REPORT OF SALES
OF E.. J. Davis & Sons Week
Ending friday, Aug. 24th.

This has been another good week
for the tobacco growers who have
sold on the Fairmont market.
Our market has been running six
weeks and we have sold over 5 mil
lion pounds leaf tobacco for over one
and one quarter million dollars. Not
withstanding this fact, all the buy
ers are still on the market and will
remain throughout next week. Prices
during last three days have advanced
on all grades and most of the grades
are from 1 to cents higher. This
is very remarkable in the face OF SO
much tobacco having already been
sold for the highest average ever
made in the South Carolina belt: In
fact the farmers Of this section have
been paid the best prices for this
crop that has ever been paid on any
market in any section where tobacco
is grown.
Most all the tobacco in and around
Fairmont has been sold, and all the
farmers who live in reach of our mar
ket, say 40 to so miles, can sell on
the market all next week without
grading their tobacco at better
price, we venture to say, than they
will get on any other market ever
after having the trouble of grading
You can turn your tobacco into mon
ey at once by shipping OF hauling
to Fairmont.
| We think at this writing the mar
ket will close by August 31st. 81
you only have one more week to ge
these good prices on the Fairmon
market. Bring on your tobacco. W.
have the room, the money to pay TO
it, and the best prices Of the season
Your friends,

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS

With the dominating height of
Monte Santo securely in their pos
session, the Italians are continuing
their drive of the Austrians eastward
over the Balm Sizea plateau notwith-
standing the violent resistance the
enemy is offering with infantry, ma
chine guns and light artillery. Here
and also on theCarso front in proxim-
ity to the sea, where the battle again
has assumed terrific proportions af-
ter Saturdays slight luil, the Ital-
ian airmen are still lending wonder
full aid to General Cadorna's forces,
dropping bombs or using their ma
chine guns with telling effect on
troop concentrations behind the lines.
Number of Prisoners Mounts
The daily number Of prisoners tax
en- bN the ltalians-both officers and
men-is mounting, the latest report
showing that 600 officers and 23,OOC
men have been captured. In addition
the capture of war stores by the Ital
lans has been enormous, including
guns of all calibres and arms. am

In recent issue of the Penticton
Herald appears few items from the
Gazette under the head Of Life in
Oroville-All the essential features of
a lively existence are found there,
and among the items is one referring
to mysterious shooting case alleged
by rumor to have taken place here
Now we cannot see that Oroville has
anything on Penticton when we read
the following local item in the same
issue of the Herald
"A number of readers have thought
It strange that The Herald did not
make any reference to serious case
which went through the preliminary
hearing stage at the local police court
here last week. The Herald does not
think that family newspaper in the
community 1t would serve any good
purpose of referring to this case, par.
ticularly when it is of such a serious
and repulsive nature. To give any de-
tails now might work a great injustice
but when a final conclusion is reached

1t is dawning upon the minds Of the
British leaders that Germany intends
to starve England out. That is bring
ing home the game England has been
playing against Germany. and it is
discovered to be very uncomfortable
predicament. If England does not
wake up and devise some means Of
lifting the blockade established by
submarines that country will be fac
ing a desperate problem within the
next few months. Starvation is no re-
spector of persons, and the English
will find it as difficult to exist without
provender as Germany ha sheen find
ing it during the past winter. Famine
and not bullets may be the final solu
ton of this war problem.
