ter and verse in support of his con-
tention that living was exceptionally
cheap in those supposedly luxurious
days. Cleopatra could entertain Mark
Antony during the time of his vivid
courtship for whole lot less than a
working man can entertain his wife
at picnic party. Cleopatra could
provide a sumptuous repast for two
for about dollar

Wickedness is smooth and very short,
and there is no need of perspiring
But before virtue the immortal gods

long and steep is the way thither, and
rugged at first; but when you have
reached the top, then, however diff

Division to Two-MiIe Trench.

A division, which is the largest body
known in the organization of the
American army, will fiflly man two
miles of trenches. The regulation dis
lance in the manning of a trench is a
yard to a man. There are three lines,
however, needed to fully man such
defenses-the firing line, which is
down in the trench, yard behind each
man; the support, which is back a
short distance, and the reserve.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
(COnffnned From Page ~
PENNSYLVANIA.
LANCASTER. PA. Aug. 8. 1917.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 3, 1917.
All of the Havana Seed tobacco of
the new crop has been topped and the
bulk of the Broadleaf, too. The Ha-
vana will cut small figure in this sea-
sons crop of Lancaster county, for
considerably less than thousand acres
were planted and most of it on farms
adjacent to the Susquehanna river,
where the soil is best qualified for
growing it.
Some Havana has been cut around
Washington Borough and East Peters
burg. 1t has been fortunate thing,
indeed, that the ground contains plenty
of moisture for the sun was so hot here
last week and the heat SO intense, the
wind-up of the month of July being the
hottest in forty years, that the plants
would certainly have been burned up.
While all who have seen the tobacco
concur in saying it looks fine. showing
every indication of very much heavier
leaves than last years crop, still 1t is
rather irregular, a fact due to much re-
planting which was necessitated by cut
worms ravages and the Washouts due
to storms. Reports received here of
heavy purchases of goods by large CT
gar concerns is interpreted here to
mean that those firms are not over
stocked with old goods, and the infer
ence is clear that they will want lot
of Lancaster county tobacco. And the
growers analysis of this situation is
summed up in the conviction that high
prices are certainty.
Packers are in the field prospecting
and making offers but, so far as known,
straight contracts have been made. 1t
is said some buying has been done in a
peculiar way, fixing no price, but ar
ranging for doing something definite
when the time comes.

cowardIiness and Courage.

The South Dakota State Fair Food
Training Camp, Sept. 10th TO 18th, will

struct wives and mothers how to pre-
pare and conserve food and check the
eAtravagant waste OF food for which
our country is condemned in every
other country in the world. President

serves are low. Not only during the
present emergency but for some time
after peace shall have come, both our
own people and a large proportion of
the people OF Europe must rely upon
the harvests Of America" 1t is the
mans job to raise the crops, but it's
the woman's job to conserve them.
