Like the tobacco markets in all
other cities in the Bluegrass, the
local market keeps along the stu mp
ing line, and much dissatisfaction
at low prices has been expressed by
those who have brought their to-
bacco here. Earlier in the week the
market seemed to be a little strong
er, only to begin a decline that,
growers stated, has been steady day
by day. Even the better grades of
tobacco have felt the effect CT the
slump, and growers are greatly dis
heartened by the prices being paid
for their product. Many have not
unloa ded their wagons, while others
having tobacco on the floors, are
holding for a possible change IN
prices. The tobacco continues to
come to market, but if the low
prices continue. there will be very
noticeable Stacking of receipts.
Offerings on the market OF
Thursday were mostly of the common
grades, but there was an increased
demand for that grade, which caused
the prices to advance about one cent.
Both warehouses sold about $4,000
at an average of S12.40. The mar
ket Friday was about on par with
that of the day previous, with prices
possibly a shade lower. Good to-
bacco brought fairly good figures,
but there was preponderance OF
| the lower grades, which reduced the
average. The Bourbon Tobacco
Warehouse Co. sold 162,9S0 pounds
! for S15,745.91, an average OF $11.5O.
AS illustrating the condition OF the
local tobacco market the following
was told THE NEWS Saturday by a
Paris grocer:
Zone of my best customers, a
| Bourbon county farmer, who has al
! ways had great success in growing
| tobacco, sent load Of the weed tC
| the Paris market Friday. His teams
all being busy he engaged a truck
from a Paris garage. The garage
charged him s. for hauling the 10
bacco to the warehouse. The to-
bacco sold for $3.50, and he had te
bor:,.w forty cents to pay the truck
driver. That's how the market has
been here -e
Another instance THE NEWS
heard of liz connection with the
tobacco situation was this A tea

New York is having lot of fun in anticipation of the verbal duel shortly to be staged in William A.
 Brady's theater, The Playhouse, be- tween Brady and the Rev. John Roach Straton, over the question of whether the stage is immorala The theater was chosen as the battle ground by Rev. Mr. Straton himself. He said he could speak more freely there than in his own Calvary Bap- tist Church, which Brady proposed be the scene of the encounter. Will liam H. Anderson, superintendent of the New York State Anti-Saloon League, will be the minister's second while Corse Payton, the actor-man- ager, will held the bottle for his op- ponent.

There is no use. We may as well admit the complete wrongness of all the cartoonists and the funny story people, who would imply that the vis- itor from the village is the one who is buncoed in New York City. We've had a few rather embarrassing in- stances of our own native-born Man .hattanites buying gold bricks of va rious descriptions these past few months; and now comes another grievous discovery. The men who sell a $2 wrist watch for 35 cents, those who offer the public an unex- celled fountain pen for 69 cents, and all the rest of such philanthropists rarely try to sell their wares in the parts of the city where out-of-town CTS are gathered. "You can't sell a rube nothin' these days" said one of the tribe the othed day. They're too cautious or too wise. The bes place for our business is where ths hard boiled native New Yorker works; down in the business districts We can sell almost anything to of flee boys, stenographers and bus mess men," So one more tradition is punctured.

New York, May 2S.-Westward, ho! once again. The emigrant train of the twentieth cetury will leave New York in two months. It's the first to start for the "great, wide west" in this generation, and nj spite of the fact that the caravan will be made up of 128 moor cars, it is af- ter all pretty much the same thing as the trains of prairie schooners which crept across the continent half cen tury ago. The "emigrants," the 128 fmailies who will go in the motor cars are all native Americans. They are not seeking freedom from oppression nor religious liberty nor a chance to earn living. Their object is wholly to get away from this biggest city to rear their children where there is room and air and ground. The plan grew out of vacation tours taken by two of the men and their families. After the idea was born, they wrote various commercial clubs and state officials of the west, and the party be- cause the governor of Idaho was the . first to answer their letters, it is Ida zho for which the caravan will be bound. Five thousand acres of land have been taken there.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Probably New York just doesn't know how to be "neighborly" in the old-time sense. don't beleive it's coldness though. But one woman who recently moved into an apartment house on Morning side Heights from very small vil- lage, can't understand it. 'sI'll take half of this strawberry short-cake to the young couple across the hall" ," she told the cook the other night. "You'd better not, ma'am, the cook advised. "They don't do such things here. Anyhow they look to me like folks that was raised on the kind that's made of cake instead of bis cults" But the neighborly spirit was not to be downed. She rang the bell. A white, capped maid took the plate with an amazed stare and dis appeared. She came back before the woman opened her own door. Mrs. J. says it's all right and how much is it and was it to raise money for a charity?"

It is difficult to deceive a woman about anything have heard, but it's impossible when it comes to her we'd ing presents. The home of Mrs. Howard von Bommel was robbed re- gently of wedding presents in silver worth $6,000. The other day she was out for a walk and discovered a handsome display of them in a cu- rio shop window. There was no deny- ing the keen eyes and memory of the bride. She knew evrey mark and every detail of design on every single piece. There was nothing for the shopkeeper to do but throw up his hands and protest his innocence. Never" he said, "did hear of an owner knowing her possessions so convincingly."

One can see almost anything in New York. And frequently does. For instance: the other day from a train on the Sixth Avenue elevated, I looked into the windows of loft on
 Christopher street, right at nice live GOAT, munehing away on a bunch of hay. Why goat was kept there and how all the rest of the story, I can't imagine and shall prob ably never know. But 1t was there.

What is work? And why do you work? Is marriage work? Those are few of the questions the Nat ional Board of the Y. M c. A., is going to find out about. Now that Thomas A. Edison has started flood of academic questions abroad the Y. W. is going to send out list of decidedly practical ones. Personal opinions, not the verdict of historians of geography, will be what's wanted as replies. A convention resolution was adopted by the Board recently for the studying of the place and sig nificance of work in the life of women and then-here's the particularly practical note-for the promotion of the necessary instruction. The ques- tionnaire being compiled will ask for definition of work, and including that disputed question noted above, anent marriage. Then it will ask why the questioned person works. For necessities? A desire for self expression? Among the other questions already framed are: What is the value of work? Why is hav- ing to work sometimes regarded as undesirable? If you are married, would you work? What reward does married woman receive for caring for her home? Does home-maker have to spend as much money as be- fore she was married? From the re- plies to the queries-and many more the I. W. classes will be planned to meet as best they can what seem to be the chief demands for vocational training.

The theatrical people of the city
 were busy last week on the celebra-
 tion of Rev. Dr. George c. Houston s
 fiftieth anniversary in the ministry.
 For no man in the whole country
 is closer, probably, to the hearts of
 the men and women of the stage than
 this rector of the famous Little Church Around the Corner" Its real
 name is the Church of the Trans
 figuration but it's always called the other. Dr. Houston's uncle founded
 1t and was it's only pastor. Many years ago, after the succession of the present rector, the then famous actor George Holland died and committee of actors, among them Joseph Jefferson, went to a Fifth Avenue clergeman to arrange for the actors funeral The minister explained that his scruples would pro- hibit him officiating at services for an actor. Then he unbent enough to suggest. 'tThere's little church around the corner where the rector would serve you" And from that moment, hte little Twenty ninth street church was beloved of all the actors and was known as .tThe Little Church Around the Corner"

The women who have founded and are backing the Junior Art Patrons of America had difficult situation to meet at their first gathering. While believing firmly in the fundamental interest of youth and girlhood in the matter of high art, they nevertheless felt that maybe they could get them together more quickly and more numerously if they put dancing on their invitations to the first as- semblage, held at the Fine Arts Build
 ing. That part was alright It
 worked as they thought it would.
 The gathering gathered in full force.
 And Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Herbert Satterfield and the rest of the patrons rejoiced. But then The music started for the dancing the youths were choosing their part.
 ners; when like thunderbolt from a clear sky came the announcement in stentorian tones from William A Paxton, that the charter of the Fine Arts Building prohibited dancing within it's walls. For a few minutes it looked as though Art would never
 get the support of it's Junior Patrons
 But Adolph Lewisohn rescued the
 cause of Art by inviting everybody
 instantly to his nearby home, where music, refreshments, and no building rules made the Art evening a sue. cess after all.

 The road commissioner of whoever it is of Oyster Bay knows something about the psychology of advertising, as we'll as of the prosaic matter of making roads.

It certainly was interesting the other night at the Annual Art Models Ball held at Tammany Hall It was intriguingly called "a true village carnival" but that wasn't the par ticularly interesting thing about it. Picking out the girls you had seen pictured in your favorite brand of hosiery and talcum powder and pretty nearly everything else you buy that was the the thing that held you long after the hour when you were expected safe within the walls of your own apartment. They really DO look like their pictures. Prob ably especially so because a good many of them came dressed as they aA in the ads--within reason, of course.
