BUSINESS
HUMMING
At Warehouses OF Bur-
ley Tobacco Growers


All the machinery and workmen
at both houses Of the Burnley Tobae.
co Growers' Association have been
running ION high" this week and the
growers are more pleased each day
that they are in the association af-
ter they see how the work Is handled
and graded and they have received
an advance on their tobacco. which
in many cases has exceeded the en-
tire amount received from the same
quantity and quality Of tobacco sold
over the breaks here last winter.
Since Il became known that a
large part o. the associations tobae-
co had been sold and from what can
be learned at good prices, the grow
ers are even more enthused and have
begun making preparations for the
coming crop.
Good Grading Essential
II every grower Of tobacco could
come and spend one day at these
warehouses and see just how their
tobacco is graded by Messrs. Dunlap
and Blanks. they can see in a
moment the Importance Of separating
the various grades. as well as the
classification Of each grade. This
Is decidedly the most important work
Of the grower in handling bis entire
crop. With only few exceptions.
the grading by the growers have
been done exceptionally well. but a
few eases have been found By the Of
fetal graders where the grower neg
lected this important feature. and as
a result Lost heavily. as the tobacco
had 20 be judged by the inferior
hands found in tina, particular basket.
II the grower has any complaint 20
make or should he have cause 70
think that his tobacco should have
a better grade. he should take this
up with the official graders at once
and they viii gladly explain to him.
just why his tobacco had to 70 into
a lower grade. The graders, how
ever careful. are not infallible, and
will gladly correct any mistakes that
they might make. II attention Is call
ed TO Il at that time.
Many trucks are carrying the low
grades to DAnville for re-dryinT and
the floors are being rapidly cleared
Of this class Of tobacco.
To impress the grower more firm
~ the importance Of grading his own
tobacco well before bringing Il TO
the receiving station. we publish the
following from the official graders:
ITO The Members o. the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Associ-
atom"
Please allow Us 10 make the fol-
lowing suggestion: Go carefully thru
your bulks Of tobacco and lay out
each grade 10 itself. and then 20 thru
each grade Of these piles and take out
the hands that do not belong in that
grade. Get your tobacco in the very
best shape possible before bringing
il TO the receiving station. Be par
tieularly careful about sprinkling, for
We are having trouble with wet to-
baeeo. Keep all green tobacco to
Itself. This will mean money to you
for we can give you a better grade
On properly handled tobaeeos Tryl
Z and you will be well paid for your
.rouble.
BY all means bring il in on the
lticks."
Yours for service.

How Pope IL Elected.
When the Pope is buried a ea,a-
falque is erected in the center nave
Of ST. Peters and absolution pro-
nouneed in the usual way by four
Cardinals.
Nearly all Of the officials Of the
Vatican lose their offices with the
death Of the Pope. The College Of
Cardinals. in a series Of sessions, Sc
leets provisional officials. and II takes
them nine days to complete the task.
In the days Of the temporal power Of
the Papaey they formerly put in the
second day choosing municipal offici-
ais for the city Of Rome.
The electing Of the Pope is con-
Quoted with every safeguard against
outer interference. During the per-
iod Of the Conclave every door Of the
Vatican is guarded, and no one is per-
mitted 20 approach without a permit
bearing the soda vacanite seal Of the
Sacred College Of Cardinals.
Should a Cardinal. through illness,
be compelled to leave the Vatican
during the period Of the Conclave. he
is not permitted to return. Each
Cardinal is provided with n throne,
which he occupies during a Conelave.
A canopy Is arranged over the head
Of each Cardinal Before each
throne is placed a table Of about one
yard in length with a silver inkstand
and all the paper necessary to writ
ing "a little candlestiek, a box Of
matches and two sticks Of sealing
wax.
The ballots are taken each day,
one in the morning and the other in
the afternoon. Each Cardinal writes
the name Of his choice and his own
on a slip Of paper. which is sealed
and placed in a closed wooden chal-
ice.
When the votes have been Tailed
and il appears that no one has re-
ceived the necessary two-thirds Of
the total the ballots are placed in a
brazier at NE back Of the altar, to-
gether with a quantity Of straw.
This brazier opens into a chimney
passing TO the facade Of St. Peters.
The burning Of the ballots and straw
causes a dense smoke TO issue from
this chimney and the waiting popu-
lace outside is thus appraised that
there has been no election.
When Pope is chosen. he is asked,
first, IL he will accept the election,
then, what name he viii bear. The
public announcement Of the election
is made from the loggia by the name
Of the one chosen, and the pontifical
name he has selected.
Though none but Cardinal is ever
chosen Pope, and has not been for
some centuries, any Catholic, lar or
cleric, is eligible.
As soon as the newly. elected Pope
has selected his name. the balachinos
or eanopies over the thrones are low
cred. their sovereign Jurisdiction re-
naming up is that Of the new Pope.
The new head Of the Church is now
conducted into little room TO as
sumo the white Papal eassock. He
then takes his place in an arm chair
on the step Of the altar. All the
Cardinals come to bend their knees
in sign Of homage and obedience and
kiss the hand and eheet Of the new
Pope.

would seem that any legislature seriously
inclined to reduce state expenses and
taxes might make material reductions in
some of these items. But the probabili-

more money and, in a majority of the
