common quality. The quantity will
doubtless equal that of the past several
years. Of new ground leaves there
have been received 50 far only 1896 hogs
heads, the color and quality of which
was better than for many years, all
being remarkably free of sand and the
bulk of the leaves were of finer grades.
Prices ranged from 8 to II cents for
very bright and yellow color.
The crop of bay or Western Maryland
tobacco that came to market amounted
to only 528 hogsheads, of which 116
hogsheads were fire cured and 4l2 hogs
heads were air cured; the fire cured
were all sold at prices ranging from 5
to Is cents; of the air cured about 200
hogsheads were sold to the buyers for
France at to II cents. and there are
still POT hogsheads unsold. From all
reports there is still some fire-cured to-
bacco held in the country on account of
the present war in Europe, as the most
of this grade is used in Germany.

House Increases Pay of Rural Carriers.

After lively debate in the House of
Representatives last week, IN
which Congressman Linthicum of Mary
land took an active part, it was voted
to definitely fix the salaries of rural
carriers under the law so that every
carrier serving route of "a miles will
be paid $1,000 year.
In the preceding appropriation bill
passed by Congress provision was made
for the promotion of 43, 1925 rural car
riers $500 each, and the necessary
amount was authorized for the in
crease. The Post Office Department
so interpreted the law that only frac-
ton of them received more money.
This action aroused much indignation
on the part of members of Congress
and the statement was freely heard
that when the next Post Office appro-
pration bill came up these promotions
of rural carriers would be made manda-
tory.
Referring to the work of the mail
carriers, Congressman Linthicum said:
"These rural letter carriers have
considerable expense. They are COM
PEELED to provide their means of trans
portation and to deliver the mail each
and every day in the year. While in
the summer the work may be light and
pleasant, in the winter it becomes enor
nous and very unpleasant. The roads in
the greater part of the country where
the mail is delivered by the rural car
riers are not only bad in winter but
often miserable and almost impossible. "
81 received a letter this morning
from a rural carrier in my State, who
says that during the summer one horse
will perform the work on his route,
but that during the winter he is com
PEELED to have two horses to do the
same service. There are many routes
in the State Maryland, especially those
in the mountainous sections, where
more than one horse is required almost
