mans before both the third and tenth
French armies continues to-day with
increased speed over a large part of
the battle front. and in some cases
in disorder.
Gen Mangin's men are approach
ing the Coucy forest and are nearly
on the line held in April along the
River Ailette. They have also Wild
ened their hold on the Disc to Bre-
tigny, midway between Noyon and
Chauny.
The French advance towards the
roads leading to Chauny adds ano-
ther menace to their line Of retire
ment and explains the acceleration
Of the enemy's retreat. Bourgignon,
st. Paul-AuX-Bois and Quincy fell
into the hands of the French to-day,
giving them command Of the valley
, OF the Ailette from the region Of
Coucyle-Chateau to the Oise
Gen. Humbert's troops also are
pressing the enemy vigorously. Hav-
ing occupied the height Of Plemont,
just south of Lassigny, which they
tured Thiescourt, which completes
the conquest of the group Of hills
known as the Thiescourt Massif The
enemy now has but precarious hold
on the valley Of the Divette river, in
which French cavalry is operating.
Several thousand prisoners have
been taken since Wednesday evening
and trophies in such great quantities
that it has been impossible thus far
to count them, also have been cap
tured
Gen. Mangin's troops advanced
seven miles during the night, and
this morning were rushing the enc
my's rear guard so energetically that
the retiring columns were thrown
into confusion.
French Watch German Retreat.
Parts, Aug. 22.-From the heights
of Lie Plemont on the Disc front the
French troops are now watching the
Germans in their retreat toward the
north.
The capture of Lassigny, an official
communication issued this afternoon
says, made the position OF lie PIE
mont uhteEable, as it was turned
from the north and Gen. Humbert's
army last night took the position,
writing one Of the most glorious
pages in French history.
1t was on this position, the state
mcnt adds, that the furious German
onslaught against Paris, March 80,
was smashed, one French battalion
holding the position for &c hours
against the desperate assaults Of two
German regiments.
lie Plemont. was finally taken June
8 by the Germans. 1t has been re-
captured now by the former division
Of Gen. Fayolles, which forms part OF
the troops that defended 1t March 80.
Gen. Humbort's army has made
great advance between the Matz and
the Oise rivers and has reached the
Ailette river The French military
men say this makes the early fall Of
the town Of Noyon inevitable.
Gen. Byng's army is encountering
desperate resistance in the region Of
Bapaume. Achiet-Le- Grand changed
hands several times late yesterday
afternoon and last night. The Brit
ish now are in that position.

The final allotment of 1917 Sumatra

terest in the leaf tobacco market this
week. The allotment proceeded in a
very satisfactory manner. On October
81 there will be an allotment of 5000
bales of Java. Apart from the above,
the principal interest of the week lies
in the fact that manufacturers have
been looking over the new Connecticut
Shadegrown. Some sales are reported
to have been made at prices about the
same as those paid for the same grades.

wrappers of any sort is never greater

With no tobacco business to occupy
their attention the tobacco packers Of
Lancaster during the past few weeks
were able to give all of their time to
the promotion Of the Fourth Liberty
Loan. They were the driving spirit in
the campaign and much Of the success
Of the local effort is due to their ac-
tivities which were unrestrained by any
demands of their own business.
In view of present market conditions,
packers do not want to add to their ac-
cumulations. Growers as a result are
becoming more or less apprehensive,
for they cannot help but notice the ab-
sence of the packers who, at this time
in other years. were literally sWarming
over the county in the desire TO pick up
crops. The buyer in the country is
conspicuous by his absence, but the
growers who are calling upon the pack
ers to obtain line on the situation are
becoming more numerous.
A number of local packers have or
ders on hand for tobacco but they are
making no effort to fill them until there
is some indication by which the future
condition of the market can be Judged
With farmers wanting prices as high or
higher than those which prevailed last
year, it is natural that no sales should
be made. Last year active buying
started in at about the same figures it
had left off at in the previous year, and
under the force of competition rapidly
advanced. This year the growers are
attempting to have sales started at the
figure where they left off last year, but
the packers do not see things that way.

EDGERTON, WIS.,. Nov. l, 1918.
The tobacco districts of the state
were favored with an unusually fine
season of casing weather the early
part Of the week which continued long
| enough to bring the hanging leaf into
ideal stripping condition. A small por-
tien of the crop has been taken down
from the curing sheds and moderate
amount of stripping accomplished, most
growers however preferred to allow
| their tobacco to hang a while longer.
A sufficient amount has came down to
permit critical examination into the
merits of the cured leaf which is gen
orally pronounced satisfactory.
Possibly this aondition may induce a
resumption of the buying movement,
but so far we cannot learn that the
large operators are making any effort
to increase their holdings, and so long
as the big firms remain out of the field
the local dealers are willing to await
results.
Now is the time when the buyer can
see what he is paying his money for
and is the logical time to market the
crop, but that is not the way the busi-
ness is conducted late years.
The reported sale of a 200 case lot of
of old leof by GAINESVILLE packer is the
OnlV movement of cured leaf coYnino to
notice.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases from this market to all points
since last report.

THE real question before the voters
in this campaign is whether they wish
to see the Wisconsin efficiency in war
activities maintained. There is no
question as to the results which Gov
ernor Philipp has accomplished in Wis
consin in aiding and directing the work
which has placed the state in the fore
front as to compliance with the de-
mands OF the nation for its war needs.
Governor Philipp has demonstrated
what he can do, and to say the least a
change at this time means to some ex-
tent a change In the organization of
the state in its war work. The ques-
tion before the people is whether such
a change should be made in view of the
record which Governor Phillip has ac-
complished. There would seem to be
no question the answer will be over
whelmingly in support of his contin
uance as head of the state. In his
open letter to the public, Governor
Philipp has frankly and fully discussed
the results which have been accom-
plished in Wisconsin by the general CO.
operation which ne has brought about
of all citizens In behalf of its war work
and the record which is cited for Wis
consin and the acknowledgment of the
federal government as to its efficiency
In themselves tell the story of what the
state administration has accomplished.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The first season of casing weather
since the tobacco crop was harvested
came Saturday with an all night rain
accompanied by mild temperatures that
brought the hanging leaf into excep-
tionally fine condition for stripping
throughout the curing sheds. Growers
who were prepared to give attention to
stripping have removed some portion
of the crop and will Immediately put it
in bundles. 1t is so rare that the to-
bacco reached such perfect condition
or that the crop was SO thoroughly
cured that the temptation was strong
to remove larger portion than is US
ual at the first casing season. October
is generally considered a rather early
date for stripping for fear that subse-
quent warm weather might cause the
bundle to heat but in the present sea-
son the moisture is so completely out
of the leaf and stems the danger from
this source is largely removed. If labor
could be had now it might be good
plan to get as. much of the crop in the
bundle as possible for the chances are
both that the crop will not be in better
condition later for stripping or that
help can be had when most needed.
Care however should be taken that the
bundled tobacco be kept in a cool place
and not piled close enough to start fer
mentation.

Because of an amendment to the
Kitchin bill agreed upon by the Finance
committee of the Senate, something
like 10000, 900 persons will have to
wrestle with the complexities and in
tricacies of a personal income return
blank this fiscal year. Under the ex-
isting law only those'who have net
income of 81, 900 if single and 81, 600 if
married are to make returns. Under
the amendment every person whose
gross income is 81, 900 or more will
have to report One result of this
amendment will be to cause wage earn
ers to make returns. Another will be
to get some millions of farmers or rec
ord. Heretofore it was an easy mat
ter for man with gross income of
anywhere from 81, 200 to SIS, 900, or even
more, to make running jump estimate
and decide that his net income was less
than 81, 900 or So, ZOO. If he satisfied
his conscience and no tax collector
came around to investigate he got off
without paying an income tax. Most
farmers and wage earners figured that
the law was-not intended for them any
way. Practically every adult person
who is engaged in a gainful occupation
is now making 81, 900 year or more,
and under the terms of the amendment
will be required to make return Or be
penalized.

The present stocks of cigars in Ger
many will not last beyond the end of
the present year, according to the
Berlin Tageblatt in Commerce Report
of the 18th inst. Not only has there
been a considerable increase in the
prices of cigars, but the quality has de-
terioated. The publication says that
manufacture of cigars in Germany is
carried on in about /, 1000 establishments
large, medium and small. In times
of peace these factories would obtain
e-fourths of the raw tobacco need
ed from abroad and only one-fourth
from Germany. The war brought
about an unusual increase in the con-
sumption, as many soldiers who had
notrbeen smokers before learned in the
field. The cigar and cigarette not
only helped them to bear hunger and
other privations more cheerfully, but
were also valuable as means to soothe
their nerves. At home, too, the num-
of smokers increased considerable so
that the annual production amounting
to 5000, 900, 900 in peace times increos-
ed to IL, 900, 900, 900 in 1916.
***
After ten years of cultivation in
Chippewa, Dunn, Barron, Eau Claire
and other nearby counties, tobacco has
become staple in northern Wisconsin,
taking it's place beside other sureshot
crops in this section. AS recently as
four years ago farmers objected to
raising tobacco in this Chippewa dis
trict because they said it entailed too
much hard work. Nowadays you do
not have to listen to farmer telling
about the hard work with his tobacco
because he has become used to caring
for the noxious weed after it is cut,
Just the same as he does with any other
crop, such as oats, hay, corn, more es-
pecially potatoes. This Chippewa coun-
try is naturally adapted to the Spanish
Comstock and kindred varieties that
grow luxuriantly with leaves measur-
ing 28 to 36 inches long and Is to 20
inches wide. A good field of tobacco
here will weigh out 1900 pounds and
even goes to 1000 pounds where the
soil is especially fertilized. At 80 cents
a pound an acre will bring gross from
$3.50 to $780, A 20-acre field will give
a farmer about $4,000 gross, more
than enough to buy farm and thereby
gain incompetence for life. The past
season the tobacco acreage in this sec
tion almost doubled. 1t is estimated
that the total tobacco acreage in north
ern Wisconsin this year will total over
5000, which should yield pack of 800,-
600 pounds or more. Chippewa Falls
