of Act-Leader in his Section.

Dillon, March 5.-J. H. Berry, a
farmer living on the Marion road
about five miles from Dillon, com
mitted suicide this morning about s
o'clock by shooting himself in the
temple with a pistol. It is said that
last night he seemed in very good
spirits and told his family of hav-
ing made arrangements for his fer
tilizers for this year. This morning
he was up early and went to the lot,
apparently to look after feeding the
stock. AS he did not return to break.
fast, which was waiting, some one
of the family went to tell him that
breakfast was ready. He was then
found in a small clubhouse with a
bullet wound in his head self -in-hict
ed. Last year he lost most of his es-
tate by decree of the court. This fol:
lowed by defation of farm products
is thought to have preyed upon his
mind, causing him to take this method
of ending his troubles.
He is survived by a widow and
seven grown children. His widow be-
fore her marriage was Miss David, of
Marion.

Washington March 4.-Vice Pres
ident Marshall, upon his retirement
from Office, said in part:
81 60, but you remain. I leave
with the same inarticulate cry in my
soul with which l came to you: My
country. 1t is no new or unusual cry
for the American, but it has fear,
myriad concepts. To some it means
broad acres and fertile fields; to
many opportunity for personal pre-
ferment; to a thoughtless few, the
right to utter every vagrant word
which finds lodgment in a mind dis
eased; to the half educated, that de-
mocracy should be governed as soon
by the infants cry as by the pro-
phe's warning. Blu to me it is but the
composite voice of all the good and
wise and self-sacrificing souls who
trod or tread its soil, calling for
that liberty which is law encrowned,
preaching that doctrine which seeks
not it's own, but the common good
and above all, warning US by the
memory of the dead and the hope Of
the unborn to close our ears to the
mouthings of every peripatetic re-

PATHETIC INCIDENTS
MARX INAUGURATION
Flags at Half Mast in Honor of
Champ Clark and Appearance
OF President Wilson Stir Emo.
tions of Washington Crowd

was not without it's pathetic Incl
dents. The flags, which similar
celebrations. have flown jauntily and
defiantly in the wind, were at half
mast in honor of the dead Demo
cratic elader, Champ Clark.
And. there was President Wilson.
His appearance moved vast throngs
to tears. In his infirmity he bore
himself .,bravely. He insisted that he
limp along unassisted, and yet in
mounting steps, it was necessary for
attendants. to lift his feet. Having
reaching the. capitol at great peril to
his life, he convinced himself that
he should abandon the remainder of
the program and so instead Of enter
ing the senate and appearing on the
east wing to hear the inaugural ad-
dress, he limped away into obscurity
from which he will be rescued in
time by grateful people. His auto
mobile rolled from sight just as the
vast throng; opened its throat to ac-
claim the new chief executive. "Le
roi est mort; vive lie ro1!' rang out
with almost the significance Of actu-
al verify
Mr.. Harding's address was of that
variety which naturally emanates
from an individual of his training
and inclination. It was an argument
for the prosecution and develop
ment of those principles which this
republic has proved good, rather
than one of inspiration based on the
necessity of progress in meeting the
influence of changed conditions.
Republicans were delighted in that
he proceeded against the league of
nations. Democrats, while refraining
from criticism. declared their convic-
ton that Mr.. Harding, if he has his
way will initiate an era peace and
quietude, one entirely denuded of
brilliant and spectacular events and
performances, one safe and sane
rather than one calculated to uplift
end enlighten.
One of the distinct features of
the day was the address of Thomas
R. Marshall, the retiring vice presi-
dent. He was never happier in the
selection of theme nor in the
choice of thought and language to
express it. At it's conclusion the SEN
ate sprang to its feet with spontane-
Gus acclaim, this incident being the
sole exception in a splendid though
entirely stereotyped program. The
new vice president, Calvin Coolidge,
apparel as sphomore, beside the
wizard who preceded.
Every one with a Single exception
gave visual proof of the solemnity
of the occasion. Of course, Presi-
dent Wilson's appearance cast a dis
tinct and lasting pail. President
Harding's fervent declarations, his
serious demeanor, his almost pious
conduct in taking the oath and kiss
ing the Bible accentuated, it and
then there were everywhere the half
masted flags, forever reminding
that in the immediate proximity of
the scene another great man, lay
dead.
Mrs. Harding appeared to wear
her jubilation on her sleeve. She was
most generous with her bows and
smiles, and her fetching mods moved
the emotional in her environ to re-
peated and uproarous applause.
Otherwise the day was one of tears
and serious mediation rather than of
laughter and joliification.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 1921


In the weekly review of the tobacco
market, the Leaf makes the following
comment which is of interest to Wis
sconsin tobacco growers:
The immense Accommodations of low
grade tObaccos for which there is no
apparent market promises to become
one of the most perplexing problems
which the grower has had to face in
many years Up to the present time
the large stemming concerns have man
ifested practically no interest in the
low grade portion of the 1920 cigar leaf
crop, and this fact is held to be. far
more responsible for the plight of the
low grade market than the more talked
of slump in the export market AS one
packer puts it:
'Too many are inclined to overrate
the Importance of the export market
for low grade cigar leaf, because they
take for their guide the abnormal years
of the war period when the United
States was forced into an artificial i'm.
portance as tobacco center They
forget that with the return of norma
shipping conditions, the European coun.
tries would naturally turn again to their
old established sources of supply, and
that the export business with the Unit.
ed States in this commodity would again
shrink to pre-war proportions. There
is nothing surprising about it. 1t sim
ply had to come. For my part | do not
see the slightest chance for any reviva
in export demand.

As far as sales from first hands are
concerned, the week has been practic.
ally bare of anything of interest Some
Edgerton owner of a large acreage OF
1920 leaf was offered cents but did
not take it, preferring to wait another
few weeks. The farmers warehouses
are getting under way with the handl-
ing of leaf on a cooperative basis.
London has again opened, Edgerton be-
gan receiving this week, Cottage Grove,
Stoughton, GAINESVILLE and other
other places are showing activity. Also
in the northern part of the state some
warehouses are asserting tobacco pool
ed by growers; thus at Chippewa Falls.
1t has also been reported that Mime
sofa growers are planning to assert
and pack for storage unsold leaf. There
is lot of it to be cared for. As the
season advances, and the privately op-
Grated warehouses finish the year. Is
pack, there will be plenty of help avail
able. Most of these warehouses have e
yet couple months of work ahead of
them.
In northern Wisconsin heavy deliv-
cries of tobacco were taking place at
Viroqua and Westby last week where
the Bekkedal an, Mcintosh warehouses
are handling large amount of fancy
leaf bought last fall. Several carloads
were received also by packers from the
southern part of the state to be shipped
down to the southern asserting centers
for handling. The Eckhardt warehouse
at Viroqua has closed, having finished
putting up it's buy. The fine combing
for binders up there is pretty nearly
over, very little desirable leaf now be-
ing left in first hands In spots con-
siderable shorts and low grades are
found, and these goods move no better
in the north than they do in the south.
The prices for asserting have contin-
ued as before, between $l25 and ST. SO
per hundred pounds. The employment
and steady income to laborers in the
asserting towns have been great boon
this winter when so little activity in
other lines has been on.

''It is hard not to be pessimistic and
there is nothing to be optimistic about, I"
declared leading tobacco grower in
the Connecticut Valley a few days ago
when asked concerning the tobacco sit
uation by your correspondent. 1.-The
slackening up of the tobacco industry
is not caused by overproduction, but is
due to lack of demand, says the Leaf.
In the fall of 1920 dealers paid 55 to
65 cents for the better grade of Con :
necticut leaf, but since then they are
afraid of it. A year ago rubbish and
brokes were bringing fair price, but
today there is little or no market for
it. Last week a Pennsylvania manu-
facturer visited the valley and although
he was optimistic, he declared he was
merely looking and not buying. If
dealers do not appear and lift the re-
mainder of the crop within compare
lively short time many growers will
start to case their crops. Some are in
position to do this, while others will
have to dispose of their crop before
thinking cf financing another.

When the buying opened up two
weeks ago the set price was Is and 18
cents, but before the transactions had
gone far competition became bit keen
and the figures advanced to 18 and 20
cents and even trifie more was paid
for top crops. That system" was
thrown to the wind was proved by the
fact that in numerous instances two
buyers from the same house appeared
at one farm at the same time and the
house was sure to get the crop. There
are now some sections of the county
where there is not single crop re-
naming. The northern end, where
there is a good loamy soil, the growers
got several cents more money than the
growers in the eastern section.
