1.-THE PRIVATE TUTOR"
PRESENTED BY CLASS OF rs

The class OF '1s, G. H. S., presented THE
Private Tutor Thursday evening to an
audience that filed the Coliseum to its
capacity and witnessed one of the clev-
crest school plays seen here for many
years. The balconies were reserved for
the students and were trimmed in the
various class colors.
The play made a hit from the start and
was in three acts. the first being laid in
a college boys room and the other two
at the Spencer home at Clearfield. Abe
Brisk and Lawrence Emerson took the
parts of the college boys in great shape
and made Tremendous hit. These two
parts were rather difficult. but the foot
ball stars, Brisk and Emerson, handled
them to perfection.

ments with Hon. William T Haines
for the use of his lot at the corner of
Main and Appleton streets and a skat-

plenty of room to skate there and will
keep off the river.

ENTERTAINMENT AT
METHODIST CHURCH

A very pleasing entertainment was
presented AT the Methodist church
Thursday evening when Paul Barnaby
appeared as the third of the Lyceum
Course that is being given. Mr.. Barn
ably is an exceptional entertainer in
readings, monologues and pianologues.
He has an exceptionally clear voice
and his renderings were very enthu-
siastically received. His selections
were carefully chosen and Of a high
character. OF his readings, The High
wayman" was perhaps his strongest
and his dialect rendition of the old
gentleman's entertainment, an original
piece, was most heartily received.

proved equal to the occasion and pleased
everybody. Dorothy Spencer, played by
Beatrice Tyler. certainly showed that she
had a mind Of her own and portrayed the
part in q manner that could scarcely be
improved upon. Richard, the butler, was
successfully taken by John Martin, while
Florence Brown as Miss Snak skillfully
carried her part of the cast. Generous
applause was given to all.
The two boys have been suspended and
the fact that young Spencer's father is
coming to visit the boys called for imme-
date action, which is taken by the lads
in engaging the private tutor and later.
by assuming the part themselves, assum-
ing Hans when he disappears, leads to
the exposure of the fake. Cne of tho
hits Of the evening was the ardent love
making by Carothers to Dolly. Forgive
ness for the deception came in the last
act. The playing Of the school orchestra
under the leadership of Mr.. Jebo was ex-
cellent, the medley of southern airs be-
ing especially we'll received.

VAUDEVILLE.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1915-04-09
NEW YORK. March 81. 1911!


While the local dealers in domestic
cigar leaf tobacco do not report any
great amount of activity, a healthy
business of routine proportions has
been going on steadily. The buying
has been for immediate needs of the
manufacturers, and, while the total
volume of trade has not been of pro-
portions that the packers and jobbers
would like to see, nevertheless, it has
been highly satisfactory in that it has
nothing of the nature of speculation
about it, and because the goods are
going into actual consumption. The
past week has witnessed a rather rapid
absorption of certain types of the 1914
Wisconsin crop. These are the stem
ming grades and the B tobacco. Large
manufacturing concerns have been buy
ing very heavily of the stemming
grades, which have been taken up at
extremely good prices, considering the
fact that so large portion of this crop
is of that type. Outside packers, as
we'll as local, have been taking up the
Wisconsin BIS. The 1914 crop did not
produce large quantity of this type.
and most of it has been lifted by last
weeks activity. This demand for filler
tobacco is regarded as rather health
full sign, as it shows that the supply OF
sound, fine filler stock is not regarded
by the packers as being any too large.

NEW YORK, April 3, 10.

NEW ORk, Aprll ., 1910.
The principal event in the market
centered this week in the news from
the first two Sumatra inscriptions. The
result Of the first two inscriptions is
not very encouraging to the expecta-
tion of sufficient supply of Sumatra
from this years inscriptions, nor does
it forbode any lower prices from the
general average that prevailed during
the past few years. In consequence
the desirable lots for the American
market brought top-notch prices, but it
appears also that the best marks were
acquired for the American market. In
all, the two inscriptions yielded about
5000 bales for American consumption.
In domestic trading the market was
rather quiet The lack of impetus in
our cigar industry seems to have re-
dictionary effect on the leaf market.
There is but one type that appears to
have an unimpeded sway and that is
our domestic shade-grown leaf and par
ticularly the Georgia Florida. The de-
mand for the latter tyue is steadily in
creasing. The brisk movement in Ha-
vana leaf that animated our market for
some time past seems to be holding its
OWN Ournal.

HOW TO STEAM TOBACCO BEDS.

By James Johnson, Agricultural Experiment
Station of the University of Wisconsin.
Some of Wisconsin's leading tobacco
growers will steam the soils in their
tobacco seed beds this spring. They
will do this to stimulate growth of
plants, to gain protection against weeds
and certain diseases which attack the
tender seedlings.
The pan used for the steaming is
made of galvanized iron, preferably
No. 6 gauge, 12x6 it., s in. Handles
of one-inch gas pipe are attached to
the sides. The iron must be rivited
and soldered together SO as to be air
tight. The under edges Of the pan
should be fairly sharp in order that it
may be readily pressed into the soil.
The steam is most conveniently OBJ
tanned from an ordinary traction boiler
at pressure of from 125 to $50 pounds.
Time will be saved if two pans are
| used. This arrangement will permit OF
leaving the pans on the beds longer
and thus more thoroughly steaming the
soil.
The soil of the beds must be moist
and loose, but not wet. lnvert the pan
| over the soil and run steam into it for
thirty minutes. Then move the pan to
the next section of the bed and repeat.
| In this manner ten to fifteen rods of
bed may be steamed daily. After re-
| moving the pans care should be taken
not to Introduce any soil from the out
side into the steamed area, as this may
bring in weed seeds and disease germs.
The seed may be sown on the second
day after steaming or at any time
thereafter. 1t is important to remem-
Der not to sow the seed as thickly on
| steamed as on unsteamed soil, and also
| to SOW the seed later.

PENNSYLVANIA.

LANCASTER, PA, March 81, 1915.
Lancaster county's 1914 tobacco has
been selling fast Of late, and less than
25 per cent remains in the growers
hands. That part of the crop held back
so late in the season is held by two
classes of growers-those whose tobac-
co was of such a quality that the trade
did not want it, and those who had to-
bacco wanted by the buyers, but who
held out for sitter prices than were
offered. Most of this latter class were
farmers who could afford to hold on to
their crops 1t goes without saying
now that they are very sorry they did
not sell early, as prices are away below
what they could have had then. To-
bacco for which the growers could
easily have had 10 cents has lately been
going at = and 8 cents. Some fairly
good crops have sold as low as cents.
The local packers, who were kept
from buying early for financial reasons,
are now buying freely, and they are
getting their tobacco cheap-on the
face of things. 1t must not be forgot
ten that the 1914 tobacco cured under
the most unfavorable weather condi-
tions that had prevailed for years, and
the growers were anything but pleased
with the curing, especially the coloring
of the tobacco, which ranged ali the
way from black to sickly yellowish
brown. But color aside, it is still
question how the tobacco will go
through the sweat. If the packings do
not pan out we'll it means that the to-
bacco is not cheap to the buyer after
ALL AS the United Cigar Manufactur-
ers Co., the Eisenlohrs and other big
concerns have stopped buying in this
county, the local packers have none to
contend with, and what remains of the
crop will naturally be taken by them.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, April 8, 1915.

OANS w AOsS <ApAA
With better than 80 per cent of the
crop already out of growers hands, the
buying movement which is still under
way, is picking up the remnants which
are now eetimated not larger than a
year ago this date. Competition
among representatives of the stem
mers has boosted prices trifie for this
class of goods and even on other grades
stronger figures are paid for binder
lots A few recent transactions show
the range of prices:
Mrs N. Smithhack, 10a at 81, 5&2c.
Holtan & Lunde, la at 68&2c.
Nels Nelson, Ia at 9&Zc.
Robt. Johnson, 5a at 8&&2c.
Hans Danielson, Ga at 8&2c.
Helleck Solseth Ga at SC sized.
Martin Lunde, 8a at 73&2c.
John Beckeus, ga at 7&2c.
The present indications are that the
crop will be pretty thoroughly lifted
before the seed beds of the present
year are laid.
A good deal of tobacco has been re-
ceived at the packing points during the
week, and for lack of storage some of
the large operators are weighing up
and storing considerable tobacco in the
country.
The market for old leaf presents no
new features anywhere.
Shipments out of storage reach 1900
cases and 8 cars of bundles to all points
for the week. Since last report Is cars
have been received from outside points.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Well, the 1914 tobacco crop is prac-
tically absorbed and the wonder of it is
how quickly it has passed out of grow
ers' hands. The decks are cleared
again and the farmers are free to lay
their plans for another crop. For the
first time in many years the average
grower has not made money with this
crop, so we will wait with considerable
interest to see how much the acreage
will be cut the coming season.
