COFFEE TAKES JUMP
Increase o. Cents a Pound Hits
10000 TOpekans.

10000 Topekans.
An average raise of cents a pound
on coffee is reported by local dealers
and will be noticed by 10000 users
of the beverage in Topeka. This con-
dition, it is explained, is probably only
temporary and is caused by early
frosts, which killed a large part of
the Brazil crop, and by the action of
Brazilian shippers in holding up the
exports for higher prices.
The larger concerns have no fear of
a coffee shortage, despite reports to
the contrary, it is said.

A Monument.

1t has been suggested thae a mag
nificent shaft, monument, be erect
ed in Columbia in honor of the Adair
county boys who lost their lives in
France, and who died in Camps. 1t
should be one that would do credit to
the county, one that parents of the
dead heroes ahd their friends would
take a pride in. Many towns in Ken
lucky now have memorial monuments
and others will be erected. A shaft
of the proper height for Adair county
boys would perhaps cost from $4,000
toss, 600, but the sum could be easily
raised, with small amount from each
donor. We owe this manlfestal on of
remembrance to our dead solciers
and we hope that a move will be start
ed at once to raise the money.

his father, James Henry Larimore, on
November 10th. The deceased was
one of the best citizens of Green coun-

and an indulgent father, and the
community in which he lived, an en-
rerprising and thrifty neighbor.

NUMBER 6
The Tobacco Situation As II Looks
AT Present.

There is much uncertainty as to the
prices that will be paid for tobacco on
the market this year.
Sometime ago it was predicted that
prices would be as high or higher than
last year, but those who heretofore
have been in position to know, seem
at loss this season to predict just
what effect the close OF the worlds war
will have on the market.
There is a large supply OF unmanu-
featured tobacco on hand in this coun.
try and a shortage in Europe, and it
seems if shipping facilities should be-
come less difficult than they have in
the past few years, and the congestion
be relieved you might expect higher
prices.
While there is shortage in Ken =
lucky, the production as a whole is
several million lbs. larger.
These things taken into considera-
tion with other unprecedented condi-
lions thrUout the country, and unset
tied monetary conditions of foreign
countries, it seems hard to tell when
will be the best time to market your
tobacco.
1t looks as if hurley of good quality
will open up well, but above all both
Dark and Burley MUST, be in good Or
der to sell we'll.
We have known for some time that
the large dealers and manufacturers
would not be on the market until af-
ter December 10th, and for these rea-
sons would not announce our opening
until Wednesday, December 18th.
1t is not our policy to secure your
patronage by unfair means and fiatter-
ing reports of prices. You will find our
market will be conducted on the
square. You will be well cared for, in
your turn. You will receive courteous
treatment, and your tobacco will be
given the best attention possible to
secure the highest price. Our fees for
selling remain the same as last year.
While we are informed some other
markets have raised, We have rot
Any inquiry by letter or phone will
receive prompt attention.
