HE TOBACCO MARKET

In spite of the cold and snowy
weather tobacco continues to be
brought to this city, although many
people wonder how the drivers
manage to get here. We understand
that the market is a little better this
week than last. Upon inquiring of
one of the managers regarding the
condition of the market he said,
"Please state that the market is
steady" There we're no sales held
Monday but on Tuesday the unfn-
ished sale at the Farmers house was
resumed Tuesday and 1915 pounds
sold for an average Of 1921. A
couple of good crops on this floor
this morning we're: Shrout &
Bradford, BOTS pounds, averaged
$32.02; Lee & Pickett, 1856
pounds averaged 5000. The reds
are bringing slightly better prices
than last week. Tobacco that has
been brought to the market in good
order is bringing better prices as
all buyers want this tobacco. 1t is
money to the prower IN hrinO hic
tobacco to the market in good shape
although some growers continue to
bring in wet, soggy tobacco and ex-
pect good price for it. The sale
is in progress on the Whitehall
floor as we go to press and we are
unable to give any averages. The
next sale will be held at the Rob-
ertson house Wednesday morning.

Baptist church for many years and
was one of the most faithful work
ers in the church and having a
voice of rare sweetness her SER
vices we're always in demand and
everyone knows how freely she
gave of her time and talent. The

choir with her for more than fif-
teen years and she always seemed
happiest when giving the long ted
ious hours to choir rehearsals OF
rendering some service for her God
and her church; and now that she

ton, with burial in Machpelah Gem
etery.
In the passing of this good wo-
man our community has suffered 1
severe loss and mere words Of
sympathy to the bereaved family
seem frail and inefficient, yet il
their hour of sorrow may we in.
trude long enough to say that theil
sorrow is our sorrow and that theil
loss is our loss and with the hop,
that He that knoweth all things vii
in his own good time give balm tC
their aching hearts.

WAR FLOUR is
ON THE MARKET
Some Patent Flour Still on Market
But Supply Is Said to
Be Limited.

here and throughout the country.
No patent flour has been made
in Louisville since December 26th
when the recent ruling Of the Food
Administration became effective.
The price of -four to the con-
sumner will remain about the same.
This is due, the millers say, to the
fact that the price Of feed has been
arbitrarily reduced by the Govern
ment.
Ballard & Ballard Company
made the following announcement: :
"The United States Food Admin
istration issued its celebrated circu-
lar, No. 6, in which it is officially
announced: "No hcensee engaged
in the business of milling flour and
feed from wheat shall, after De-
cember 25, 1917, use more than
264 pounds of SIS pounds per BUSH
ell or heavier clean wheat in making
1876 pounds Of 100 per cent. -four
None of the above -four so milled
shall be mixed with or sold as feed. !"
This ruling simply means that
commencing December rs all mills
in the country shall make uni
form character of flour that is a
so-called "war -four" This new
war -four will gradually come on
the market as stocks of old brands
of high grade flour shall have been
absorbed by the consuming public.
The mills throughout The country
must cease and have ceased to
manufacture and offer high-grade
brands of patent flour. The order
of the day hereafter is good
straight -four, containing for hu-
man consumption some of the
fibrous particles of the wheat berry
that heretofore have gone, in the
process of milling, into the by
product, or wheat feed, for cattle
and hogs. This is really what the
new governmental ruling means.
1t must be evident to the layman
that the 100 per cent. -four now
made from four bushels and twenty
four pounds of wheat will not be as
good as the -four formerly made by
mills out of four bushels and thirty
pounds of wheat, for the law re-
quires that we use six pounds less
of wheat to make '196 pounds of
flour. 1t is estimated that this
new Government ruling will save
about 100000 bushels of wheat
during the current crop year, which
means 100000 bushels of wheat
more that the country can squeeze
out for shipment to France, Bel
GUM, Great Britain and Italy,
The public must understand that
this is but another measure for
the conservation of wheat and -four
on the part of hte United States
Food Administration, in order that
the country may have more wheat
and -four to ship to our suffering
European allies.
The price of -four to the con-
sumner will remain practically un-
changed, due to the fact that the
Government ruling arbitrarily puts
the price of mill feed down about
$40 per ton, in addition to reduc-
ing the net quantity of feed milled
her barrel. One of the effects of
this should be to conserve corn
and make cornmeal cheaper.
Personally we cannot speak too
highly of the splendid work, Ma
tional and State, that is being done
by the United States Food Admin
istration. If it were not for the
governmental control of the United
States Food Administration the
consumer today would undoubtedly
be paying $40 per barrel for wheat
-four. We must all submit cheer

ward pass brought about a condition which I had predicted; it so changed football that by its use a faster and lighter team could cope successfully with the heaviest aggregation that could be put together.
 Those whoshave been my friends in- sist that I have evolved more forward pass plays than the majority of coaches that are in the game today. But those friends of mine fail to give my players the splendid credit that is due to them coach can teach the game and drill his men-but when the team goes on the field he ceases to be a factor. It is his players who win-or lose-the game.
 T have been most fortunate in being connected for many years with Georgia Tech, where I have found players that are a credit to any college in America. Practically ali of the glay-ers who have figured conspicuorsiy in Georgia Techs history through the past few years have been southerners-and they have shown the true spirit of the south,
 Courage and fearlessness seem to be inborn in those boys who have played under the standard of Georgia Tech. They have gone against teams time and again that have outweighed them elsvens that looked like giants in com parisons with my boys.
 Georgia Tech has swept through 1915, 1916 and 1917 without suffering defeat. Those three teams constitute perhaps the greatest that ever were re- CT uited in the south. l have seen many

Tn letters to Walter Camp and other members of the football rules committee I advanced arguments to show that the forward pass was the redeemer of football. 1t was my argu- ment that by opening up the game and eliminating most of the mass plays, that the number of deaths and injuries would be reduced to a minimum It was also pointed out in my letters that an aerial game would make it far more in interesting from the spectators view point. and would speed up the play ina and bring about a general alI- around improvement.
 For nearly three years, however, the rule makers of football were hesi- tant about adopting so radical a change Many were afraid that forward passing would make football too much like basketball
 But in 1905. when the very founda- tion of football was quaking, the rule makers decided upon the forward pass as the saving factor and approved Its ,,se. since which time 1t has brought ,bout a great revolution in football s Naturally, when the embargo was lifted on the forward pass I at once set about perfecting as many plays as I could in the new game. Through most of my coaching years I have handled light elevens because I have tutored at colleges where the enrolment was small and the material as a rule, rather light In those days my teams always were handicapped in going against elev- ems that outweighed them from 10 to 30 pounds. But the coming of the for

 caused storm of criticism to be leveled at the game. A year later the injuries and deaths increased and the climax
 came in 1905. IL was in that season that 26 players were killed and hun Greds were injured-some of them crip- pied permanently.
 Football was in a bad way. A great hue and cry was raised against 1t and the life of the game was menaced by strenuous opposition.

 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No differ ence how dull, faded, brittle and scrag- gy, just moisten cloth with Dandcrine and carefully draw 1t through your hair. taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amazing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incompar- able lustre, softness and luXuriance.
