HEAVY TOBACCO SALES
IN most OF THE MARKETS
Notwithstanding Dry Spell and Lack
OF Season" Most Marts Had
Very Large Receipts.
BRIGHT TOBACCO YET CLIMBING
Fancy Figures Paid in Danville,
Soutr Boston and Eastern Caro-
lima - Larger Receipts OF sun
Cured in Richmond Than Expected.

Heavy receipts of the leaf. much anil
NATION and generally higher prices
characterized the business In most of
the loose tobacco markets Of Virginia
and North Carolina for last week. The
bright markets were crowded with the
weed and. while the farmers showed a
disposition 10 market their lower
grades first, Il great deal of very fine
tobacco showed up. Reports received
in Richmond show that extra cutters
broke the record II, SOS and extra bright
wrappers went over the top a; SIS per
hundred. These were the highest ing
urcS recorded.
warchousemcn the receipts on the
Richmond market OF sun-cured leaf
were considerably larger than the
week previous Contrary also TO the
belief OF the prophets /, was shown
that the prmings have not yet been
exhausted. Considerable quantities of
these low-prced goods were in the Of
fcrngs. enough materially to reduce
the average when the figuring up of
the weeks transactions WAS done. The
gross receipts amounted to about Co.,
ooU pounds. Much of the san-cured
leaf WAS wet and in bad order. The
farmers seemed so anxious to market
The leaf they forced the order by the
use Of water and in too many instances
they overdid the thing and many piles
on the warehouse floors were TOO wet
TO please the buyers: OF course that
most of the buyers being disposed TO
neglect the wet piles. On all goods
that were in proper order the bidding
was very spirited and outside figures
were obtained. Some piles In the right
order. and Otherwise attractive. sold
as high as $40 to S42.50 per hundred.
The general average for the week WAS
about S23 per hundred, including prim-
inCS and wet leaf.
If the weather prophets who predicted
rain for to-day and good tobacco
season" prove correct tho receipts will
haps larger. but II the rain and the
season" fail to mRterialize the re-
ceipts will be much lighter. With the
coming OF season, the fired tobaccos
will begin 10 come in and the buyers
are getting anxious for them.

Costs $4,000, 900 a Year ?
To Deliver Groceries to
People Who Do Not Carry

Ida TarbelI, the famous writer, says
IN the W0man's Home Companion, in
an article about women carrying their
own packages end ordering more SEN
SibIy:.
s'The cost In men and money of
thoughtless ordering is staggering.
Since the government turned its atten-
ton to this matter various careful in
ivestigations have been made, with
result that really ought to make US all
ashamed Of ourselves; that is, If we
have any feeling at all, as most peo-
ole have, for the orderly, efficient do
ing Of things. One careful research
body declares that In the ordinary re-
tail grocery stores Of the country the
expense of delivering is three per
cent of the net sales. 1t was found
that In Washington city seven and one
fourth per cent of the gross sales or
all products was spent in delivery.
s'The commercial economy board, a
committee of the council for national
defense. has been pushing the problem

Optical Glass Playing a Big

That every field of military endeav-

the University of Illinois.

WHY Mr.. LOTT DIDN'T ENLIST
Explanation Afforded by street-car
Conductor at Least Caused Him
to "Get a Move On"

Joshua Lott sometimes lives up to
bis name, but there is q conductor on
the Prospect line who should be named
Josh Moore. Notwithstanding the con-
ductor's urging to "step up in front"
Lott c1ings TO place on the rear plat
form when he can in order to be able
to squeeze off at MCGEE street with
insult and injury to fewer other pas
sengers. This morning Lott was
Frightening up the corner where he
was with some remarks about the serv-
ice when the conductor horned right In.
"Say," he said, 1--WE often looked at
you and wondered why you didn't en-
list. But / know now"
Flows that?" asked Lott, helpfully.
Because you're SO alfred scared
of getting up to the 'front.'" said the
conductor.
Just then the 60-passenger stopped
at a transfer point to let about eighty
more get on, and Lott was the first
to start struggling toward the front
to make room for them.-Kansas City

BACKYARD
POULTRY GROWING

The city or town man who keeps a
small flock Of hens not only is saving
money but is helping his country.
Dvery pound of poultry raised and
every egg laid releases just SO much
pork and beef for our armies and al
lies. according to l.. w. Burby, poul-
try husbandman stationed at the ag-
ricuItural college by the United
States department of agriculture.
Poultry will not prevent ones grow
ing a garden. Twelve hens confined
In pen big enough for exercise and
provided with green feed will furnish
a goodIy number of eggs for food. A
packing box and little poultry net
ting are oil that is necessary for build
ing a house and run.
For egg production rooster should
not be kept. as he is noisy and has
a large appetite, but has no influence
On the number Of eggs produced.
The poultry grower should not de-
pend too much on table scraps for
feeding his poultry, points out Mr.. Bur-
by. Enough feed should be given to
keep the birds in good condition and
sufficient excess to produce eggs. The
hens will eat vegetable Feelings
and fruit scraps If these are put
through the food chopper and mixed
with q little mash. A good mash con-
sists Of four parts Of bran, two parts
OF shorts, and one part Of high grade
beef scraps, by weight.
Plenty of green feed should be used.
This cuts down the amount of grain
necessary. Ii is desirable to feed to
the poultry the green weeds and thin
nings from the garden, also the mis-
'Shapen and wormy vegetables, and
tough corn. unfit for human consump-
ton.

"Ah, Mr.. Glooml' began the suave
representative of large Eastern pub

few persons in each community who

veying, 81 recognized you instantly. A
gentleman told me of your remark

"Ah,. yes!" interrupted J.. Fuller
Gloom. "The likeness is truly astound-

on prisons and prison labor, and pro-
vision for road building has been In
corporated in the prison labor bill.
An important feature is that of re-
quiring the payment of wage to the
prisoner. Such a wage will make 1t
possible for the prisoner TO contribute
to the support of his dependents and
at the same time will prevent unfair
competition with free labor. The pas
sage Of the bill will give Impetus TO
the movement for the employment or
prisoners in road work and in other
occupations affected by the national
emergency.
Ever since the United States enteret
the war the demand for utilizing the
prison labor supply confined in the
penal and correctional institutions of
the country has steadily increased. Re
ports made to the national committee
on prisons and prison labor show that
the demand for this labor comes from
practically every organization when
has as its purpose some work related
to the prosecution of the war. Ma
tional and state food, fuel, freight,
farm and fish commissions are seek
ing prison labor. State and county
commissions are meeting to discuss
the problem.
Many of the proposals made will not
be realized until the passage in con-
gress of the prison labor bill intro
duced by Senator Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia and Representative Charles f.
Booher of Missouri This bill has been
introduced through the efforts OF the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor and the American Fedora
ton of Labor to promote the use OF
prison labor in the war emergency and
also to prevent exploitation of the pris-
oner.

Mothers Cook Book

The people who indulge IN honeyed
phrases seldom have any fear of eating
their own words.
Lenten dishes this year have no
worriment for the housewife who has
been keeping lent all winter by meat
less, wheatless, porkless days. Eggs
are at present so high that when using
them the frugal cook tries to extend
them by adding something to the dish
which will give bulk and not detract
from the attractiveness OF 1t.
One good dish may be made by using
rice with egg. Put quarter OF cup
full of rice we'll washed into frying
pan with little sweet chicken fat;
fry it until yellow, then add some
chicken broth or, lacking that any
good vegetable liquor which has been
saved because of Its mineral content.
Cook until the rice liz tender, season
and stir in three eggs, carefully cook
ing, add butter, salt. paprika, and
serve as scrambled eggs. This dish
will serve five or six people, saving
two or three eggs.

the whole world. England boasted
about twenty varieties of glass. The
United States produced none whatever.
Englands product was not nearly suf-
ficient to meet the demand of the al
lies and Britain found 1t necessary at
the beginning of the war to collect all
field glasses and small telescopes own
ed by citizens" .
Doctor Washburn then told how
America is meeting the same problem
