TAlRTY-Two MILLION SHORT.
Is the Estimate of the BurIey Tobacco
Crop This Year.

LEXINGTON! KY, Aug. Ire
ports by the Burnley Tobacco Com
pany officials received in Lexington
from all parts of the Burley district
indicate that the crop of white bur-
ley tobacco this year will fall short
of that of last year.
From the most reliable estimates
at hand this years crop will be about
IS per cent. of that of 1913. Govern
ment statistics, according to the
statement of Burley official to-day,
show that last years crop aggregated
215,000,000 pounds.
A Shrinkage of Is per cent. will
mean that the crop will be short ap-
proximately 100000 pounds, and
this shortage will, it is believed ma
terially boost the price at the begin
ming of the buying season which is
expected to open in November.
The shortage of the crop is said to
be due to bad stand" followed by
the effects of the protracted drouth
which retarded the growth of the
weed.
President Clarence LeBus is in Cal
ifornia for his health and Secretary
]. M. Rankin is in Louisville, where
he now spends most of his time at
the big Burley factory there. Conse-
quently it could not be learned what
the plans of the Burley Company are
relative to handling the crop the com
ing season. 1t was stated, however,
by Lexington official of the com
pany that the company has seventeen
loose-leaf warehouses, including the
big Burley" in Lexington, and that
| all of them will be operated as they
| were last year.
The official quoted above said that
he did not believe that the shortage
in the crop would effect to an appre
ciable extent the receipts of the Lex
ington Loose-Leaf market and that
about the same amount of hurley
would be offered for sale there the
coming season as at the last.
| No time has as yet been fixed by
the Tobacco Exchange for the open
ing of the Lexington market.

FOOD STUFF SCARS.
The War in Europe Effects the Prices
Everywhere.

The European war has already be-
gun to affect the supply of practically
every commodity consumed by Paris
people, and in nearly every case this
means an increase in price.
This fact, which will cause deep
concern to every man and woman of
moderate means, and may mean gen.
uine distress to the poor, is substan-
tiated by the constant upward trend
of prices in the wholesale market,
and which will sooner or later be felt
in every retail store in the city, as
we'll as throughout NE United States.
In the matter of foodstuffs, these
rising prices are already beginning to
be felt. HOusekeepers who two
months ago could buy sugar for pre-
serving at five cents per pound are
now obliged to pay between seven
and eight. Rice is up cent, cured
meats are two cents higher, coffee is
up three cents. Fresh meats are feel
ing the effect of the general upward
rise and are two to four cents a
pound higher, although the western
cattle ranges are beginning to be
swept for the fall beef shipment, and
the export markets are glutted with
fat cattle which are awaiting safe
shipment to Europe.
The same is true of wheat and
flour.

OF HYDROPHOBIA

To the Peace Officers, Health Off
Ger and the People of Kentucky:
A recent examination of days
heads from widely separated Sec
tiOns of the State shows an alarming
prevalence of hydrophobia. Under
the authority conferred upon it by
law, the State Board of Health here
by requests and directs all persons
owning valuable dogs to keep them
upon their own premises or to have
them carefully muzzled, and Sheriffs,
Chiefs of Police, Constables and the
people generally are hereby request
ed and directed to destroy, as pain
lessly as possible, all unmuzzled dogs
running at large, with view to the
prevention of hydrOphobla. Failure
to observe this request is punishable
by fine before any magistrate.
Through arrangements with the
United States Public Health Service,
the State Board of Health is enabled
to give the Pasteur treatment at the
Psychological Laboratory, Bowling
Green, KENTUCKY, without expense, to
individuals who have been bitten by
rabid dogs or other animals. Dogs
heads suspected of being mad should
be sent to the Laboratory, by express
prepaid, and the result of the examin-
alton will be telephoned or telegraph
ed
This board takes this occasion to
inform the people of Kentucky that
mad stones are useless if one is real
ly bitten by an infected animal. Their
use gives a false sense of security
and their use is forbidden by law.
Given under our hands and the
seal of the State Board fHealth,
this August II, 1914.

During the last forty years the amount

cent. OF the opium imported is used for
illegitimate purposes.
The average importation per annum
has been over 100000 pounds of opium.
