Lower prices paid for Kentucky
and Virginia types Of tobacco tmos,-
ly kentucky and greater demand
for cigarettes have enabled cigarette
manufactors TO show he largest pro-
fits in their history. despite the gen.
eral business depression. a front-page
article in a recent issue Of Wall
Street Journal said.
Manufacturers saved approximate
~ 100000, 900 AZ a result Of the
slump Of Kentucky grades alone. the
decline on tobacco grown in this
State having been the greatest. the
article continues. The average price
paid Kentucky farmers December 1.

32.2c n year before, 26.3c two years
before and zoe three years before
and an average price Of la.sc for the
ten years 1910 to 1919, inclusive,
the journal states.

at zoe for a package Of twenty. Be-
fore the war ii retailed at Toe. Tax

against &c today. In 1919 Kentuc-
Ky tobacco brought 3s.2c pound
compared with Use in 1915. and in
crease Of nearly 800. Other mater
ials advanced in about the same pro-
portion, while retail prices increased
only about 100 per cent.
"lt was estimated last year that
20 per cent Of production costs went
for leaf. With prices for leaf cut
in half compared with those for the
1919 crop, the enormous saving to
the cigarette manufacturer is obvi-
Gus. Labor costs in cigarette max
ing represent 10 per cent Of the total.
Cigarette Output at Record.
In the first 4 months Of 1921 cigar
cite production on the basis Of in
ternal revenue figures amounted to
&c. 07, 100000. This is at the an
nual rate Of nearly 49.000,00O.000
compared with 4A.65I 100000 in
1920 s4,sO4. 600, 900 in 1919 and
87.9l4,000,000 in 1918.
As q result Of lower leaf prices.
cigarette manufacturers are accumu-
lating large quantities Of cash. It is
officially estimated that one Of the
big manufacturers purchased its sup
ply Of tobacco ut something like
$50 100000 less than it cost in 1919.
This figure exceeds the manufactur-
ing profit Of any cigarette concern
last year. and is nearly Is per cent
Of the 1920 profits Of the Ave most
important manufacturers.
There appears little likelihood Of
a reduction in cigarette prices. for
the time being. at least. Growing
demand makes il unnecessary to cut
to get business. Also, q reduction
Of soc n thousand, or lc on q pack
age Of twenty cigarettes, would prob.
ably not be passed on to the con-
sumer. except in cases where there
was competition among dealers.
Leading tobacco men feel that when
a cut is made, il will be sc on the
package Of twenty cigarettes.

The president usually has a physi,
clan from the army or naval medical
corps. DR.. c. Z. Sawyer is the Hard
ing, family physician, adviser and

bit of their time about the White
House.
Much 1nformality.
Senator Lodge and some other re-
publican leaders will probably be
frequent visitors at the White House
for business reasons, but the senators
who will slide into the White House
in the evening on pleasure bent will
probably be Senator Fred Hale, oi
Maine, Senator Frelinghuysen Of
New Jersey, and Senator Davis FL
kins of West Virginia. These men
have long been playmates OF the
president-elect and they know how
to make a bridge game interesting
for either Senator or Mrs. Harding.
The chanots are ten to one that most
OF their evening calls at the White
House will be sans\evening clothes,

of informality as the president-elect.
Necessity may make the White
