DON'T

Don't marry the old folks, or
let them marry you.
Don't marry one in whom you
have not perfect confidence.
Don't marry much above or
below your social sphere.
Don't forget that mutual for
bearance is the tombstone OF
domestic happiness.
Don't marry unless you love
and unless guarded by reason
and judgment.
Don't expect that love will
come after marriage, where it
does not exist before marriage,
for all experience proves it will
not.
Don't marry for beauty alone,
for it may perish in a single
night, and, unless accompanied
by loneliness of spirit, it is only
a mantle of vanity, selhshness
and i'll temper.

Insect Enemies of Tobacco.
One of the most trouble and
expensive features of tobacco
culture, particularly in the south
ern districts, is the control of
numerous insects, which if not
combated would often times COM
pletely destroy the commercial
value of the crop. Among the
more important insects attacking
the tobacco plant may be men
toned the tobacco hea-bettle, the
tobacco "wire-worm," cutworms,
the hornworms, or green
worms" and the tobacco bud
worm. Of these the hornworms,
or green worms" are usually
the most destructive.

garding insects attacking tobac-
co and methods of combating

NO EXTRA SESSION
FOR INSURANCE. BILL

Governor McCreary will not
call an extra session of the Leg
islature to consider the repeal Of
the Greene-Glenn insurance bill.
He made that statement last
week to delegations of business
men from Louisville and Lexing-
ton who went to Frankfort re-
questing him to call the special
session for that purpose. The
Governor said that he had made
careful poll of the Legislature
and found that the members were
determined that the bill was to
the best interests of the State
and would not change their votes
if the session was called. He adj
ded that it would cost at least
100000 to hold a special session
and that it would be money use
lessly spent, inasmuch as they
would not consider a repeal of
the bill.
John w. Barr, president of the
Fidelity and Columbia Trust
Company; F. w. Gettys, presi-
dent of the Kentucky, Bankers
Association, and Pendleton Beck

senting Mayor Bushemeyer; R.

Rating Board; Fred Levy, presi-
dent of the Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION; Noel Gaines and Sena-
tor Glenn, author of the bill,
spoke at the conference at which |
800 business men of Louisville |
and Lexington attended.
The bankers and business men
made it plain that they were not
representing or aiding the insur-
ance companies but that they
must have insurance. They con-
tended that conditions had arisen
the repeal of the bill a
necessity.
Laffoon contended that the in
companies must be regu-
lated and Glenn said that the on
Iy difference between the board
and the insurance companies was
that the Rating Board demanded
an itemized statement showing
the rates and that the insurance
companies refused to submit the
statements.

AMERICAN TOBACCO
INDUSTRY SPECIALIZED

Each important tobacco dis
trict of the United States pro-
duces a type of tobacco for spec
ial purposes of manufacture or
export. The methods of growing
and handling a crop must vary
according to the type of leaf de-
sired, and therefore according to
the particular districts where it
is grown. The u. S. Department
OF Agriculture has just issued a
bulletin on tobacco culture"
which recommends methods for
the production of various Ameri-
can types.
The bulletin emphasizes the
fact that over-production is a
constant menace in all the estab-
lished centcrs of tobacco grow
ing and that the development of
the industry in new sections on
a large scale is hardly advisable.
Another reason why tobacco cul-
ture in untried sections may re-
suit in failure is that the leaf pro-
duced will not be quite right in
type, and therefore it will not
find satisfactory market.
The commercial value of to-

degree by particular soil and eli
matte conditions than is that of
almost any other important crop.
This has caused the industry to
become highly specialized and
the trade looks regularly to we'll
defined areas for the various
types of leaf it requires.
AS tobacco grows readily over
so large an area it is not strange
that many farmers experiment
with it and often secure seeming
success. That is, the plants grow
readily but when it comes time
to sell the crop the farmer can
find no market. \
81 have grown five acres of
tobacco" a farmer writes from a
district where tobacco is not
grown for the commercial trade.
"But there seems to be no mar
kct. Can the Department of Ag-
riculture help me-"
The Department can only ad-
wise this farmer that conditions
are such that even though his
product appear to be of good
quality he will probably be un-
able to market it, as the trade
does not recognize his section as
a tobacco-producing area. Here
we have the difference empha-
sized between tobacco and a
crop like corn for which mar
ket may readily be found no mat
ter where it is grown if the quail
ity is good.
There are three general classes
of tobacco described in the new
bulletin:
(I) Cigar tobaccos.
(2) Export tobaccos.
Cd Manufacturing tobaccos.
By manufacturing tobaccos are
meant all types used in manu-
facture other than cigars. The
manufacturing and export classes
however, have much in common
as regards cultural methods, and |
some types are used for manu-
featuring and for export; there
fore these two classes are con-
sidered together as distinguished !
from the cigar tobaccos.
Each Of these three classes of
tobacco may be sub-divided into |
types, depending on their special
uses, methods of growing and
curing, or on the variety of seed
used. In the case Of cigar tobac-
cos there are three principal
types, corresponding to the three
parts OF the cigar-wrapper leaf,
binder leaf, and filler leaf. In the
manufacturing and export tobac-
cos are such types as the hue-
cured, Virginia sun-cured, White
Burley, dark fre-cured, etc.
These various types are produc-
ed on certain special types of soil
and according to definite methods
Of growing, curing and han ding
the crop. In come cases the va
riety of seed used is also an i'm
portant factor. The special uses
of the principal types embraced
in the three fundamental classes
of tobacco are brought out in
with the cultural di-
rections for the more important
types.
A typical district for the cul-
ture of cigar tobaccos is the Con-
necticut valley. The new bulle-

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May S.-That
Frederick weyerhauser, the late lum-
Der king, whose will, probated yester-
day, gave his fortune as $S75,0So, did
not give the real value OF his estate,
was the opinion today of William J.
Stevenson, assistant attorney general,
in charge of inheritances taxes.
Two possibilities exist by which the
discrepancy in the lumber kings for
tune can be explained, according to
Stevenson. He either made extensive
gifts prior to his death or his major
holdings are in the form Of real estate
outside of Minnesota. Weyerhauser
was conceded to be one of the richest
men in the country and the fact that
he was not a millionaire as shown by
his will, caused surprise.
Stevenson declared the real size OF
the fortune would probably be
learned after an investigation OF the
stocks and bonds Weyerhauser may
have held in foreign corporations.
Three months will be allowed the
executors to list all Of Weyerhaus-
er's properties. After that the attor-
new generals office will investigate
and prove the list.

DISTRUST PROVES OBSTACLE
TO PEACE AT COAL MINES

distrust between the parties to the
conflict has developed.
Leaders of the strikers assert thai
unless at least 500 rifles are surrend-
cred by operators it will be clear they
do not intend to obey the disarma-
ment order. Operators on the other
hand say strikers mus. surrender at
least 500 to 1000 guns or it will be
evident they are acting in bad faith.
The probability is that neither side
will surrender anything like the num-
ber OF weapons named. Strike leaders
say only about 200 rifles remain In .he
possession of strikers, while oper-
ators' agents declare this is absurd.
AS q result of this distrust. Lockett
and Holbrook fear numerous rifles Will
be buried or otherwise concealed by
both sides In ready accessible places
for use in renewal Of fighting as soon
as the United States troops have
been withdrawn They think that. un-
der the circumstances 1t will be neces-
sary for the federal tloors to remain
indefinitely and even increase their
forces. Colonel Lockett today denied
reports that the presidents disarma-
ment order would be construed to re-
fer to peace officers in the strike
zone He said sunicient number OF
such oficers would be allowed weap-
ons.
