S1RANGER
 THAN FICTION
A True Story For You.

It is with mingled feeling of horror and pity that healthy man or wo- man hears or speaks of Epilepsy and it's victims. How much greater the torture, mentally and bodily, of ac- tual suffereds from Epileptic attacks can only be imagined
 Eonvulsions, loss of consciousness terrible falls, etc., are bad enough in themselves, to be. and are dreadful afflictions, but the humiliation of publicity that so often accompanies these attacks causes as much mental as physical torture. Reinberger 6 Collier of Pine Bluff. have finally secured fully guaranteed remedy for Epilepsy. Hays Specific" the great system tonic has such stories as this to prove it's merit.
 Dear Sirs:-In answer to your re- quest for statement of my case, will say I had Epilepsy, or Fits, since I was four years old. One bottle of your medicine stopped them. passed twenty-five worms. l can recommend it to any one afflicted with Epilepsy.
 Yours truly,

 Persian Grain.
 The great arid wastes of Persia would lead one to believe that the
  country does not produce sufficient grain to supply the needs of it's popu- lation. Such, however. is not the case, and considerable quantities of grain are exported each year. The princi- pal grains grown are wheat, barley and rice. Corn is planted in small quantities, but is only used for roast ing ears. Oats and rye are seldom sown. Except along the Caspian coast Persian agriculture is dependent all most entirely on irrigation. The agri- cultural implements used in Persia are of the most primitive kind. Flows are made from forks of small trees with the addition of share of iron. It is stated to be doubtful. however, whether the yield of grain would be greatly increased by using modern blows. as there is no sod and this crude implement seems to stir the soil fairly we'll

NEW YORK. Nou. "A, 1916.

In spite of the fact that it is gener-
ally known that the new Connecticut
Shadegrown crop is twice as large as
last years was and that it contains
probably more than twice as much
choice wrapper material as any crop
hitherto grown, the scramble for the
new wrappers is just as great as ever
before. Manufacturers, brokers and
jobbers have been tnronging to Hart
ford and the outlying districts, and con-
tracts are being made as fast as the
Shadegrown producers will make them.
In fact, the buying of this crop is char
acterized by all the haste and irregu-
larity that has accompanied past sea-
sons.
In fact, the 1916 crop is estimated to
have furnished wrapper supply of a
year and half, according to the pres
ent rate of cigar production, and the
manufacturers are buying as if they in
tended laying in year and half sup
ply of wrappers. Leaf.

LANCASTER. PA.

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 10, 1916.
Lancaster county's new tobacco CROP
has practically been sold. Here and
there a scattering crop, or even little
nest of crops, may be found, but the
sum total of the tobacco remaining in
the growers hands is not sufficient to
cut any figure. The big concerns that
have for some years past bought up
the bulk of Lancaster county's crop
were in the field until almost the last
moment. Considering their heavy pur-
chases during the period when buying
was in full swing, it was not expected
that they would be in the field until
practically the end of the season, and
their staying qualities were not appre e.
ciated by lot of local men who were
looking for better bargains than were
afforded by the Is and Is cent tobacco.
Local packers got comparatively lit
tie of the new crop, but still rather
more than of the 1915. Some of the
county's leading packers did not buy an
acre, for the reason that they could
not see any money ahead on tobacco
costing Is and Is cents. Judging by
the prices now being paid for old goods
they believe a packer would have a
hard time coming out even on an in
vestment of this kind. They regard it
as all very we'll for cigar manufactur
ers to pay such prices, as they must
not only have the goods, but can find
their profit in their cigars. A packer
finds his profits in the sale of his pack
ing, when he finds any, and leading

agement of Al Schroede, Holtan To-
bacco Co., j.. H. Campbell, who has
leased the O. c. Lee warehouse, and
there may also be others, according to
report The pay for sorting usually
enables the man or woman to realize
good returns at the week end when the
pay check arrives. The Holtans will
need about 125 hands and work will
continue till along in April BY reason
of the high figures paid for the 1916,
owners of farms are now planning an
increase of acreage for the coming
year. Though the crop may be said to
be uncertain, none other pays as well

An interview with Mr.. Fred Hirsch-
horn, president of the United Cigar
Manufacturers Co., published in New
York trade journal, throws some light
on the cigar leaf situation: 'The prices
of raw materials rise and fall with crop
shortage and crop production. A
surplus of raw materials means lower
prices-a shortage means higher prices.
Labor shortage and surplus also have
an influence. In making clear the
application of these principles to the
cigar industry. Mr.. Hirschhorn, presi-
dent of the Cigar Manufacturers AS
sociation of America, summed up the
difficulties which now beset cigar pro-
duction in this country. His statements
reveal facts which are responsible for
the advance in prices which have al
ready been quite generally made to the
retail trade, and in some cases to the
consumer. "'The demand for raw ma
terial, that is, tobacco leaf, is greatly
in excess of the supply today" Mr..
Hirschhorn explained that according to
the best information available, this is
the third year in which Germany and
Austria have not planted tobacco for
their own consumption. 1t is fact
that Germany, in particular, has very
busily purchased tobacco leaf in this
country, taking all the surplus leaf in
the market. She has also bought heav-
lily in all other countries which produce
tobacco leaf. The worlds tobacco
market today, including of course that
of the United States, is on hand to
mouth basis, there being buyers for
every bale of leaf produced by the
growers. This is one cause for the re-
duced supply of tobacco leaf and the
increased demand, meaning, of course,
higher prices. Another still more i'm
portant condition has existed. The 1915
crop of tobacco was one-third below
normal. This is the tobacco, large
portion of which is being turned into
cigars and other forms of smoking this
year." he continued. ''The net result
of this contraction of raw material has
caused the cigar manufacturers to pay
this year so to so per cent higher prices
for their tobacco leaf than in normal
times. Also Cuban tobaccos are being
sold at sharp advances, prices being at
least one-third higher than normal.
The best judges of the future trend of
the tobacco leaf market say that re-
turn to normal prices for tobacco leaf
is not likely for at least three years.
1t is hoped that by that time the war
will be over, and normal production of
tobacco leaf will be restored in all to-
bacco growing countries.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, Nov "a, 1916.
The tobacco growing sections have
been favored with several days of
casing weather this week and where
the sheds have been opened to permit
the fogs to reach the interior of the
curing houses, the hanging leaf is in a
fair degree of casing and some portion
of the crop has been removed for strip
ping. The soft weather continued
long enough to bring the tobacco into
prime case and possibly too high in ex-
posed sheds, as an all night rain pre-
vailed Wednesday, and change to
colder has not yet at this writing
come. The growers are now anx-
iously awaiting a time when they can
commence stripping and if the present
damp lasts long enough receiving can
commence in time for the proceeds to
be used in holiday purchases.
There is only here and there crop
remaining unsold and these promise to
be gathered in during the receiving.
The only news in the market for old
leaf coming to notice is the sale of a
20Ocs lot of IA, the West packing at
Evansville, for the account of an east
ern manufacturer, and Toes lot of IA
binders by NJ. L. Carrier to jobber.

Exporters of tobacco will be inter-
ested to learn that it is understood that
new complications in the tobacco ex-
port situation are threatened by the
reported intention of the British gov
ernment to insist that American leaf
tobacco, in order to avoid consignment
to the Netherlands Overseas Trust or
landing in the Scandinavian countries
under guarantees that it will not be re-
shipped into Germany, must absolutely
be proven to have been sold, contract
sedsfor- or ordered on or before July Is
last. So far this reported Tightening
up of the British restrictions on export
tobacco destined for Germany ultimate
ly is to be applied to tobacco now held
in Dutch or Scandinavian ports, but it
is feared that unless the British gov
ernment changes its position, the same
restriction will apply also to tobacco
that is still on this side of the Atlantic
ocean, but which has been shipped by
rail for export to Holland, Denmark,
Norway or Sweden, ultimate destina-
tion Germany.
