INCREASED TOBACCO ACREAGE
There Will Be About 10 Per Cent. More
This Year Than Last.

Lexington, KY, May 5.--Acreage Of
the United States TO be devoted this
year to tobacco raising probably will
increase by about 10 per cent. over
1919, SAYS review made public by the
department of markets, University Of
Kentucky.
Kentucky will change the least in
acreage of any of the great tobacco
producing states" the review reeites,
while indications are that crop acreage
win be increased from 10 to IA per
cent. in the Carolinas and Virginia and
about 5000 per cent. in Georgia, the lat
ter increase meaning that farmers of
Georgia are taking to tobacco as a
means of utilizing areas attacked by
the boil weevil and now unsuitable for
cotton"
Concerning the world tobacco stu

formation from authoritative domestic
and foreign sources, says foreign acre
age seems to have increased very little
over 1919, but condition of the crop is
greatly improved and this indicates
there should be a considerable increase

Reciting that at this time, year

that this year about equal, if not
greater, stocks are held in the country.

A HOTEL FOR BOYS.
To Be Operated in Chicago by Boys So
Far as Feasible.

Chicago, May 6,--The stray boy who
for dinner fattens his nose against
the bakery window and who at night
sleeps with grown-up tramps in the
park or in the back alley shed, will
come upon better days if the plan OF
George W. Brown Of Chicago works
out.
A hotel for boys. to be operated so
far as feasible by boys, and fitted up
in way to attract the youngster
who finds himself in vast Chicago tenn
porarily or permanently without a
home, is the idea of Mr.. Brown, who,
for decade, has given most OF his
time to volunteer work among home
less boys. His work has brought him
in touch with Juvenile court officials
in many cities and he has enlisted
their support in his efforts to obtain
a transient hotel for boys" between
the ages of Ia and II. Joseph Tumul-
ty. the presidents secretary, a school
mate of Mr.. Brown, has lent his aid
to some of Mr.. Browns boy betterment
schemes.
"The Y. NJ. C. A. conducts in Chiea-
90 transient hotel for men, high
skvscraper, calculated to give its ten
ants clean surroundings, morally and
physically, but homeless boys under II
wears, hundreds of whom drift into
Chicago every week, may rely on the
dangerous expedient of seeking a
rooming house, or, if without funds,
may sleep behind ash barrels" Mr..
Brown said to-day. Il have housed
scores of these boys in my own home
until Jobs and recurrent pay days lift
ed them off the rocks, and know what
even few days of decent surround
ings can do for them.
"The large and properly conducted
hotel for which we are working, and
which will not be a boys home will
be equipped to do for thousands and
thousands of kids what my feeble Ell
forts have accomplished for few hun
bred"
