LANCASTER, Z A., L eU. 1, 1910.
In answer to call sent out through
1,500 invitations by R. L. Kimbrough,
of tobacco pooling fame, just ffty-two
growers held meeting here on Jan.
28 for the purpose of making another
attempt at having the tobacco growers
of Lancaster county pool their inter-
ests. Mr. Kimbrough presented almost
the same scheme of organization he
tried to carry out something over two
years ago. The only difference now is
that the growers of the county are to
meet every October and fix the price
for the seasons tobacco.
Opinions vary concerning the charac-
ter of the 1915 crop Of Lancaster Co..
The writer went to the representative
of one of the concerns which were big
buyers last season and asked for his
candid judgment on the crop. And this

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Feb. IL, 1916.

EDGERTON, WIS.,. Feb. II, 1916.
The work of gathering in the remain
ing fraction of the 1915 tobacco crop is
being pushed along with considerable
vigor. Three-quarters of the sales are
made at or near an export or stemming
goods price and the balance ranges
mainly from 10 cents down, according
to quality. The price looks cheap but
very few growers seemingly care to
hold and case their crops even at these
figures so it looks that the country will
be rather closely cleaned up before
spring opens. Deliveries have been
made at the receiving points very lib
orally of late. The tobacco is weighing
out well and while the amount growers
obtain for this crop is nowhere equal to
that of other years, from $50 to S75 per
acre is quite generally realized, which
is something better than the cost of
production.
Old leaf is again moving quite freely
and there is quite an active demand for
1914 CPS" especially, of which some
900 or 700 cases have recently been sold
by local packers. The largest trans
action of the week is 780cs lot of IA
sold by the London association to Spitz-
ner. Hansen Bros sold about 400 cases
of '13 and IL leaf.
The shipments out Of storage reach
$50 cases and 16 car loads of bundles
to all points since last report.

SToUGHToN, Wis, Feb. A, 1916.

Receiving of tobacco bought in this
vicinity is now in progress here, and
yesterday saw the delivery of about
forty crops to Mcintosh Bros. of Ed
gerton. All of these crops, however,
made only sixty-ive loads, and some
which weighed as little as $50 pounds,
were hauled in on milk wagons. Many
farmers who last fall harvested only a
small portion their crops and plowed
under the rest, are now said to be sorry
that they didn't harvest all, such as it
was, for at the present, we are told,
tobacco, no matter how ragged it is.

Kitchen of the Paxton hotel. 1--WE have
housed capacity crowds every night SO
far this week.
All for Motor show.
II any more guests came oOn KNOW

Anderson of the Rome. 1T Is all the
more remarkable. too. because only one
, small convention has met in Omaha this
week, so that the big influx of hotel
guests has come almost entirely to attend
tho Auto show"
Our patrons are so numerous this week
that we reach capacity every night and
many guests are glad to double UP or

Gaines, proprietor of the Merchants

Council Declares
No Discrimination
Against Movie Men

Though scarlet fever germs are Just
as apt to take board and lodging with a

buildings or elsewhere, from testimony
before Judge Leslie in the case where in
Omaha movie exhibitors seek TO enjoin
the health department from excluding
children from theaters. the health de-
partment insisted that it acted within its
rights in adopting the rule.
The court room was crowded with per-
sons interested in the case. and the morn
Ing was taken up in examination of wit
nesses. A decision in the case will in all
probability be handed down tomorrow.
Health Commissioner Connell on the
stand denied that the movies are being
Disseminated against. He said that
youngsters are more apt to suffer from
the fever epidemic than adults. and that
he believes children should be kept at
home as much as possible as q matter
of precaution.

MANY FARMERS STILL
COMING TO AUTO SHOW

immigration Agent Howard Of the Bur
Hngton has returned from an extended
trip through the western part of the
state. On the sleeper on which he rode
from SCOTS Bluff there were twelve
farmers. all coming to the automobile
show and all expecting to purchase ma
chimes before returning home.
Mr. Howard asserts that the western
part Of the state is In splendid condition
for starting in the crop years and that
farmers are greatly encouraged over the
outlook. The wagon roads. however, are
in bad condition. and but little grain is
being marketed at country stations This
has had much to do with relieving the
freight car shortage that has been gen.
eral for the last three months.

.KIDDTES HERE HAVE
FOSTER BROTHERS
Boys and Girls Of Omaha Pledge
Themselves to Give Ten Cents a
Week To Help Orphans.
TO CURTAIL SOME LUxURIEs
Ry NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cd.


Last week we heard about the Omaha
grown-ups who pledged themselves to be
foster parents to French war orphans
This week a new light seems 20 have
dawned In the philanthropic world by the
entry OF the child. The idea is Of west
ern origin and Omaha is one Of the very
first cities TO grasp II.
While the parents are caring for foster
children in France, many little ones are
giving up accustomed luxury TO tho
amount OF 10 cents a day TO go for the
maintenance OF foster brothers and sis
ters in France. Each war orphan Is given
to some child, each has the name and
address OF the other and the correspon-
dence between them is to be strictly In
the French language.
OF course, the checks are given in the
names Of the parents OF the children, but
the child IL pledged to forego for each
day OF the year the spending Of 10 cents.
One little tot is quite too young as yet to
have had much Of voice in the matter,
year old but the mother will curtail
expenditure upon that child the requisite
amount.
Among the children pledged to this sac
rifce up TO the present time are Grace
and Esther Smith, the 10 and 9-year-old
daughters OF Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Crit
tenden Smith; Grace Chatham Redick,
the baby daughter Of the o. c. Redicks;
George Paul Borglum. 12-year-old son OF
the August Nothe Borglums: Elizabeth
and Virginia Barker. ~ and 10-year-old
daughters of the Joseph Bankers; Jean
Palmer. 70 years old, and daughter of
Mrs. George Palmer, and Eleanor Scott
daughter OF the Edgar SCOTS. Among
the younger set who have gone into the
philanthropy are Miss Marian Hamilton
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. Will Hamil-
ton and Miss Virginia Offutt. daughter
OF Mrs. Charles Offutt.
