Build Houses
For Paris Poor

PARIS, Sept. 10. - (By Interna-
tional News Service) Anxious to
avoid suffering among the poor in
Paris this winter, the French minis
ter of Hygiene, M. ]. L. Breton, is
driving forward plans for the erection
of provisional houses. The scheme
which he has been able to set moving
is unfortunately not on large scale.
1t will allow for the building of only
about 1000 houses.
The main difficulty is, of course,
the cost of material. M. Breton has
only been able to get 25,000,000f.
to work with. Half Of this will be
found by the state. The other half
will be provided by the department
Of the Seine. Purchase of land will
run away with a large share. If nee
esary land will be. appropriated.
The houses will probably be built
at the farthest possible point from the
center of the city, that will not be so
far as to be mconvenient. They viii
be reserved, as far as possible for
large families.
Numerous conferences have oeen
held, so far witaCut result, - decade

twice as fast as the average fighter
could step forward.
A certain English newspaper con-
sidered quite Flow brow" declares
that the English boxers are too lady
like for the American and French
bruisers. The trouble lies, this pa
per urges, in the English system of
scoring on points, and not on the
damage done, unles there is knock
out. As soon as this is changed there
will be new generation Of English
men in the squared circle, who will
fight and not box.
This statement is substantiated by
number Of international bouts held
during this past year, in which En-
glish scrappers have been walloped
into dreamland.
Joe Beckett says that he was just
feeling Georges Carpenter out whe
the Frenchman hit him. Maybe so,
but Georges didn't try to score a
point. He just hit--Pll say he did.
Johnny Basham, the British well
terweight champion, is a clever lea
Their pusher, but he did not stand a
chance with Kid Lewis with his ex-
perierce in the American ring. Lewis
probably lost on points in the major
ity of rounds, but he damaged John
ny SO badly that his seconds had to
throw the wei in to sac their man
from being cut to ribbons. Basham
has plenty of stamina, also, but he
hasn't kayo wallop in his makeup.
Charles Ledoux, the French ban
tamweight champion, made short
work of Jimmy Higgins, the British
champ, yet Joe Lynch beat the
Frenchman in America.
Arthur Wyns, the Belgian feather
weight champion, made such mess
of Mike Honeyman the British champ
that they had to stop the contest to
save the use of a putty knife and blot
ter for removing the Englishmaf
from the ring. Wyns never bothered
about boxing, but went after his man
in good old one-round style that was
surprising, coming as it did from
bruiser from Belgium.

LYNDON, Sept 8. 49, 1T is time our
young boxers developed an appreci-
alton Of the power Of the punch.
"For many years 1t has been Cos
pei in British boxing circles that it is
cleverness which wins. In measure
that il true, but there remains the
fact that one punch that is hard
enough and delivered in the right
place will by it's effectiveness more
than counterbalance all the scienti-
fic scoring of points which night have
been accomplished by the receiver of
that big hit in the preceding
rounds"
Thus writes "Corinthian," we'll
known English sporting writer in the
Daily Chronicle.
The same sentiment is being echo
ed by other sporting writers in Lon
don newspapers. Zen the good old
conservative, straight laced papers
which are read by commuters in first
elias railroad compartments on their
way to London have taken this sub
ject.
Their style in dealing with boxing
is somewhat heavy, but it suits the
mentality of the upper crust of En-
glish society, who take the manly art
of self-defense quite seriously. The
general opinion CLEANED from the
London newspapers is that the En-
glish are waking up to the fact that
in developing their scientific and clev-
err scrappers they have overlooked
the fact that an English pug has to
pack haymaker to get away with
any of the titles which are held by
Americans.
Freddy Walsh is an example of
this school Of British boxers. 1t is to
be remembered that Freddy could

The labor problem continues to inter-
fere with the plans of packers and
growers of tobacco. The growers are
making ready for their seed beds, how
ever, with the idea that the acreage is
not to be less than last year, because
they confidently believe that, prices are
going to stay where they are. Still,
the labor question bothers, and the
acreage will depend on how men can
be had to do the work. Some growers
reduced their acreage in 1919. Now
they are kicking themselves since the
price stood up so well. Old Pennsyl-
vania tobacco does not go abegging in
the market. The report has been out
several times that there is no old leaf
left, but ever so often announcement
of sales of old stocks pops up. Very
recently packing of 743 cases of old
leaf was bought by Allen R. Cress-
mems Sons. For some reasons not
we'll understood the holders of old leaf
are very quiet about it. On account of
unfavorable weather conditions the new
crop is being delivered unusually late.
Some estimate that there is still left to
be delivered 25 per cent of the 1919.

NEW i OASA, AVA GA III 6Ts A06t'
Water Streets attention has been
focused very acutely during the past
few weeks upon the unprecedented
buying movement in Porto Rico, which
reached it's climax last week, says the
Tobacco Leaf. The activity in the
Porto Rican field involves practically
the whole of the years planting, and it
passed into the hands of the dealers in
what amounted to a whirlwind cam
paign. A large number of buyers was
in the field, but it seems as if the bulk
of the crop was landed by few of the
large manufacturers and packers. The
price ranged from 55 to IS cents per
pound. The .eagerness with which the
trade went after the goods is indicated
by the fact that in several instances
the buying was done over the phone.
Some Porto Rico of this year will, of
course, be available in the open mar
ket, but how much is not easy to say
at this time. The buying which is
characterized by the Tobacco Leaf as
RECKLESS" received its impetus from
the demand of the customers for the
crop, and the manufacturers threw
caution to the winds and waded in to
secure what they knew the trade
wanted. The Havana tobacco outlook
is good. The crop promises large
proportion of sound leaf; but the pros
poets are pretty good for another
bound upward in prices of the new
crop.

The tobacco growers of Connecticut
met at Broad Brook recently to talk
over matters relating to their industry.
Sidney B. Haskell of Baltimore, mana
ger of the national soil and improve
ment committee, was one of the prin-
cipal speakers. He emphasized some
of the dangers to be scrutinized in or
der to be avoided. Among these he
mentioned the increasing popularity Of
the cigarette as compared with that of
the cigar as one of the real dangers to
the wrapper leaf industry. The in
crease in acreage Of wrapper cigar leaf
in the Connecticut valley has now put
the total at $4,000 acres. Says MIR.
HASKELL: "Now if the smokers of the
country are turning to cigarette tobac-
co, where will there be found market
for this enormously increased acreage?
These figures show one phase of your
problem. Your New England Tobacco
Growers association has already ap-
preciated the seriousness of the prob
lem The attempt which it is making
to pOpularize the use of New England
tobacco and to maintain the supremacy
of New England grown wrappers is
worthy of all support. There are, how
ever, other conditions, and the chief of
these are soil conditions so that the
wrapper leaf may continue to be raised
to the limit of the available market.
The time has come when New England
tobacco growers can no longer depend
on the supply of animal manures for
growing their crops. The supply is in
sufficient. Never more will there be
enough of this farm by-product. The
tendency lis toward less manure rather
than toward more. ("

Almost within sight of the close of
the warehouse season, Kentucky Bur-
ley tobacco railroaded from the depres-
sion that has been apparent for nearly
a month and the averages of sales even
on poor and medium offerings and with
out the high tops on crops of the bet
ter quality, was considerably improved.
says the u. S Tobacco Journal. and it
continues: Reports are to the effect
that the stiffening price of cigar leaf
in the Miami Valley district continues
but is not sensational. Some sales of
especially good Spanish and Dutch leaf
were made at 21 cents during the past
week, and even medium grades sold up
to 20 cents. There is feeling that the
demand now is such as to force the
price higher, but nobody is looking for
a runaway market, and the conditions,
it is generally agreed, are not going to
warrant anything like a sensational
rise.

The 1919 Wisconsin pack is on the
move. 1t is reported from various
warehouses in the state controlled by
the Rosenwald interests that they have
disposed of a portion of their 1919 pack
to the General Cigar company. Julius
Marqusee & Son have also made sales
of their packing to the General Cigar
company. The two deals are said to
involve about S, 900 cases. Represent
atives of the General Cigar company
are at present examining their pur-
chases, and as soon as the shipping
facilities permit the tobacco will be
shipped to the firms storage houses in
the state. The sale of 40Ocs packing
of 1917 held by the Fred Eckhardt con-
Germ at Viroqua to P. Lorillard Co. is
also reported on good authority. The
Jefferson Leaf Tobacco Co. at Sparta
and M. Fl. Bekkedal & Son of Westby
have been going over the northern
country for the remnant of the 1919
there. Prices have varied according to
the grade of tobacco. The figures run
from Is cents upward. The Reporter
mentioned last week that considerable
tobacco is being received on the prem
ises of the growers. In not few cases
adjustments have been necessary. In
the southern section these adjustments
have not been extensive, but some are
being made Deliveries to the ware
houses are progressing in satisfac-
tory manner, and all hands available
are busy at the asserting tables, in the
packing rooms and in the bulking bins.
Any prospect of improvement in the
labor situation is not in sight. The
warehouses are making the best of it.;
though shorthanded, the help is exper-
fenced and working under good ware
house conditions both as to pay and
quarters.

they have preempted a place on the

The tree, for one thing, keeps it's

CANADIAN WHEAT PRICES

The value to farmers of being
strongly organized is very nicely il
Illustrated by the experience of the
Canadian farmers in selling their
wheat.
In Canada, as in the United States,
the government took control of the
wheat. In Canada, however, organ
lied farmers We're given representa-
ton on the control board. The Ca
madam farmers had competent men
to represent them on this board, men
who really understood the game.
The minimum prices of wheat was
fixed for the year 1919 at $2.15, and
this was paid in cash when the farm
er delivered the wheat to the eleva-
tor. At the same time he received
his check he was given also a par
ticipation certificate, which showed
the number of bushels of wheat he
had sold at S2.15 and which indi-
Gated his right to participate in prof
its over and above this minimum
price.
The wheat Loard was able to sell
the wheat considerably above the
minimum price. Mr. Lambert, the
secretary of the Canadian Council of
Agriculture, told us recently that
these participation certificates given
to the farmers would be worth be-
tween so and 60 cents a busheI.
That is, the farmer got an original
price OF S2.15 in cash at the time
o. delivery, aid now he will be able
10 cash In his participation certifi-
cctes for an additional price of be-
tween so and 60 cents for every
tushel of wheat he sold. Mr.. Lam
bert said the certificates might be
worth even more than the figure he
indicated. That means that the
farmers of Canada will get between
ninety and one hundred million dol
lars more for their 1919 wheat crop
than the minimum price of $2.15.
The farmers of the United States
sold their wheat on the basis of
$2.26 per bushel They got no par
ticipation certificates. Whatever
profit above the minimum price was
made on the wheat grown in the
United States was made by some one
other than the producers.
This is very fine illustration of
the efficiency of real farmers or
ganization.-Idaho Weekly Market

this year will be called upon to elect
the permanent directors from their
districts. The plan is to send n
postal card to each member who has
signed the rider requesting him to
send in any nominations for direc-
tors from his district that he de-
sires to make. The names of all
candidates thus named will be print
ed on a ballot which will be sent to
each member entitled to a vote and
he will mark his choice and mail
the ballot to the organizing directors
who will count them and announce
the result.

tons will be accomplished facts.
Plans have also been formulated to
continue with renewed vigor the

THE FOURTH OF JULY

1t has always been very foolish
custom to celebrate Uncle Sam S
birthday by killing and manning his
citizens and burning up his prop
erty. Yet for many years this has
been the method adopted of observ-
ing the Fourth of July. AS a result
the newspapers of July have each
year carried a long list of accidents
and fatalities and fires resulting
from the burning of powder and the
use of fireworks.
The Fourth of July is one of the
red letter days in the history of this
nation and should be celebrated as
such, but the manner of OBSERVING
it needs improvement. The children
can make plenty of noise and have
plenty of fun without resorting to
dangerous explosives. There is no
sense ia men risking their lives by
firing off anvils or Anticipated fire
arms. Fireworks which are likely to
start conflagrations should be Ia
booed The programs planned with
the idea of bringing a crowd to town
to spend their money, and offering
no entertainment but a few races
and sports. pulled off On the hot
streets, should be relegated to the
scrap heap along with the saloons
which always advocated them.
The old fashioned way of celebrat-
ing, when communities gathered in
some shady grove, enjoyed a good
patriotic program, a picnic dinner,
and an afternoon of social pleasure
with plenty of games and sports for
the children, is coming into its own
again and the result will be that par
ents can look forward with pleasure
instead of with dread, to the Fourth
of July.
