PROTECT THE FLY

Oh, do not swat the humble fly, nor in your wrath upbraid him. What right have you to make him die? It was not you who made him. God moves in e mysterious way to work his many wonders, and who are you, that you should say that he has made some blunders? The fly performs the daily task appoint ed by his makeF; he helps the doc. in sunshine bask, and feeds the un- dertaker. Whene'er he walks across your bread, his gentle footsteps fall ing, he writes a message from the dead-he starts the angels calling. So let the little fly alone, nor threat en to chastise him. The mortuary files have shown there's some do not despiSe him.

 While we are not taking sides for or against the matter, it does occur to us that the people who are resi- dents and large property owners within the area of the boundaries described in the petition should be allowed to take a vote upon the question and to incorporate and tax themselves for their own benefit if they so desire.
 The case comes up again before the Commissioner on the 18th of August at 10 o'clock a. m. when a final hearing will be had in the matter.

The tie-up in the shipping business
has served to make the Water Street
market dull during the past week. No
tobacco deliveries have been made to
the market, and no tobacco stock has
gone out All news serves to confirm
the strength shown in the filler market.
The filler areas have been gone over
pretty thoroughly for the remaining
1917 and 1918 holdings, and any avail
able stock of the 1919 is sought, though
as yet the supply of this is limited. Of
the binder market the Tobacco Leaf
states substantially what it did week
ago. We quote:
The statement has been made before,
in these columns, that the binder sit
uation threatens to be even more acute
than last year, and opinions gathered
from authoritative sources continue to
bear out the truth of this assertion.
The rapid asorption of force-sWeated
stocks, as soon as they have come into
the market, furnishes an index to the
extremely depleted condition of the
manufacturers supplies, and packers
state that the supplies, available for
the open market in the fall, will GER
tainly fall far short of the present in
dicated demand. Only another pro-
longed strike or unexpected drop in ci-
gar production, they say, can possibly
avert the stringent situation in the
binder market which is now threatened.

Some activity in"the buying market
has developed during the week. Sew
eral 1919 crops have been picked up in
the Stoughton territory, and the indi-
cations are that the packers are in
earnest about gathering in the balance
of last years crop sooner than was an
ticipated week ago. The prices for
common tobacco range from 18 to 22
cents, with sales at rs cents also re-
ported. 1918 binders are sought by
manufacturers. the large manufac-
turing firms may have stocked up pref
ty we'll, but the smaller ones are
eagerly looking for moderate size lots
of good binders. The shipping condi-
tions have added to the misery Of the
manufacturers. They have supply
to draw from. but can not get their
purchases moved on account of the car
situation. The asserting is speeding
up. Perhaps 60 to 20 per cent of the
received goods has gone over the tables.
and the season may close somewhat
earlier than predicted couple weeks
ago.. The growers are struggling
against the odds of a cold, raw and
backward season. The seed beds are
not all planted, though a great rush
will be made during this week if the
weather holds. The seed shows strong
er terminating powers than the first
tests indicated, and that is going to
help some. The growers are planning
to raise the same amount of tobacco as
last year, though no assurance can be
had of the size of the acreage until
transplanting time. Otherwise things
are quiet, everybody busy, everybody
anxious to push for successful season.

HARTFORD, CT, April 81, 1920.
The reports from the New England
growing sections agree that the plant
ing season will be from week to ten
days late on account of the unseason-
able weather. Not many seed beds
have been planted, and those already
seeded may have to be re-sown. The
fertilizer situation, which looked bright
er week ago, is worse than ever, on
account of strikes, both on the rail-
roads and among the stevedores on the
rivers. Those depending on barn fer
tilizer shipped by boat from New York
are up against it as long as the navi-
cation has not opened. The Broadleaf
is now being packed for the sweat, and
the warehouse operations have begun
to cease. The reorganization of the

LANCASTER, Pa, April 21, 1920
While the seed beds in the Pennsyl-
vania tobacco regions are pretty gen.
orally planted, the outlook for late to-
bacco is a condition to be considered.
Very little transplanting can take place
before the first part of June, and this
means that the harvest will come in
the September frost period. A few
farmers have artifcially heated beds,
and these may get plants for May
transplanting, but only few are SO
situated. Yet, the acreage to be plant
ed may reach that of two years ago
when Is, 600 acres were titled for to-
bacco. The few 1917 sales made by
dealers have figured around 35 cents.
The 1919 is of very light weight, and
though of excellent burn, it will fall
short of the demand. The reports of
black rot in the crop seem to have
been premature; packers saying that
few crops have been as free from it as
,is this one.

It is said that the manipulation of the silver market, which has been exhausting the industry foE thirty years, is the most perfectly organized process in the world and one of the most profitable, says the Boulder County Miner. In its op- eration the heads of the currency system of the United States and England participate in outright manner Primarily the Silver Pool has control at the source of a tre- fnendous volume of silver, as that of the American Smelling and Re finina O., the larger smelters of Mexico and South America, as well as a less assured connection with the Canadian plants. The regular flow of silver is used, tosethel wlth government operations, to affect the relations of supply and demand. This stream of silver is boarded after it has been bought in a period of low prices, until there is an up- ward trend of price, at which stage the governments are relied upon to come into the market with a de- mand that has been held back ..dur- ing the period of low prices when the pool was buying.
 When the top of the market is reached and all the accumulated demand is supplied, the govern mcnts retire from the market and every ordinary market is closed, creating u regular and oft-repeat- ed silver slump. This is the pro- cess which has been going on for years, on which the Silver Pool se- cures profit of from IS to 30 per cent on ats silver purchases over and above legitimate commissions. The United States senate declares it knows nothing of such opera tions, and the English parliament no doubt declares equal ignorance, though of the latter there is some doubt, arising from the fact that England and English operators are the principal benefciaries.

to his weighty sentences and. when
they go away, they vote as he has
talked. A poor man, living in the most
frugal simplicity, he always had the

without attempting to start a parade
about the hall. Harding delegates
from other states, however, and Hard

to be unable to decide whether it
would give the Ohio candidate a
demonstration to be classed with
those accorded the others. At the

Sutherland, of
Vest Virginia,
Last Nominated

Joseph NJ. Sanders, of West Virginia.
In placing the name of Senator Howard
Sutherland in nomination, told his
hearers that>care should be exercised
IN the choice of candidate, inasmuch
as the greatest crisis in the history OF
the nation is now being faced.
Mr.. Sanders pictured Senator Suth-
erland as man who could be de-
pended upon to meet this crisis. "Thc
people of the country want the hand of
tyranny removed from about their
throats," said Mr.. Sanders. "The rule
Of despotism should not be allowed to
longer stand. We have q man who
measures up to requirements in Sen
ator Howard Sutherland, of West Nir-
ginia.

bringing honor to the people he SO
ably represented. His experience as
a public official and successful basi-
ness man and his comprehensive
vision upon government matters
eminently fit him to serve the people
and discharge with credit the duties of
this high Office"
While Mr.. Sanders spoke the con-
fusion in the hall reached it's peak
the crowd making all the noise it could
without inconveniencing itself. In ses-
sion more than seven hours, and with
the long awaited test of strength so
near at hand, the delegates and crowd
apparently could see no reason to de
vote any more time to speechmaking.
Some of them tried to discourage the
speaker, but he went on with his
speech. The nomination was seconded
by John Marshall, of Parkersburg,
W. Va.
Wisconsin, Wyoming, Alaska, Dis
trict of Columbia, Hawaii, Philippines
and Porto Rico all passed, and that
ended the call for nominations.

and Nthe demonstration was just a haif

Led to the front of the platform by
his little boy, Congre Schall was
greeted by new outburst of applause.
he began his speech with an energy
which kept the johnson sympathizers
cheering almost continuously.
senator johnson, the speaker said,
was the kind of candidate "to make

Ten Commandments and to forget. if
you please, the fourteen points" When
Senator Lodge announced that Mr..

cries of "Go on; go oni" but when
the chairman asked if it wanted to
suspend its rules and let the speaker
proceed some of the delegates said

Richard Doherty, of Jersey City, also
seconded Senator Johnson's nomina-
tion, and said New Jersey and the East

with "a Judicious and untrammeled

Doherty concluded, and the delegates
began to show plainly that they were

That was all of the johnson speech-
making and the call of the states was
resumed. Colorado had no candidate.
Connecticut yielded to Massachusetts
and Speaker Gillett placed Governor
Coolidge in nomination.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-12

Ing candidates over, however, the mass
OF the convention became more and
more restless. Many of the delegates
were chewing on sandwiches and drink
ing half of 1 per cent beverages,
and they kept up continuously a hum
of talk.
The heat in the convention hall con-
tributed to the restlessness. The first
delegate to collapse from prostration
was Alexander Dunnett, of Middlebury,
Vt. He was taken to a hospital.
Some of those in the press box and
directly at the front of the speakers

the heat when Mr.. Butler, in the course
