LOOSE LEAF HOUSE
TO OPEN DEC. 8
First Sale 10 Be Made on the
Above Date Prices Expected
to Go Sky High Before the
Season is Half Over.
Soc PER LIB. AT LEXINGTON.

The Loose Leaf Tobacco Warehous
Hardinsburg, announces in another
column their opening sale for Satur-
/ day, December 8.
This promises to be record
sale in the history of tobacco selling in
Breckenridge county. From reports
| gathered from other markets where
loose leaf sales have already been
made. there is no telling where the
price is going. The fact is the crop is
short and manufacturers and dealers
are falling over each other to get their
supplies and are not .quibbiing over the
price.
The Lexington Herald says: 1.-THE
latest and most interesting in tobacco
is the refusal of J. K. Florence to ac-
cept so cents pound for fancy Burlev
crop weighing 1000 pounds and the
sale of Will Hawks crop of 5000 pounds
at 40 cents, while any amount of to-
bacco has been sold from % to IS cents
aud just as many growers ave refused
to sell.
1--WE hear that the Louisville market
has been sold out since May, and that
prices have scared. A thousand nogs-
heads of Barley was sold in one lot at
$50 in Louisville last week. Tobacco
has brought 1921 this year that would
not ave reached Sl2 last year, almost
doubling its value in year. No won
der the growers refuse to SELL but on
the other hand there have been plenty
OF sales and resalcs.
| The whole supply, however, now in
America would not supply continue
ton OF the prese ut demand, a full year
so some may we'll afford to hold, others
to sell and Others again, to sell, re 5uy
ard re sell. But sell or hold the grow
ers are watching every leaf and saving
it for full value"
In bourbon county several farmers
nave sold their crops at prices ranging
from Sf9 to $50 The loose leaf houses

C ,sion is eagerly anticipated by farmers,
tob eco growers and the public gem
orally. The same interest is manifested
in Clark, Montgomery, FlemSg, Wood
ford aud all the Blue Grass section.
Over at Bowling Green last week
there were three big opening loose leaf
sales. Prominent buyers from all over
the country were there eager for to
bacco, The prices for dark leaf ran
around SlS per hundred; several crops
brought S24. The de pissed sucker, it is
said, after jack frost had bit II, brought
80 per hundred.
Al Vine Grove a record breaking sale
| is reported. Fancy colory Burleys
brought $50, $40 and So. OF course
these prices were for small lot, well
| picked and handled.
So our advice to Breckenridge county
growers who have not sold their crops,
or contracted them. is to get into this
big sale. It's going sky high, take our
word for it.

is that it resulted from q feud over

VILLA FORCES
QUIET AGAIN
AGAINST ATTACK
ARE TAKEN DURING NIGHT
IN BORDER TOWN.

vailed here today after an nneventful
night although the precautions of
Wednesday night against surprise

last night.
Two Americans crossed the Rio
Grande river from Ojinaga at o'clock
this morning. When stopped by q
deputy sheriff they covered him with
a revolver and disappeared. They are
believed to have been the two Ameri-
can deserters who served the federal
machine guns during the fighting for
the possession Of Ojinaga, and who
were reported. to have been killed.
A Mexican resident of Preside re-
ported last night he had seen five men
digging graves on the Mexican side
of the river This burial party, the
Mexican said, he saw find Mexican
federal soldier hiding behind some
mesquite bushes, drag him to the
open, shoot him and throw his body
into one of the open graves on top OF
bodies already in it.
Half million dollars worth OF sill
yer bars which Villa was believed to
have in his possession, has now been
brought into Ojinaga and efforts are
being made to bring it into the United
States. All the Villa officers here
have plenty of money, mostly crisp
new American currency and Mexican
gold pieces.
This port remains closed to Villa
and no one is permitted to pass to
Ojinaga; only twenty-four wounded
have been permitted to enter the
United States Eight wounded SOL
diers are reported to have died last
night in hospitals in Ojinaga.

ENEMY ALIENS
MUST BEGOOD
RULE ON WHICH NEW AND
DRASTIC REGULATIONS
ARE BASED.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 16.-New
regulations governing enemy aliens,
much more drastic and planned to be
more effective than those now oper-
ating, were up for final consideration
at today's cabinet meeting.
They are expected to deal efficiently
with the menace of fires, bombs, plots.
the conveying of information to Ger
many and other activities intended to
hamper the government in conduct of
the war. -
GREGORY MAKES RULES.
The regulations have been drawn by
Attorney General Gregory, who favors
strong action to deal with the menace.
Forcing all enemy aliens away from the
vantage points of the seaboard as well
as forbidding them entry to certain bar
red zones is one of the principal con-
siderations.
WARNING TO SAILORS.
Renewed warnings against spies
have been posted all along navy yards
ware Of Spies" have been posted read
ing as follows:
Don't talk about what you have
done or are going to do. The enemy
has ears everywhere.
Don't discuss naval affairs or the
movement of ships, their cargoes or
courses with strangers or foreigners.
TRUST NC STRANGERS"
Don't trust anyone you do not
know. Enemy spies at home and
abroad will try to draw you into argu-
ments and entrap you into telling them
about the movement of ships, their
cargoes, the courses steered and the
steps taken to defend the ships.
Don't forget to report at once any
person who tries to get information
from you or anyone else in your hear
ing.
Don't forget that your want Of care
may help the enemy and lead to the
loss Of American ships and the death
of their crews.
Secrecy means safety"
