Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN. WIS.,. May l2, 1922.

EDGERToN. WIS.,. May IL, 1922.
When Mr.. Mayer of the General CT
gar company visited Wisconsin last
week, It was expected that some old
cigar leaf would change hands, but it
was not until The Reporter office called
the Eckhardt Tobacco company, Viro-
qua, over the phone last Monday that
the surmises became interesting topics
of discussion along the southern Wis
consin tobacco row. Mr.. Eckhardt
ended the suspense by giving out that
his firm had sold Mr.. Mayer for the
General Cigar company the 1920 Eek
hardt packing of approximately 100
cases. There may be other revelations
later, but this is the first big tobacco
news in the state in many month.
The packing sold is held to be one of
high merit.
The BIS of the Stoughton Equity 1918
packing were sold recently to Weddles
Bros, Chicago. The deal involved be-
tween 200 and 800 boxes. The tobacco
is rehandled at the Stoughton ware
house.
Leaf firms are continuing their quest
for decent binders held by the growers
both in the northern and southern coun-
ties. The buying is not eager. but per-
sistent, though conservative in the
prices offered. Five or six of the local
warehouses will have work through the
month of May, and it would not sur
prise anyone if some of them will be
running through the entire month of
June. Thus the 1921 crop, uneven
though it was, stands a pretty fair
chance of being in the stemmers' bins
and the packers storage before the
1922 spreads its billowy verdure over
the Wisconsin acres.
The seed beds are doing as well as
can be expected considering the slow
ness of the climate and the chill still in.
the ground. There is no need to Worry
on this score. There is ample time for
plants to be ready for some June set
ting. and the driving weather now on
is welcome.
1t is reported that Mr.. Gary of Mad
ison will continue the experiment with
Shadegrown also this summer.

LANCASTER. Pa, April 26, 1925

LANCASTER, Pa, April rs, 1922.
The end of this month will see the
final cleanup of the entire Lancaster
crop of 1921 tobacco. That portion OF
the crop that now remains unsold, and
which is, perhaps, less than Is per cent
of the entire output of the County, will
now go either to small brokers who will
take final flier in the leaf or go di-
rectly to the five cooperative farmers
packing associations, all of which are
now doing rushing business. Early
this week some of the local brokers
went into the fields for final try at
small holdings and they succeeded in get
ing few that had been held on to for a
rising market, which did not come. The
final prices paid were on par with the
figures that have prevailed since the
opening of the season. j Journal.

NEW Onnt "A PIAI %, 1OZI.
There is a certain tranquility in most
quarters of the cigar leaf market these
days that is to say. tranquility of at
titude both toward what is and what is
likely to be, if you get what we mean.
For instance, collections are improving;
that's good sign. As a result there is
considerably less of restraint in the
matter of granting credits and almost
simultaneously there has been manif-
ested an accompanying toning up in de-
msnd. There is less pickering than
there mas been and such offers as are
being made for first class tobacco are
beginning to wear the earmarks of gen.
uineness. Sizing the situation up as a
whole, it does not seem at all impossible
that there may be marked improve
ment in most phases of the raw mater
ial market before the expiration of an
other two months.-Leaf.

HARTFORD, CT., April 26, 1922

HARTFORD, CT., April 26, 1922.
No evidence has yet been brought
forward to prove that tobacco buyers
in East Hartford are attempting to con-
tract with growers for the 1922 crop in
an effort to block the plans of the pro-
posed Connecticut Valley Tobacco Grow
ers' Association. It has been rumored
that the buyers have taken this method
to hurt the growers.
Most of the growers have little re-
gard for this alleged plan Of the buyers
to sign up for the 1922 crop because the
1921 crop is only partly sold and some
of the 1920 product is still on hand
Buying is practically at a standstill
and what few crops are sold from week
to week are sold at price hardly high
enough to pay exposes to start the 1922
crop. journal.

Between
Ourselves

They say that in the Spring
a young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts Of love. So
he does the natural thing and
falls in love.
But see what happens.
After a while the madness
that once made their hearts
beat fast and their cheeks
flush happily departs. They
no longer whisper silly non
sense TO each other.
A wife's love may mani
fest itself as an anxiety con-
corning overshoes in damp
weather-or buttons missing
from a shirt front. And a
husband may forget birthdays
and wedding anniversaries.
But there is between them
unquestioned harmony and
devotion.
II in the twilight Of the
evening when the days work
is finished the wife settles
down into an easy chair and
asks, "Do you love me,
Billy?" he may not roll his
eyes heavenward and call the
gods to witness that his heart
beats for her alone.
Very probably he will say,
"Sure, Nike"

In January. 1892, the House of
Representatives was petitioned to
repeal this law. The petition was
bitterly opposed by Samuel
Adams. Benjamin Austin and
other prominent men. In spite
of this a number of well-known
citizens formed an association for
the promotion Of the drama in
Boston. Ground was purchased
and a building erected In Broad
alley. near Hawley street. 1t had
a seating capacity of 500 and was
called THE New Exhibition
Room" On Thursday. August Is.
1892, the theater was opened with
a vaudeville performance.
Entertainments were given for
several weeks in open defiance Of
the law. The sheriff was on the
job, however. and one night, dur
ing a performance of THE School
for Scandal" he showed up and
arrested every person he could
lay his hands on. The perform
ers were tried in Faneuil Hall.
and public opinion was so favor
able to them that they were re-
leased.
They reopened the theater, and
