Bucharest, the capital city of Ru-
mania, menaced with capture by
the Teutonic armies of Falkenhayn
and M~ackensen, offers the biggest
municipal prize in the Balkans. 1t
is by far the largest city and the
finest and richest in that part of
the warning world. The Pocket
Paris" as Bucharest was called be-
fore the var cast a damper on the
gay spirits of the people, claims a
population of about 100000, which
puts it in a class by itself among
Balkan capitals. Athens has less
than 100000 people, Sofia aDoGt
100000 and Belgrade, before it
was devastated by war, had less

Uses Auto To Kill Mice

A new method of exterminating
mice has been found by Barney
Wiley, a Lovelock rancher. He
connected a hose to the exhaust Of
an automobile engine and turned
the fumes down a mouse hole. The
effectiveness OF the scheme was
demonstrated when, on digging into
that they had all been killed.

has been lacking in the past week, but
there has been steady call for almost
all kinds of sound old domestic tobac-
cos, that, altogether, has made up
good volume of business. 1t is becom-
ing more and more apparent that the
1915 crop did not add greatly to the
quantity of desirable tobacco, and it is
also becoming apparent that the cigar
factories are consuming tobacco at a
much higher rate of production than
has been usual in the past year or two.
These two circumstances coming in
conjunction are believed to spell a
shortage of desirable material in the
latter months of this year. 1t all de-
ponds, of course, upon whether bust
ness continues good with the cigar fac
tories. Should production slow up, the
quantity of tobacco in sight may suffice
for the needs Of the industry. But ev-
cry one is hoping that production will
not slow up, and there now appears
good reasons for believing that it will
not.
Reports from the packing centers are
interesting. Much tobacco is now 60
ing over the table, and for the first
time it is possible to know what the
tobacco looks like. In most instances,
it is said, it is not very reassuring. =

Laundry Marks In Europe.

Laundry marks vary greatly in Eu-
rope. Those used in Britain consist
of certain small letters or figures stitch
ed in red thread. Not all continental
laundries are so considerable. In some
parts of France linen is defaced by
having the whole name and address
of the laundry stamped upon it and an
additional geometrical design to indi4
cate the owner.
In Bavaria every piece has number
stamped on in large characters. In
other parts of Germany a small cotton
label is attached by means of wa
terproof (hoO adhesive. In Bulgaria
each laundry has large number of
stamps engraved with designs, and in
Russia the laundries mark linen with
threads worked in arrow shapes.
In some Russian towns the police Pc
riodically issue regulations for laun-
dries, while in Odessa books of marks
are furnished annually to the laundry
proprietors, and these marks and no
others may be used. By this system
criminals and revolutionary agitators
are often traced.-LOndOn Mail.

The Bulldog.

The bulldog, unlike the majority OF
dogs, very seldom barks In fact, ow-
ing to the construction of his throat
his attempts at barking are more like
a burlesque of the real thing. He
wades into a fight without any vocal
warning, and the only sound he emits
is his heavy breathing. His courage
is astonishing, and the largeness Of his
opponent never acts as deterrent
when hostilities are imminent. Still, as
be is not a quarrelsome dog, he very
rarely INDUCES in street braWls, and,
as he is exceedingly good natured, it
takes lot to rouse him.
The modern bulldog is undoubtedly
a different looking animal from his
bullfighting ancestors. The most con-
spicuous improvements" introduced
by the present day fancy are large
ness of head, width Of chest, heaviness
of bone and more typical tail.

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. "a, 1911

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. "a, 1916.
The fourth annual Lancaster County
Farm Products Show was held here last
week for three days. The tobacco ex-
hibit was miserably small. There were
jdst twelve exhibitors of seed leaf fill
ers, ten of seed leaf binders and nine
of seed leaf wrappers, and two each of
Havana wrappers and filters and one of
Havana binders.
During the past week heavy deliv-
cries of the new crop have been made
at all of the warehouses belonging to
the purchasers of the new crop. Now
that the tobacco is coming in in large
enough quantities to size up defects,
it is apparent that there is a very great
deal of pole-burn goods. Where the
growers prove reasonable, the buyers
have their men clean this out, but when
the party making the delivery is not
reasonable, he is sent back home with
his goods The buyers gathered up the
crop in a hurry, but their contracts
were not prepared IN hurry, nor care
lessly, and the growers are being re-
uuired to live up to them. The price
paid, 10 and 8, is considered fair price
for this crop, and too much if the to-
bacco is not delivered up to contract.
Most of the growers appear to have re-
allied conditions very thoroughly, and
the bulk of them are trying to fulfill
their obligations. Those who kick over
the traces are brought up pretty short
with the check rein. Some of the pack
ers say this is about the highest crop
they ever saw in this county, the leaves
being as thin as Connecticut tobacco.
