NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Germans
are becoming uneasy over what may
happen to them in their homeland, for,
according to q Dutchmsn just re-
turned from Germany, they are max
ing concrete foundations for heavy
artillery at various places along the
Rhine, says q special cable from The
Hague to the New York Sun. In an
interview today he said he saw some
Of these gun emplacements, built Of
concrete and extending as much as
eighteen yards into the ground, and
strongly REINFORCED with iron and
steel
He did not hear any reasons ex-
pressed for these precautionary meas
ures, but surmised the German mill
tary situation In France had taken a
turn for the worse, and that the au-
thorities had determined to be pre-
pared for any eventualities-,
Strikes are becoming increasingly
frequent and the longing for peace
ever greater throughout industrial
Germany. The traveller said condi-
tions were growing steadily worse;
that disease had become so prevalent
and the mortality so great that fire.

of the masses of the people could
hardly be more depressed
In Cologne, where great war muni-
tion factories are located, he said
the workers frequently left the shops
to plunder the municipal bread shops
and other stores where food was kept
for sale. Police, mounted and foot
cavalry, are obliged to patrol the
streets constantly to prevent ex-
cesses. All provision stores in Co

NO DAILY FAIR PRICE
LIST POSSIBLE NOW

There will be no daily publication
Of a fair price list, at least not at
the present time or in the immediate
future, because IT would be impossible
to compile it," Clarence R. Wilson
District Food Administrator, said to-
day.
He was definite in his declaration
and explained that the big increase in
the duties of the food administration
during the past few weeks, due, to a
great extent to the increase in prof
iteering here, made a daily compila
ton OF fair price" list beyond the
bounds OF possibility.
This is the answer to the request
OF the National Federation OF Federal
Employees for the issuance OF 4 daily
list OF fair prices for Washington.
However, Mr.. Wilson faVoFs a daily
list, and when the time is ripe, will
advocate it

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. 8, 1915

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. 8, 1918.
With the New England tobacco crop
safely housed, and never in the history
of the industry in better condition, at
this date as regards the cure, interest
turns to the warehouse season, prob
able prices which the manufacturers
will pay for the new crop, and in gen.
eral way to the 1919 outlook.
The amount of tobacco in the barns
is easily the largest on record. The
acreage planted would insure this if
the crop was only normal as regards
weight. Early in July there We're in
dications that irreparable loss had been
suffered through drouth. Rain came
at the psychological moment and the
crop made recovery little short of
miraculous. This does not mean that
there were no lasting effects from the
drouth. AS matter of fact hundreds
of acres were stunted in the weeks in
which no rain fell.
Estimates vary widely concerning the
probable yield. The percentage OF the
sungrown acreage which was primed
was larger than ever before. The sun
grown crop should yield big supply OF
wrappers. Every wrapper, of course,
means one less binder leaf. In any
case the largest supply of binder to-
bacco in recent years is assured.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page ~
Pennsylvania.


LANCASTER, IA, OcC. ., 1910.
Now that the 1913 tobacco crop
has been harvested, with none of it
having been sold on the field fully
hree-fourths Of it having been sold IN
that manner last year,, there is much
speculation among both growers and
packers about the buying Of the crop.
Some packers who have investigated
the situation are now convinced that
the grower upon being approached rel
alive to the sale of the tobacco will not
speak in terms of thirty cents and up
ward One prominent packer, who has
an order for several thousand cases or
tobacco. makes the assertion that he
can go out among the growers and buy
all he needs at less than twenty cents.
AS yet there has been no indication
of a sign of buying on the part Of the
big concerns. For this reason the
smaller packers with orders on hand
for tobacco are making no attempt to
make purchases, feeling assured that
when the time comes for buying that
thew will be able to fill all their de-
mands. To start buying now would be
to give pretty much what the growers
demand. To delay until the big inter-
ests show whether they are going to
buy or not would mean in case of the
latter event a big tumble in prices.
which it is worth while to wait for; IN
short, there is everything to be gained
by delay and nothing to lose.
Among the dealers in tobacco prices
for old goods are lower now than they
were two months ago.

Obituary
WILLIAM ROBERTS ToYNToN

William Roberts Toynton was born
August 8, 1885 on the old Toynton
farm a half mile North of Edgerton,
where his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Toynton ST., made their home.
Orphaned early in life, Will was
reared and cared for by his grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Toyn-
ton. His education was obtained in
the graded and high schools at Edg-
erton.
On April II, 1917, Mr.. Toynton
was united in marriage to Hattie
Marie Slagg, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Slagg, formerly of Al
bion Prairie, now of Atascadero,
California. To this union daughter
Bonnibel was born August %, 1913.
On Friday, October 4, the young
husband and father was stricken
with influenza, rapidly developing in
to pneumonia, which caused his death
on Friday, October IL, just one week
later.
This untimely end was a shock to
the entire community. William Toyn-
ton, commonly called "Bill," was
known and loved by everyone, espe-
cially the children, who could always
draw a smile and cherry welcome
from his lips. He was an intense
lover of nature, of animals, and OF
outdoor sports. His word was his
honor; and universally respected.
A giant in physique, his heart was
still larger, so that he never stopped
to any mean or unkind act. The
numberless kind deeds he performed
endeared him to everyone with whom
he came in contact. How, hard, then,
must the parting be for the near and
dear ones he has left behind.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
wife and infant daughter, his three
cousins, John and Lila Toynton OF
this city, Bessie Toynton OF Spokane,
Washington, and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held at the
Watts farm, just East of the city
limits, where Mr.. and Mrs. Toynton
have made their home since their
marriage, at one-thirty Monday aft
ernoon October 18th. The services
were conducted by Rev. Hooton OF
Edgerton. Mr.. and Mrs. d. E. Ro-
berts of Fort Atkinson rendered a
touching duet "Asleep in Jesus"
Those present from out-of-town
included; Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Ro-
berts, Mr.. and Mrs. D. E. Roberts,
and Floyd Roberts of Fort Atkinson;
Mr.. and Mrs. John Slagg, Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Simpson, Mrs. Otto Krue-
ger and Mr.. F. A. North Of Albion;
and Mr.. C. M. Slagg of Madison.

MRS. HENRY PIERCE.

Harriet Belle Park was born Sep
TENDER 26, 1886 and died October z,
1918. Growing into bright girlhood,
vivacious and yet studious, she after
graduating from the High School at
Milton Junction became for seven
years a successful teacher, greatly
loved by her pupils and priced by
the school communities.
She was happily married to Henry
E. Pierce March Is. 1911. The men
tai and moral qualities of Mrs. Hen
ry Pierce have been recognized as OF
high order.
She early consecrated herself to
the service of the Lord Jesus, was
member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. She was always ready for
active duty and efficient in it's dis
charge, having held the offices IN
MELVILLE of S. S. Superintendent and
President of the Young Peoples So
ciety. She was always thinking and
planning for the good of others and
like her Lord and Master unselfish,
and full of kindness. She was deep
Nv affectionate and devoted to the
dear ones of the home counting 1t a
delight to give up year of her work
as a teacher to tenderly care for her
much beloved father in his sickness.
The charming traits of her charac-
ter for which her memory will be
lovingly cherished blossomed in the
vernal toll of her nature as natural
ly as any of Gods flowers grow.
Our God makes no mistakes.
"God gives US love, something to
love,
He leads US then when love is
grown to ripeness
That on which it throve,
Falls off, and love is left alone"
We know where Harriet has gone
She is with Jesus, the wife, the
Sister the Child of our affection.
Gone where she no longer needs
our protection, and Christ him
self doth dwell.
We will be patient, vassage the
feeling
We may not wholly stay
By silence, sanctifying not con-
cealing
The grief that must have way.
The relatives left to mourn her
loss are her husband, Henry E..
Pierce, her mother, Mrs. Park, her
twin sister, Violet and another sis
ter, Mrs. L. A. Anderson of Rugby,
North Dakota.
