BIG CROP REPORT.
This Years Yield Larger and Of Bet
ter Quality Than 1919.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Reports from
the tobacco growing districts of the
country indicate the 1920 crop will
be large and of better quality than
the 1919 yield. Movement of Georgia
tobacco will be at it's height within
the next three weeks.
The Georgia acreage will be, small
Ter, but the forecasts indicate a larg-
er crop. Growers expect better prices
this year. Bunyers and warehouse
men are pleased with the quality of
the crop.
The Connecticut tobacco crop has
grown we'll during the last few sun
ny days, and much Of the weed has
attained weight and color. If the
good weather continues without
heavy rains this years crop will be
the best In the history of the state.
Connecticut growers state the Ia
Dor and fertilizer costs for the 1920
crop have been 100 per cent greater
than the expense of the 1919 crop. 1t
is reported in some cases offers of
ninety cents pound assorted have
been made for the new crop by buy
ers and have been refused by the
farmers, who claim. that they must
get $1.25 a pound if they are to make
any profit.
The tobacco crop at Baldwins-
vile. the biggest tobacco raising CEN
ter in New York, is in good condi-
tion. The indications are that the
yield will be laSge.
Kentucky growers are considering
material reducation Of the Burley
tobacco crop. A, mass meeting Of
growers from forty counties will be
held at Lexington to discuss advisa-
bility Of curtailing production and
planting a larger acreage of corn,
wheat and other foodstuffs. The action
is due to reduced prices for tobacco
last season and uncertain market
prospects this year.

Chicago, Aug. 13.TThe ''human
link which officials say connects the
radical movement OF Eufope with the
United States was believed discover
ed here yesterday with the arrest Of
Herman L. Hoffman in a raid at
1905 Sedgwick street.
Hoffman confessed he was the se-
cret messenger of international rad
icalism.
He said his work was the snug
Cling into this country from red
headquarters in Hamburg and AM
sterdam of money and material for
soviet propaganda here.
Hoffman said he was the chief
agent of John Alexander, head prop
agandist of the I. w. w, and with
the arrest of the latter recently is
now one of the most important heads
of the reds in this country.
He said millions in diamonds and
platinum, which soviet officials took
from the Russian burgeoisie, were
being smuggled into Hamburg for
marketing. The cash proceeds were
devoted to worldwide I. w. w.
Will ASs1O4tidItcTS III Amsterdam,
Hamburg and New York, he said.
Having recently returned from Eu-
rope, he said, he had met Charles
Frania, former chief secretary of the
Chicago communist forces, in AM
sterdam, where the latter now is
chief of the West European secre-
tariat.
Frania fled from Chicago at the
time Of States Attorney Hoyne's s
raids on radicals here. There, he
said, he saw one soviet smuggler
from Russia reach Hamburg with
$1,000,000 in loot.
Among Hoffman's effects was
found letter he had written the
European radical headquarters warn
Ing the leaders Of the discovery by
the United States government off,
cials Of the secret code of the reds.
This code was cohfiscated week
ago in Chicago.
The prisoner is being held pending
further investigation, which prob
ably will result in more arrests.

FELL IN SPRINGFIELD SEWER.
Snow Shoveler Swept 1000 Feet Under

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Feb. l2.-After
,eing swept along 1000 feet yesterday
" the turbulent waters in a big trunk
,ewer, John Labonte, a street depart
nent laborer, was rescued, apparently
hone the worse for his exciting expert
ence.
Labonte was one of large gang of
men removing snow at Mill and Locust
streets. While standing over manhole
he lost his balance, fell in and was swept
by the rush of water nearly to. South
lain street The sewer deposits its
contents into the Connecticut river a
'hort distance away.
Riding along on the rushing waters
Labonte saw ahead of him an iron lad
Ter leading to a manhole opening from
the bottom of the sewer. He graspet
it and climbed the ladder to the manholt
cover He attempted to wrench the
cover off, but was unable to accomplish
the feat because of the weight of snow
and ice on top.
Being a good swimmer, Labonte made
his way back to the point where he fel
| into the sewer. Workmen above grounC
heard his frantic yells and rescued him
| His co-workers had searched for hin
but had given up all hope, believing h
had been carried into the Connection
river.

MAYTIME PROVES
EXCELLENT SHOW
Shubert Production Gives Evening of
Much Enjoyment to Large AL
dience-Competent Company.

The Shubert production of Maytime
which was given in the. Auditorium
last evening before an audience which
comfortably filed the theatre, proved
to be one of the most enjoyable thea
trical entertainments that this-to
has ever had the privilege of witness
ing Advertised as ga play with
music, it is true to it's name, pre-
senting connected story that starts
in New York in the period of 1910 and
lis brought down, to the present day in
four acts.
The requirements of such produc-
ton are more than usual not only in
the matter of scenery and costumes
but also as to cast, music, etc. In none
of these requirements was the perform
ance of last evening lacking. The com
pany was a large and uniformly com
petent one with musicians of its own
to augment the local orchestra, and
the stage settings and costumes were
beautiful as well as historically accur.
ate The musical numbers for which
Maytime has become famous, such a:
| VIII You Remember, Jump Jim Grow
and The Road to Paradise, were tune
fully rendered, and the whole effec
| was unusually satisfactory.
| Among those whose work was par
ticularly noticeable were Otis Sheri
dan as Matthew Van Zandt, Miss Yr;
Jeanne as Ottillie Van Zandt and jaime
R. Marshall as Richard WAYNE.

ATLANTA, Ga. Feb. 12.-Southern
states will begin the greatest road
building enterprises in their history
this spring. Projects involving the ex
penditure of many millions of dollars
the completion during 1920 of thous-
ands of miles of new surfaced high
ways-all of them elements of we'll
conceived road systems-will be started
New bond issues for road building, COW
ering the needs of several states fo'
years to come, will also be asked t.
provide funds for county and state
work, which will be augmented by ap
preparations from the United State:
government.
Georgia's state highway board, es
tablished last summer, has under way
l22 projects, representing $9,9Ss,249,
81, says the state engineer, w. R. Neel
Some SO projects are now under actua'
construction, representing an expendi
ture of $4, $50, 656.65. The proposed sys.
TEN in Georgia includes 1900 miles OF
hard. surfaced roads, for which DR.. c
NJ. Strahan, chairman of the state
highway board estimates that Z,
100000 will be available during tht
! next IS months. Federal aid of 81,
100000, added to county funds, makes
about $15,00O,000 available for the
| future.
Louisiana expects to spend in 1921
not less than $l1,000,000 on project
under supervision of the state govern

of which 547 are completed and 81
now under construction.
/ w w. Howse, chairman of the stat

that approximately 100000 will b
spent in that state this year, of whic
! 100000 represents federal aid, an
$1,500,000 state funds, the remainde
being county funds.
l Counties in South Carolina are a,
lively engaged on plans for working G
roads in the state highway system tn
year The state system comprises 81
miles. Of this, 472 miles have alreaC
been completed by the counties wit

have been constructed, or are under co
struction, with federal and coun
