Huntington, w. Va. Jan. "a sharp
break Of approx imatsiy 80 per cent In
hurley tobacco prices at local ware
houses today caused widespread dis
satisfaction among farmers. Although
there were no reflections or removal

were heard frequently 1t is said. There
were also rumors of q cooperative Or
ganizatinn among the farmers to fight
tho low prices.
Sales weres slow today with prices
ranging from one to fifty dollars per
hundred pounds. 1t was estimated that
one hundred thousand pounds were SOLD
today.

Here is 4 rather touching little tale
that ! heard the other day.
Lucy is Il very slow moving child.
She seems almost incapable or hurry
ing 1t takes her almost twice as long
as other children to dress or undresS'
or eat her dinner or get her things To
10 out. Naturally this Slowness Is con.
stautly interfering with the routine OF
The household and her mother Is always
trying 10 get her to hurry up. But !
don't see that it does the least eood,
She told me- YEARLY.
. Now here is LuCy'S side Of the case,
UNEXPECTEDLY presented when. visiting
aunt helped her undrcss one might.
why don't you hurry up and get un.
dressed before the other children and
give Mother a surprise?" suggested the
aunt.
Lucy gave n. sigh: We'll, YOU
know" she said, II don't think 1t would
do any good ! do try TO hurry some
times, but Mother never seems 10 no
tiCc."
They Need the Sunshine an Well as
the Rain.
"Mother never SEEMS to notice
what a pathetic little indictment that
is. Yet the mother IS not at all a Sc
we're, eXacting person as you might
fancy but just q busy woman who tenn
porarily forgot that the sunshine OF
approval and commentator is quite as
important to small human plants as
the rain Of correction and discipline.
The little incident vas reported 10
her and she was almost too SELL
aecusatOry. Henccforth she Is sure she
will notice efforts in tho right direc-
ton, no matter how slight.

Coffee Tree is Found
In Some Southern States

Around some of the old homes IN
MARYLAND and Virginia one finds grow
ing fig bushes. pecan trees and Other
very useful trees of the early Colonial
and Revolutionary periods, which our
ancestors called the Kentucky coffee
tree because it's seeds were used in
brewing a drink which was used as
a substitute for coffee.
The coffee tree is usually found in
rich bottom lands in company with
the black walnut, blue ash, hacka,
berry. cottonwood, honey locust, red
elm. and the hickories. 1t is native
American tree and the name which
the botanists have given it Is gym
nocladuc dioicus' The first words
meaning naked branch, and the sec
ond part of the name is also com
pounded of two Greek words meaning
that the plant has both male and fe-
male flowers on different branches

Reginald Musgrave had been in the
same college as myself, and / had
some slight acquaintance with him.
He was not generally popular among
the undergraduates, though it always
seemed to me that what was set down
as pride was really an attempt To
cover extreme natural diffidence. In
appearance he was a man of an ex
ceedingly aristocratic type, thin. high
nosed and large-eyed, with languid
and yet courtly manners He was in
deed, the scion of one of the very
oldest families in the kingdom though
his branch was a cadet one which
had separated from the northern Mus
graves some time in the sixteenth
century, and had established itself
in western Sussex, where the mancr
house of Hurlstone is perhaps thu
oldest inhabited building in the coun-
try. Something of his birthplace
seemed to cling TO the man, and
never looked at his pale, keen face
or the poise of his head without As
sociaing him with gray archways
and mullioned windows and all the
