Atlanta, Ga, April 21.-The state
Agricultural Department has taken
up with the Federal authorities in
Washington the matter of tyring to

such food supplies as the government
IS going to need, to be immediately

immediate market for such products
OF die farm as the government car
use when these products are being
harvested, exclusive of whatever other
markets may be afforded at that time.
In the meantime the Market Bureau
of the Agricultural Department is
listing and systematizing the growers
of the state and the buyers who are
or will be in the market, in order to
have them ready by the harvest pc
period.

THE EFFECT OF THE WAR
ON THE TOBACCO CROP

The tobacco men of Virginia and
North Carolina-groWers leaf deal
ers. manufacturers and a1l-are now
much more interested in the crop Of
tobacco that is to be made this year
than they are in the one that was
made last year and is row-veTy nearly
sold out, says the Richmond Times
Dispatch Every day, men are asking
what effect is all Of this war talk GO
ing to have OH the markets when we
come to convert the crop that is yet
to be made into money. OF course,
if tobacco is to be low and the de-
mand for the weed light because of
war or for any other reason, the plan
, ters will put in short crop; that is,
if they can by any means obtain any
accurate information on that subject.
Hence the inquiries
| 1t is the opinion Of experts and
/ statisticians that the growers can
make no mistake in putting in the
! usual size crop. and some of them
go as far as to say that they will do
well to enlarge the acreage this year.
Reasons for Optimism.
The crops have been short for the
past three years, and during last year
there was not enough leaf tobacco
in the land to meet the actual demand,
and that is why the price for last
years crop went so high There will
be just as great demand, and per-
haps greater, all of this year and next
year. War with Germany certainly
will not in any way curtail this de
mand This country is not now ship
ping any tobacco to Germany and has
not shipped any of any consequence
there for three years There will be
little if any curtailment of the demand
from England, France and the other
European countries other than Ger
many The consumption of the weed
in the United States is increasing ev-
cry day i'll the year and the japanese
calls for Virginia and North Carolina
tobaccos are growing rapidly. More
leaf will certainly be called for this
year than last, and any Virginia
grower who curtails his crop on ac-
count of the war talk will make mis-
take. This does not mean that the
growers should plant every available
acre in tobacco. On the contrary
They ought to make sure of huge
crops of eatables first, and then plant
out all of the tobacco they can man.
age successfully. 1t is almost Ger.
tain that there will be just as much
demand for the leaf next fall and win.

in hair care they find it dangerous to

have the best hair wash and scalp

cents, one need only get package Of
canthrox from your druggist; dissolve
a teaspoonful in a cup Of hot water
and your shampoo is ready. This
makes enough shampoo liquid to ap-
ply it to all the hair instead of Just

hair dries rapidly, with uniform color.

quickly dissolved and entirely disap-

this your hair will be so fluffy that il

lustre and softness will also delight

Judge Takes Look
And Dismisses the
Paxton Hotel Case

Police Judge Fitzgerald was his
own moral squad Friday afternoon
when he probed conditions at the
Paxton hotel. The aftermath OF his
investigation was that Fred Mason
of the Paxton was discharged by the
court Saturday. He was charged
with lifting the lid after 8 p. M, and
had been arrested by Sergeant Rus
sell and the moral squad.
In preliminary hearing Friday
morning in police court, Mason of
fered an alibi He said that the three
bottles of beer which Detective Cum
ningham found near" the dumb ele-
vator in the cellar were set there by
him for his own personal use and
were not for sale.
He further testified that the noise
which the sleuths heard coming from
behind locked doors was made by
bottle washers in room adjoining
the service bar and was not made by
bacchanalian revels, as the police in
timated.
The judge went to the Paxton hotel
after court adjourned and had the
head bartender pilot him about the
premises. He looked at the dumb
elevator and examined the bottle
washing room and found that condi-
tions coincided with the alibi offered
by Mr.. Mason.
There has not been enough evil
dence submitted in this case to es-
tablish the guilt Of the defendant"
said the court in dismissing the case.
The mere fact that an officer heard
somebody shout take ii off, and later
that officer found three bottles OF beer
near dumb elevator, does not con-
stitute evidence sufficient for convic-
ton"

DERANGED BY BLOW,
RICH MAN IS SOUGHT
Friends Of Charles Kaufold
Think He is Out of His Head
and in Trouble.
CARRIED MUCH MONEY

That he was drugged and robbed
and hit over the head with such force
that his mind has become deranged,
is the fear of the friends OF Charles
F. Kaufold, ll24 Capitol avenue. He
left home March 20, they tell the
police, and had much money on his
person. He has not been seen since.
Kaufold was arrested Tuesday on
the charge Of recklessly riding horse
and being cruel to dumb animals. Po-
lice say that he was galloping at a
mad clip through the streets and was
faying the horse numerically. When
searched at the police station he had
$40 in his trousers pockets. He posted
$40 of that money as bail for his ap-
pearance the next day. He forfeited
the bail money and has not been home
since,
Report Disappearance.
Two of his friends reported his dis
appearance to police Saturday morn
ing. They said that Kaufold has $l00
wrapped around his feet inside his
socks in addition to several hundred
more which he intended to deposit
to bind purchase of property which
he was to make that very day. The
value Of the property he was to buy,
his friends say, was $1,000 and they
believe he had good part of that
sum with him.
The only explanation his intimates
can offer for his wild ride through
Omaha streets on the last day he was
seen Is that he was temporarily ie-
ranged and they attribute his de-
rangement to either a drug or a blow
c. the head.
