MARKET VERY STRONG
IN This City Yesterday and a Very
Large Amount Of Tobacco Was
SoId--NO Sales at Any Of the
Houses Today.

The sales at the various houses yes
terday were very heavy and large
amount of the weed was reported
sold. The bidding was very spirited
on the part Of the buyers and much
OF the tobacco brought fancy prices.
A total OF 972,165 pounds was dis
posed Of. The Growers, Liberty, Peo-
pies, Home and Farmers and Plant
ers reported sales. The prices
paid for tobacco ranged from So to
SIS per hundred pounds. the latter
price being paid for a basket at the
Farmers and Planters, Messrs. j. l..
and F. Thomas of Dover being the
growers.
Yesterdays sales were the best OF
the season on this market. The aver
age for the day was the highest ever
known on this market before, al
though 1t did not quite reach SIS per
hundred pounds. There were very
few reflections at any Of the houses.
A report was circulated yesterday af-
ternoon that the market had fallen off
on account of the declaration of a
blockade on England, but this proved
false
The best average of the season for
any house was made at the Growers
yesterday, when 123,S15 pounds of to-
bacco sold at an average Of $1,000.
This is q record breaker for this mar
ket and certainly is some average.
The prices paid at this house ranged
from s11.5O to $50 per hundred
pounds.
There will be no sales on the local
market until Monday on account of
the fact that the redrying plants are
choked and cannot take care of the
vast amount of tobacco as fast as it
is being sold.
This is the second time this season
the houses have been compelled to de-
clare days vacation in order to al
low the dedryers to catch up. The
first sales Monday will be held in the
Central and Amazon houses.
The following are the reports Of
Yesterdays sales:

SAW HIS SHADOW

Col. |. NJ. A. Groundd Hog, Esq,
arose from his winter quarters this
morning and after taking one peek
at the landscape hastily hied himself
back into his den. Apollo drove his
fiery chariot this morning and his
brilliant rays convinced his pikship
that Old King Winter will reign for
another six weeks. We suppose that
will be good news for the coal mer-
chants, but at the same time it is
hard on the ice man.

SOME DROP

The markets took great drop yes

on a broader and more unrestricted
scale. Wheat dropped from Wednes-

Q$1.75. In New York City the big
gest break ever known occurred in
the cotton market. Maybe now we
will have another leak scandal.

GAINED2OPOUNDS
 ON TWO BOTTLES
Harry Wilson Felt Like He Couldn't Last Very Much
 Longer.
HIS RELIEF SURPRISING
Man of Me and Pm Glad to Rec- ommend It," He Declares.

"A gain of twenty pounds on two bottles of Tanlac is going some, but that is just what happened to me since I began using it." said Harry D. Will son, an employee of the Humble Oil Company at their Goose Creek, Texas, plant, the other day
 T had a spell of malarial fever sometime ago. he continued, land wasn't able to get strengthened out af- rewards. My system was badly rum down. I lost my appetite and had to live almost exclusively on diet of raw or very soft boiled eggs. My head ached so I thought it would split, rheumatism made me miserable and my system was clogged up with ma laria. I fell off to a hundred and twentyeight pounds and was in such bad fix believe I couldn't have last ed much longer.
 T was sure surprised to find this Tanlac getting hold of my troubles be- fore I had taken many doses. I feel hungry all the time and am actually ashamed to eat enough to satisfy my appetite. My weight has increased to a hundred and forty-eight pounds and I feel fine in every way. I have got over that tired and drowsy feeling and have more life and energy than have had in several months. I feel like Tanlac has made a new man of me, and will gladly recommend it to any body"

 SCOUTS & &e5 Conducted by National Council of the
 Boy Scouts of America)
THE FIFTIETH BOY A SCOUT

About one boy in fifty will remain after the feast and of his own accord offer to clear up the things or to wash the dishes. A number of others would help if asked. A stone is on the pave ment where traffic is passing, and au- tos may hit it and skid or it may be a piece of glass. One boy in fifty will stop and pick it up and put it off the road, where it will do no damage, where 49 boys will pass by and never think or care about who is damaged by it.
 The fiftieth boy is the one that is wanted in business, in positions of trust, in any occupation where care fitness is necessary. By this it is not meant that only one boy In fifty will learn to be careful, for a majority of the boys in time learn by experience to be careful and thoughtful though it sometimes takes costly experience to teach them. And here is where the trouble lies. Forty-nine boys do not heed what is told them about being careful, where one boy does, and the forty-nine learn in the costly school of experience.
 Scouting makes fiftieth boy of more than half the boys who engage in it. The observance of the Scout law makes boy careful, thoughtful, relia- ble, helpful. In looking for chance to do a good turn a Scout becomes thoughtful of others. He forgets self and seeks others good. A piece of glass Is where boy will step on 1t or an auto tire will be punctured. The Scout removes it and unties the knot in his handkerchief to remind him that he must every day do a good turn. Doing a good turn soon becomes a hab- it with him. This makes friends for him-friends of the right sort. Good turns are like good seed in good ground-they bear crop and always come back with increase to the one who does them. The Saviour of men taught his disciples to do good turns. He said "A cup of cold water given in the name of disciple shall not lose it's reward"
 The next time you get back from hike or cruise, be the fiftieth boy. Don't make run for the shore with your belongings, anxious to get home, and shirk the work of putting things away and mooring the boat. Be the careful fellow of the bunch, and stay until everything is snugly put away. See the thing through. Be the tiftieth boy.

HIS OLD DREAM CAME TRUE
Was Foretold in Vision Twenty Years Before.

In lecture at Blackwood Rev. M Griffin of Cross Oak, minister who, after forty years preaching, is as vigorous as ever, referred to sub. consciousness, the mysterious power that controls us even when asleep, says a Cardiff Mail writer. Outside the chapel one of his hearers narrated curious incident which happened to a Blackwood man. He lived near the present railway station, and dreamed one night that while working on his stall as miner stone fell on him and killed him.
 The dream was so vivid he gave up his work at once and emigrated to America. Twenty years later he re. turned to Blackwood and sought work in his old colliery. He was told thai no one had been working in his old stall since he had left, and work was found for him in the adjoining stall While engaged there his pick acciden. tally struck through the coal which de. vided him from his old stall. there came fall and the twenty-year-old dream was fulfilled.

SCOUTS PLANT 175 ACRES.

On the high hills overlooking Lake Michigan the Scouts of Manistee. Mich., have ,,a farm of over 175 acres. all planted in beans. Herbert Hoover has asked the Boy Scouts of America to make the raising of beans for the sol alers their especial task. The work on this bean. farm is done with six teams of horses and one tractor, all donated by the town people. The planting has been done by hand, as the country Is too hilly to plant with machines. The boys who are working on the farm are camping at the edge of the lake.
 The boys are trying to earn the money for the development of the Scout movement in the city. The local council borrowed money to prepare the land and do the planting. They believe that the Scouts will be glad to enjoy the advantages of scouting, knowing That 1t was the sweat of their brows which gave them the privilege.

DAN BEARD ADVISES SCOUTS.

Daniel Carter Beard. national con- missioner of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica, has issued instructions to the scoutmasters throughout the country urging them to see to it that "all Scouts live up to the Scout oath"
 Mir. Beard says: eve want this to be great big organization. There is nothing namby-pamby or sissified about a real Scout. One of the old Scouts, faithful friend of ours, has recently hit the trail over the Great Divide-Colonel Cody-an old-time bucksllin man; and I hate to think what would have happened to anyone in the olden days had they ever hinted that Buffalo Bill was a sissy.
 "We want no denatured, pasteurized scouting. We want all you men to live up to the Scout oath like real men. Ours is no ring-around-a-rosy game. We are patriotic. we are Americans, we are for 4peace, but in this war we can, every one of us, be counted upon to stand behind our president and do everything and anything we can for our country.
