HIGH PRICE OF TOBACCO.

The advance in the price of tobac-
day on the Wilson market was $780,
600 pounds at an average of Sc cents
per pound.
1t is no uncommon thing nova
days to see tobacco bring a dollar
a pound and much has sold as high
as 10 to 1.5O and some as high
as $3.50 per pound.
The trade has been waiting for the
poor grades of tobacco to come on
the market and in this way have
been anticipating Decline, but
if the poor grades come out the
advance is so great that the average
keeps rising it matters now what
the grade of tobacco. Since the op-
ening of the market the common to-
bacos have increased in value about
200 per cent and from the price
therefore there is no cheap tobacco
1t is all high.
One farmer sold one pile of to-
bacco a few days ago containing
SIS pounds for s65S00 an average
of "a cents per pound This man
raised at least thousand pounds tc

bated and voted on as one.

Boozo, Famous Beer
Drinking Cat, Dies
From Near Variety

Ted Metzger, zone of the boys
of Council Bluffs, says he has seen
the ribbon winning cat of the world.
Ted Travelled all over France, but
believes the worlds greatest cat
lives in the United States.
"Boozo," as the story goes, is
the name of the cat. During the
good old days" his daily fare was
small quantity of beer. When
meal time arrived the cat was given
small pail, which it would carry
directly across the street to saloon
where kind bartender would give
the cat its allotment of beer. And
the story goes that at some meals
the kitty would actually be seen un-
der the influence of Intoxicating
liquor, staggering and wabbling an
evervthin'.
On the close of the saloons with
nation wide prohibition, the proud
owner of Booze" laid away a
supply of beer but few days ago
the supply ran out and Booze"
was forced to live on near beer. He
could not stand it for many meals
and the sudden shock from the
sublime to the ridiculous killed the
prize winning cat. "Boozo" was
layed to rest and his funeral was
attended by many mourners.

Soldier Back From
War Doesn't Believe
In Superstition

Some of US think there is lot OF
truth to it, but John Dewitt, Coun-
Gil Bluffs, member of Company L,
l68th regiment Rainbow division,
says he never will give it a second
thought as long as he lies,
John, like lots of others, was
superstitious about black cats run
ming in front of him and he never
would be the third man to light =
cigaret off of the same match. So
when John reached France he de-
cided it would be the best place in
the world to discover if there was
any truth to it. He was a battalioa &,
runner and had many opportunities
to be killed. but he is back in the
states and attending school at Ne
braska.
Every chance John had to be the
third man to- light hrs cigaret off
of the same match he took it,
whether he was in the trenches or
in No Mans land. He escaped in
jury until few months before the
war when he Was seriously injured
and gassed after successfully de-
livering message to his COM
mander.
John claims he was unable to find
two buddies who wanted to smoke
the same time he did so he could
be the third man and that is the
reason he was finally injured. Joha
surely doesn't believe in supsAe
ton now.
