cycIist in Spectacular Feat.

An army mOtOrcyclist at one of the
training camps recently averted the
death of young lieutenant by most
extraordinary feat of heroism, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Racing
at high speed across rough ground, he
drove his machine into a runaway
parachute that was dragging the Off
Ger to his death. The latter had made
a practice parachute jump of 1000
feet from an observation balloon. A
high wind had carried him a consider
able distance, and in landing he be-
came hopelessly entangled in the cord
age. The parachute was caught by
strong air current and blown at terrific
speed across the field, pulling it's help
less prisoner with it. At the same In
slant the cyclist, passing along a near
by motor road, saw the officers plight.
He swerved his machine into the field
and raced at top speed squarely into
the middle of the bellied parachute.
The ropes fouled the machine and the
weight of the latter anchored the dere-
lict against further movement.

PRIME COMES INTO ITS OWN
Has Won Official Recognition as Con-
lection Worthy of Being Served
to Fighting Men.

In the piping times of peace the
prune was the butt Of cheap wits and
the bane of the boarder. Now when
the acid test of utility and palatabil-
ity is applied the despised prune steps
into the preferred class-at least on
the American army bill of fare. 1t
has won its way solely on its own
food value, tonic value and value as a
CONNECTION. 1t nourishes, stimulates,
and delights.
The surgeon general of the army
himself testifies to the loyal and help
full support of the once belittled fruit.
He has added his recommendation to
the approving report of the subsist-
ence division. This report tells MS that
out of the 1917 crop 100000 pounds
of prunes have been consumed by our
fighting men. Based on size fifty-five,
which is the trade designation Of the
average prune, the total number con-
sumed would be 1,1O0,000,O0O. Placed
side by side it is quite possible that
this total of pruneS wouldn't reach
from the American trenches to Berlin,
but each prune, no doubt, is doing it's
best to help the Yankee fighters cover
the distance.
There would be a sort of poetical
justice in the circumstance if the
cheerful idiot and the other boarders
whose table wit fingered longest about
the patient prune could meet it over
there in Flanders and in Picardy and
find it honored and extOlled as the
food of fighting men.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page ~
Pennsylvania.


LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 20, 1918.
Packers and growers are alike con-
cerned just now over the possible prices
of the new crop. This is matter that
has been discussed with ever increasing
interest, from the time of the very
planting of the crop, when efforts were
made by local representatives of out
side the county concerns to enter into
contracts. Those early efforts failed
for the same reason that there has so
far been no selling of the 1918 crop
the growers had an inflated and mis-
taken idea of the possible value of this
county's crop. Last spring, nobody,
outside of certain inside circles, had
any idea of the congested condition
that the tobacco market would be in
this fall. 1t was because they over
estimated the Importance of the crop,
and failed to understand the situation
of the market at large, that induced
the growers to set extortionate prices
on their crops.
For packers to pay an exorbitant
price now for leaf that must be carried
a year before being marketed, is ask
ing too much. Manufacturers who
have little old leaf on hand, and small
manufacturers, might be counted among
the purchasers of the new crop right
now, if prices were right, but they can
not pay what is being asked. The big
cigar concerns apparently do not even
want tobacco. If they did they would
be after it, just as they scrambled for
the 1917 crop, regardless of prices.
Even the growers are beginning to be-
lieve that the big concerns, their profit
able customers in late years, are over
stocked, and they are beginning to fear
they may not be found among the GUS
toners for the 1913 tobacco.
Local packers are still waiting for a
turn of the tide that may bring them
customers. They are unanimous in
stating that not in many years has
business with them both been at so low
an ebb. Prices have gone down, but
this has not brought additional custom
ers. The cigar factories can only use
limited amount of leaf, according to
their ability to produce, and production
has been alarmingly curtailed by lack
of cigarmakers Now that the war is
over and war materials and ammuni-
ton will not be required in any great
quantities, it is more than likely that
cigarmakers who left the bench to
work in other plants will return to their
old jobs. Manufacturers do not lack
orders for goods.

War Gas Causes Appendicitis.

The various poison gases so much
in use at present at the European
battle zone are not only breathed, but
are swallowed. This might seem
strange at first, but the likelihood of
swallowing some amount of gas inn
ORIGINATING the atmosphere may readily
be seen. This might take place incl
dental to the intake of food and both
to normal and convulsive actions of
the throat. Such swallowing Of toxic
vapors causes variety of digestional
disturbances, according to the amount
of gas ingested.
According to an article in the Jour-
nal de Medicine ct de Chirurgie
PratiQue, appendicitis has been found
caused by swallowed gas, especially
when the gas contains chlorine. The
progress Of the malady was rapid, but
rather mild, and treatment was effec-
tive.

DELIGHTED IN HIS FREEDOM
Youngsters Chief Enjoyment Of Va
cation Came From His Defiance
of All ConventionaIities.

The best sort of vacation and the
the one taking it, according to Lewis
Weisenberger, is the one on which all
conventional rules of conduct are
broken. To enjoy vacation one must
do absolutely as he pleases, Mr.. Wei
senberger continues.
In proof of this contention Mr.. Wei
senberger tells the following story on
a young lad with whom he hibernated
in the wilds of Michigan for several
weeks this summer.
The campers had taken large sup
ply of towels with them, as bathing
was expected to feature the holiday
events. On arrival at camp each mem
Der of the vacation. party received his
apportionment of the towels and the
lad was duly included in the division.
On the second day of the vacation
week Mr. Weisenberger was surprised
to find the young lads supply of
towels packed securely away in one
corner of the cottage, thus far I'M
touched. He Immediately summoned
the lad and inquired whose towels
he had been using, since his own sup
ply was undiminished. He was not a
little taken back by the lads reply :
saw, / didn't wash my face yester-
day."
Even with face unwashed and tow
els untouched, the young barbarian
probably enjoyed the vacation trip
more than did any other member of
the party, Mr.. Weisenberger says,
And the reason for the lads enjoy
ment, he believes, is the fact that he
violated all rules of personal etiquette
and lived one entire day with his face
innocent Of ablutions.-Indianapolis

SORGHUM MAKING.

They are calling 1t "cane strip"
now, but 1t is the same old sorghum Of
Confederate war times-and just as
good as of old. Reports in the state
papers indicate that the output of
homemade sweetenin' this season is
going to be record breaker, and this
makes largely for independence Of
sugar on the farms and likewise in
town, for the farmer who includes a
jug of sorghum in his load of produce

WAGE WAR ON GRASSHOPPERS
California Authorities Devising Ways
and Means to Protect Agriculture
al Lands From Pest.

County horticultural commissioners
throughout California have been asked
to forward information on the grass
hopper pest reported prevalent in a
number of districts, particularly in
northern California, to George III.
Hecke, state horticultural commits
sioner.
Fragmentary reports received at
Hecke's Office have indicated that
large swarms of grasshoppers have
infested agricultural districts in SUIT
ter, Modoc Lassen, Butte and other
counties and have caused considerable
damage to crops.
One of the best methods of EXTERN
nation, an official said, is the spread
ing of poisoned bran mash, which the
hoppers devour quickly. Burning of
the grass also is an effective means,
but the fire menace at this season
necessitates the exercise of greatest
caution.
Narrowing, by which means the
eggs of the hoppers are brought to the
surface to be eaten by ants or other
insects and flooding the ground also
are advocated to prevent Matching.
The enforcement of laws for the
curbing of pests is vested in the coun-
ty horticultural commissioners, but in
cases where the menace to crops is
extensive the state commission coop
crates in concerted campaign of ex-
termination, as was done this spring
when the statewide rodent drive was
conducted.

Profit Sharing Popular

A summary of the United
States Steel Corporations rec
ords on profit sharing operations
show that the employees have sub
scribed for 1854, 142,775 of the
stock of the corporation on the
installment plan. This total re-
presents the money actually paid
by the workers in steel mill and
office for 712,348 shares of COM
mon and preferred stock since
1903.
The number Of subscribers has
been 3S7,146, which represents
duplication of individuals who
have subscribed year after year.
1t is estimated, however, that
there are now more than $4,000
workers in the rank and file of
the Corporation forces who own
stock in the Corporation. This
constitutes about 33 1-3 per cent
of the total number of stock
holders.
The broad application Of the
stock subscription plan was en-
phasized when the 1918 list was
closed a few days ago, with 95,.
437 shares subscribed for, at a to-
tai value of $S,7SO,2O4. So heavy

The employees are allowed three
years in which to pay for their
