Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN, WIS.,. Aug 19, 1921

The official August l report given
out by the department of agriculture,
through the state bureau, says:
Production of tobacco in Wisconsin is
estimated at So, 379, 900 pounds, COM
pared to Sc, 784,G00 forecasted July l,
62, 400, 900 produced in 1920, and B.
year average of So, 920, 900 pounds. The
crop is rather uneven in stand, partic-
ularly in Vernon county. 1t is topping
too early, and some damage from
worms is reported. Condition on Aug
ust l was rs per cent, compared to 81
per cent on July l, sc per cent on Aug
ust ! last year, and 10-year average
85 per cent.
The tobacco crop of the United States
will be very small this year. Not only
is the August condition low, but large
decreases occurred in the acreage
planted to this crop in the Southern
states. Production is now estimated
to be 889 million pounds, compared to
932 million forecasted on July l, $685.
600, 600 produced in 1920, and 5-year
average of 1,272, ,000, 900 pounds. Con-
dition on August | was 66.6 per cent,
compared to 71.9 per cent on July /,
81. per cent last year, and 10-year
average of 79.1 per cent.
The above quoted report may not be
so very much out of the way, even as
things look today, though the July es-
innate for Wisconsin is pretty high.
The outlook for the 1921 crop has en-
tirely changed during the past week or
ten days. This change, while mainly
affecting the size of the leaf. will also
materially increase the total weight.
This increase notwithstanding, the to-
tai poundage of the state can not run
much beyond the 80, 900, 900 mark. For
tunately, only small acreage of the
very earliest had been harvested before
the late rain and following driving
growing weather, and in consequence
much of the early tobacco was bene-
fitted; but it is the medium and later
paintings which show the greatest i'm
provement. The fields have fairly
bounded forward in size of leaf The
harvesting is now in full swing and will
last quite while as the late tobacco in
spite of the recent jump is uneven.

FEDERAL BUREAUS WON'T RESPOND TO
 BROWN REMEDIES
Presidents Re-organizer Finds Many Obstacles in Way of Re-or-

Washington, D. C., Dec. 2-Walter Brown, who was brought to Wash ington from Ohio to act as President Harding's personal representative in recognizing the executive depart ments on an efficient and economical basis," is having a, lot of trouble, so he tells the President.
 Heads of departments are throwing sand in the wheels and the machine refuses to operate along lines drawn in the blue print. MT. Brown had hoped to lay his completed plans be- fore the President and his cabinet a montlY or more ago, but to date he has failed to secure either co-opera- ton or coordination of the depart mentS
 The original schedule called for abandonment of the Labor and Agri- cultural Departments and the creation of a new Welfare Department. as the present administration proposed to do away with all class distinction or recognition in the executive branch of the national government. The statis- tcal bureau was to be turned over to Mr. Hoover and his Department of Commerce. Secretary Fall of the In terior Department desired control of some of the functions now perform ed by Secretary Wallace in the Agri- cultural Department, and thus 1t went down the line. The main thing was to cut out the duplication and over tapping of departmental work, so it was said.
 But when it came to making sub fractions and additions there was a wide division of opinion among the department officials who were reluct- ant to let go or take on in accordance with MT. Browns program. Depart ments, bureaus and commissions have been built up gradually since the gov ernment was first formed, and it is not so easy as it looks for a stranger to step in and re-organlze methods that have become so firmly fixed in Washington. Besides, if MT Brown succeeds in completing plan and it is approved by the President, mem bers of Congress will have the final

SALVATION ARMY
 SERVICE IN ARIZONA

How the Salvation Army admin stered to the allied armies at the front during the great world war is closed chapter in the history of the accom- plishments of this organization, in so far as the Army is concerned. But another page is being written in the historical achievements of these great Servants of all." It is a service be- ing rendered right here in Arizona and it is because of work of this nature that the Salvation Army is making it's appeal to Arizonans for its 1921 state quota. A sum of $25,400 is being asked to finance the work of the or ganization in all it's phases for the present year.
 At this time, the Salvation Army is administering to another army, but of a distinctively different type. It is the army of the unemployed now deriving the benefits of Salvation Army service. Hundreds have been and now are being cared for. This work is exclusive of the regular Army program. Hundreds of poor families about the state are annually provided for as well as delinquent boys and girls and wayward families. But care of the unemployed in such large num- bers as is now being provided is clas- sified under the heading of Especial service" It is, in brief, work that requires large expenditures of money not provided fir in the annual budget.
 Stirred by the heart-rending ap- peals of the unemployed in Phoenix, Commandant Westacott of the Phoe- nix barracks drained the exchequer of every available dollar and erected temporary relief barracks on the Army's lot on North Second Street. Here the hungry are being fed; the homeless housed.

THREE DROPS KILL

The chemical warfare division of the federal government has discovered a chemical that has wonderful pene- trating properties, as it is said that three drops on any part of the skin of human being will instantly kill. The same division is working on cloth ing that will be impervious to this new fluid. It is said that the United States is in position to manufacture several thousand tons daily. The liquid can be used by aeroplanes spraying the dope over the country, it being certain that every living thing that was touched by it dying instantly.
 The chemical warfare department of the government has been trying out various death dealing chemicals, al- though it is expected that they will be used only as a retaliatory measure against an enemy using prescribed methods of warfare. We take it that poison gas and other like substances will be tabooed in future wars, as their after effects have been too ter rible to contemplate. Since the last war millions of men are suffering the torments of the damned from the in- halation of poison gas.

The Empire A.. c.. team of this city
will line up against the fast Acorns
of Meriden Saturday afternoon at St.
Mary's field Kickoff at 8 p. m
The Meriden boys have a team of
no little repute this season and they

so far they have been unable to score
against the local team. Last season
the teams met twice on the gridiron.
The first game resulted in a 90 score
and in the second game the locals de-
feated the Acorns 60, so the Meriden
team is very anxious to come here
again this season to try to take, the
scalps of the local pigskin chasers.l
The Empires are practicing hard
this week in preparation for the game
Saturday afternoon and several
changes are being made in the lineup
which will greatly improve the team.
