L. Frank & Company
On Tuesday before Christmas,

On Tuesday before Christmas,
l.. Frank & Company shipped
from Shannon the first car of
turkeys ever shipped from this
county. The turkeys were
bought principally through w.
B. Redus & Son and Porter-Lau-
derdale Co., and were shipped
in a poultry car which affords
opportunity of feeding and water
ing en- route. The car was ac-
companied to New Orleans by j.
O. Stovall.
During the week previous to
Christmas the firm of l.. Frank
& Company paid out more than
$4,000 for poultry.
The firm has leased the Asa
w. Allen building just east of
the Mobile and Ohio Road and
have moved their business there.
The first floor will be fitted up
for cold storage and the handling
of all shipments of poultry and
eggs, the building is 90X190 feet
with two stories. The upper
story to be used for feeding and
dressing poultry, which will be
placed on cold storage when
dressed and shipped out leach
week in car lots. The business
is under the management of Mr..
j. C. Brincat who will have
charge of the business in north
east Mississippi. He is a very
successful poultry dealer, having
been in the wholesale business
many years in Mobile. A branch
will be established at Corinth
with ]. O. Stovall in charge.
Mr.. Stovall is also an experienced
poultry man and has been with
the firm since it came to Tupelo.
The firm will also establish a
branch at either New Albany or
Pontotoc. One will also be es-
tablished at Meridian. The COM
ing of this new industry to
'Tupelo at this time affords the
people of northeast Mississippi a
profitable avenue through which
they may escape the disasters of
the boil weavil. The poultry
business can be made highly
profitable and it should be ex-
tended on every farm.

Letter From George Wash

Commission, Mr.. X. A. Kramer,
the engineer of the highway
department, discovered the fol-
lowing letter while looking
through manuscript in the Con-

from Gen. Washington shows
the great interest then extant in
public roads and the difficulties
which had to be met at that time
more than at the present. The
Father of his Country had trouble
with county courts at that time
just as we do now and urged
that the authority in dealing
with the roads should be with

are delayed, the more people
will be injured by the alterations

equally clear to me. that, putting
the lowest valuation upon the

NEW YORK, April %, 1917
Weighed down with anxiety the leaf
market has become on account of the
proposed war taxes on the cigar pro-
duct. For if one-fourth of the cigar
production is to be reduced under the
proposed taxes as per calculations of
the Treasury Department it would
mean also one-quartered reduction in
the consumption of cigar leaf and in
consequence also decentralization in it's
value. On account of this anxiety bus
mess activity has slackened. For the
manufacturer who is designated for
extinction by the proposed new tax is
certainly not in the mood to replenish
his stock for which he could find no
further use under the proposed reduc-
tion in cigar production. So the mar
ket is not inclined while the uncertainty
of the tax measure lasts to do any bus
mess and it's mind is set absorbingly on
thinking out some scheme by which
Congress may be induced to save the
situation. In the meanwhile, news has
come of the arrival in this country of
twelve hundred bales of Sumatra. =

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS.,. Nav a. 1917.

EDGERTON, WIS. May A, 1917.
Another week of cold, unreasonable
weather has delayed the work of SOW
ing the seed beds for the 1917 tobacco
crop, which is not yet entirely finished.
Some growers preferred to wait for
warmer days before consigning sprout-
ed seed to the beds, for after the young
plants are up it is desirable that they
do not receive any setbacks from un-
favorable weather conditions. So the
present outlook is for late season.
The local market has been raided
again by eastern dealers who have
closed deals involving another large
block of 1916 packings, largely from
GAINESVILLE packers. Among those firms
reported to have sold are Sanford Sow
erhill. about 1400 cases; S. Grundy &
Co., 700 cases; Greene Tobacco Co.,
800 cases; G. j. Jones & Son, 600 cases
of '16 and 400 case packing of Is,
and the Mabbett Leaf Tobacco Co.
about 400 cases.
SsA few belated deliveries have been
made during the week but practically
receiving of the 1916 purchases is COM
pleted. Warehouse work is still drag
ging along at the packing points with
a prospect of a couple months work
yet in sight at most of them Except
in the applying of fertilizers scarcely
anything has yet been done on tobacco
fields towards the new crop.
The shipments out of storage reach
100 cases and 2 car loads of bundles.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Apr. %, 1917.
Tiny tobacco plants are now visible
in the further advanced seed beds. The
past week has brought the first warm
days and really warm rains of the year.
A few heavy rains between now and
the transplanting season would not be
amiss.
An unusually large number of grow
ers have only recently taken down 1916
crops which have been hanging in the
sheds since last August or September.
Prices sagged recently and some pretty
fair tobacco is said to have been pick
ed up in the Connecticut valley as low
as IL cents. The market has since
stiffened.
Not all of the warehouses have fin
ished the season and those operated by
buyers who have lately been taking
over crops will probably be busy until
June.

LANCASTER, Pa, April %, 1917.

LANCASTER, PA, April 70, 1917.
The more our local packers hear
about the prices of old goods, the more
regretful they are that they did not
get decent share of the 1915 and 1915
tobacco. The former, very excellent
goods, is selling at gilt-edge price.
As no prices have been quoted of the
little 1916 sold lately, it is impossible
to say how high the packers hold it,
but it is not cheap. A local packer
told the writer few days ago that he
had just paid 20 cents for belated 1915
crop. 1t is one of those that may be
had here and there, for few are still
lying around unsold. The owner hap
pens to be among the happy class who
is not pushed for money, so he just
hung on to his tobacco until buyer
came along with his price, when he let
go.
Possibly three-fourths of the seed
beds are made, but the month will be
about ended before all are made, as
many growers do not care for early
planting. Some planting in the fields
will be done about the end of May by
growers who had early seed beds grow
ing under cover, but the bulk of the
crop will not be set out before the mid
die of June, or later.

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY NEVER
INVISIBLE NOW

Suddenly transformed from dark
bulk against the darkening sky into a
gloriously illuminated figure, the
Statue of Liberty on the evening Of
December Q, was illuminated by giant
searchlights which formed a perma.
nent lighting plant for the famous
slmbold in New York Harbor presented
to this country by the French people
In 1856.
President Wilson gave the signal
that threw the lights upon the statue
for the first time. At a dinner after
wards, he made an informal address
In which he spoke In part as follows:
II was rejecting, as We saw the
light stream upon that beautiful
statue, that its source was outside the
statue; that it did not proceed from
Liberty, but proceeded from the light
we were throwing upon Liberty, and
il occurred to me that, after all, it was
a proper symbol of our life. because
We can take to ourselves the dignity
of Liberty only as we illustrate the
fact and the true spirit of Liberty. and
the only light that we can contribute
to the Illumination of the world is the
light that will shine out of our life
as a nation upon that conception and
upon that image"

on September II, 1916. J. rs~

Elizabeth River An old barge served
as diving platform.
The swimmers gIided through the
water so easily that seven-year-old
boy wi o had never learned to swim
thought he could do it. He found out.
after he had jumped off the barge
into deep water, that there were points
in the game which he did not under
stand He went down like a sinked.
A boy who was swimming near him
went to the rescue. He did not know
how to handle drowning person and
was soon in trouble himself. There
were all the markings Of a double
drowning when Archie II. Hosier. a
first-elass Scout, went down TO investi-
gate.
Archie pried them apart, giving the
would-be rescuer a chance to save
himself, then finished the job by fish.

just how near 1t came to being the

be judged from the fact that he was
confined to his bed for two days.
On account of the great difficulties
which had to be overcome by the
Scout, and the great risk which he in

believed that more than ordinary
recognition was due and awarded
