WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
(C'ont1aued From Page T..

been scouting through the county look
ing at tobacco have admitted that there
will be goodly lot of nice tobacco for
the dealers. The growers are expect
ing better prices than were paid last
year. Very little old tobacco around
this county has brought as much as Is
cents, yet any number of growers are
looking for II and IL cents for their
holdings. A leading packer frankly adj
mitted few days ago that he thought
buying would start at 9 and 10 cents,
and he did not believe that the latter
figure would be raised, except for an
unusually fine crop. Several sales of
Broadleaf have been reported the past
week, but the crops were small, and
the prices established no standard. A
number of crops of hail-cut tobacco
have been sold at to 81 cents. A few
crops of good tobacco around Blue Ball
were sold for 10 and 3 cents.
1t has been too dry lately for strip
ping, but this will be pushed ahead as
soon as damp weather allows the work
being started, for the bulk of what is
in the sheds is ready for the stripper.
The local packers still say there will be
practically no buying of the new crop
until it is stripped, and the indications

The Grove of Horrors.

In the November American Magazine
E. Richard Schayer writes story en-
titled ''The War Buzzard. . Mr.. Schay-
er, soldier of the British army, was
for SIX months in France in trenches,
and describes the CHASTITY conditions In
the countries now at war. Following
is that authors account of the Grove
of Horrors:
''The Grove Of Horrors was little
strip of woodland separating two farms
near Ypres. The British trench Dor
dered the western edge of the wood,
the German ditch ran along the eastern
edge. They were only about eighty
yards apart. Repeated Smelling had
reduced the grove to tatters. 1t was
drunken, crazy wood. Bare tree trunks
ending sharply in splintered spikes
stuck up out of tangle of slanting,
twisted, torn limbs and branches. Half
of it was dead, the other half manned
and tortured maze of green. | stood
beside Canadian rifeman and peered
over the parapet There were, thou
sands of dead Germans and British In
that nightmare wood, he had told me.
It had been charged through over and
over again since November, neither side
ever gaining the opposite trench. The
dead and helplessly wounded from each
assault had remained in that Grove OF
Horrors. Now it was May.

are that this will be done early. Every
thing points to very early cleanup of
the new crop unless the growers de-
mand exorbitant prices.
The growers are already discussing
plans for next seasons crops, and they
are already being advised as to the
kind of fertilizers to use and are being
urged to sterilize their seed beds, as
was done last season with such good
results.
If we cannot report activity in the
local leaf trade and the cigar industry,
neither are we called upon to report
any slump. The local warehouses are
no longer bullying with stocks of old
goods, but there is still enough on hand
with which to take care of whatever
business is likely to come along. Such
4 a run on the local packers as took place
some weeks ago would clean them out.
Earlier in the season the prices of to-
bacco in local warehouses stiffened a
little, but lately prices appear to have
gone back to what they were before
the 9srun. On account of having so
little old goods on hand the local deal
ers expect to be liberal buyers of the
county's new crop.

Hamburg possesses a steam ferry of

Hamburg possesses a steam ferry OF
a somewhat original type. for the main
deck can be raised and lowered by suit
able machinery in order to take up
difference of level Of some sixteen feet.
The large structural framework rises
to considerable height and is intended
to guide the whole platform in its ver-
teal movements. By the use of pow.
erful electric winches it is possible
to raise s-nd lower the deck as a whole,
even when it is loaded with numerous
heavy vehicles, such as are used IN
landing material at the port. The rea-
son for adopting this arrangement OF
the deck lies in the fact that at the
Hamburg port the difference In tide
level is considerable, so that when the
boat lands at the wharf it is by no
means on the same level at all times
and in the ordinary case the heavy
vehicles would be obliged to mount or
descend steep incline. 1t is in order
to avoid this drawback that the pres
ent type of ferry was constructed. and
as the movable deck can always be
brought flush with the level of the
dock, the vehicles can now run off IN
the ordinary way.

Details of the German 42-Centimeter
Gun.

Although the 42-cm. gun used by the
Germans in battering down the fortifi-
cations at Liege and Namur attracted
worldwide attention during the early
stages of the war, the secret of its
dimensions and other features has been
so iealously guarded that practically
nothing has been made public in regard
to this monster mortar, beyond the ter
rible destruction wrought by it. At a
recent meeting of artillery engineers at
Dusseldorf, Germany, an engineer of
the Krupp works delivered lecture on
the making of heavy artillery and par
ticularly on the making of the 42-cm.
guns, or the big Berthas,' as the
Germans call them, and an apparently
reliable report of this lecture has been
transmitted to this country. Accord
ing to this report, which appears in the
December Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, the big gun weighs about 97a
tons, while the base on which it stands
when in firing position weigh All tons.
The barrel is Is feet long, and the shell
fired from it is about so inches long and
weighs $50 pounds. The gun is far too
big to be transported on any kind of
gun carriage. 1t is made up of consid-
erably more than 100 pieces, and must
be taken apart and loaded on motor
trucks, of which II are said to be re-
quired, when it is to be moved.

WE ARE told from Washington that
it is not the purpose of the administra-,

defense a party issue. Good reason
why. There are about forty democratic
congressman who are opposed to it,
whereas the democratic majority is
only about thirty. Making it party
issue means it's defeat. But wait until
next year. Then it will be made a

 EVOLVED PLAN
Will Be Presented to Bus mess Men for Considera tlon-Similar to the Ro- tary, Only No Business IS to Be Excluded

The committee of three appointed at the regular meeting of the commercial ciup on last Wednesday evening, has prepared a plan to present to the busi- ness men this week. which if passed upon favorably will insure the placing of the club upon sound financial bas
 IS and bring about the greatest amount of good. The plan is to seperate the different lines of business into divis- ions and to tax each division according to the amount of good that would be derived from the new people that will be brought into the valley. The repre-
 sentatives of the lines will adjust among themselves how much each is to pay in order to make up the necessary amount. For instance. should it be deemed necessary to take the grocery men certain amount the grocers will then meet and settle among themselves just how much toward that amount each one is to give toward maintaining the club. In the event that seventy five per cent of the grOcerymen decide to come into the proposition. the man who is hired as secretary will consider himself in the employ of the grocers who insure his pay and will throw the business to the stores who are mem bers of the club. While the 25 per cent of the grocers who do not come into the plan will indirectly gain business by the activity of the club it is believed that the seventy-five per cent will not only regain the amount of them oney
