bers of that Commandery to make this
the greatest annual meeting of the
Grand Commandery in the history of
the state. 1t was thought at first that
not all of the Communicates in Ken
tucky would be represented at the
Grand Conclave, but reports received
by the various committees of Webb
Commandery at the close of the week
indicated that every Knights Templar
organization in the state will be repre-
sented, and in many instances the
communicates VIII attend in body.

for the Grand Conclave. which closes

BAND CONCERT AT OPERA
HOUSE next SUNDAY
Manager Russell Has Arranged Mu-
slcal Treat For Our Citizens to
Show Progress of Boys.

For some time there has been a
large number of queries as to why
Manager Russell does not allow the
Boys Band to resume its Sunday after
noon concerts at Beechwood Park,
now that pretty weather is here.
To these questions the genial Man
ager replied that he thought 1t most
too cool to assemble at the park for
concerts, and to meet the popular de-
mand for concerts on Sunday after
moons he will give one on next Sunday
at the Opera House.
1t will be the winding up of year $
work for the boys and Manager Rus
sell asks that all who can attend this
musical treat in order that the pro-
gress of the band can be seen.
There is no charge for admission
and anyone can go and hear the music

COST or PRODUC-
ING BURLEY TOBACCO
IS PLACED AT 26C
Twenty.Slx Cents Pound Average,
Extension Experiment Station At
Lexington Reports.

Twenty-six cents a pound was the
average production cost of tobacco
grown in the Burley tobacco belt of
Kentucky, the report of Investigations
conducted by the College Of Agricul-
ture and U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture in the cost of producing tobacco
in Kentucky, made public Saturday,
shows.
A fixed price for farm products
based on an average cost of production
would be too low and inadequate to
maintain the necessary production, re-
sulting in a decreased supply, and the
cost of production varies on every
farm on which tobacco is grown the
report emphasizes. 1t also shows the
relationship between tobacco and
other farm crops and the production
of live stock.
The Investigations upon which the
report is based we're begun last march
under the supervision of w. d. Mich
oils of the University of Kentucky,
and F. w. Peck, of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. The report is the
first of its kind ever made.
The figures and facts presented in
the report were obtained by investiga-
tions into the cost Of production on 81
typical farms in Fayette, Jesamine,
Woodford and Scott counties, of the
hurley" district, and 3S farms in
Christian county, of the dark tobacco
belt"
Fifty-three of the farms in the Bur
ley district were typical of the best to-
bacco land in the Blue Grass region,
the premier tobacco producing district
of the world, and the other 2S farms
we're located in the hilly region within
a few miles of Sadieville, Scott coun-
ty, and are typical of the thinner
rougher farm lands on the border OF
the central Glue Grass region.
On the 81 farms in the Burley belt
the average production cost an acre
was $29603 and the average yield an
acre 1,141.3 pounds. The average pro-
duction cost pound was 26 cents
Production costs were higher on the
SO farms in Fayette, Jessamine and
Woodford district than on the 2S Scott
county farms in which the investiga-
ton was conducted.
On only one of the typical farms OF
the Fayette-JessamineWoodford dis
trict was the production less than SOC
pounds an acre; in the Scott count
district there were six farms with I

YALE FRATERNITY.

Yale Univerhty's biennial directory containing 27,0Oo names has just been issued. Law continues to attract tho greatest number of graduates, man. ufacturing comes second. finance third. educational pursuits fourth and engineering fifth.
 There Is something quite wonder. fui and fascinating about one of these diroctories-or about the directory of any of the other great universities. The 27.ooo living men named in the Yale directory are bound together by certain ties that never can be broken.
 It Is nonsense to say that Yale man meeting another Yale man siaps him on the shoulder and calls him "eollege chum." There is no such familiarity; no taking advantage of the fact that both happened to attend the sumo university. The very tradi- ions of the place arc against that sort of thing. and were a man by tempera- mont inclined to familiarity he would
New Britain herald., 1920-10-29

desist from its expression because of those very traditions.
 Nevertheless there is a tie that binds two men together who have spent four years beneath the elms of Yale. It is tie that is not superficial. Each knows that the other has been through the same process of learning habits and the same processes of thought as has he himself. Although individu uality of opinion is not lost, and many may differ from the beliefs concerning life that are absorbed in New Haven all graduates know of and respect them and respect the men who have con- tinued to live according to the better things for which the institution stands
 A University tie is one to cherish. Friends are formed and are later found all over the world. There is a common meeting ground and a man should be proud to be able to stand upon it.

"JEST RUsiINsTIN.'"
 CRobert Russell.)

There's people grumbled OCT the rain that came on yester- day; there's folks that kick whene'er they get a little raise in .pay-they say 1t isn't big enough: there's folks that hates the sun bechuse it makes them sweat bit when they're com pelled to run. There's chaps that want high prices so that they can profitcer-o' course we hasten to remark there's no such persons here. In short some people want the earth: they want to choose the hedge that's planted all around it so they won't roll off the edge. But think O. this past Fall we've had: twill take a lot O rain to even up the weather scales O bad an good again. An so in life; the evil things are emphasized a lot. while we forget quite often all the bless in's that we've got. There ain't no use denyin' that the Twin game is tough. but meetin' it an bravin' 1t brings worries quite enough.

July has witnessed no resumption
or active buying, either in retail or
in wholesale markets. The atmos-
phere is still one OF hesitation and
caution. Merchants are not inclined

Some localities report better retail
trade. Generally cancellations are
fewer in number and there is some
reordering of goods. Collections are

Midsummer Dizziness.
Midsummer is always a dull pc
Rod. il must be remembered Many
stores are engaged in taking stock.
Vacations reduce normal buying and
deplete working forces. That vast
quantities of goods will find a ready
outlet in the months and years inn
mediately succeeding is suggested
by the large amount Of new financ-
ing undertaken with a view to in
creasing the production Of many
staples and luXuries. Readjustment
will proceed. The fall should bring
at least a moderate revival of buy
ing and the fall and winter a grad

vailed since America entered the

STOCKS

The general credit situation has
improved very little and tight money
retains its hold upon the market,
as recent events have demonstrated.
The market clearly reflects the gen.
eral lul in business. Industry is
watching the stock list carefully for
a suggestion of what the next six
months Will bring. The market has
the well-known faculty Of discount
ing conditions well in advance, and
II at all times an acutely sensitive
barometer. Broadly speaking, stocks
are apt to sell higher rather than
lower. barring occasional sharp
breaks. Whether the traditional
August rise will eventuate is a ques-
ton. Undoubtedly stocks will here
after sell less at speculative values
and more on "A basis of their actual
investment values.
