CHAPTER X.

The next day Patterson telephoned
her that he had called a rehearsal
with the company. Daphne went to
the theater in terror. The stage
looked utterly forlorn with the actors
and actresses standing about in their
street clothes. Under the bright lights
with the people made up and the au-
dience in full bloom, like q vast gar
den, there would be impersonality and
stimulation; but the present scene was
as doleful as the funeral of an unpop-
ular man.
Courage was largely matter of her
superself forcing her reluctant feet
forward. A soldier ordered to leave
q bombproof shelter for an advance,
a playground of shrapnel, has just the
struggle with his vaso-motor system
that Daphne had with hers.
With the kindliest smile an amiable
wolf ever wore Patterson invited the
fluttering lamb to come to the stream
and drink. Daphne came forward In
a trance and heard Patterson say:
Ladies and gentlemen-Miss Kip,
our new understudy. Give her all the
help you can"
Miss Kemble had graciously chosen
to be present for that purpose, though
the result was only to increase Daph-
mes embarrassment. An imitation In
the presence of the living model was
n double load to carry.

him In an emergency and be always
responded.
Leila came home eventually fun Of
gossip and triumph. Her Dutilh gown
had made a tremendous success; the
other women wanted TO murder her.
Mrs. Kip broke in en- her chronicles
with the dismal announcement Of
Daphne's new insanity. Leila was al
most as bitter in opposition as Mrs.
Kip had been. but from quite another
motive. Leila had aristOcratic Inn
pulses and looked forward TO social
splendors. She would gain no help
from the fact that her husbands sister
was a theatrical struggler.
Daphne escaped an odious battle
with her by referring to the need OF
close study. and retreated into her
own room, locking her mother out.
She stayed there, repeating her lines
over and over and trying to remember
the action that went with them as
Miss Kemble had played it. She had
a quick memory. but the information Of
the lines gave her extraordinary diff
Guilty.
She remembered one of Miss KEN
ble's most delicious effects. She came
on the stage unanEOunced and, paus-
ing in the doorway, smiled whimsically
and said, How do you do?" That was
ADJUST How do you do?" But she

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Ddnderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle of Knowlton'S Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, f1uffneSS and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
4 few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

sal With the Company.

uttered it so deliciously that ripple
of joy ran through the audience.
Daphne tried to master the trick of it,
but with no success. She said "How
do you doT" in dozens Of ways, with
no result except to render the phrases
meaningless gibberish.
Daphne flung down the part she was
studying and flung away ambition, and
went out to tell the family that she
agreed with them.
She was confronted by Leila in a
role of despair. Bayard had tele-
phoned that he could not get home for
dinner. He would not be home in
time to take Leila to the theater as
he had promised.
Leila was in frenzy. She had moth
ing to do but wait for her man to
come and take her somewhere.
Daphne understood the tragedy of the
modern wife: lowered with freedom,
pampered with amusements, deprived
of the blessing Of toll, unaccustomed
to seraglian torpor, she must yet wait
on the whims or necessities of her hus-
band.
Daphne reconsidered her decisions.
Better all the difficulties and heart
aches of the actress-trade than this
prison loafing Of wifely existence. She
had something to do.

He bowed farewell, then changed
his mind, entered the room and sat

VIRoQUA. Wis. Jan. Is, 1911


There appears to be something of a
contention batween some buyers and
deliveries over contracted crops. 1t is
asserted that the goods are not'accord-
ing to contract in quality and manner
of handling in sheds. We learn that
crops contracted at 35 to 40 cents are
declined at more than Is cents. When
withdrawn the crops have been sold to
others at 20 or rs cents. This is most
unfortunate, for it has been generally
believed we grew the best crop last
year that the county has known. 1t
would be unjust for buyers TO decline
to receive at practically the contract
price if the goods are up to the stand
ard. The mere possible fact that too
extravagant prices were agreed upon
in the early buying campaign is not
sufficient reason for firms to repudiate
their contracts. They are entitled,
however, to get what they paid for.
The Censor sincerely hopes that the
broadest fairness will be exercised be-
tween contractors and growers.
The prevailing price per hundred for
sorting tobacco is the same this year
as last, $1.25. In past years it has
been as low as 60c, then 75c and Soc,
jumping to SIPS last year.
The Otto Eisenlohr & Bros Co. has
leased the Espeseth warehouse and will
start receiving this week. Their rep
resentative, Mr.. Snyder of Pennsyl-
avnia, has been here looking after af-
fairs of the company, then going to
Gays Mills. Ole Hulsether accompan-
led him and will take charge of the
warehouse there. Censor.

NEW YORK, Jan. is, 1919.

While there is nothing remotely SEN
sational in the rather brisk demand for
old tobaccos which the domestic leaf
market has been experiencing since
the dawn Of the new year, there is no
doubt of its frightening effect upon
the general attitude Of the packers.
This does not mean that there has been
any alteration in the firmly held deter
mination on the part of the packers
that the farmers must recede very rad
ically from the prices they have been
asking and are still asking for the. 1918
crop. Neither do they assume that
the mild activity which is at present
being felt presages any phenomenal de-
mand. It is taken, however, as a
healthy sign that cigar manufacturers
are speedily returning to normal pro-
duction. Holders of old tobaccos are
now confident that they will be able to
dispose of their high-priced stocks at
prices which will, at least. save them
from loss. Leaf.

EDGERToN. WIS. Jan. "a, Is

EDGERTON. WIS. Jan. "a, 1919
The fact that the tobacco growers
are vitality interested in disposing of
their crops is in evidence from the
large meeting of Dane county farmers
held at Madison on the 18th when a
minimum price of 80 cents was again
named as the holding point. But in
spite of the disposition in some quart
ers to hold for higher prices, there is
more of the crop moving in the north
ern sections than for many weeks past.
Buyers are quietly picking up crops at
from 20 to Is and even 28 cents for
choice. lots, with 10 cents for the filler
grades. Such movement is likely to
continue and possibly spread to other
sections as spring approaches and the
growers find they must prepare to sort
and hold or sell at going prices. The
larger operators, however, have not
yet interested themselves much in the
trading.
The receiving of the early purchases
is proceeding in moderate manner,
which is releasing large amount of
ready cash which even the tax collect
ors are glad to take their toll from.
More warehouses are being opened at
the packing points and help organized
for the seasons work.
The only sale of old leaf coming to
notice is 50cs lot of Ohio by A. Jen-
son & Son.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases and cars of bundles from
this market to all points since last re-
port

LANCASTER Pa, Jan. ID, 1919.
The 1913 crop has moved at last, but
the movement is not an avalanche and
will not hurt anybody. The few pack
ers who admit doing little buying re-
fuse to tell whose crops they bought,
and the growers refuse to admit that
the prices at which the crops sold were
the true prices The claim is made
that bonuses were given on the quiet.
The writer was told by the buyer for
one concern that he haG recently bought
thirty acres, paying as low as twelve
cents pound. It is understood that
buyers for the General Cigar Go. have
been out through the county offering
twelve cents. The report of low prices
being accepted has created a painful
impression among the growers. They
are beginning to realize that they can
not get anything like last years prices.
The old cry of big concerns combin-,
ing to depress prices carries little
weight now. Nobody doubts the will
ingness of packers to buy tobacco as
eheaply as possible, bat there has new
er been time yet in Lancaster county
when dealers combined to smash prices.
If the growers could only be made to
understand the law of demand and sup
ply, everything would be plain sailing.

growers are proceeding with stripping

LET J0BSTAND
is MOTTO OF
GOVERNMENT

Washington, Jan. 30.-It will be the
policy OF the government in shipyard
strikes to ''let the job stand" Charles
Keyes, general director Of the Emer-
gency Fleet corporation said today.
He referred particularly to the situa-
ton at Seattle, where he said men
had been out for week and at San
Francisco where he said it was re-
ported workers in two trades intend
ed to go out shortly.
Mr.. Keyes declared most of the
yards needed breathing spell; that
he did not think the government
would continue to provide work at
extremely high wages and that it was
highly unwise for shipyard workers
to call strikes at existing scales.
"Most of the yards need breath
ing spell and an opportunity to 60
over their yards. How greatly the
cost has increased is shown by the
fact that in one Pacific coast yard,
wages now give each worker $1.7O
for putting in the same time he would
have been given $1.00 for year ago,
"In an Atlantic Coast yard, l have
in mind, workmen receive 500 for
putting in time that brought them
$1.00 a year ago, and the average
production has dropped in some in.
stances to 66 % per cent than what
it was a year ago.
THE result has been to make ship
construction almost prohibitive."
