fn St. Louis is located the largest tobacco factory in the world, where the worlds largest selling brand and many other famous tobacco products are made. This factory employs about 5000 people and has factory frontage of a full mile. Here chewing tobacco is produced to the extent of about eighty-five million pounds a year, one brand alone requiring twenty-five million pounds year.
 The care that is taken to insure cleanliness puts this plant upon a high plane of sanitary and hygienic efficiency. It would be a revelation to the average user of tobacco to go through plant of this kind. The most fastidious housewife could scarcely be more careful of her floors, of her tables and culinary equipment than the managers of this tobacco factory are of every detail of equip ment.

PROGRAM BEING
MAPPED OUT NOW
Several important Questions
Must be Settled When
Congress Meets.
BY Victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-The
lines are already being drawn for the
coming congressional season in Wash
ington. Two months and more viii
elapse before the speakers gavel raps
the house of representatives TO order
next December, but even new plans
are being laid. issues are being
threshed out. and the national capital.
ordinarily the dullest of cities in mid
summer, is the scene of marked acti-
witty.
In anticipation Of the converting of
congress. Pres't Wilson proba bly, will
spend the month of October hard at
work The entire administration pro-
gram must be mapped out in the few
weeks preceding the opening of con-
gress.
The national defense program must
be worked out in detail by Sec'y of
War Garrison and Sec'y of the Navy
Daniels within the next few weeks:
the fiscal policy of the administration.
including the complex problem of
continuing and probably expanding
the war tax, must be framed: the
question of renewing the fight on the
shipping bill must be decided: and a
score of other matters including the
cotton question, certain 10 be pushed
to the limit by the southern members
of the democracy, must have consid-
Grafton.
There is a possibility that congress
may be called in extra session in Oc-
tober, it now is remote. only in the
event of some threatening turn of the
international situation will this be
brought about.
1t is Pres't Wilson's hope that the
International problems facing the ma
ton will have cleared sufficiently by
December to allow congress to devote
itself TO domestic legislation The
fact is. however. that the European
war Will have a direct. and possibly
decisive effect on nearly every feature
of the administration program
The measures for the relief of the
cotton growers and for reprisal on the
entente allies because of their obstruc-
ton of neutral commerce. will be the
fulcrum upon which the fate of other
legislations will depend. The south
ern members of the house and senate
threaten to carry their fight far. and
their campaign is the central fact in
the present political situation in
Washington.
While the coming congress will not
bulk large in constructive legislation.
IT viii unquestionably be more signi-
hcant from an international point of
view than any held in a generation.
The president and his advisors are
fully aware of the strenuous work
ahead of them.

Lone Bandit
H olds Up L.
E. and W. TRAN:

ARCADIA. Ind, Sept. 16.-Playing
lone hand in the most approved
western style, bandit Wednesday
night held up train No. 20 on the Lake
Erie & Western railroad, between Ar
cadia and Cicero, and escaped with
81, 500 in cash.
The train, a local, carrying one eX-
press car, left Arcadia at $3.50. 1t is
supposed that the robber concealed
himself between the express car and
the smoker Three miles out OF the
city limits he entered the express car,
covered Ralph Williams, the express
man, and ordered him to the front of
the car. The bandit then barred the
door of the car, dynamited the safe
and took the heavy manila bag which
contained the money. There was
nothing else in the safe.
As the train slowed down near CT
Zero the bandit dropped TO the ground.
rushed across the tracks TO a waiting
automobile, under power, and drove
away.
Chiefs of Police Bader and McNary
of Noblesville and Upton, respective
ly. were notified by wire of the rob-
berry and posses are securing the
country for the perpetrator of one or
the most daring hOldups in Lake Erie
railroad history.

Bryan Didn't Make
Financial Sacrifice,

st. Joe Stoekyards Journsl--Kansas
has paid out q lot Of money to hear w.
J. Bryan talk. A few figures as to
what he earns will be interesting. II
10 known generally among the lyceum
bureaus that Mr.. Brysn's terms are as
follows: he received guarantee of
$3.50 for each lecture. After that q.
mount Is taken in at the gate he and
the management divide the remainder,
each taking half. Under this arrange
ment Mr.. Bryan's share sometimes runs
over $500 for lecture, but it will av.
ersge $3.50 thru the season. tits estimat
ed. This would give him a gross in.
come of 81 200 a week, or 358, 300 for
the Chautauqua season Of IA weeks. In
the remaining SO weeks of the year this
lyceum manager estimated that Mr..
Bryan could average lectures q week
easily, which would give him a gross In
comeo I $2.lOO a week, or s7s,sO for
the 3S weeks. This added to the $6S,
800 for the chautauQua season would
give him gross income for the year Of
slSS.600 His expenses would be very
small outside Of his personal travelling
expenses. From these figures it will
be seen Mr.. Bryan, in laying down his
commission as secretary Of state with
its $ 2.00J salary, is not making any Fl
nancial sacrifice He could rest half
the year and still have an income near
ly as large as that Of the pr, sident Of

We feed 5U, 00O, 900 bushels of good
wheat to the II. ssian Fly every year
to say nothing of what it costs us to
feed our Chinch bugs and other pests,
and have only ourselves to blame. There
is only one subject in which all farmers
agree. and that is, high taxes. They
want pay for sheep killed by the neigh.
boris dogs. Why not ask pay for the
wheat killed by the neighbors Hessian
Flies?
Get together. Every neighborhood
should have Farmers Club, and APP
point Hessisn Fly Committee.
What to Do Right Now.
Cut the Wheat high, above the sec.
ond Joint. Remove the grain from the
field and stack it somewhere else The
fly is now in the resting stage and the
safest way and only sure plan is for ev
cry farmer to plow every acre deeply
and thoroughly within two weeks after
harvest, turning under the stubble com
pletely and then dragging early. This
will fix Mr.. Fly.
Team work is necessary. Teach the
school children to looA for the ily and
report it at every s.age. Appoint a
Captain in every school district, who
should be the best wheat grower in the
neighborhood.
IL. q
only reduce the fly, but will be great
benefit to next ears crop. 1t does not
let the field dry out after harvest, and
gets it ready to hold all the moisture
which is SO badly needed in most oec-
tions. 1t is stated that other things
being equal, three acres plowsd in July
are worth five acres plowed in Septem.
