WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS.,. Dec. Z, 1917.

EDGERTON, Wis.,. Dec. Z, 1917.
1t seems quite probable that the to-
bacco crop has cured out much better
than was predicted earlier in the sea
son, for. we learn that q larger portion
has been removed for stripping during
the recent casing weather than was
thought possible would be ready until
at least after the holidays. Informa-
tlon comes from Vernon county that
the Bekkedal firm have already re-
ceived sixty acres of the new crop and
have assurance Of enough ready for de-
livery to warrant the opening Of one or
more warehouses. However, freezing
weather has now, set in and it is not
likely much more will be taken from
the curing sheds until the next casing
spell. But quite good start has been
made IN stripping where heavy stems
are not too abundant. It is hardly
probable there will be much warehouse
work attempted in the southern section
until after the holidays at least.
The report Of the largest transaction
in Wisconsin leaf for long months
comes from New York, the particulars
being given elsewhere in this paper.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases and 2 cars of bundles from
this market to all points for the week.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. 26, 1917.
Very little activity in leaf tobacco
has been evident the past week. A
scarcity Of buyers and many unsold
crops seem to be the chief features of
dull period. At this time of the year
manufacturers and buyers are usually
quibbling over domestic wrapper mo-
terial, but now differences of price
opinion keep the market inactive.
Many tobacco crops IN the vicinity of
East Hartford remain unsold, although
there have been reports of transactions
at very high prices. There is no doubt
that purchasers are plentiful, but here,
as in other localities, there is a stead
fast tendency on the farmers part to
hold for high prices. Growers believe
they can afford to wait until time
when crops are SO scarce that they will
command unprecedented premium and
buyers are decidedly reluctant about
paying anything like that. This atti-
tude has resulted in an apparent dead
lock.

NEW YORK, Dec.

NEW YORK, Dec. l, 1917.
The market continues to worry both
about lack of supply and the tremend-
Gus price raise. AS repeatedly pointed
out in this place the cigar leaf raiser
seems to have lost all proportion Of the
value of his crops.
Profiteering of the most reckless
kind seems to have come to him as a
mere pastime sport. Considering that
the Pennsylvania grower wants now 35
cents for his crop, the cost of which
means at least Accents to the packer
and manufacturer, when but a few
years ago he was craving 15-cent price.
Considering that the Ohio grower wants
now 25 cents for his crop when but a
few years ago 10 and IL cents was the
limit, how is the nickel cigar manufac-
increase of from so to 100 per cent in
his filler supply next year?
A raise of 100 per cent for his crop
by the farmer means an additional 10
to 20 per cent cost for marketing the
crops. Add to this worry the further
one Of the tremendous shortage by
the chief binder supply of our cigar in
uuSCIy, dIu every UUuy VIII nave " COA~
cede that the leaf market is not just
now walking on bed Of roses.
Where is any supply to come from to
help out at least part of Wisconsin's
normal yield? Of course, substitutes
will be sought, but where will they be.
found? New York state raises some
binders but not enough to fill the va
cancy. Connecticut Havana seed will
undoubtedly be gobbled up for that
purpose but even if every sprig of it
could be used as binders it could hardly
come near filling part Of the demand.
News therefore of the sale Of 5000
cases of Wisconsin by Water street
packer to one Of the largest cigar man.
ufacturing concerns will be received in
the present situation as one of the ex-
traordinary events of the market. No
body would have suspected that such a
quantity of Wisconsin was still held by
single packing house. But the COM
mercial genius of this packer has fur
nished the market already with many
other surprising transactions. Journal.

DAYTON, o., Nov. 20, 1917.
/ twenty-five cent tobacco last week
caused great excitement throughout the
tobacco growing section, and big lot
was purchased, but the price made
further advances. 26 cents, 27 cents
and 2S cents have been reported to
have been paid; 26 cents in good
many instances. 1t is even rumored
that the 3Ocent mark has been reached
but the report has not been verified.
Thirty cent tobacco, says buyer, will
hardly come before stripping time,
when the merits of the leaf can be
definitely determined.
Twenty-Five cent tobacco is one of
the things we have often heard talked
about, but never IN our long experience
have we been able to record that price
as an actual fact.

Paris is already bucking the busi,
ness of Greenville little and num-
Der of business men of that town have
expressed some uneasiness, though
the majority are of the opinion that
there is plenty Of business at Camp
Sewer, not only for Greenville and
Paris; but for another town or two
as we'll. Guessing the number OF
soldiers at Camp Sewer to be in the
neighborhood of 10000 and figuring
the monthly wage at $50 per month
each, counting officers and all, would
make $2,10O,0O0 a month, most OF
which is gathered in by Paris and
Greenville. That, of course, is only
a small portion of the money that is
spent here every month on account OF
Camp Sewer, since the ration ac'
counts and other supply bills total
an enormous sum.-Camp Sewer Cor

GETTING THE SOLDIERS MONEY,
How the Parasites Fatten at the EX.
pense of the Soldier Boys.

This story will deal with ''Paris'-
not Paris, France; but Paris, South
Carolina, moonshine city of over
growth city that has come into
existence for the purpose of relieving
soldiers of Camp Sewer of their
money in short order. Paris is a
csant four miles from Greenvilie,
toward Spartanburg, where the Pied
mont & Northern crosses the main
line of the Southern railway. A
very realistic description of it is to
be found in the old time dime novels
of Diamond Dick" series. The town
is a reminder of the days of '49, with
very little lacking except the saloons
and dance hall girls.
Upon the establishment of Camp
Sewer few months ago, Paris was
little else than bare fields under a
deep blue sky There were few
ramshackle buildings there; but that
was ALL Then began the influx OF

erected tables, a couple of moving
picture men came to Paris, photog'
rapher or two, then few fellows who
had been following carnivals with a

They are getting it, too. A restau'
rant man over in Paris got confiden'

me that he was clearing about $500
a week on $3.50 investment. A
barbershop proprietor who runs SIX
chairs, said his shop was taking in
anywhere from 500 to $500 8
week. Judging by the kind of shaves
and hair cuts they give in that place
they should make a million very
quickly.

PELLAGRA WILL BE
INCREASED BY HIGH
COST OF LIVING
South Carolina Press Warns Against
All Corn Diet.

The press of South Carolina is
sending out warnings concerning too
much corn meal as daily food. While
corn meal is highly nutritious and a
most palatable food it contains a
heavy pecentage of pellagra prophy-
Tactics and a too frequent use of it
as a food will tend to increase the
development of pellagra. This opin-
ion is gaining much credence in South
Carolina where pellagra has been
given much study by State and gov
ernment authorities.
In connection with this statement
it would seem a most propitious time
to tell the public of a remedy for
pellagra that has become accepted as
a dependable specific for this dreaded
disease.
Sulferro-Sol, while known to hum
dreds as the greatest Of all stomach
and blood remedies, has probabl
done more toward the healing and
eradication of pellagra than all other
remedies combined.
The proprietors of Sulferro-Sol
have on file in their office big thick
volume Of sworn affidavits from per-
sons who have been rescued from the
Affections of pellagra. Many of these
cases were in the last stages of the
disease and had given up all hope of
recovery.
Every druggist knows of the work
Sulferro-Sol has done in cases of ma
lignant pellagra and will gladly tell
you of it's medicinal worth.-adv.

the news stand. When one is selling
magazines and newspapers the other
is supposed to be in the law office
watching out for clients. One of the
partners told me that the news stand
is by far the best end of the business
of the firm, and Judging by the way
he was showing out best Sellers" etc,
it was easy to believe the statement.
Paris property owners are growing
rich right along. Wee lots sell for
large sums and small rude shanties

would the most desirable store in
Yorkville for month.
New buildings are constantly going
up over at Paris s'-mostly buildings
Of the most f1imsy character-erect-
ed as hastily as possible, the haste
being stimulated by a fear that the
boom might burst before the new
proprietor gets his showing at the
golden food. But no sooner is the
new establishment ready for busi-
ness than it becomes crowded to
capacity. If one would go over on
Paris mountain and gather up a
bushel of rocks, drill hole in each
one and draw red string through,
he could sell them to soldiers for %
cents each, without even so much as
going to the trouble of giving his
production a name. No matter what
it is if it's for sale it will sell.
Men who have been failures at
everything else are getting rich at
Paris by catering to the wants of the
soldiers. The correspondent ran
across a transfer driver the other
day who came to Paris from North
Carolina a couple of weeks back. He
had been renting forty acres of land
in North Carolina and he figures his
yearly gross income on the farm at
about $500. He heard of the bo-
nanza here, bought a "Flivver' and
started out as a transfer man. He
said the other evening that his gross
receipts have already totaled more
than $500.

In this regiment is a soldier who has
been making about $50 a week eN-
ira by working on barber chair

THE RED TRIANGLE MEN

Day by day week by week, the
call of the war grows stronger. Lit
tie by little, all Of us are realizing
hat this war is our national business
and every citizen must take some
part in it. There are thousands of
men who either untitled by age or
have not yet been called by draft
There are thousands Of men Of indie
pendent means who can afford to
do something for the cause without
much monetary compensation. And
to all such, the work of the Y. NJ.
c. q. makes a vigorous appeal
Almost everyone is somewhat
familiar with the magnificent work
the Association is carrying on among
the troops Of all the allied armies,
both here and abroad. There are
over three hundred fifty American
Y. NJ. C. A. men at work with the
United States army in France, and
more are going over on every ship
that sails. Adult 1900 men are on
duty with the soldiers in this coun-
try. This total of $500 will have
to be doubled by next summer if
the Association is to carry on its eff
forts at the same high tension. That
is to say, there is an unparalleled
opportunity for about $500 men Of
high calibre to do extraordinary SER
vice which is of just as much mill
tary importance as if they were to
carry bayonets over the top.
This is no call to ninnies and
milksops. The Y. M. C. A. needs
real men, preferabley men who have
had some broad and gruelling expe-
rience of life, men Of education, yes
but above that, men capable of I'M
derstanding, sympthy, and an inf
mite deal of hard exacting work.
Men who can turn a Ford inside out
men who can play the piano and
lead five hundred others in singing;
men who are trained in athletics;
men six feet high and three feet
wide and eighteen inches thick; men
who understand what Christianity
really means; men with humor and
leadership who have been earning a
hundred dollars a,week and are will
ing to live on ten dollars a week. In
other words, MEN.
That is exaggerated of course,
but purposely so; the Y. M. c. A.
work with the soldiers is no SWIVEL
ing job. Our armies need men who
can help to keep them happy,
amused and healthily busy in every
