WEEKLY PRODUCE REVIEW

Butter prices in the Eastern con-
suming markets worked higher due to
the fact that imports fell below ex-
pectations. Considerable butter was
kept out of the. market by delayed
shipments, heavy storms slowing
down transportation. Production is
showing a gradual increase, but not
enough to affect the present market,
which is steady.
The higher markets for eggs are
due to the fact that storage eggs are
just about used up and trade is now
working on fresh stock, which has
not been quite heavy enough to take
care of the demand. As production
increases, however, prices will grad
ually work to lower basis.
Movement of live poultry continues
light. There is no material change in
the general market for dressed poul-
try. Stocks of frozen poultry, accord
ing to government report, are 81 per
cent. lighter than a year ago, which
ought to hold the poultry market
steady to firm.

INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK

At meeting of the directors of the
H. H. Pieper Co., held in Winchester,
it was decided to increase the capital

to 100000, to take care of the three
new stores being opened by the COM
pany at Winchester, Lexington and
Hazard. A limited amount of the
stock will be offered for sale at $50
per share until Saturday, February
2Sth, at which time the price will be
advanced to $75. This company al
ready has a store in Cynthiana in adj
dition to the one in this city, both of
which are doing thriving business.
Stock in this company is now paying
s per cent, and prospects for the fu-
ture are said to be very bright.

DIsCovERER OF NORTH POLE
IS AENEMIA VICTIM

Rear Admiral Robert Peary, the
discoverer Of the North Pole, died at
his home in Washington Friday after
an illness of several weeks Of PERM
cious Aenemia.
Peary had been suffering nearly
two years. A few weeks ago he un-
derwent an operation for blood
TRANSMISSION, but it failed to relieve
him. He was born in Cresson, Penn,
on May sixth, 1856. He started an
Arctic expedition in 1886, but it was
not until April, 1899 that he carried
the American flag to the North Pole.
He had recently devoted his time
to aviation and was largely respon-
sible for Americas aviation strength
in the war. Peary was given thanks
of Congress by special act and was
made Admiral and showered with
honors from every government in the
world for North Pole discovery.

10 Now Enrolled
In American Legion


AT the meeting Of che Pangburn
Post Friday night, in the County
Court room, Commander Hodge K.
Morris presided and several import
ant matters were brought before the
members for consideration. The ex-
ecutive committee reported list OF
new members, which now makes a
total of ITO men enrolled in the Post.
Plans for permanent club rooms were
discussed, it being agreed that the
Montgomery County Legionnaires
should have a place large enough for
their regular sessions and for daily
recreation privileges.
Club rooms, and even club houses,
are being provided the ex-service men
by the citizens of other towns and
counties. The Advocate urges that
the people Of this community help
make such provision for our own
boys who left their homes and bus
inesses to wear the khaki and the
navy blue. It is just debt of graft
tude that we owe them. Nothing was
too good for the boys in time of war,
and the same principle applies now,
in time Of peace.
American Legion headquarters des-
ignated Sunday, the 22nd, as SPECIAL
memorial day for the soldiers, sailors
and marines who died during the
great war. At the request of the
Pangburn Post, local ministers read
the roster of Montgomery County's
dead from their pulpits Sunday morn
ing and appropriately eulogized those
who made the supreme sacrifice. La
ter union memorial services will be
held by the Post for their fallen COM
rades, and certificates of honor, is
sued by the French government, will
be presented to the nearest of kin.
The next meeting Of the Pangburn
Post is called for Friday night, Feb
ruary 9th, at the County Court room
All who are eligible for membership
in the American Legion and have not
vet Joined, are requested to come on
that date and put in their apphca-
ton.

Tobacco Market
To Close Friday
All Three Houses Will Hold Their
Last Sales Friday of
This Week

The tobacco market will come to q
close in this city Friday at oil three
of the local houses. The local mar
ket has been handicapped this sea-
son by a very inferior crop, grown in
this section, mostly due to the drouth
of the past summer. Averages here
have not been as high as on some
of the other markets of the State,
and the number Of pounds sold over
the local floors has not been as large
as in previous years. The season
started off well here, but after the
holidays prices took tumble, and the
buyers have been slow to take hold
ever since. 1t is hoped the local mar
ket will be boosted in every way pos
sible before the opening of another
season, so that next year may see
Mt. Sterling one of the strongest
loose leaf markets in the State. The
local market is big thing for Mt
Sterling and its business interest and
the Advocate will gladly cooperate
with the three local houses in doing
everything within reason to make the
season Of 1920-21 the best this Sec
ton has ever seen. LET'S ALL GET
TOGETHER.
