attended all but one Of the old
settlers picnics held at Dsnham
since they were started 10 years

Mr.. Harte spoke briefly on ths
value Of the Farm Bu~au or

said that farmers should unite
and work together 70 furthsr

He also emphasized the need Of
equal school opportunities for
all children whether they BE- in

Mr.. Harte also dwclt briefly on
transportation and said that the
farm bank should be made bet
ter for the farmer. Credits
should be extended more liberal

who tries to hew a home out of
the forest, he especially is the
one who needs help and not 10

The speaker also emphasized
the Importance of child welfare
work. He said that 299s of our
boys were not physically fit for
war service, and added that the
same percentage Of physical de-
fects holds true Of girls.
Mr.. Harte also spoke on the
value of the church and said that
anyone who does not respect it
| is not a good citizen. He ended
his talk by saying that boys and
girls are just AZ good today as
ever but that they should be
led right and it is up to us older
folks to do that.
Chairman Overom next called
on Representative l.. c. Petersen
from Askov. for a few remarks.
Mr.. Petersen said that M. Harte
had touched upon several of the
vital issues of the day one Of
which was the Farm Bureau or
ganization. This organization,
Mr. Petersen said. has done
much toward shaping beneficial
laws for the rural man both in
the various states and nationally.
and while there is room for much
Improvement it is an organiza-
tion that should be kept func-
tioning. The farmers should
have some organization to look
after their interests a. well a.
do the laborers. manufacturers,
business and professional men
and people in other walks Of
life. The members should stick
and better the organization.

Barring unforeseen damage from now
on, Connecticut Valley will house a
banner crop. At the Shade plantations
the plants are more than foot and a
half high and in little more than a
months time the first priming will take
place. The crop as whole looks fine,
being entirely free from calico, wild
fire and other diseases
There has been sufficient moisture
now to bring the crop safely through
the growing season.
State Street packers are doing fair
business with their selections of the
new as we'll as the old crops. Quite a
quantity of the new Broadleaf produc-
ton has been put through the works"
and it has come out in admirable fash
ion and is now being offered to the
trade with good results.
Interest has slackened some in the
new cooperative selling association,
but it is almost certain it will be form
ed with the required number before

LANCASTER, PA, July 6, 1922.

LANCASTER, Pa, July b, 1872.
The tobacco fields of Lancaster county
in recent years have not presented such
a varied appearance as they do at the
present time, says the Tobacco Journal,
and gives the reason:
Many seed beds, early in the season,
were found to be infected with wlldfire
and every plant was thrown out, under
the direction of the Lancaster County
Farm Bureau and Otto Olson, federal
and state expert, in charge of the to-
bacco experiments in Lancaster county.
It was then necessary to replant, with
the result that the farmer lost several
weeks Even at that, these growers
will come through in good shape, for
lately we have been having copious
rains and hot sunshine and the plants,
when set out, took hold on the earth
with vim and will show rapid growth.
1t is by no means too late for the to-
bacco to mature and be cut before the
frosts come and the farmers of every
section of the county are banking on a
big crop.
The acreage is about the same as in
former years. Last years crop proved
to be of excellent quality despite the
grumblings of men who had axes to
grind, and in the end some suffered by
the Misrepresentation made. The alle-
cations made against the crop proved
to be boomerang.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN. Wis. July 81, 1872.

EDGERToN. Wis. July 81, 1922.
The big downpour July 9Th has been
followed by gentle rains, warm days
and cool nights. 1t is ideal growing
weather for tobacco. This week opened
with sunshine and light breeze, making
the condition for work in the fields ex-
ceptionally fne The stand is equal to
the best that Wisconsin fields ever pre-
sented at this time of the year. The
market for old leaf in cases is main
tanning the interest developed during
the past weeks. There are still some
such lots in the hands of growers, and
they will be looked up and bought.
Where goodly percentage of binder
lengths are found the price is running
to 20 cents for the best, but less where
the shorter lengths are typical of the lot.
The 1921 packings are coming through
the sweat in good shape as general
thing. The binder cigar leaf contained
in the years crop.represents quantity
that may or may not meet the need of
the manufacturer. That matter hangs
upon the demand for cigars by the pub
lie. But in all events the amount of
binder leaf of desirable length in the
1921 crop is not likely to be drug upon
the market, and the quality promises
to be of nature to hold out hopes of a
fair return to the packers.
In the matter of "the pool" the man.
ayers of the campaign have given out
the information that Is per cent of the
1922 acreage is safely secured by sigma
lures to the five year contract, but ac-
curate figures cannot be had until after
August 1st as the door is open until
then for those who have not already
joined. More or less speculation is in
dulged in as to what will happen if the
pool becomes effective for handling the
1922 crop. Good judgment on the part
of the pool management and on the
part of the established private packers
will dictate course of procedure which
will bring the two interests together
for mutual benefit and for the good of
the tobacco industry in the state. Cool
heads and fair councils should be en-
ployed in order to distribute the burden
of this huge undertaking which repre-
sents financial, housing and a sales
proposition so comprehensive and seri-
Gus as to require the cooperation of
all men who by their performance in
years past have shown understanding
of the problems of financing. handling
and marketing tobacco. Constructive
and conservative business genius should
be capitalized for the good of every
body.

New YORK, July 8, 1922.

Editorially the Tobacco Journal says:
Even the interposition of weekend
holiday, extended into the middle of
this week by reason of the July 4th cell
ebration, has not served to slow up the
gradually increasing tide of business
which the leaf tobacco merchants have
been experiencing. Principal activity
has been manifested in Porto Rico, and
the new Java stocks have also been
largely depleted by the commitments
made by manufacturers specializing
this type of wrapper. In fact the de-
mand for all grades and types of sound
old tobaccos has continued, and the re-
ports from manufacturing centers are
that the demand will continue, owing
to the increasing rate of production.

OLD GUARD TAKES CHARGE
OF PINcHoT's cAMPAIG

The defeat of Clifford Pinchot at
the election of a Republican state
chairman in Pennsylvania when the
contractor ring ran a steam-roller
over his candidate and elected Harry
Baker, a Penrose henchman, to con-
duct the campaign, is concrete IL
lustration of the futility of any at
tempt Pinchot may make to put into
operation any progressive ideas or
plans in that reactionary boss-ridden
state.
But the worst feature of the affair
was the evident insincerity of Pin
chot himself in rushing up and con-
graduating Chairman Baker. Pin
chot would have no more chance for
success in the state house in Harris
burg surrounded by the bosses of
the Old Guard faction than President
Harding has success In the White
House surrounded by the Daughertys
and Falls and Denbys and New
berrys.

MODES VS.. MORALS DISCUSSED
IN NEW WARNER PHoToPLAY

Is an evening gown the garb of
degradation?
Without hesitation most of us
would say that it is not, but the stern
parent in "Why Girls Leave Home"
which will be shown at the Tabb on
Tuesday night, is firm in the belief
that it is sham and ingenious mode
of revealing the backs of women. In
direct contrast to this assertion An
ma Q. Nilsson, who is the featured
player in the screen play, contends
that there is nothing suggestive
about the evening gown, and that
furthermore it serves to make wo-
men more attractive in the eyes of
their admirers.
Practically all of a woman's life
is conferred on being attractive to
either her husband or intimate
friends" said Miss Nillson, smiling
demurely. Surely, If we take away
the right of a woman to look her
best, we rob her of the only poses
sion with which to hold her man.
But evening gowns are not to be de-
spised. In the picture my father
sternly objects to my wearing the
gown simply because he is an old
narrow-minded person
whose foresight has never gone be-
yond the four walls of his home"
In the picture with Miss Nillson
are many screen stars popular with
Mt. Sterling fans"

BOB BALLARD IN TROUBLE

Tuesday the town of Frenchburg
was thrown into a state of consterna.
ton when Bob Ballard entered an
automobile and proceeded to race
around the public square. Circuit
court was in session and when Judge
Henry r. Prewitt was informed of
Billiards. conduct he ordered the
sheriff to arrest him and bring him
before him. Ballard was indignant
and began cursing when the Judge
ordered him to jail under a fine of
$25. This increased the prisoners
wrath and the Judge gave him an
additional fine of $50 and 4S hours in
jail. Wednesday the prisoner had
sobered and was brought into court
and required to give peace bond of
$4,000 for a period of one year and,
failing to give bond, was returned
to jail.
The Jail prisoners were placed un-
der guard on the outside of the Jail
until Ballard returned to his normal
condition. Ballard is about q
years old, single and is an ex-ser-
vice man.
