SMOKE UP! DlNWLLE
CAN SUPPLY TOBACCO

DANVILLE, Va, April 19.-Never
before in the history of Danville as a
tobacco center has there been such an
accumulation of leaf in storage as
there is today, Inability to ship the
tobacco abroad is largely responsible
for the fact that 60,OO0,00O pounds OF
the weed is packed in hogsheads in
the many storage warehouses. With
leaf tobacco selling higher than ever
before-$32 per hundred pounds-the
cash value of this hoard is enormous
AS the tobacco is dried and treated
before being stored, the passage of
time will not cause any depreciation.
Tobacco has more than doubled in
price since last year. Since the
August Danville has sold 34,700,000
pounds of leaf tobacco for nearly
$12000,00O, all paid in cash to the
farmers of the neighborhood.
Tobacco men are not expecting any
falling off in prices for a number Of
years. Not only is there world
shortage of tobacco, due to the war,
but China is rapidly becoming big
factor in the tobacco world. With
opium under the ban, the introduc-
ton of cigarettes has caused an enor-
nous and a growing demand for
cigarette tobacco in the Oriental
countries.
Farmers are planting out a crop of
tobacco which will hardly be larger
than that sold this year. Labor is
very scarce in the rural districts and
the planters are paying more atten-
ton to raising foodstuffs.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON

Mail Tin hated and with his gas
mask on his chest certain brigadier
general recently accompanied visit
ors from home on a tour of the
trenches. Coming to dugout, where
a lieutenant was in command, the
party stopped and the general, looking
like any other fighting American of
the line, explained to his guests how
the men lived. He finally suggested
to the lieutenant that the visitors be
shown in the dugout, with the follow
ing result:
Sorry, sor, but it is strictly against
orders to admit anyone to dugouts. ;"
But, you can show these gentle
men, can't your"

face The general complimented him
on his observance of orders. The
visitors had just little peek at the

large ones here. When we get
off the train in New Jersey
and loaded on a steamer to

New York about half of the
boys thought we were France

they would liked to have had

some songs to the N. Y. City
