REPORT OF THE RECENT BUR-
LEY MARKET.

Supervisors of sales in the various
loose leaf tobacco markets where
sales were held, as well as the Lou
isville and Cincinnati markets, have
finished compiling statistics from the
figures furnished by the managers of
the various warehouses.
While many of the figures I'M
doubtedly include large proportion
of re-sales, and while perhaps 10
per cent. or more of the 1915 crop
still remains unsold, it is quite evi-
dent from the statistics at hand that
the crop last year was considerably
larger than that of 1915, which was
estimated at 17S,64S,750 pounds, and
larger also than that of 1914, which
was estimated at 200 pounds.
In this section Lexington heads the
list in number of pounds sold, with
Maysville second. The table as COM
piled shows the following report
from the tier of counties around
Lexington, including the Lexington
market:
Lexington, 42,240.S90 pounds sold
average, $1S.27; Maysville, 24,017,-
100 pounds sold, average $17.06;
Mt. Sterling, S,706,3S0 pounds sold,
average s17.11; Paris, S,187,265
pounds sold, average $18.42; Rich
mond, 6,746,6S0 pounds sold, average
$18.42; Winchester, 4,963,730
pounds sold, average s17.74; Shelby
vile, IL 1000 pounds sold, average
1904; Flemingsburg, 4,S51,445

s17.67; Carlisle, 7,5S7,690 pounds
sold, average s18.12; Frankfort, s.

REDcRoss
Drive" for 500, 0o0, 900 Opens
Throughout Country.
New York and Chicago Will Give at
Least $4,000, 00o-Every Region
Must Be Generous Now.

Uncle Sam is calling for Red Cross
fund of $100,0O0,OO0 to enable the Red
Cross to give the proper care to the
sick and wounded, the homeless and
the desolate when his men get into
the lighting in earnest. New York city
has promptly pledged itself to "raise
one-fourth of whatever sum is needed"
and is now collecting the money. Chi
cago will be asked for something be-
tween 100000 and $10,000,0O0, the
levy based on population and credit
rating.
Mr.. o. B. Towne has been appointed
by Washington as director Of the Red
Cross war fund campaign, for the cen
trail division, and will open a drive
for the money in nine states as soon
as 1t has been determined just how
much he needs.
The money will be raised by sub.
scription among the various chapters,
and 1t has been arranged that each
chapter shall have one-fourth Of what
ever sum it raises. Mr.. Towne hopes
that the country will raise enough to
give the national organization its full
$10O,000,OOO over and above what the
chapters retain.
The Red Cross is compelled to raise
its fund from the people because 1t has
so small an endowment fund-less than
$4,000, 000-while Japan, for instance,
has more than $13,OOOOOO In her fund,
the income from which pays all ex-
penses.
The money is necessary to keep up
the supplies and equipment Of the base
hospitals, and for relief work in war.

EVERY MAN ON HIS JOB.

Every mans duty is the same.
Your job is your duty. My job is
mine. Each of us can do his part
most effectively by redoubling pres
ent endeavors at whatever his regu-
lar occupation may be.
If we are railroading, let us rail-
road for all we are worth. If we
are farmers, put the same speed in
our farming. If we are mining, let
us mine as never before. Let us do
the same with making shoes, making
clothes. building houses, building
factories, warehouses, skyscrapers,
roads or whatever it may be.
There need be no curtailment in
building and road construction. Let
both public and private useful con-
struction proceed. Production and
handling of building materials and
public and private construction work
are fundamental industries of the
country. Any tendency to suspend
or postpone projects is inconsistent
with maintaining our prosperity.
The country is prosperous. Building
investors should not hesitate to go
ahead with their plans. Railroads
should spare no effort to supply the
building industry with the cars need
ed to transport materials. Govern
ment, State, county and municipal
authorities should encourage the con-
tinuance of all kinds of building.
Road and street improvements in
particular should go undated. Bad
roads and streets are factors of first
Importance in the present high cost
of foodstuffs. Never before was the
improvement of highways so essen
tial
The lumber, brick, cement, lime,
sand, gravel, stone and other build
ing material industries are basis.
Neither Government regulations nor
railroad restrictions should be i'm
posed unnecessarily to interfere with
them. If any action is taken which
results in the prostration of so fun
damentally important industries,
there is real danger of a surplus of
unemployed labor, surplus of rail-
road cars and a Gripping of business
that will seriously embarrass the
Government in financing the war.
Keep on building,

AMERICAN GENERAL HONORED
AT NAPOELON'S TOMB.

A dramatic climax of the ceremo-
mics attending General Pershing's ar
rival in Paris, France, came at the
1nvalides Friday, when there was
presented to the American leader for
a moment the sword and grand cross
Gordon on the Legion of Honor that
belonged to Napoleon. 1t was the
most signal honor France ever be-
slowed upon any man. Before that
time not even a Frenchman ever was
permitted to hold the historic relics
in his hand. Kings and Princes have
been taken to the crypt that holds
the body of the great Emperor, but
they only viewed the sword and cross
through the plate glass of the case
in which they rest. Until Friday
they had not been touched since the
time of Louis Philippe.
General Pershing and his staff were
conducted to the crypt by Marshal
Joffre, who followed the precedent
laid down by Napoleon, that only a
Marshal of France might remain COW
cred in his presence. The great key
was inserted in the brass door of the
crypt. Marshal Joffre and General
Niox, Governor of the Invalidesy drew
aside while General Pershing forced
the door alone. He took deep
breath, stepped suddenly forward and
with a single motion threw his arm
straight out and turned the key. In
a tiny alcove at one side of the crypt
the Governor of the Invalides unlock
ed the case, drew out the sword and
raised it to his lips. Then he pre-
sented the hilt to General Pershing,
who received it, held it at salute for
a moment and then kissed the hilt.
The same ceremony was followed
with the cross of the Gordon OF the
Legion of Honor. General Pershing
holding the cross to his lips before
passing it back to the Governor.
AS one of the staff officers said
when the ceremony was all over, 1T
was more than a historic moment; Il
was epic. General Pershing at the
tomb of of Napoleon will live In
history the same as Washington
praying at Valley Forge, and Il
would take a Victor Hugo to write
about ii properly"

T0RPEDOED SHIP BLOWS U-B0AT
TO PIECES.

In a battle between a crippled,
stranded British steamship and a
German submarine off the Italian
coast in May, both craft were de-
stroyed, according to members of the
crew of the American steamship
Hilonian, who arrived in New York,
Monday.
The Hilionian itself had already
been reported sunk, of the Italian
coast on May Is, the crew being
landed at Abenga. On the same day
an unidentified British freighter
carrying coal aso, was torpedoed, but
the captain managed to run his ship
into shallow water before she partly
sank. Two days later the Americans
asserted, the submarine returned to
the attack and launched a torpedo
which hit the steamer amidship and
almost blew her apart.
As the submarine came to the sur
face to observe the effects of the
shot two deck guns on the stern Of
the freighter were turned on her.
A six-inch explosive shell hit the

Mother of Soldier
Killed in France
to Get S45 Monthly

WASHINGTON. Nov. 8.-The first
dependent Of an American soldier kill
ed in trench warfare to receive COM
pensation under the government sys-
tenn will be Mrs. Alice Dodd. of Evans
vile, Ind, widowed mother of Private
James 3. Gresham, one Of the victims
OF the German raid on American
trenches in France Nov. 8. She will
receive at least S45 a month, $50 OF
which is the regular allowance and
SIS the insurance payment provided
by the government for every soldier.
This is in addition to the voluntary
government life insurance for which
Private Gresham may have applied.
Record here show that neither Pri-
Vate Thomas F. Enright, OF Pittsburgh,
nor Private Merle D. Hay Of Glidden,
Iowa, who were killed in the trenches,
left dependents, and consequently no
compensation will be paid.
The compensation to be paid any of
the five wounded soldiers depends on
the seriousness Of their injuries. For
permanent disability, they would re-
ceive S25 month, in addition to the
usual family allowances for depend
ents. Dependents of the IL men re-
ported captured or missing will con.
tinue to receive allotments Of pay and
family allowances.
