HARTFORD, CT, Dec. 3, 1920.
Warehouse operations in the Connec-
ticut Valley are now in full swing for
the asserting, sizing and packing sea-
son, and many of them will be running
with large forces well into spring.
Some of the large producers of Shade
will be able to offer their customers
some of the first primings within ten
days. A large quantity of this variety
is now in the sweat.
1t is known that the new Shade will
bring big price, probably over the S.
mark. The crop is excellent, having a
fine texture and excellent burn. The
market, as far as buying from the
grower is concerned, is dull. There
have been no sales of special moment
during the past few weeks 1t is es-
'timated that about two-thirds of Con-
necticut's production has either left
first hands or will do so in short time.
This means that about one-third Of the
production is still held by the grower,
who 10 holding ont for big prices.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 9, 1920
1t has been learned authentically this
week that one of the biggest packing
concerns in the local field, through its
representative, bought 800 cases of the
Lancaster county 1920 crop. The prices
paid the various growers concerned
ranged around 20 cents. Other buyers
were in the field in large numbers in
specting the crop, feeling out the farm
ers and locating the choice crops 81
that they may buy in hurry when the
rush begins. The tobacco bought was
taken up on a special order. It is re-
garded here as altogether likely that
the big buying rush will begin right
after Christmas. Journal

THE UNEMPLOYED

The sudden change from high
wages and more jobs than men 10 IN
employment and wage reduction Is
not reflected in the news from new
York which tells us that the city's
attempt to get 5000 snow shovelers
at $500 a day was unsuccessful.
II cannot be that men do not need
work; it is possible that the Injuries
of wartime have weaned them away
from mere physical toll with PICK
and shovel? t.
Economists will always remember
the war as the war of the SILK shlrt
because the sudden aff1uence OF men
who earned small wages just before
it began had it's expression IN the
purchase of expensive clothing. Fer
haps the too rapid advance OF men
from common labor to white shirt
Jobs has served to ruin the labor
market. Perhaps there are men VINO
would rather starve a while than go
back to the $500 a day Of pick and
shovel aat;
The cost of living is falling to q
point where IS becomes once more
livable wage. The standard OF living
is just about the same as 1t was In
pre-war days. Our stomachs Will
still digest the. old foods and our
bodies stay warm in the old kind OF
clothes. It is only the standard OF
luxury that has changed, bringing
silk shirts, expensive music boxes
and high powered automobiles to the
people who can, II they will, be just
as happy with the cotton shirt, the
inexpensive phonograph and the
flivver. !. R- -
Perhaps the time has come when .
wave Of simpler living will restore US
to the solid foundation from which
the tidal wave OF extravaganza flung
us. Then we will take the jobs we
find, II they are only shoveling snow
and manage not only to live, but to
live happily until brighter days, soon
to come, make possible an upward
climb. For it Is better to strive for
advancement in any walk Of life than
to have advancement thrust upon
