Commenting on the market situation
the y. S. Tobacco Journal gives the
following summary: Despite sporadic
instances of activity in the leaf mar
ket, affecting specific grades and types
of tobacco, Water street and other to-
bacco centers report business very
quiet. The transactions that take
place consist for the most part of small
purchases by manufacturers to supply
immediate needs in the way of sup
planting stocks. In addition to those
one large transaction in Broadleaf, in
volving upwards of 1900 cases, and a
few good sized transactions in Wiscon-
sin binders are reported. But October
is ordinarily the busiest season of the
year with leaf tobacco packers, and
the state of trade as now developed af-
fords contrast rather than comparison
with former years. The cigar manu-
facturers have felt slight stimulus
owing to holiday orders, and few fac
tories are working at capacity, but
most factories could handle more or
ders than they have received. The
prospects indicate steady course of
recovery that will require in all proba-
bility several months yet before busi-
ness can be good.

HARTFORD, CT, Oct. 19, 1921.
The tobacco market remains quiet in
New England, although it is reported
that buyers were in the field last week,
but no sales were reported. 1t is un-
derstood that one producer in the Sims
bury district was offered 27 cents a
pound, which he refused. While most
growers do not expect the crop to
bring the high prices of preceding
years, they do expect 2. fair return on
their investment. Connecticut ware
houies are we'll stocked with the 1920
Broadleaf, for which packers paid big
prices. The crop has to be lifted from
the packers before they think of pur-
chasing any of the new. The market
here has not been lively for some time,
but State street dealers declare that
they look for better demand within
the next fortnight. Sampling of the
1921 Broadleaf is nearly completed and
choice selections Of this variety are
now being offered to the trade.

EDGERToN. Wis. Nov 8, 1921.
Market and crop conditions in this
section are so nearly at standstill that
there is not much of Importance to re-
port. From one who has ridden through
the growing section to the north of us
it is learned that a number of growers
have been taking small portion of the
hanging crop from the shed, and the
condition usually is quite satisfactory.
Jacob Lettwitz & Co., Dayton, Ohio,
through E. M. Hubbell, received car
load from the growers here Wednesday
for shipment co their packing house at
Dayton. Otherwise very little move
ment in old goods has taken place.
From reports in the Vernon county
section the indications are that the buy
ing movement started last week on a
small scale has about dwindled out and
was confined to one or two firms. Re-
ports received of nine crops purchased
around Westby show only two prices
paid, namely 20 and &c and 18 and &c.
The same firms which started buying
in Vernon county at the same time
through another agent bought about 25
acres in Trempealeau county and the
price ranged around 20 and &c. Other
buyers are reported to have ridden
quite extensively in the northern dis
tricts but made no dip into the buying
Tobacco in Trempeleau
county is reported to be curing very
satisfactorily.

LANCASTER, PA, Oct. 20. 1921.
1t is dependably estimated that there
are 10000 acres of 1921 tobacco in the
county with an average weight of not
less than 1850 pounds of wrapper per
acre, making the total weight of the
crop twenty seven million pounds; fill
ers s-not less than 300 pounds per acre,
total weight, six million pounds.
Large interests believe, in view of
the superior quality Of the crop, that
Lancaster tobacco should bring the
grower from 16 to 18 cents per pound
for wrappers, with properly proper
tionate price for filters They seem to
be willing to- pay that, but not much
higher since the price of tobacco pro-
ducts has been cutin line with reduc-
tions in selling price of all commodi-
ties, and it is conceded the leaf must
cost the manufacturer somewhat less.

Farmer reports Governor McMaster of
South Dakoth as saying to the govern
ors at their recent meeting in Des
Moines, Iowa: Corn is now selling in
some parts of South Dakota at Is cents
a bushel. 1t costs 20 cents bushel to
ship this same corn to market. The
railroads are now obtaining in freight
rates about 65 per cent of the value of
the crop at the terminal market today,
aud the farmer is receiving 35 per cent
out of which to pay for the producing
of this crop. I came here to tell you
that unless this condition is remedied
South Dakota cannot survive.

In repeating the excess profits tax
the u. S. senators who voted for the
act showed greater courage than wis
dom, as far as their political future is
concerned. The everyday voter thought
that this was just tax, and that the
repeal of it eases the tax burdens at
the wrong end of the line.

As piece of sarcasm they invit-

And he accepted.
From the stand he watched the
marchers bearing banners decrying
him. One company, in passing,
called out: Two its Teddy?"
"Hier bin ich," the commissioner
replied, the teeth flashing in a win

turned and cheered him to the echo.
Writing to his brother-in-law
from Cuba, following the Rough
Riders charge up San Juan hill,
Roosevelt says:
Il would rather have led that
charge and earned my colonelcy
than to serve three terms in the
United States senate. 1t makes me

an apology for my having existed.
One day, while Roosevelt was
governor of New York, a letter ar
rived at his home with no name
and no address. On the envelope
was simply a drawing of a large
set of teeth. The letter said:
please let Jack Smith, 21l West
18th street, know whether this let
ter reaches its destination. 1t is a
bet, and money hangs in the bal
ance."
Roosevelt, following his return to
America after his African hunt and
a tour of Europe, told amusing &C
counts OF some of his European ex-
periences. He laughingly referred
to a message from the kaiser re-
ceived while he was in London, in
which Wilhelm told him that he
would be pleased to give him three
quarters Of an hour of his precious
time the next day.
And Roosevelt, then a plain
American citizen, sent him a mes
sage, saying that he would be de-
lighted to see Wilhelm, but he re-
GREETED he could give him only Is
minutes.
In 1918, when Teddy lay critical
ly i'll in Roosevelt hospital, just at
the time allied armies were facing
the most critical condition abroad,
Roosevelt whispered to his sister,
who sat at his bedside:
81 am so glad that it is not one OF
my boys who is dying here, for
THEY can die for their country"
Just before leaving the hospital,
when he was still in bad shape,
the colonel said to Mrs. Robinson,

Thirtieth street and Fifteenth ave
nue., at $50 o'clock last evening
two members of the choir, Mrs. r
L. Martin, 1905 Twenty-eighth
street, and William J. Schneider
2544 Twentieth avenue, were in
jured when heavy electric lamp
above the choristers became loos-
ened from its fastenings and fell
upon them.
An artery in Mrs. Martins right
wrist was severed and Mr.. Schnei-
der's head was cut. He was I'M
conscious for short time. The
glass lamp was about II inches in
diameter and struck two members
of the group heavy blow. Others
scrambled for safety.
DR.. A E. Williams was called
and dressed their wounds after
which they were taken to their
homes.
Just before the lamp fell the
storm which swept over the city
last night was at its height, and it
is supposed the force OF the wind
may have loosened the lamp sup

MRS. DOUGLAS ROBINSON. SISTER
OF THEO. ROOSEVELT, REVEALS
NEW SLDELTGHTS UPON HIS LIFE

New York, Sept. IL - Scores o.

anecdotes in the life OF the late
Theodcoe Roosevelt are told in q
book. MY Brother, Theodore Roose-
welt, written by his younger sister
J Corinne, now Mrs Douglas Robin
SON The book is publirhed by
Scribners.
Mrs. Robinson and Roosevelt, as
children, were inseparable. "NTeedie'
and COME" were the nicknames
they affectionately bestowed on
based on letters Theodore wrote to
his sister and on her own diary.
| When the boy who was to become
| president was IL, his father turned
one Of the upper, rooms OF his New
York home into an outdoor gym
nasium, and calling Theodore to
him, said: You have the mind, but
not the body, and without the help
of the body the mind will not go as
far as it should. You must MAKE
your body. 1t will be hard drudg-
cry, but know you will do it"
The boy threw back his head and
with q flash of the white teeth that
later became famous, answered:
Il WILL make my body" He be-
came the exponent. of the strenuous
life.
Enjoyed Boxing.
While the Roosevelt children
were spending year in Germany,
Elliot, brother of Theodore. wrote
to an uncle, shortly after the boys
had been presented with boxing
gloves:
Last night, in a round with
Teedie. he got bloody nose and
got a bloody mouth. We do enjoy
the gloves SO. Boxing is one OF
Teedie's and my favorite amuse-
ments; it is such a novelty to be
made to see stars when it is not !

CONFESSeUILT


Edward Bell and Mrs. Mary Hale
indicted for theft of Sam Fosdick'i
automobile after they had thrown
him In an abandoned mine at Easl
Peoria last February, have entered
pleas OF guilty in Peoria circuit
court
Their association began in Rock
Island during the period of the wal
and Bell was known here as Ed
ward Hale, although Mrs. Hale's
husband at that time was serving
with the A E. r After leaving this
city they went to Peoria, where Mrs.
Hale added Fosdick to. her list OF
victims and working with her part
ner, left her ambitious lover ex-
posed to the elements in the mine
shaft while they drove away in Eos
dicks car
The woman will ask for proba-
ton, and it probably will be grant
ed, as the general impression Is
that she is more sinned against
than SHINING and that she is the
dupe of Bell, who seems to be in
for a penitentiary sentence.
Mrs. Hale, who is 20 and looks
bed hair, still retains her good
looks, despite the life she admit
ted she led with Hale while her
husband was in France and Ger
many. She looked anything but
the part she had played the past
year or two, as detailed in her con-
fession, and some surprise was ex-
pressed by those acquainted with
the case that she had not asked for |
separate trial, but they had ap-
parently decided to win or lose to-
gether.
Change Minds.
The court had appointed z. S.
Won Tobel to defend them, and he
asked for a few minutes confer
ence with his clients, which was
granted, and when they returned
the examination of jurors was be-
gun. Eight jurors had been ac-
cepted when the defendants decided {
1t would be useless to make a fight,
as both had signed confessions and I
they entered pleas of guilty before
Judge Niehaus.
Mrs. Hale and Bell were arrested
at Rockford in July, charged with
Sam FOsdick, a Peoria ,
taxi driver, whom Bell employed
to drive them to East Peoria one
night last February. When they
reached East Peoria, Fosdick was
knocked on the head, bound, and
after driving the car around for
some time Bell threw Fosdick into
an abandoned mine. He managed
TO crawl out, and when he told his
story it was received with some
doubt, but the arrest of Bell and
the woman and their confessions
corroborated the story told by the
taxi driver.

Thomas Jefferson said that the peo-
pie who were the least governed were
the best governed,
Germany that had the most paternal-
ism and regulation of industry and
citizens was worst off.
The school teacher who makes
scores of new rules regulating the
children has the worst time with the
children.
The fewest and simplest rules aut
those lived up to produce the bes
children at home or in school.
Those who want everything regulat
ed by laws and commissions and in
spectors must pay high taxes.
II our industries and business an(
movements and even personal habit

Truthful Paragraphs from Liberty.

The church that gains standing in
politics loses her power in religion.
The martyrs of the gospel were VIC
TINS of a union of church and state.
The church never sank 80 low in
spiritual life as when she influenced
the civil scepter.
Religious fanatics in the past secur-
ed from the state, laws embodying
their religious views upon debatable
questions. These laws were so in
tolerant that they made criminals out
of honest, conscientious men who
dared to stand true to their convic-
tlons, and to the word of God.
A religion that is not capable of TAX
ing care of itself with Gods word on
its side, is not worth preserving after
it has forsaken God and fled to the
state for support. The theologian
who says the church will perish unless
1t obtains aid and support from the
civil power is leaning upon a broken
staff, and knows moi. the power of the
living God.
The National Reform Association
claims that Christianity and the church
cannot survive unless the nation legal
ICES Christianity, and the civil gov
ernment will perish which does not
legalize religion. When Rome went
down, she had more religious statutes
upon her book than at any other time
in her history, Germany, under the
kaiser; Russia, under the czar; and
Mexico, under Huerta, all recognized
the God Of heaven as the ruler of ma
tions, and Christianity as the legal
religion. Their day has passed, but
Christianity is still here. A formal,
legal recognition of God as the
supreme Ruler and Christianity as
the genuine religion will save no ma
tion from overthrow. Even the devils
have done this much with fear and
trembling, but that is no guaranty Of
salvation. The only thing that saves
is Christ in the life.

Edison's Opinion of the Eight Hour Day

Perhaps there is no more popular
and hard working man than Thomas
A. Edison, Americas wizard inventor.
When he expresses his opinion OF
anything it is usually worth con-
slderation by most of us. Speaking
of the trend of modern labor, he says:
81 am not against the eight hour
day, or any other thing that protects
labor from exploitation at the hands
of ruthless employers. But 1t makes
me sad to see young Americans
shackle their abilities by blindly con-
forming to rules which force the in
dustrious man to keep step with the
shirker. I have always felt that one
Of the principal reasons for American
progress in the past has been that
every man had a chance to become
whatever he wanted to be.
Today I am wondering what would
have happened to me by now if fifty
years ago some f1ue Mt talker had con-
verted mesto the theory of the eight
hour day and convinced me that it
was not fair to my fellow-workers to
put forth my best efforts in my work.
81 am glad that the eight hour day
had not been invented when was a
young man. If my life had been
made up of eight hours I do not be-
lieve could have accomplished a
great deal. This country would not
amount to as much as it does If the
y oung men of fifty years ago had
been afraid that they might earn
more than they were paid. There
ought to be some labor leader strong
enough to make trade unions means
for fitting their members for better
jobs and greater responsibilities.
