''CASE"IS HEREABUNDANT
CURING SHEDS THE SCENE OF
ACTIVITY
Nest Satisfactory Weather for Tobac-
CO Handling-Eyerybody at it,
Packing Houses Soon Open

The third period of case weather
has been with US for haH-week and
it put hanging tobacco in prime con-
dition to remove from the poles
Nearly every grower has taken down
all or a portion of their holdings,
and every available person in town
and country is now engaged in strip
ping and bundling the large and most
excellent years growth of the weed.
We understand that some growers
who contracted their crops early in
the season have asked to make deliv-
cries the current week, and will be
permitted TO do 81.
So far as we can learn there has
has been no attempt to start buying
again in this section.
Following is the comment of the
Edgerton Tobacco Reporter on condi-
tons in that section:
Nothing has occurred during the week to
break the monotony that prevails throughout
the tobacco growing districts Of the state. A
few buyers have been cat examining the cured
leaf while in case but growers report that
no offers are being made for the unsoid portion
Of the crop. Nov that the end OF the war is
almost in sight, there is chance that bust
ness will soon resume channels and there is
hope that the tobacco trade will find them
selves and the market resumed in the states
where matters are at standstiil The move
ment, how ever, must be started by the larger
operators to have it gain mach Roadway for
the money centers must furnish capital In
some quarters II is believed that a better de-
mand for old leaf must come before an in
centive 10 move the new crop will arrive.
The first of the new crop 60 a delivered
was 80 acres received by II: T. 4 .ilar for The
p. Lorillard Co. at GAINESVILLE. The tobacco is
said to BIZ in fine packing condition.

In body the board visisted the
new county training school building,
which is nearing completion, and they
were both surprised and pleased with
the progress and character of work
and materials used. The boilers were
first fired up on Sunday, for partial
test, but much of the plumbing in
the big building is to be accomplished,
and general finishing done. We doubt
il the finishing strokes will be added
to the structure till early in the new
year. Necessary equipment viii then
be due and by the time occupancy is
effected good job win have been
done if the school moves there by
March first. The general public will
be delighted with the building and its
completeness, and every taxpayer
satisfied that few additional thous-

new county school house a place of
utility and Feauty. The grounds have
been in the course of grading the past

DECENTRALIZATION NOTES

1t is expected that rehabilitation
at Camp Grant will commence within
week. This is also probably true of
all of the environments throughout the
| United States. Orders are to fill all
permanent camp organizations to full
strength. The remaining men will be
discharged as rapidly as possible. Men
specialized in such occupations as tel
egraphers, railway men, mechanics
and the like, will be retained
There are about 100000 men in
the various military environments, and
their return to civil matters is no
small task.It is expected that 100000
viii be mustered out within the next
two weeks and the rate of discharge
after that will be about 10000 a day.
The order of rehabilitation of troops
will be as follows: Development bat
talions, II, 98,199 men; conscientious
DIRECTORS not under arrest;spruce pro-
ductioN division; the officers training
schools; United States guards, $4,000
men; railway units; depot brigades;
replacement units; combat divisions.
Students in the Army Training
Corps at the various universities and
normal schools may resign to take
up school work or other. occupations
or may continue in the service if they
so desire, it is reported.
Soldiers mustered out will be per-
mitted to wear their uniforms three
months after being discharged in ord
er to lessen the civilian clotaing prob
lem. A movement is under way to
present each hororabiy discharged
man with months pay.
Not all the environments will be
maintained. Many will be abandoned
as soon as the troops now occupying
them are demobilized. Others will be
kept intact to receive the boys from
overseas. A few will be permanent
military camps. Camp Grant is to
become the great military camp of the
north.
General Pershing has been instruct
ed to cable to the United States in
English the names of all our boys
killed, wounded or missing up to the
signing of the armistice. The code
method of sending is eliminated to
save time. All wounded boys are to
be Immediately returned to the states.
1t is now practically assured that
no more men will be called for exami-
nation. 1t had been planned that the
younger men were to be examined but
that order was countermanded Tues
day. Concerning questionnaires, men
above 81 years of age may return
them without being filled out; the rest
are to be made out in full, the war de-
oartment considering the data val
liable for future emergencies. How
ever there is no certainty but that
this order may also be cancelled.
The local draft boards are to be
treated as employment agencies for
the returning soldiers. Employers
may list their need for help with them
and all the. civil military authorities
are to work together to the end that
the discharged soldiers be absorbed
into the industrial life of the nation
with as little confusion as possible.
