DAYTON, o., Sept. 20, 1916.

On Sept. 16 at a. m. thermometers
stood at 80 and tobacco frosted, and on
Sept. II at a. M at so all over the
tobacco belt and half the crop froze.
Again we have one of those years end
ing in figure 6. In the past field buy
ing on those years, losses have fallen
on the buyers or packers. In 1916 the
growers will help stand the loss. Now
you can see men who bought in the
field going around making new bargains
for the frosted tobacco and are having
a high old time shaping things up. The
loss in this state will run over million
dollars to growers.

more difficult to get reliable informa-
ton as to the damage done, there is
little hope that any of the tobacco that
remained in the fields will produce ma
terial for the cigar factories. Coming
as this does upon a shortage of mater
ial the like of which the trade has
never seen before, accompanied by its
natural sequence of high prices, the
trade cannot view it otherwise than as
a castrophe. The early tobacco, of
course, had been placed in the. barns
and suffered no damage. -Leaf.

Airing a Room.

In airing a room there are two things
to be remembered-frst that the i'm
pure air must be allowed to escape
and secondly. that fresh air must be
admitted. Impure air in a room is al
ways warm and will therefore rise to-
ward the ceiling. when it will escape
if the window is opened at the top,
while cold fresh air will enter through
the lower part of the window when
opened.

Science and Nations.

True revolutionists, believe me, the
real men of action, who are promoting
truth and justice for the morrow, are
scientists. Governments fall and pass
away; nations grow, shine with splen-
dor and decay. But what matter? The
discoveries Of science will go ON, will
increase, will give mankind more and
more light and certainty. The close Of
a century is small matter; the march
of human progress will always be re-
sumed; human nature will insist on
having knowledge, whatever may be
the obstacles. 1t is foolish to object
that we can never know anything; We
have got to know all we can that we
may attain the greatest happiness.
And therefore say, How foolish are
all the political disputes that excite
nations! While the salvation of prog
ress is supposed to be involved in the
fate of ministry, it Is really the sci
entist-the man Of learning-who will
be the master of the future when he
shall be able to enlighten men with a
new spark Of truth. All injustice shall
cease when truth shall reign.-Emile

Honor at Gravesend
Dance.

Tonight Marjorie Is TO be the guest
of honor at dance in Library Hall,
I'll Gravesend Avenue. Two Of her
friends, Ethel Viola Brown and Grace
Marjorie Buckham, have entered the
ranks OF those giving some of their
time and energy toward the battleshlp
fund that little Marjorie Sterrett be-
gan in February by sending in her dime
and asking that Americans be as patri-
otto as Swedish and German people
have been in former times. She was
sure that our American boys and girls
loved their land well enough TO sub
scribe their dimes for a battleship.
She was sure. too, that the parents
of those boys and girls would encour-
age them in this patriotic work. espe-
cially wher our Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives at Washington were not GER
tain how much money they could spare
for proper protection. Now that our
appropriations have not been very large
for the army and the navy, it is all the
more important that we show our de-
sire for navy so big that no nation
will dare interfere with our peace.
