Hopkinsville, KY, Dec. 8.--Today's
average on the loose tobacco mar
ket was $15.17 against $14.87 Tues
day, and is regarded as showing the
steadier condition and stronger tone.

which brought the farmers $51 ,052,
GA. Top prices today were $3.50,
the market not showing any extra
high grade tobacco. E...
Total sales for the first two days
were 680,71O pounds, on which the
average price was $15.02 per hun
bred pounds. The circuit of eight
loose floors was not completed until
nearly noon today,
The circuit is supposed to be made
each day, but so great was the con-
gestion of tobacco on every floor
that it was impossible to make great
er speed.

While feed is cheap, and milk cows
still cheaper, Weakley county farm
ers could not consider a better prop
osition at TIE present than taking
up the dairy business, Cows are
cheaper than they have been since
1914, Going into a business while
the capital stock is cheap and selling
out after prices are better, is better
than going into a business when
stock to be purchased is high, and
getting out after prices fall Also

What Harriet Overheard

IF HARRIET had stopped to think
- she would have known that to rc.
buff a man only whets his interest the
more. Charlie Harmon had never found
his progress with women difficult. and
for the rest Of the morning his thoughts
kept returning to Harriet.
There was something strangely fas-
cinatinc about her, something aloof, and
her violet eyes held reserves that he felt
it would be interesting to penetrate.
And what mouth, he said to him
self. "as though any woman could be
as really cold as she pretends, with
lower lip Ike that"
The more Charley thought about
Harriet, the more determined ne was
to batter down that reserve of hers.
To make woman like that really care
would be worth while. and ne mentally
resolved to approach her with tactics
different from those he used with the
majority OF girls he had tritlcd with.
Charley was junior member Of the
firm, and he pridPd himself on the fact.
He had his own office and his own
stcnOgrnphpr, but he was too happy go
lucky 70 take things very seriously. and
he took care not to burden himself with
too much work lie did not know half
SO much about the business as Barry

the firm, accompanied by Il COmmensur-
ate salary. He had told this TO Barry
and few days later the blow had
fallen.
During the afternoon Of her second
day with Harmon and Graves several
men called on Mr. Harmon. Harriet
realized that II was absolutely neceS-
sary to keep her ears open, for every
bit Of information was Of value to her
now. but il wasn't until after
O'Clock that anything Of any interest
happened.
Harriet was seated at her desk, list
cning lntoutly to the conversation that
was going on hcween Mr.. Harmon and
a man who had been ushered in few
minutes before y sudden exclamation
from Mr. Harmon suddenly startled her
so that she almost looked up and be-
trayed the fnct that she was interested,

the Ashman. giving Peggy and Billy
rs knightly a bow as they had ever

waving his hand toward his loaded ash

Peggy and Billy thought It would be

she ran into the house. Mother was
willing that they should 60 riding with

knew him we'll and trusted him.

the party promised the Ashman. He
spread q clean cover over the seat of
his wagon and when Peggy and Billy
climbed up they found there was no
danger of getting their clothes dirty.
''Get-ap, Fast Lightning!' said the
Ashman to his horse.
Peggy and Billy grabbed tight hold of
the seat If that horse was named Fast
Lightning it might start off with u
swift jerk.
But Fast Lightning did no such
thing. He just waggled his ears and
| shook his head.
Get .ap. Fast Lightning" urged the
Ashman. poking the horse with the
blunt end of the whip. Fast Lightning
wagglcd his ears a bit faster and
switched his tail.
"Get-ap, Fast Lightning! There is
fine feed of oats waiting for you at

Lightning pricked up his ears quickly
and set off at slow walk.
Fast Lightning! That's queer
Lame for this horse" remarked Peggy.
This is queer horse" grinned the
Ashman. Fast Lightning Is the queer :

that is why l gave it to him"
Fast Lightning moved along at q

or other feel that it isn't at all proper
for mo TO call on my girl friend as often
