Il Curtains.

The most charming curtalllS may hc
made of net with Il simple border ia
darning.
Mcrcerized cotton Of rather Il heavy
quality about number five would be
best to use for the work.
The net should have ii square mesh
rs the heXagonal mesh which is very
pretty will sag and is not as easily
darned.
Tapestry needles should be used for
the task, and it is best to use several
needles for the work, so that all the
threads may be pulled through and the
work completed on one section before
beginning another.
Where the threads are joined run
them together for an inch or more and
then sew them together with a fine
sewing thread in an over and over
stitch.
White or ecru cotton is best TO use
for working rs it produces the hand
soonest effect.
1t is usually best to hem the net be
fore daraiug the pattern and always
allow Il little extra goods ut the top
for the net will shrink when laun-
dered.

sank rather than surrender her to the
Turkish cruiser Goeben. When called
upon to surrender her captain headed
the Truth for the shore, opened the

PAPER RUN BY TELEPATHY
French Prisoners in Germany Publish
Sheet to Overcome Longing

Amsterdam-French prisoners in
the concentration camp of Zossen,
near Berlin, are publishing weekly
paper in the French language, which
they call LIE Heraut (the Herald).
LIE Heraut boasts of being the only
paper which is in connection with the
whole worldly telepathy. The aim
of the paper is ito overcome the ar.
dent longing for their country by the
reaction of sound, amiable, inoffen-
sive and salutary humor."

NEW YORK, Nav 20, 1914.

Whatever interest has been mani
tested in the local market for cigar
leaf tobacco has evidenced itself in
other forms than in the sale of tobacco
for the past week has been to an un-
usual extent bare of transactions.
There is one evidence of strength, how
ever, and that is that after long per-
iod of depression there has been no re-
cession in the price of any of the stand
ard types, save possibly one line of
filters, and it ought to be said also that
fine tobacco of this type commands as
high price today as it did last year.
In the past week there has been some
inquiry for thinner Spanish, and other
lines have moved only in routine pro.
portions. Generally speaking, the work
of getting the new crop of cigar leaf
is backward, and in some sections, not
ably Pennsylvania, there is likely to be
a decrease in the area planted to to-
bacco this year. In the latter state, it
is said, the new crop will contain more
of the Havana strain and less of the
Broadleaf than last year, as in certain
sections the Havana experiment netted
the farmers more than they would have
made from the Broadleaf. They re-
ceived more per pound, although the
number of pounds produced per acre is
less than in Broadleaf. Leaf.

With the sudden advent of summer

dropped into a drowsy condition. Moth

the market during the week only that
the demand for the new Sumatra is be-
coming more frequent. Manufacturers
seem 20 have come to the conclusion
that the Sumatra situation is not likely
to undergo a radical change in the re-
naming inscriptions of the year and
consequently they have become more
alert in looking out for their Sumatra
needs than they have done so far. AS
to other types routine business is be-
ing reported, always with the saving
expression, that there is not much
available stock in the market. In the
Havana market hopes are not yet fully
realized as to the exact outcome of the
new crop.
There is feeling in the cigar indus

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, May 20, 1914. /.


This has been a week of frequent
rains and summer temperature, just
the kind of weather that promotes the
rapid growth of the young plants which
are fast reaching size for transplanting
into the fields. 1t begins to look now
that the growers would have hustling
work to get their ground in condition
to transplant before the plants are too
large. In any event early setting of
the new crop seems to be in order.
There are a few packers who have
some tobacco yet to handle before the
warehouse season ends, but the coming
week will probably see most of it cared
for.
A few hot days have started the
cased tobacco into the summer sweat
and will help along an early curing of
the leaf.
Business in cured leaf is being con-
Quoted along very quiet lines. A stray
lot of last seasons crop occasionally
reaches market.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about 200 cases and four cars of
bundles.

LANCASTER, Pa, May 20, 19

LANCAO1 LEN, a., N1dy AO'
Interest just now centers in the prep
arations for the 1914 crop of Lancaster
county. Local tobacco growers would
be more than pleased to see the acre
age very short indeed, far shorter than
it is likely to be. They would like to
start all over, with line of goods that
has never been questioned. The pack
ers are Of the opinion that the bulk Of
the growers have had their eyes opened
to the necessity of growing better
quality of tobacco if Lancaster county
is to get back to the enviable position
it held only few years ago in the to-
bacco world. A large local packer who
has bought heavily of the new crop
and who has travelled all parts of the
county, believes that not above IL, 900
acres will be grown in Lancaster county
this year, less by 1000 acres than the
usual acreage.
Probably not over 10 per cent, GER
tainly not above Is per cent, of the
1913 crop remains in the growers
hands, and during the past week prices
have perceptibly stiffened. Of the to-
bacco remaining in the growers hands
a good deal is of excellent quality, and
the owners of it belong to the class of
growers who do not need to hurry
themselves in the selling. The writer
has heard Of some crops for which 9
cents had been refused, the price being
just cent below what was asked.
The local packers still complain of
dull trade, and the cigar manufacturers
gloomily admit that the cigar industry
is very much depressed Collections
are hard to make, and business all
around is most unsatisfactory.
