FAIR PRICE ON
GOOD TOBACCO
Percentage OF Good And Medium
Grades of Week However Is
Running Low.
(By w B Kennedy

Offerings during the early part of
the week were fairly good on both
the loose floors and at the wagon
sales, but they have been growing
less for the past few days, very lit
tie tobacco moving yesterday and
today. This is on account of the
colder weather and the bad condition
of the roads, but with more favora-
BILE weather, we may expect heavier
movement from now on.
The condition of the tobacco is
generally doubtful the greater part
of 1t being too soft and Is discrimina-
ted against on that account. Prices
are practically unchanged from last
week, except common grades of leaf
are shade stronger. Very little leaf
that we would class as good common
to good medium has made its ap-
pearance this week. The highest
price for leaf for the week was about
"a cents, but quite good deal of
common to good common has sold
at 15 to 20 cents, but the bulk of
the sales are of the low and common
grades of leaf and selling at 5 to 8
cents. Lugs are unchanged with pri-
ces ranging from l to cents. Very
few of the better grades of lugs are
appearing,
There has been considerable activi-
ty in country buying, but sales have
not been heavy. Prices in the coun-
try range about the same as on the
loose floors and wagon markets In
some sections where the better grades
are selling prices have ranged from
Is to rs Gets for leaf with lugs at
and cents.
The further we go In the crop the
commoner it seems and the percent
age of good and medium grades are
very scarce, and are eagerly sought
alter, while the low and common
grades are plentiful and have but
few friends. The prices for the COM
moner grades are not satisfactory to
sellers, but all are realizing that
lower prices have been established
and they are more willing to accept
ruling prices than they have been
heretofore.
A great part of the crop has been
stripped and rehung, and when we
have good season for ordering no
doubt we will see a great rush in de-
liveries Most farmers see the i'm
portance of getting their tobacco in
good condition and we are expecting
the order to be better from now on.
Very little has been done during
the past week with preparations for
this years crop, but with drying
weather more plant beds will be pre-
pared and most farmers are sowing
seed of the broad leaf varieties and
the indications point to a much small
Ter acreage but an effort on the
part of the farmers to make a bet
ter quality.
During the past week the Planters
Protective Association has sold some
thing like 600 hhds. of old leaf. The
prices we understand, ranged from IL
to 20 cents.

SILVER BLAZE -:- By A. Conan Doyle

"I have seen nothing of my horse...' said he.
 "I suppose that you would know him when you saw him? ?" asked Holmes.
 The Colonel was very angry. 'T have been on the turf for twenty years, and never was asked such a question as that before,'' said he. "A child would know Silver Blaze, with his white forehead and his mot tled off-foreleg."
 'sHow is the betting?"
 Well. that is the curious part of it You could have got fifteen to one yesterday, but the price has be- come shorter and shorter, until you can hardly get three. to one now"
 ''Humi' said Holmes. Somebody knows something, that is clear"

WASHINGTON SOCIETY LEADER AND FRIEND
 OF MRS. HARDING HAS NO FEAR OF
 OCCULT TERRORS OF THE HOPE DIAMOND
Dazzling Gem Is Worn Fear. lessly By Mrs. Edward B Mclean Despite the 'Jinx' That Has Marked Its Om lnous History.
By MILDRED MORRIS (International News Service Staff
 

l COTTeSpOnOe
 l Washington, June - The Hope | diamond 'jinx'' has no terrors for
 Mrs. Edward B. Mclean. Washing
 ton social leader and wife of the | multi-millionaire publisher of the l Was 4ington Post and Cincinnati En- | quirer.
 When May Yohe, former music l hall favorite whose exploits filled newspaper columns, was hurt in a l fall in New York the other day, she attributed the accident to the Hope diamond hoodoo. Through her mar | riage to Francis Hope, she was the former poSsessor of the most famous ! of diamonds.
 Mrs. Mclean, it's present owner, continues to wear the gorgeous gem,
 apparently indifferent to the legends connecting the mishaps and tragedies | which have befallen it's possessors in the past with some evil occult power supposed. to be embodied in this won drous diamond whose rays are so dazzling they almost blind the eye. The Hope diamond crowns collec- tion of jewels said to be one of the most wonderful in the world. When travelling, Mrs. Mclean carries most of the collection with her. Her hus- band always employs a detective to accompany her and keep an eagle aye on her jewel treasures, for this young woman who has priceless dia- monds and rubies and pearls ito burn," as her friends express it, is said to regard them as carelessly as IT they were mere DaColeS.
 It is no longer shock to Washing ton to see her on a shoping tour wearing the Hope diamond with a sports suit. She wears it almost con- stantly and with any sort of costume. Formerly she wore the famous stone at formal evening functions as the center of a jeweled diadeTn. She now wears it as a necklace pendant.
 The natives of Point Isabel, the fish ing village in Texas on the Mexican border where Mrs. Mclean accom- anied President and Mrs. Harding last November on the outing which 'freshened" them for their entrance into the White House, still remember the 'jewelled lady" who roughed it with a rope of costly pearls around her neck and wore gorgeous rubies to brighten her outing costume.
 The present possessor of the Hope diamond and closest friend in Wash ington's social set of Mrs. Harding, the First Lady of the Land, is the daughter of a Colorado miner.
 Oldtimers in Ouray, Colo, recall the time when Evelyn Walsh played round the picturesque mining camp in pinafores and her father, From" Walsh, went to work every morning a pick.
 From" Walsh, whose story reads like a fairy tale, was a man of genu- inc culture His hands were rough with toll, but he needed no college degree or blue blooded ancestry to grace the position of companion of kings and statesmen. Social triuInphs in Newport and Europe marked his path after he struck it rich.~

 "All six there? Then my horse is running" cried the Colonel in great agitation. But I don't see him. My colors have not passed"

He was an intimate of King Leopold of Belgium.
 The Colorado mining king dazzled Paris with the magnificence of his en- tertainment the most notable of which was the dinner he gave in honor of Belgium's king. Food truly fit for a king was served on gold plate.
 Mrs. McLean's intimacy with Mrs Harding is of long standing. When the Hardings returned to Washing ton to prepare for the Inauguration, they were guests at the Mclean home and remained there utni1 they moved into the White House.
 Recently the Chief Executive and the First Lady of the Land dropped in'' on a dance the McLeans were giving and their first Sunday outing after they entered the White House was spent at Friendship, the Nc Eean country estate at Leesb urg, Va. It is rumored that the McLeans have offered this country place to the Pres ident for a summer home.

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
Is Hers Love?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Is Hers Love?
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 am tugboat captain in the port of New York and my duties are per formed nights. I am engaged to be married to a girl who, together with her mother, protests against my working nights. She threatens to leave me when we are married if happen to work nights. Seniority is the sacred thing for men in my busi- ness and, therefore, a man long with the company is entitled to the day job in preference to the newly appointed man. But I find it impossible to convince them I had a number of bad habits, among them gambling, before I1net this girl. but have giv- en up. everything just to have this girls love. What is your advice?
 F. P. M. What sort of love has a woman who is not prepared to make any sacrifice for you? You have worked to grow in your profession. and real help mate ought to be willing to make every effort to See you get on. Try to make the girl recognize that you will work up and out of the need for night duty. But if she fails you don't fail yourself Don't go back to your bad habits if the idolize turns out to be selfish. coInfort-Ioving and weakly interested in what suits her. no matter what it costs the man whose partner she ought to be ready , to be when she promises to be his fe

l have tuberculosis. I don't like to die, but I may as well know if I have to.
 Answer-you are letting your inn aglnation run riot. Calm your fears and try to forget the fluid symptom. You do not say why you fear tubercu-
 los1s, or give any symptoms. Per maps there are no more grounds for that fear than in the other case. However, if you will send a stamped self-addreSsed envelope information regarding tuberculosis, will be mailed to you. My advice, however, is to consult competent physician, who will explain away your fears.
 All inquiries addressed to Dr. Hu-
 Der in care Of the Heath Talks de- partrflent will be answered in these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time, however, owing to the great number received. So if a personal or quicker reply is desired, q stamped and seIf-addressed envelope must be enclosed with the question:

BEAUTY CHATS
SHOULDER EXERCISES
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

A great deal has been written a6out the danger of woman over devet- ders are not supposed to be beautiful in woman This is one Of the few remnants of 18th century prejudice that we have carried over into the sloping shoulder may be better look ing than the square shoulder, but there are certain types of figure to which only the square shoulder is be- coming, so woman need not refrain from developing her shoulders be- cause she fears to make them braiwny or unfeminine. As a matter of fact, it would take much more ex- ercise than most wcsnen could pos sibly manage to over-develop the shoulders
 Tn ere are two excellent exercises, both very easy to do at home. One is to stand upright with the arms stretched out in front of you and the hands doubled into fists. Draw the hands back to the shoulders, tensing the muscles as though you were pull ing great weight Fancy yourself out rowing a heavy boat against a strong current, that is the sort of ex- ercise you are doing and it is one of the best for developing the shoulders and giving a beautiful shape to the upper part of the back.
 The next exercise is somewhat like this only the hands are held out at the sides and drawn into the shou1- ders, so that when the elbow is bent she fists rest on top of the shoulders Once more in doing this you must imagine you are pulling against a heavy weight. You must tighten the muscles until they hurt, and rejoice instead of grieve next day if your arms and shoulders feel sore. Doing the exercise over again will take out the soreness. The proof that you need the exercise is the soreness of those muscles.
 Michae1.-The blackhead powder is made by mixing two ounces of corn starch, one ounce of powdered borax and one ounce of almond meal. It is used on a moStened waShctoth, the same as a soap.
 M-A-D.-If your letter of February Is has not been answered, it must have miscarried. State your needs again.
 Mrs. N. P.-If you send an ad- dressed envelope, I shall be pleased to mail you the information about creams and astringents.
 R. H.-Send me a stamped and self addressed envelope for bfackhead for mula. Soften your nails by rubbing plenty of cream into them each night, which will stop this tendency to breaking.

Many persons prefer the shad to any other kind of fish, but shun it because of it's treacherous bones All housewives, :then, should learn to re-
 move ths bones. It is easy to do.
 Have your fishman deliver the shad to you in the ordinary way l scaled, cleaned, with head and tail cut off. Place ft upon clean wrap ping paper and, with a slender-bladed
 knife, split the fish all the way along the side of it which has been partly
 opened by the fishman when cleaned the under part. Then. as though you were opening a book, take the top side of the fish with the left hand and, holding the knife in your right bones till the back of the shad is reached; in this way, the fish will lie fiat, opened. it's back representing the books binding and its two sides the leaves of open book
 Now begin at the neck and sep arate the backbone from the flesh of the lower side. Free the backbone Of all flesh and remove it gently so that the innumerable small bones which are attached to it, will also come
 away. Next make three shallow cuts, equal distances apart on each Of the two halves of the opened fish. These cuts should run the entire length of each half, and in making them take care not to press hard on the knife, for the object is merely to open the flesh down to the row of bones Du'
 
 The next step is to locate the bones in one of the sits with the tip of your knife. Slip one tine of a two-tine fork under each bone as you come to it. lifting f out gently. and continue this
 process till you have taken all the bones out of each of the three in cisions on each half of the shad-
 You will find, in doing this, that the nearer you reach the outer edge of the fish, the shorter are the bones
 To save trouble, you may take pair of scissors and cut off a strip about one-haIf inch in width when you have reached the extreme outer edge; th!s way, you will remove many small bones and will not lose much of the fish because this section of the shad is very thin. The small ventral ms will come away win this strip also.
 To make sure that you have re-
 moved all the bones in this way, run
 your finger down each of the SIX long
 incisions you have made in all, the
 two halves. You will be able to feel any bones which you have overlooked
