WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page ~
Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, PA, March 20, 1916.
q The warehouses of, the local packers
are about empty Prices on the kind
of tobacco they had carried along so
long have advanced, but it does them
no good, as they have practically moth
ing to trade with, the 1909 excepted.
The 1909 is selling at prices away ahead
of those it was going at six or eight
months ago.
Now to bark back to the subject we
began with. The reason the local
packers are without homegrown goods
now is because they had no faith in the
1915 crop. They are sorry now they
were so skeptical. When the crop was
put away there were few local dealers
who did not look upon it as bad crop,
one that would sell away below nine
cents, and many of them expected to
buy it cheap. Many of them bought
none, and the big concerns hold prac-
tically the entire crop. 1t is freeze
out for the local dealers, and if they
want to continue in the tobacco bust
ness it means that they must deal in
other than Pennsylvania goods. Some
have already bought heavily of Ohio
and Connecticut tobacco, but there are
quite a number who have nothing in
stock, and nobody will be surprised if
some of these men quietly drop out of
the tobacco trade.

INFORMATION TO VOTERS.

The following instructions are given
for the information and guidance of
voters: A voter upon entering the poll
ing place, and giving his name and res
idence, will receive ballot from the
ballot clerk, which must have endorsed
thereon the names or initials of both
ballot clerks, and no other can be used.
Upon receiving his ballot the voter must
retire, alone, to booth or compartment
and prepare the same for voting. A ballot
clerk may inform the voter as to the
manner of marking a ballot, but he must
not advise or indicate in any manner
whom to vote for. To vote for person
whose name appears on this ballot as a
candidate for any city Office, you must
place cross (X) or mark in the square
after the persons name. Ii you desire
to vote for any person whose name is
not printed on the ballot, write his name
in the blank space provided for that
purpose, and place cross *, or mark
as before stated.

IT MAKES little difference whether
they like it or not, the fact is demo-
cratic statesmen must turn about on
the tariff and secure from that source
some of the colossal revenues which
preparedness implies. In a recent
speech Congressman E. A. Hayes of
California asserted with truth that the
government lost $125, 600, 900 in revenue
during 1915 merely because of the
change in tariff policy. He also de-
clared that when the tariff on many
commodities was removed and they
were placed on the free list, the pur-
chaser in this country was compelled
to pay the same price as when duty
was levied under the tariff of 1909, thus
proving that the foreigner puts the
amount of the repealed duty in his own
pocket. Sugar, it is pleasing to know,
is to bear its proper burden of tax; so
should coffee, tea and a. long list of
other articles. Income and stamp
taxes should not be increased, but ad-
ditional revenues be secured through
the indirection of import duties. The
prices the people are now paying for
the necessities of life shows that there
is little truth in the claim that the
duty on imported goods is paid by the
consumer. Madison Democrat.

Election Notice

A voter may vote upon a question
submitted to vote of the people by
making eros (X) or mark in the
square at the right of the answer which
he intends to give.
The ballot should not be marked
in any other manner. Ii the ballot be
spoiled, it must be returned to the ballot
CLERK, who must issue another in it's
stead, but not more than three in all to
any one voter. Five minutes time is
allowed in booth to mark ballot. In
official ballot Or memorandum to assist
the voter in marking his ballot, can be
taken into the booth, and may be used
to copy from The ballot must not be
shown so that any person can see how 1t
is marked. by the voter. After it is
marked, it should be folded SO that the
inside cannot be seen. but SO that the
printed Endorsement and signatures of
the ballot clerks on the outside may be
seen. Then the voter should pass out
OF the booth or compartment, giving his
name to the inspector In charge of the
ballot box, hand him his ballot to be
placed in the box, and pass out of the
voting place. A voter who declares to
the presiding officer, that he is unable to
read, or that by reason of physical disa
bllity he is unable to mark his ballot,
can have assistance of one or two cleo
tion officers in marking same, to be
chosen by the voter; and if he declares
that he is totally blind, he may be assist
ed by any person chosen by him from
among the legal voters of the city. The
presiding officer may administer an oath

ferent offices and the party or principle
they represent are as follows:

Muzzling Contagious Diseases.

If every sufferer from grippe, colds,
tuberculosis, measles, humps, scarlet
fever, whooping cough, diphtheria and
sore throat could be induced to hold a
handkerchief over his mouth when he
coughs or SneeZes, the number of cases
of these diseases would at once be re-
duced tremendously. In coughing and
sneezing a fine atomized spray is
thrown out which floats out and around
the room not unlike tiny balloons.
These droplets, small as they are, are
capable of carrying sufficient number
of germs to enable an individual whose
resistance is low to contract the dis
ease, especially when in prolonged con-
tact with victim or in short contact
with number of victims.
Experiments have been conducted
with harmless germs by which it has
been proved that culture plates (glass
dishes containing good soil for growth
of germs) could be infected or .Sseed-
ed" during coughing and talking at a
distance as great as IL feet, and in
draughts as far as 90 feet. From this
it will be seen that large congregations
of people are to be avoidhd by suscep-
tible people when contagious diseases
are prevalent.
One student on investigating the
manner in which disease germs are
transmitted from one to another. found
that some of the little droplets of in
fected saliva elected during coughing,
sneezing and talking might float about
in the still air of room for five hours.
These facts make it easy to compre-
bend how necessary it is for people to
adopt new methods of avoiding the
giving" and taking" of diseases
which attack the nose, throat and
lungs.
Consideration of the laws of hygiene,
of self-preservation and of common
politeness demand that handkerchief
be held before the face during cough
ing or sneezing.
Ultimately most people will resent
Indifference to these laws as they now
do careless splitting and other offensive
personal habits.

The Railway Wage Question.

The publicity bureau of the Associa-
ton of Western Railways has issued
an exhaustive statement relative to the
demands by railway employees for the
so-called hour day contract. The
railways assert the demand is in reality
not based upon 8-hour days, but means
simply an increase of wages of more
than 100000, 900.
What the men are asking for is
reduction of Is per cent in the number
of hours they must work before they
will begin to draw pay for overtime,
this overtime to be at rate of SO per
cent higher than the proposed regular
hourly rate and 87a per cent higher
than the present overtime rate.
The total wages paid engineers, fire
men, conductors and trainmen increas-
ed from 1929, 900, 900 in 1904 to $751;
$4,000 in 1914 The wage increase in
ten years was 50 per cent, or over
three times as great as the percentage
of increase in the number of employees.
In the western district engineers now
average $1816, fremen $1O84, conduc-
tors.Sl599, other trainmen $1O58.
The four classes named not only get
the biggest wages paid by the rail-
ways, but they have received in the
past ten years higher rate of in
crease in wages than other classes of
employees. Furthermore, it exceeds
the rate of increase in pay of general
and other railway officials in the past
decade.
In only one way can the railroads af-
ford to pay wage increase of $780,
900, 900 to engineers, fremen, conduc-
tors and trainmen This is by adding
that sum to the amount the public now
pays for passenger and freight rates.
Under these circumstances does the
public want to pay higher rates?

ON THE question of instructing dele
gates to the Republican national con-
vention, this should be remembered:
LaFollette has absolutely no chance
whatever to be named by the conven-
ton, but by being tied up for him the
delegates from this state would be de-
prived of all voice in the selection of a
candidate. Why should Wisconsin de-
liberately gag itself at SO critical a
period? 1t owes it as duty to itself
and to the nation to assist in choosing

tended meeting of the stockholders
Of the Equity Cooperative exchange.
1t was voted at the meeting to in

it's increasing business on a larger
scale.
Other business was transacted, but
mostly Of routine nature.
Mr.. Lee stated to the Times-Record
that so farmers elevators in Montana
had joined the exchange, and likewise
many in Minnesota. The report on the

the information that it would be fin
