kirdIy explain the use and origin
of Holy Water?
1t was customary in the Old Tesla
ment to make use of lustral water as
n religious rite. In the New Tesla
ment there is evidence that Holy
Water was used from the earliest
ages. Thus in early times a cleric
was stationed at the entrance to
Christian churches, and he sprinkled
the faithful with Holy Water as they
came in. This water was blessed in
proportion as it was needed. In the
Greek church it was usual to bless the
Holy Water at the beginning of each
lunar month.
Holy Water has always been looked
upon as a sacramento OF the Church.
that is, one OF those objects which has
been blessed with prayers of the
Church for the use of the faithful
Hence, in the earliest times Chris
tians made use of Holy Water on en-
tering the church, in their homes, and
on many other occasions.
Is it a sin not to believe in the use
of Holy Water.
1t is a sin.

TOBACCO SEASON
OPENS WITH PRICES
FROM 10c TO S1.0O
Opening Prices at Lexington Are
Higher Than First Of Last Season
Record Breaking Crowd in
Attendance.

Lexington, KY, December with
5000 tobacco growers on the market
the Lexington loose leaf sales started
for the season today with prices con-
siderably higher than at the opening q
year ago, but not so high as later in
the 1918 season.
Prices ranged from 10 cents to 81
pound, the latter figure being paid
for sixty pounds of the crop Of w. M.
Alexander, Fayette county colored
man, who raised AGO pounds on a
fourth of an acre, which paid him
s316.46, or at the rate of s1,265.S0 an
acre.
Besides the sixty-pound basket at 81
Alexander had 120 pounds which
brought 80 cents a pound and $50
which sold at rs cents.
There was a considerable number of
baskets which sold at 20 to 80 cents,
and a number of crop averages run
ming beyond 60 cents pound.
Sales we're held at the Peoples No.
2, Shelburne No. l, and New Headley
No. 1, with the crowds so large that
the auctioneers had to request the
farmers to stand back and give them
room. No such crowd had ever before
been seen in the Lexington tobacco
district. For several blocks, in fact
from Maxwell street to Tattersalls
warehouse, opposite the Fair Grounds,
both sides of the main and cross
streets were lined with automobiles,
besides the buggies.
No report of the total of the sales
was available, but 1t was said 1t would
go close to the million mark. There
was considerable poor tobacco among
the first days offerings, as well as
some first class leaf, and for the lat
ter the bidding was spirited.
Two sets of buyers were on the
floors and this will be increased to
three within few days.
Some crops sold as follows:

RUSSIAN HAS HARD

informed by Colonel T. J. Rogers, ex-
aiming officer, that he must have a
guardian and affidavit of age.
Thorkild Anderson, navy recruiting

Freeman was born in this country
Of Russian parents who have died. He
stated hat he had an uncle some
where in Argentine, South America,
but did not know his address, and
that all his other relatives were in
Russia. AS they live in a section OF
Russia where there have been several
m~assacres, Freeman does not know
whether any Of them are still living
or not as he has not heard from them
for two years.
Two other recruits were examined
by Col. Rogers this morning mad they
will leave tonight for Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo-, where one will be assigned

OQl|l ! NOT
10 FIX PRICES
Fair Quotation List Expect
ed, Early Next Week,
Says Mrs. Sprague.

Mrs. r. A. Sprague, county food
administrator. who returned Friday
night from Fargo, where h attended
a meeting Of the state food ~investiga-
ton committee, calls attention to a
statement given out by r. v. Fyles, a
member of the state committee named
by DR.. e. f. Ladd, relative to h lack
of. power. placed in the hands of that
organization.
Mrs. Sprague also stated that the
"fair price list for Grand Forks
would probably be given gu early
next week by the central committee
meeting in Fargo.
Committees Power.
/ In the statement given out by Mr..
Fyles, he said in part:
1.-The public must understand that
the committee appointed by DR.. Ladd
is not a price-fixing committee. The
sole function of this committee is to
obtain wherever possible the whole
sale cost to the retailer in Fargo. and
then to fix what they believe to be a
fair margin of profit upon the selling
price. Considering very discreetly
the average overhead expense of re-
tail. merchandising, the committee
finds a great many p~erplexing prob
lens, for the reason that there are
nj two stores that operate with the
same overhead expense. The public
must understand that the govern
meIt has not clothed this committee
with authority to fix prices upon any
of the retail articles of food. The
E.committee believes that that is the
general impression in Fargo, as well
as throughout the state.
"The committee has 10 power to
determine the measure of honesty the
retailer will exercise in placing his
percentage Of profit upon what he will
state is the wholesale, cost. To illus
trate: The retailer may purchase
goods for his shelves at less cost from
the wholesaler after the price fixing
committee has found what is a fair
profit upon those given products, yet
he can hold to the price fixed by the
committee.
ION the other hand, it must be re-
membered that, If the wholesale price
increases to the retailer. the retail
price must automatically increase.
This is permitted for the reason that
the fair price committee has no
power to deal with the profits of the
wholesaler. This is another instance
where the public will have to trust
to the honesty Of the retailer regard
less of the price fixed by the COM
mittee.'
