
teen cents"

IMPERIAL ENTERS TOBACCO
MARKET AT HOPKINSvlLLE

]. T. Thomas, manager for the I'm
perial Tobacco Company, at Hopkins
vile, has received instructions to re-
enter the tobacco market, and the big
plant there will be operated this sea-
son and the usual purchases put up.
Since the adverse verdict rendered
aginst the Imperial at Morganfield
they had withheld from the market
all over the State.
i The plant at Hopkinsville has been
recently overhauled, and is ready to
start up any day, and it will just as
soon as sufficient stock can be gotten
together.
Until few days ago not pound
of tobacco had been bought by the
company, but in addition to buying
on the loose floors buyers will be put
into the country this week, and they
will go after the tobacco.
This means that the Imperial will
put up from 100000 to 100000
pounds.

BUMPER YEAR IN AMERICA
DESPITE EXTREME DROUTHS

Ten billion dollars worth of pro-
ducts, $4,000, 100000 of cash income
a bumper year in spite of drouths
and other setbacks-is the 1913 rec
ord of 100000 American farms.
The most successful year of hus-
bandry in the United States brought
forth $500, 100000 worth of crops,
of which $2,S96, 100000 were repre-
scented by cereals alone, and $780,
100000 worth of animals sold and
slaughtered and animal products.
The value of the 1913 crops is twice
as great as that of 1899; more than a
$1,000, 100000 over 1909; and substan-
TALLY greater in 1912 OF all the
crops, however, it is estimated that
SO per cent will remain on farms
where they were produced and that
20 per cent. of the animal production
will remain. On that basis the cash
income is estimated by the Depart
mept of Agriculture at 1854, 600, 900.
But despite a record year of crop
value although the record Of pro-
duction has fallen-and the fact that
the number of farms has increased
IL per cent. since 1910, until there
are now estimated to be 100000
farms in the country, the department,
in discussion of the subject recently
made public, does not take the view
that lower cost of living will follow
as a consequence.

LEMON TRUST EXISTS is
CHARGED IN LAW SUIT

Charges that lemon trust exists in
New York and has maintained lobby
in washington to reduce the tariff
on lemons are made in a suit filed in
New York recently by William S.
Armstrong, receiver for the Mercan-
dante-Regan Company. importers of
fruits.
Armstrong seeks to recover dam
ages from the Sicula-American Steam
ship Company, which he says entered
into an agreement in 1911 with the
Fruit Importers Union and other i'm
porters of lemons to add 2 pence,
English money, to the regular freight
rates on every box of lemons brought
here by the line The Mercadante-
Regain Company, which failed in 1912,
was not member of the union or a
party to the agreement, Armstrong re-
lates, but was compelled to use the
steamers of the Sicula-American Com
pany and pay the extra rate.
The plaintiff alleges that this extra
tax was to be used to lobby for a re-
duction of the tariff on italian lemons
in opposition to the efforts of the Cal
ifornia lemon growers, who wanted
the tariff retained.
