REUNION OF BIBLE
CLASSES

Continued from page one)
Then come to the gospel feast
Next time the Glasses meet,
And when you know your loss
The loss you will regret.
March on, Christian Soldiers,
And win for God the field,
Storm the ramparts of error
Till the garrisons have to yield;
Break down the walls of unbelief,
= Let doubt no more enthrall
And Johnson City surrender
To Christ the all in all.
And the far-famed Johnson City,
With the Bible for a guide,
Shall lead in the march of nations
In the name of the Crucified,
At the Lambs blest marriage banque
We all may kiss his feet,
And all the Bible Classes
Be on the front seat.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July II, 1916
Almost unbelievable improvement in
the Connecticut valley crop in the last
two weeks justi1es hopes of an aver
age yield perhaps little better To
those who watched the day-to-day
progress from early in May when the
plants in the seed beds approached the
requisite size for setting out in the
fields, who saw day after day of cold
rainy weather, with weeks at a time
when the sun did not shine on two con-
secutive days, the transformation is
almost modern miracle.
The crop is, of course, from two to
three weeks late, but the plants are
now coming along in remarkable style.
In some fields they are foot or four
teen inches high, or at the stage in
which the Weed-like growth of several
inches a week in about to begin. Here
and there may be found a field of poor
tobacco. but the great'bulk of the crop
is thrifty and promises to prove far
more satisfactory at harvest time than
was the case last year. Moreover, it
may be said without qualification that
the new crop is in far better condition
than the 1915 crop was at this date. In
addition the new crop is rapidly i'm
proving in condition, while year ago
the crop was settling into decline.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

We are we'll towards the end of the
third week of midsummer heat when
temperatures reach 90 or above. wealth
er decidedly suitable for the develop
ment of the tobacco crop except for
the enormous radiation of moisture
from the SOIL A drouth which had be-
gun to show its pinching effects on
vegetation was partially broken by
rains in much of the tobacco territory
and relief is only temporary at best
while the heated spell continues. The
hot days are sending some of the more
forward fields towards an early bud
and spindling plant. The first hail to
do damage to the crop also covered
small areas. However. the crop has
not suffered to any great extent so far,
but general rain and cooler weather
must soon be Forthcoming.
The market for cured leaf has devel-
oped no news of Importance. There is
some trading in moderate way going
on that is all the time reducing stocks
that are none too plenty in the local
markets.
The shipments out of storage reach
45Ocs from this market to all points

Even the coming Of the dog days has
not caused any abatement in the activ-
ity in cigar leaf circles. This activity,
as has already been explained, is based
largely upon the tremendous demand
for tobacco for export, but not entirely
so. 1t is heightened by the fact that
tobacco of the grades used by Ameri-
can cigar manufacturers is not abun-
dant, owing to the shortness Of all of
the 1915 crops. The export demand
having taken up not only the grades
usually exported but also certain grades
that hitherto have been looked to by
manufacturers of the cheaper grades
of cigars, there is genuine shortage
of tobacco for domestic manufacturers
use. The large cigar manufacturing
concerns who do their own packing are
of course as we'll fortified as usual, as
are also some of the medium sized con-
Germs that are managed by foresighted
men. But there are many houses that
are in actual need of goods, and that,
despite the high prices ruling, are in
the market for goods. 1t must be said,
to the eternal credit of the majority of
the leaf dealers, that they are not TAX
ing advantage of the situation, and are
not exacting ali they could for their
merchandise

Animation is holding up in the leaf
market and rightly so, as prospects
were never brighter for larger sales
and larger returns. Worry about the
selling capacity of the new seed crops
has ceased, not because these crops
have greatly improved since harvesting
time last year, but because everything
in both domestic and foreign leaf types
is bound to find consumption in the
steadily increasing cigar production.
The clearance of the thousands and
thousands of cases of old accumulated
stock in the seed leaf tobacco districts
at unexpected profitable prices for ex-
port to serve by their conversion into
any kind of smoke for the millions of
soldiers in the European trenches has
created clean field for last years
crops. Consequently the market con-
ditions of the seed leaf trade have be-
come the most promising in recent
years as to quick sales and advantage
GUS returns. But the conditions con-
tinue to prevail also in the foreign leaf
tobacco market. Cuba, as our special
reports had it, has experienced the
same quick and profitable clearance of
it's old tobacco stock as our country
has, causing likewise there quicker in
vestments and advances in the new
crop. Some of the types of the new
Havana crop are acknowledged to show
Improvement in superior quality, while
the quantity of none of them has q
yield excessive for the normal con-
sumption. Moreover, with the i'm
proved quality of the Vuelta wrapper
portion and the Parti 10 filters the clear
Havana cigar industry is bound to re-
vive from its slump during the past
few years. Better tobaccos and more
prosperous times are sure to increase
the expansion of the clear Havana ci-
car trade. AS for the Sumatra there
seems to be no let up in its activity.
The limit to larger sales seems to be
only the unwillingness of the importers
to make concessions in price. j ournal.

Accompanying the announcement of
the Treasury Department that the
greatest balance in the general fund of
the United States treasury since 1903
existed at the close of the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1916, is the statement
of Secretary McAdoo, in part, as fol-
lows: Receipts from internal revenue
were unprecedented and remarkable,
reaching the enormous total of S5l2,-
740, 769. SO, and exceeding all previous
estimates by many millions. The large
receipts from internal revenue are due
in great measure to the unprecedent-
ed prosperity of the country. Receipts
from tobacco, for instance, were the
greatest in the history of the internal
revenue service. The exact total for
the year will not be available until the
returns have been analyzed, but for the
eleven months ended May 81, 1916, re-
ceipts from tobacco exceeded the IN

responding period of the previous year

gency revenue taxes. Receipts from
tobacco have always been an index OF

GLASS CUTS WOMAN
In AUTO COLLISION
Smashup on Jackson Road Re-
quireS 2 Hours to DisentangIe
Girl Unidentified.

A young woman, whose identity was
not disclosed, was injured in an auto
mobile collision at the intersection Of
the jackson and Perryville roads about
) o'clock yesterday afternoon. She
was severely cut on the arm and
thumb Of one hand by flying glass
from broken windshield.
The two cars that collided were
jammed together SO tightly that it
required about two hours work by
garage men to separate them and haul
them to town for repairs. Both ma
chimes were taken to Al F. Maurer's
garage on Independence street.
One of the machines was driven by
L. S. Kerren, a real estate salesman
connected with the NJ. E. Leming
Lumber Company. The other car, in
which the young woman who was in
jured was an occupant, was driven by
Leslie Afford, an employe of the Mey-
er-Albert Grocer Company.
Kerren was driving west on the
Jackson road and was approaching the
intersection where the Perryville road
Joins the Jackson gravel road, just at
the end of Fairgrounds park. Afford
was making the turn eastward to the
Cane. As he made the turn he lost
control of his car for a moment and
it continued turning in the road and
darted toward the fence. The two
machines met head-on and we're locked
together.
With the exception of the young
woman, no one else sustained injury.
The woman was taken to a physicians
Office in an automobile.
