POPE ISSUES TERMS ON
WHICH HE'LL ASK PEACE

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Brit
ish Embassy has issued this state
ment, based on it's dispatches from
London:
"a distinguished Belgian Jesuit,
Father Benusse, lately received by
the Holy Father, has given the fol-
lowing account of his audience to
Dutch chaplain in the Belgian army
on his return:
"'The Pope told me, and told me
to repeat along the trenches to men
and to officers and even to the King
himself, that he considers Belgium
has the right to complete reparation
from Germany and that he will new
err consent to offer his good offices
for re-establishment of peace unless
Belgium has all her territories in
Europe and Africa restored her with
plenitude, her liberties and her in
ternational rights as they existed be-
fore, and this without prejudice to
her claim for an adequate indemni-
ty to be fixed after a minute inquiry
and inventory of all public monu-
ments destroyed, after rebuilding
factories and private houses and res,

Once upon q time in bustling
semi-metropolis there lived an old
geeser whose ability to see money at
long range was heralded for miles
around. Once he had caught sight
of a dollar he never rested until he
had annexed it unto himself, and
when thus annexed it were as easy
to separate the two as it would have
been to dig the Panama canal with
a barn shovel. This old geeser near
ly always walked on the soles of his
feet to keep the heels from running
over, and he wore celluoid collars to
save laundry bills. He also wore all
the whiskers he could grow to stave
off barber bills and to make neck
ties unnecessary.
One day, however, while he was
on his way to foreclose a mortgage
on the home of blind widow with
six small children, he was taken i'll.
They hauled him into a hospital be-
cause he was too i'll to protest, and
after carefully diagnosing the case
the physicians said that by keeping
him perfectly quiet . might live a
week. But they We're mistaken. One
of the nurses had told him what il
was costing to stay in the hospital
and he died to save further expense.
That night his debtors held a jubilee
convention and his money was be-
queathed to a nephew whom the old
man had never seen.
Two months later, when the estate
was settled, the nephew exchanged
a big chunk of the old geezer's kale
for limousine and he and certain
girl would ride out to the cemetery,
eat peanuts while sitting upon the
old mans grave and mediate upon
how wearisome life is.
MORAL-A miser is a fine thing
to have for an uncle.

AN APPROPRIATION
THAT SHOULD BE CUT

A bill has been introduced in the
State Senate to cut the State appro-
priation for the Kentucky Children's
Home from $4,000 to s25, 900. This
is not a State institution, but one
which the State has helped to foster
with financial assistance. 1t is a
splendid thing to gather up the
children that have no parents, or
else have parents too poor to care
for them and find homes in which
the little ones are adopted. II ap-
peals strongly to the people of Ken
lucky and for that reason 1t has Sc
cured very liberal financial support
from the State treasury. However.

He Mas Going Some.

A New York motOrist, known for
his reckless driving, recently had for
a passenger on record-breaking
trip to Boston a man who had never
been in the car with him.
The passenger was scared to
death, but he managed to hold his
tongue until it was nearly shaken
out of his head by one terrific dash
through an unknown country.
"What was that place We just
passed through?'' he yelled in the
ear of the driver.

IL is a matter Of grave doubt wheth-
er the State should put up money
for any institution or for anything
else that 1t does not control or di-
rect. Another reason why we are
inclined to think that the appropria-
tion should be cut, down, is on ae-
count of the large salary list that is
now maintained. The salaries paid
out for the Home amount to over
$4,000, and Mr.. sehon, the Super

Commerce and Finance of Janu-

the wondrous story of cotton seed.
The publication places its value
commercially at far more than $780,
100000 a year, and its oil in 1915
alone valued at more than $4,000

seed was regarded as a worthless
waste. Now 1t enters into food,

AMERICAN EXPORTS
REACH FABULOUS SUM

Washington, Jan. 29.-American
exports increased 20 per cent In 1918
and reached a total of S3,555,OOO,-
600, breaking all previous records.
Figures by the Department of Com
merce show that heavy exports and
declining imports together set new
American trade balance record OF
S1,772, 100000. Imports were the
smallest since 1912.
The country's total foreign trade
exports and imports-passed the S5,-
600, 100000 mark during the year,
each month showing heavier exports
until DEFENDERS reached $359,OOO,-
900. The trade balance of close to
$4,000, 100000 was five times great
er than in 1914, when it stopped at
1924, 100000.
Exports have grown steadily and
rapidly for the last four years. the
European war checking outgoing
shipments only for a brief time. The
figures show that the war not only
cut imports, but changed their char
acter as well. Seventy-two per cent.
of last DEFENDERS imports were duty
free, against so per cent. free the
previous December. This is attrib-
uted to the British blockade, which
has cut off highly dutiable manufac-
tured products from Central Europe.

IMPORT LITTLE OF OUR WEED

At the present time when so much
stress is being laid upon the POSSIBLE
tiles of trade with South American
countries in all lines, a recent report
of United States Consul Robert Fra
zier, Jr., stationed at Bahia, Brazil,
contains statistics concerning the
Brazilian tobacco industry which are
interesting and timely.
Tobacco, it is stated, after cocoa.
is the most valuable crop produced
in the Bahia district, and forms
about 80 per cent of the total ex-
ports from that city alone. An idea
of it's Importance may be gathered
from the fact that exports of it
alone are worth about 100000
per annum, and consist of some CO.,
100000 pounds of leaf, not count
ing the large amount consumed in
domestic way. The total production.
greater than that of Cuba, and Ba-
hia leaf is regarded in Europe as
ranking next after the tobacco from
that island for filler purposes.
Most of the tobacco produced in
Brazil is grown in the eastern part
of the State of Bahia. By far the
greatest portion is exported, but a
large amount annually is manufac-
tured for domestic consumption.
About 37,000,000 cigars and H.
100000 cigarettes We're shipped to
other parts of Brazil from the State
of Bahia during 1915.
In ordinary years before the war
about 40 per cent of the exports of
leaf tobacco went to Hamburg, 40
per cent to Bremen and II per cent
OF Argentina, none going to the
United States. Shipments for the
United States invoiced at the Bahia
Consulate from January 1 to Novem-
Der "a, 1915, totaled 3.433,23S
pounds, valued at S49S,O92. 1t is
believed that most of this is for tenn
porary storage, to avoid the ravages
of the tobacco worms and to await
advantageous conditions for re-ex-
port to other countries.
Before the European war prices
for Brazilian leaf tobacco averaged
around lie per pound. Since war
was declared there has been con-
siderable fluctuation in the average
price due to varying conditions, and
err than lie and 12c per pound.
1t is estimated that the cigar pro-
duction without counting the out
put of countless small manufactur-
ers is more than 6O,O0O,O00 annu-
ally, and that the cigarette manu-
facture totals not less than $780,
100000.
The American tobacco brought
into Bahia is used only for blending
in the manufacture of cigarettes,
and that from other countries prin-
cipally for cigar wrappers. No man
ufactured tobacco is imported, and
it is not believed that there is any
opening for either American cigar
cites or pipe tobacco. The best CT
CARS, excluding extra large sizes and
fancy brands, retail at So per 100.
The fact that cigar boxes are manu-
featured in Brazil and are protected
by high import duties appears to-
preclude the possibility of importing
them from foreign countries.

the bibles position on woman. Man
