No Danger of Lower Prices.

y letter from Halifax County brings
the information that the growers of
bright tobacco in that county are talk :
ing no stock in the croaking OF the
croakers and the blue prophesies of
tho pessimists who are preaching the
doctrine that limited crops Of the weed
are necessary to keep the price up
TO the present high grade, but are
making preparations for the biggest
crop OF many years past. Sensible
farmers they are who know that it
is increased demand all over the
world for bright tobacco. and not short
crops that has brought about what they
call high prices for the bright weed.
From the iron mills, and the steel
working centres of the country comes
the gratifying news that business is
fine. When iron and steel are moving,
all other things in this country move.
All things point to a great business
year on ahead.

Hint From 'roanO.

The people who live in and around
the good little town of Toana, in
James City County, according to a cor
respondent OF the Williamsburg Ga
zette. are not al all dismayed by two
years of partial failures of the potato
crop and Will this year invest whole
lot of money in the potato venture.
The pluck of these Toano folks is an
object lesson and a hint to other peo-
pie who cultivate the soil for a profit.

GIANTS LOST FAST
GAME LAST SUNDAY
BiItternlst Wins Fast Game fre.a Giants
by TO 4 Score


The Odanall Giants lost last Sunday $
game to the Butternuf team at that city by
a score Of TO 4. Neither team had scored
up to the fifth inning when Betternut
scored four runs on pass pail. It was in
this inning tia: Grant, who had pitched a
good game, called Cadreau in and took the
field with three men on and none down,
Cadreau started pitching with the prelimin
ary worm up, Lut at that struck two men
out and had two strikes On the third man,
and The third strike is the ball that got away
from Pennock and was lost in the grass al
lowing Butternut their four runs. The
Giants inability to nit Konop when hits
meant runs aided in their defeat,
Grant, who has been sick for several
days, pitched good up to this inning when
he weakened and gaue way to Cadreau who
held them safe the rest of the way. Starr
was the star of the. game getting four
hits and base on balls on balls in five times
at bat, one being a two-sacker. The fol-
lowing is the score.

AWKWARD AND HUSTiNG
Continued. From Front Page.
the Milwaukee journal says:

the Milwaukee journal says:
Joseph z. Davies, who in written state
ment condemns the Karel-kearney move
ment and pronouuces it hostile to the spirit
which actuates the national administration
and the leadership of the party in the
nation, is not only the head of the Demo-
cratic party in the state by virtue of being
its national committeeman but he occupies
position of close relationship with Pres
ident Wilson. He was one of the first
Wisconsin Democrats to declare for Mr.
Wilson for president in 1912 and he was
the manager of MIR. Wilson's primary and
election campaign in the west Mr.. Davies,
moreover, holds under President Wilson the
Office of commissioner of corporations,
which ranks second only to cabinet posi-
ton in the national administration. Mr..
Davies statement should be carefully read
by every Democrat in the state. It makes
clear the crisis which exists in Wisconsin S
democracy and shows the urgent need of in
telligent thought and action to save the
party. No progressive Democrat who does
not wish to fool himself, or to let others
fuoi him, can think of supporting the karel-
Kean ey ticket. It represents, in the first
place men and IDEAS that are at variance
With President Wilson ard his policies.
Moreouer, it represents at least in Milwau-
kee, whers il gets its chief strength and IN
spiration, the spirit of Tommanyism--aH of
Tammany's selhshness, and worse, and an
organization actually patterned after Tam
may.

100000 Belges parlent le fran
Gals; en- Suisse, 100000 Romands,
ct enfn lie Canada renferme 7,7OO,-
600 Francais d'Amerique. Au to-
tai, celia fait 57,6OO.0OO.
A ce chitfre, j'ajouterai 5O,OOO,-
600 de sujets coloniaux de toutes
couleurs: blanc, noirs, jaunes, mar
rons, qui, il est vrai, ne parlent pas
tous notre langue, mais qui. petit 3
petit, y parviendrcnt. Ces 6tran-
gers de langue FRANCHISE nous ont
dome de fort beaux itt6rateurs
qui ont enrichi notre tr6sor lite
raire. Quelques noms au hasard:
Rodenbach, Maeterlinck, ct Yer
haeren Ell Helgique; en- Suisse, de
Saussure, le grand peintre de la
nature Alpestre; j. j. Rousseau,
citoyen de Geneve; Rod, lie d6licat
poete canadien, Fr6chette, aux ex-
quis tableaux de la Nouvelle-Fr
ce, ct conbien d'autres que je ne
puts citer par crainte d'etre trop
! long.
Done, notre situation dams le
monde, au point de vue du nombre,
nest pas aussi mauvaise qu,on
veut bien le dire, settlement nous
avons beaucoup q faire encore pour
garder notre rang ct progresser en-
suite. Autrefois, a 'etranger, le
francais 6tait surtout parl6 par les
classes sup6rieures. Actuellement,
il a p6n6tr6 dams les classes moins
6levees de la societe; des profes-
seurs des bourgeois, des CONNER
cants, des militaires, parlent le
francais On parle pent-etre moins
bien, mais on le parle davantage".
