NEW YORK, Jan. 27. 1921,

Very little to say about new tobacco.
AS to old stock the Tobacco Leaf says:
The past ten days have brought de-
cided strengthing in the tone of the
Water Street cigar leaf market, inter-
preted by some leaf merchants as the
beginning of the end of the long leth-
argy which has characterized the mar
ket for the past several months. While
the present activity is of restricted pro
portions. the quantities purchased being
rather obviously confined to current
needs only, buyers are numerous, and
their demands extend to practically
every type. That anything approach
ing a general buying movement will
develop in the near future is considered
highly improbable, but the majority of
leaf merchants do hold quite generally
to the belief that gradually increas-
ing demand for all types of good old
leaf will probably be manifested from
this time forward. Small purchases,
at frequent intervals, it is thought will
be the rule for several months to come.
With the assurance, that manufacture
ers have, that leaf prices will certainly
go no higher.

A few crops Of the 1920 have been
bought during the past week in the
southern sections of the state. Some
of these have been bought for the bind
er end found in them, and the price has
followed the percentage represented in
the crop, from 15 to 25 cents. Other
crops, representing the stemming quail
ity, have sold below Is cents. The
firms handling this type of leaf have
not shown any tendency to invade the
field for the goods, but they take crop
now and then off the hands of growers
VINO are so situated that they must dis
pose of their holdings, even at sacri-
flee. Tobacco at and 10 cents grown
in 1920 with the cost of production pre-
vaihng then brings the grower loss.
Still the farmers cooperative ware
houses are not rushing into the assort-
ing game; the growers are sitting back
and playing the waiting game. The
Farmers warehouse in Edgerton may
not start work until the first of March,
though it has goodly number of acres
promised for handling. The Rock
county tobacco growers at their meet
ing in GAINESVILLE last week report an
initial acreage in the pool of 1900 acres.
Their plan is to pack in their own
warehouse, and to run crews in several
warehouses. This is the largest under
taking so far on the part of growers to
pack 1920 leaf reported. Dane and
Rock county have in the neighborhood
of Is, 900 acres which must be handled
either on the farm or by the co-opera-
tive method. unless buying movement
should develop before the end of the
month "a fortune that, as yet, has
more the sign of wish than proba-
bility. Some farmers may arrange
with individual packing firms who are
now operating for themselves to run
their crops over the tables. In the
northern section the cleaners for bind
ers are about through. Very little to-
bacco is now left in first hands, except
hail-cut and shorts. The binder end of
crops up there has continued to bring
good price.

LANCASTER, PA, Jan. 26, 1921
Lately considerable number of crops
have been purchased in Lancaster
county, most of them at 20 cents for
wrapper quality and 5 to cents for
filters. These crops were bought by a
dozen dealers, the heaviest buyers be-
ing Long & Taylor of Landisville and
Lancaster. But the aggregate of sales
so far made is away below 1000 acres,
and there is no general buying. The
Eisenlohrs, who started the ball rolling
in 1919, and have been expected to
start things going for the 1920, have
bought few holdings, but only a
choice lot here and there. The big COM
Germs are holding back and give no in
dication of wantidg any of the county's
new crop in hurry. It is well under
stood that so far only top notch tobac-
co has been bought, poor stuff receiv-
ing no attention, is reported by the
Leaf.

A number of tobacco growers in Suf-

the growing season for prices ranging
from 40 to 46 cents in the bundle. are
experiencing some trouble in getting

A = THE Democrats had lost power
N under bachelor president, James

A WOMAN'S TOWN
Y. w. c. A. of New York Undertakes
To Build a Town For Women

There have been towns in the West
where women have organized a politi-
cal party and voted the men out of Of
fee. But as the vote of the sexes is
very nearly equally divided. and the
Australian ballot prevails. it is
problematical how long the town will
remain in female hands.
The Y. NJ c. A. of New York city
has undertaken to build a woman's
town which shall continue so. because
title to the real estate will be held by
corporation controlled by women.
Plans for the town are drawn-and
very fetching plans they are, too The
necessary funds are in sight and the
managers of the enterprise are now
trying to make up their minds as to
which of two very desirable sites they
will select. The enterprise is to be
cooperative. like the great apartment
houses which have recently been built
not by landlords. but by tenants. But
as this enterprise is to be in the coun-
try it is not to be a community of
cliffdwellers. but of bungalows, some
with three rooms, some with six. 1t
is designed. of course for those whose
salaries are large enough. but there is
an enormous number of women whose
positions are well able to buy into
the corporation
Men are not actually barred. but the
only way man can become a resident
is by marrying into the town. The
Y. w. c. A. is not attempting to
create a monastic community. al
though it is to be inferred that if a
husband becomes undesirable. he can
pack his dress-suit case and find a
boarding house elsewhere
This new enterprise will do it's part
toward solving the housing shortage,
but it will do more than that. 1t is a
step toward economic freedom for a
sex which has been more or less in
bondage since the world began.

PHYSICIANS MUST
REGISTER BIRTHS
State Board of Health Now Is
Prosecuting Paducah Negro
Doctor for Failure to
Report.

Louisville, March 26 Physicians
are made responsible for the report
ing of births at which they assist by
the Vital Statistics bill of 1915, and
the State Board of Health intends,
under the provision of the law which
provided for the punishment of doc
tors who willfulfy or through negli-
gence shirk their responsibility in the
matter, to prosecute all physicians
who fail to make the reports called for
by law
This announcement was made here
by ]. +. Blackerby, State Registrar of
Vital Statistics, who has just return
ed from Paducah, where he went when
his attention was called to the fact
that negro physicians there were not
making the reports contemplated by
law with the regularity called for.
While in Paducah he swore our four
warrants against S. H. Joyce, a negro
physician, each charging him with
failure to report a birth, and Mr..
Blackerby states that similar remiss-
ness anywhere in Kentucky, either
among white or negro physicians, will
receive precisely the same treatment
at his hands.
The law provides that each failure
to report birth is punishable by a
fine of from SIS to $50.

Big MOVE FOR Bet

Three Great Sales of Pure
BREEDS to Be Held in Bourbon
Stockyards for Breeding
Purposes.

Backed by Kentucky College of
Agriculture and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, The Ken
lucky Pure Bred Livestock Associa-
ton and The Louisville Livestock
Exchange have entered on the most
comprehensive campaign ever under
taken in this state to promote the
breeding of better and more livestock.
To further the movement the Associa-
ton and the Exchange at large ex-
pense have planned the widest possible
publicity.
Three great sales of pure bred and
grade animals have been planned to
be held at the Bourbon Stock Yards.
Neither the Association nor the Ex-
change will derive one cent of profit
from these sales. The animals will be
sold at auction to the farmers and it
is expected that the range of prices
so fixed will permit of the selection
of these animals by those interested
at a cost we'll within the means of
those in the most moderate circum-
stances.

scrub cattle from such groups as may
pool their cattle to replace them with

Two hundred pure bred ewes and
rams and 2.OOOgrade sheep will be
sold under the same conditions Aug

FORD AND THE POLICE.

The police departments OF three
large cities have ruled against the
sale of Henry Ford's Dearborn In
dependent and have already made sew
eral arrests for violation OF laws
which. they contend, give them this
right of suppression Editor & Pub
fisher is in no way Interested in the
controversy between the Independent
and the Jewish people, that has re-
suited in this police action. 1t is, how
ever, interested deeply in the fundam-
entail principle involved.
Police supervision over the distri-
button of any publication or right of
the police to suppress any publication
for any cause is contrary to every
principle and ideal on which the right
OF free press rests.
If this theory of a police czardom
is to prevail then we may well ex-
pect the suppression of newspapers
that attack the police force of city
as a group. and finally, the suppress
sion of Democratic party organs in
Republican controlled cities and Re-
publican party organs in Democratic
controlled cities during the heat OF
political campaigns.
The principle upon which Ameri-
can law is founded does not recognize
classes or groups. religious or racial,
and police action contrary to that
well-laid principle is un-American and
violates the rights of the individual
and the greater group that comprises
the entire citizenship of the nation.
Henry Ford is responsible for. any
statements made in the Independent
and the laws of the nation provide
redress through the courts for any
man or group of men that he wrongs.
