1T is related in Leslie's of the issue
of July that building in Washing
ton, owned by the government and
leased by it for market purposes, and
released to an amusement company at
81, 900, has been subleased to the gov
eminent for its use at $14, 900. The
people have been lending their money
to the government for war purposes by
the billions of dollars, doing it cheer
fully, willingly, enthusiastically. Bust
ness men have been giving up their
time to solicit these loans to govern
ment. Working people with only a
small margin between their incomes
and their needs have offered of their
mite. And when it has come to down.

equal cheer and spirit the sons who are
of which we are so proud with a glow
ing pride Still such things as shown
in the recent report to the senate on
profteering, this report leaked out,
shows what is being done with some of
making at the expense of the people,
in patriotism and in politics. Attend

DDS there is a weakening OF the faith
and the spirit of the people. With
each such there arises serious questions
as to whether this sacrificing of money,
of food and of men is for the sacred
cause of our country and our associ-
ates, and the starving people of Eu-
rope, or if it is for the purpose of pad
ding the pockets of American profit

There is but one thing to be done. Gov
eminent must stop this profting prac-
tice whether it be in price, lease or
contract. Some of it may be hard to
reach. Some of it should be easy to
stop. as from appearances it is done
right under the eye of the government
officials. The administration or con-
gress must take hold of the matter,
investigate every feature of it whether
in the coal or the food or the other di-
visions of government, whether in
private business or public dealings

LANCASTER, Pa, July 10, 1918.

LANCASTER, PA, July 10, 1913.
The new crop looks fine. Tobacco in
early July never looked better, though
the ground is now very dry and there
has been too much cold weather. Not
in many years have pests been so
scarce, and in week or so more the
plants will have passed beyond the
stage when they can be harmed by cut
worms. If Lancaster county escapes
hail and storms as nicely as it has in
sect enemies, then our tobacco crop is
likely to turn out quite the bumper
crop it 1s predicted it will be- Of course
long continued drought might spoil
the record, but the plants have set so
we'll that they are able to stand quite a
long dry spell now.
A big, crop in this county, and big
crops in other parts of the country, will
very certainly reduce the present prices
of tobacco, but the growers are con-
WINGED that they are going to get enor-
nous prices for this crop. Some of the
growers, perhaps majority of them,
would be willing to accept last year 8
prices, though it is not at all certain
that the packers are going to pay as
much.
July 9Th fire was discovered in the
Steinman warehouse, double building
on Market Street, occupied by the P.
Lorillard Co. and Otto Eisenlohr &
Bros It originated in and was con-
fined to that portion of the building
occupied by the first-named firm. The
fire must have been slumbering for
hours before being discovered and the
firemen notified. A good deal of to-
bacco was removed before they got
down to the burning goods and got the
extinguishers at work. The building
itself was not damaged, but some to-
bacco was burned and considerable
damaged by heat and smoke.

Baldwinsville. The 1913 crop of On
ondaga, which is not entirely planted
and which will consist of about 900
acres, has been cleaned up in some sec
tons at prices ranging from 80 to 80
cents per pound, in the bundle, loose
and not sorted; 80 cents has been the
prevailing price and many sections have
been cleaned up. Transplanting has
just got under Roadway and it will be
about the 4th Of July before all the to-
bacco is planted. Cold weather during
the past two weeks kept the plants
back and that is the reason for finish
up little late. In the town of Clay,
which is conceded to be the finest sec
ton in Onondaga county, growing high
class, thin, bindery tobacco, the crop
has entirely been bought up.

THE consensus seems to be that as a
