The History of
Tobacco
THE knowledge of tobacco and its

THE knowledge of tobacco and It's
uses came to the world. like
many other good things. from
America. and by the agency of Chris
TOPPER Columbus.
Fol- II was In the second week OF
November, 1892. that Columbus, hav-
ing landed and taken possession OF
the Island OF San Salvador. set out
on al exploration of Cuba Tho first
party which he despatched into the
interior returned with a weird story
Of having seen dark skinned natives
carrying lighted firebrands' where
with they kindled the end Of small
rolls of dried herbs. while they put
the other end between their lips,
sucking the smoke through the roll
and then putting It out through their
nostrils and mouths"
The term tobacco" 10 indeed de-
rived not from the plant, but from an
instrument sharply described in 1896
by Oviedo as a small hollow wooden
tube shaped like the letter " the
two points OF which are inserted In
the most Of the smoker. the other END
held into the smoke of burning to-
bacco and thus the fumes are in
haled."
The introduction Of the tobacc'
plant into Europe In 1858 Is due t.
Francisco Fernandez. a court ply
sician to Philip ii. Of Spain. who haC
been sent to Mexico on a mission o
Investigation into native products.

~HE ARREST at Ironwood, Mich, of the ex- butlc

rSHE ARREST at Ironwood, Mich, of the ex-butler, Waltonen,
charged with completely in the murder of his former en-
plOyer, Mrs. Elizabeth Nichols, in the drawing room of her
home at No. 4 East Seventy-ninth Street the night of Sept. 8, 1915,
occurs almost exactly twelve months after a crime the cold blooded-
pess Of which shocked New York.
The lonely widow in her handsome house, the diamonds she wore
even when alone, the robbery plot involving her servants, one of
whom let the robbers in, the woman found strangled or frightened to
death-nobody has forgotten the details Talas, the house boy, who
confessed he opened the door to Waltonen, was until now the only
one caught, and he narrowly escaped the electric chair.
The police have always believed that Waltonen, who got Talas
his Job in the Nichols home, was the chief instigator of the robbery
For months they have watched others suspected of being his accom-.
plces. The fact that the former butler was found, while working
~ . barber, through the suspicious of a client who had studied the
police descriptions Of the indicted man and spotted a telltale scar
on the finger Of the hand that shaved him, speaks we'll for the eff.
cacy Of police circulars and rewards. After all, there comes a mo-
ment in the pursuit Of many criminals when the public is the best OF

Dr.. D. W. Dennis Dead.

In the death Of DR.. D. w. Dennis, Eariham
college loses faithful educator and the whole
community suffers distinct loss.
For many years, DIR. Dennis was command
ing figure not only in his profession but also a
citizen devoted to the social and political upft of
this city and county.
His last public service was a Jealous advocacy
of trained nurse for Wayne county. He devoted
Wayne County tuberculosis Society, hop
ing to obtain enough money thereby to bring q
trained worker to the community.
The three decades he spent at Earlham College
were given to the education of hundreds of young
men and women who left the institution with a
memory of their instructor that is as fresh to-
day as it when they entered his classes. It is
given to few men to exert the influence he did,
and to preserve for years the love and esteem of
his students.
DIR Dennis was one Of three men who made a
decisive impress on Earlham College Dr. Joseph
Moore, for many years his colleague, has pre-
coded him in death. Prof William N. Trueblood
still holds chair at the college. These three in
structors will be remembered by every student at
Earlham college. They belong to the old order
but their influence has not been vitiated by the
lapse of time.
The city of Richmond is honored to have had
in it's citizenship man of DR.. Dennis accom-
plishments and talents. He did not confine his
work to the class room but looked upon every
member Of the whole community as a student
who might share in what he knew. Deeply inter
ested in all matters pertaining to public health
he delivered many lectures before the schools
and clubs of the city. His fight against tubercuo-
sis and his constructive advice on methods to
combat the spread of the disease in Richmond
were examples of his unselfish devotion to good
citizenship.
The community joints in the grief of his fam.
lily and of the college.

WHO'LL SELL EMP WE WILL

The French minister Of agricul-
ture has formed q commission to
plan an agricultural revolution in
France. After the war there will
not be men enough to do the work,
nor animals enough to provide
power. So it is proposed system
atically to educate the people to use
farm machinery Of the sort invented
and perfected in America.
It is calculated that 100000 trac-
tors will be wanted Immediately in
the parts of France now held by the
Germans; more than half as many
plows; harrows, harvesters, all the
kinds Of machinery that Americans
think Of as doing the farming, but
that the French peasant hasn't
learned to use because plots are so
small and human labor has been SO
cheap-till now-in that country.
It's easy to tell whence the agri-
cultural machinery will come, any
how. No other country can make it
so good or 30 cheap as America does
T. There is no other agriculture
quite like American. We have
adapted our tools to it; and now the
world wants those same tools.
