MUCH TOBACCO is UNSOLD
Lancaster Growers Have 40 Per Cent
of Last Years Crop ON Hand

Lancaster, Pa, March S.-With only
about go per cent. of the 1914 tobacco
crop Of Lancaster county sold, and with
almost certainty before them that
spring will be far advanced before the
remaining forty per cent. has been
taken, the growers of the county are
already discussing the outlook for next
season s crop. The 1914 yield was such
an unusually heavy one that, despite
the fact that 1000 less acres were
planted than in 1918, yet the crop in
weight was ABOUT the same. Like the
1913 crop, so large a percentage of
which was destroyed or damaged by
hail, the 1914 crop was disappoint-
ment, not through any failure while
it was in the field, but because so much
went bad in the curing. And the crops
OF both years sold at about the same
prices.
Contrary to all expectations much of
the tobacco recently sold did not bring
more than eight cents a pound for wrap
pers and two cents for filters, and much
TOBACCO was sold as low as six and seven
cents a pound for wrapper goods. I'm
der these circumstances many growers
have become SO disheartened that they
have announced their intention at the
various farmers meetings of supplant-
ing tobacco with ether crops which will
give good retnJns, require less care and
labor and are less perilous in growing.
II the leaf trade and cigar manufac-
turing industry gave any indication of
recovering, from their depressed con-
ditions there might be some chance of
better prices being paid for the 1914
tobacco, but under the existing circum-
stances prices are more likely to 90
down still further than go up.

CHiNA'S FLAG ON U. s. SHIPS
Seaman's Bill Drives Pacific Ocean

Los Angeles, March S.-As a result
of the Seamen S bill, signed few days

here yesterday that the Robert Dollar
Company, plying steamers between the
Pacific coast and the Orient, will 90

hope to do business under the terms of
the bill which, officials claim, increases
their expenses 200 per cent.
The Dollar line makes Los Angeles
its first port of call ON this coast. There
was some uneasiness at first lest the
line would be put out of business en-
tirely, following the announcement that
the Pacific Mail Company would retire
from the overseas trade, but instead of
stopping business, it is now believed
a transfarance of flags will work out
the Dollar line s salvation.

him. The dead man had wife and
a young child. No arrest has been

TOOTH COMFORT FIRES.BED
Electric Bulb Cured Ache, But Brought
Fiery Awakening

Ebensburg, Pa, March S.-John
Wolf, rural mail carrier, has demon
strated that an electric light bulb will
cure a toothache and then some. Wolf
was walking the floor with a toothache
of the jumping kind, when the bright
idea struck him. Wrapping a towel
around an electric light bulb attached
to long cord, he got into bed, pressing
the bulb against the aching molar as
warming pad. The device worked mag
ically. The suffering stopped and Wolf
fell asleep.
Shortly after midnight the mail car
rier dreamed there was fire and that
he was fighting his way through smoke
and flames. He awoke to find the bed
burning. He sprang to safety and gave
the alarm, but before fremen arrived
the house was almost gutted.

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. MOST soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsifed coeoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any,
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy,
and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff.

HOUSEHOLD SANITATION

Careless habits of mind and body are

advantage of cleanly habits.
These same influences within house

POTATO PURCHASER MUST
Stand GOOD FOR BAD Seeds
Department Of Agriculture to Discon-
tinue Granting Certificates From
New York and Main Districts In
fected With Powdery Scab Disease

Washington, d. c., March S.-The
rapid spread of the powdery scab dis
ease of the potato in Maine and New
York, and the difficulty which has de-
veloped in detecting, by any practicable
| inspection, the presence OF slight infec-
tion by this disease, has led the Depart
ment, after an experience of five or six
months, to discontinue from March 8,
| 1915, further certificates of seed stock
from the infected districts under quar-
antine. It is believed that seed certifi-
cation under the existing conditions, in
stead of being benefit to the pur-
| chaser, may become source of posi-
tive danger, for the reason that the
purchaser is given thereby false sense
of security. Without such certifcati0n
the purchaser, having been duly
warned, will make his purchase for
planting with a full understanding of
the risk.
The only federal certifcation of po-
tatoes as condition of movement from
the infected districts will hereafter be
as table stock potatoes, and a strong
effort will be made to place table stock
potatoes on a more reliable basis as to
freedom from infection. AS all potatoes
grown in Maine both in districts be-
leved to ,beeuninfected as well as in the
known infected districts are under reg
ulation as to interstate movement, fed
eral certifcation will be continued for
seed potatoes grown outside of the in
fected regions of that State.
The modification makes no change in
the status of the uninfected districts of
New York, which have been free to ship
seed potatoes without federal inspec-
tion.
The public is warned that all seed po-
tatoes hitherto shipped from the infect
ed districts may contain powdery scab,
and that there must necessarily be some
risk accompanying their use, of the in
PRODUCTION of the powdery scab dis
ease.
Undoubtedly there are farms aud in
some instances fairly considerable areas
within the infected districts in Maine
and New York (which are still free from
infection, but it is not possible to de-
termine this fact without close scrutiny
of every tuber, and such action is i'm
practicable.
In relation to the southern market
for Maine seed potato stock, it is fair to
state that this disease has not estab-
lished itself, and there is some evidence
that it possibly could not establish it
self, in the Southern Atlantic coast and
the Gulf States. In these States the
department experts are inclined to be-
lieve tina the disease, if it appears at
all, will be limited to the mountain
Gus and colder regions.
