Fulton Community Building.

The past year has been an active and
memorable one in the large task OF
community building in Fulton. In all
such building the young people must be
given a very large consideration. So
the very first point Of attack was an
enlarged and improved equipment for
social center and boys welfare work
AS result of united effort, the peo-
Piles hall, held in trusteeship by the
church, was improved to the extent of
$500. Hardwood floors, raised roof,
a kitchen addition and furnace make
the equipment complete. In this whole
some environment, under the direction
Of the Y. M. C. A., the boys last win
ter kept the "ball rolling" as often as
four nights week.
The church life has also received a
new impetus. During the summer the
church has been practically filled every
Sunday. t'Auto Sunday" was great
feature, when about 80 autos were
parked in the grove, while their owners
were listening to an address on ''The
Balky Carbureter." There is live
Mems Organization, meeting every
Sunday morning, and from time to time
brings prominent men to the commun-
ity to discuss important social prob
lens. This summer there appeared
DR.. W. D. Stovall Of the University of
Madison and Richard Lloyd Jones of
the State Journal.
The Sunday school has almost doubled
its attendance, and is now rapidly
reaching towards the 100 mark. It is
actually pushing out the walls of the
church, and talk about proposed plans
of new addition to meet the growing
need is in the air.
In addition to these activities, there
is the Social Center meeting twice each
month, which is public forum for the
discussion of all interesting questions,
and social clearing house, to meet the
recreational needs of the community.
Who would not like to live in place
such as this? Anyone considering rural
life would do well in giving Fulton a
fair consideration. Fulton is the most
beautiful village in Rock county and is
a leader in the new and important
movement for the conservation of rural
life

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page ~
NEW YORK, Sept. IL, 1917.

The news of disastrous frosts in Wis
consin, Connecticut and Pennsylvania
has given the trade something to think
about. The hope of the entire indus
try had been that the 1917 crops would
give an abundant yield of tobacco that
would mitigate the shortage that has
been experienced this year. With the
hail damage reported from New Eng
land in the past month, this last event
makes the realization of such hope
impossible. Even if all the domestic
crops had been large and abundant,
there would not have been more than
enough tobacco to meet the demand.
Every plant that was growing was
needed and needed badly. While full
information as to the damage done will
not be Forthcoming for day or two,
there is reason to fear that the situa-
ton is extremely bad. Frost came two
weeks earlier than usual, and the crops
in the states mentioned are two weeks
late, so that the first frost of the sea-
son caught an unusually large portion
of the crop out in the fields. From
Connecticut comes the information that
the Shadegrown crop was not injured
the portion still in the fields being pro-
tected by the cheesecloth. Leaf.

,ast week considerable tobacco was cut

mast week considerable tobacco was cut
but cutting is not general and-Wlll not
be for some time, for it seems as
though the growers mean to keep back
cutting until the very last moment,
and so far they have had nothing to
make them nervous on the score OF
frost. The tobacco already put in the
shed has had the best kind of weather
for curing and looks fine.
Thursday, Sept. 13.-Extensive dam
age to the tobacco fields was caused on
Tuesday morning by a heavy frost and
again on w ednesday morning there was
another severe frost which, while not
so severe, again did damage. Not in
the annals of the weather bureau is
there another year when such cold
weather was experienced so early in
September. Growers generally be-
lieved there would be several weeks
before any frost would put IN its ap-
pearance and for this reason had been
making no special efforts to get their
tobacco housed early, preferring to
give it the benefit of more time for the
purpose of allowing it to properly ma
ture.
At the time of the frost's arrival
about 40 per cent of the crop had al
ready been housed and therefore this
portion is unaffected. Of the 90 per
cent remaining out in the fields about
10 per cent was badly damaged and an
other 10 per cent partly touched.

"rHANK God! America has found her
soul at last. Prosperity has not ener-
waited her manhood or dimmed her WIS.,
ion," said Justice Winslow in an ad-
dress urging united loyalty to our
country. "There is being conducted in
the state campaign of thinly yelled
opposition to the war amounting to
practical disloyalty. The problem is
now how it shall be made plain to every
citizen that there is but one thing a
patriot can do and that is to stand be-
hind this government. The answer is
simply that there must be organization
and devoted work. Much can be done
by public meetings and speeches, by
circulars and by the formation OF local
clubs, but more, believe, can be done
by the newspapers. The newspapers
WELD constant influence. They go to
the home and the fireside and with
their silent but effective message they
reach thousands who would never at
tend a public meeting. They are on
the table around which the family
gathers in the evening hours; they are
read and reread and discussed by all;
they are both teachers and preachers
whose message is ever being delivered.
They have already done much to make
the present issue understood by the
people and we all honor them for it;
but much more effective work can be
done by organization and by co-operat-
ing with each other"

LANCASTER, PA, Sept. II, 1917.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. II, 1917.
The Lancaster county tobacco grow
ers and the packers have virtually
come to a deadlock on prices. One
wants the goods but will not give the
price. The other won't sell except on
his own terms Some crops have al
ready been sold, some of them last
week, from twenty to twenty-four
cents being paid, but the quantity Sc
cured was not great. AS a rule, the
grower prefers to hold his crop until it
is stripped, as being more satisfactory
all around because then the dealer
could see Just what he was bargaining
for and there would be less likelihood
of trouble at delivery time. The grow
ers go on the presumption that they
will be certain to get later at least as
much as they would get by selling now,
and there is little room for doubling
that their reasoning is correct. AS a
matter of course the grower will sell
before his crop is stripped if he gets a
stiff price for it, because that is his
ultimate object.
The recent favorable growing wealth
er has had the effect of developing the
crop splendidly, and it is now very
much more uniform than it was two
weeks ago. Indeed, the improvement
within the past week has been very
noticeable, though it must not be sup
posed that there is not lot of small
tobacco that will require some weeks
more growth if it is to amount to any,
thing. Every thing now depends on the
weather. If there are plenty of warm
DAYS and nights it will turn out won
derful crop, some experts say record
breaker as to weight, for the leaves as
a rule are large and heavy, the kind
that tobacco buyers want. Taken all
IN all, not very considerable percent
ace has been touched by hail, and lot
of that which was was cut early in the
season, and the effects of the damage
are not very apparent. During the

Skill With a Skillet.

A writer In the Woman's Home Com
panion says:
Where we are living at present we
have no gas range, only two burner
plate, and the coal range is so large
that it requires great deal of fuel to
heat the oven sufficiently to bake even
a few mullins or biscuit, so that have
tried to find satisfactory substitute
that could be cooked in skillet. By
using the skillet dry and sprinkling it
lightly with -four bake very enjoyable
biscuit cake or scone. For these use
simply a biscuit batter made trife
sitter, patted or rolled to about a
quarter inch thickness. One must be
sure to have the fire or gas low enough
not to burn the outside Of the scone
before the inside has time to cook suf-
Aciently. If gas is used a more even
distribution Of the heat may be obtain
ed by using heated lid from the stove
under the skillet, or heavy piece of

Waste In Food.

EAT what is on your plate may
seem to many people to be new table
precept, yet it has been practiced for
many years in certain little communi-
ties nestled among the rugged hills OF
New England, where the waste of food
is regarded as almost crime. Hang
ing on the walls Of many houses in
these communities may be found the
liable Monitor" perhaps worked in
worsted or cardboard and setting forth
this sentiment, which somehow has a
characteristic old time New England
ring:
Prosperity may roll with ample flow,
Still to be priced. that 1t may widely
bless
The world is full enough Of want and
woe;
I will not mock with selfish wasteful-
ness.

The Economy of Labor.

Perhaps the greatest horror of war
time is not with the men on the fight
ing line There is the sinister specter
of famine that waits to kill the civilian
population. The people of this country
are beginning to realize the necessity
of economizing on foodstuffs.
When it is remembered that eight
billion dollars must be found in addition
to the usual four billions which consti-
tute our normal earnings, it will read
ily be understood that the situation is
serious indeed.
Other countries have turned to US to
help them in their need. The United
States has no one to whom she can
turn in her own extremity.
Everyone who refuses to cooperate
to the utmost of his ability in the bust
ness of winning the war is just as truly
a Stacker as the man refusing to fight.
Only unanimous self-sacrifice and
recognition of obligations can win out.
Events must make it increasingly plain
that the issue is no child's play. Grit
and every mans hand where he can
best help is the only way. Labor be-
ing at present the biggest deficit, it is
the iuty of all to fill the positions de-
manded. Those who have never toiled
before have done their Obi" in Great
Britain. Women have worked with a
will and prevented the absence of the
men from hampering the national need
of munitions and other tasks that came
their way.
Free choice makes the best workers.
To give as generously of effort as one
does of money is sometimes the severe
test of character. But it is this way
that victory will come. = Milwaukee
News.

CORPORATIONS and individuals spent
S93. 600 on the "third house" in work
ing for or against legislation during the
last session, according to figures flled
with Secretary of State Merlin Hull IN
compliance with the lobby law. The
number who paid or received this
money was between 400 and 5OO. Ihls
is too large a sum of money to be en-
ployed for such purposes. Much OF 1t,
no doubt, was expended in an effort TO
prevent restrictive legislation : laws
that would prove injurious to business
our citizens are engaged in-rather
than legislation the people are demand
ing. It is hard for most people to un-
derstand why it is necessary to main
tain such expensive Hobbies whenever
legislatures convene.

People Who Rarely Wink.

There are people who rarely wink.
How they manage to get along with
out doing so is a marvel, but some
how or other they do. Some eyes are
naturally more moist than others, and
the very moist eye does not so much
need the assistance Of the lids to keep
the eyeball bright. It is a constitu-
tional matter, for winking, though
under the control Of the will, is done so
quickly that it is practically an invol-
untary action. Men wink when they
feel that the eye Is uncomfortably dry,
and when it does not become dry the
necessity for winking is not felt.

WANTS BRIDGE PLANS CHANGED

1t begins to look as if the Marion
county court and the Salem Commercial
club are already sick of the bargain
they made last week with the Polk
county court over the bridge situation
By the agreement signed at that time
the bridge was to be built after plans
that were submitted last January by the
state highway engineers; Polk county
was to pay $4,000 when the bridge is
completed, and to pay 30 per cent there
after of the maintainence cost. The type
of bridge mentioned in the plans was a
high level steel structure. Now a peti.
ton is being circulated in both Polk and
Marion counties, asking the two courts
to agree to a change in the plans to per.
nit of low level bridge with draw
