Ohio
DAYTON, O.. Oct. II. 1922.


With farmers receiving the highest
prices ever paid within recent years for
Spanish filters and with this grade of
tobacco becoming increasingly hard to
get, the future of the cigar trade in the
Ohio valley became the subject of con-
siderable discussion among the tobacco
dealers in Dayton and vicinity during
the past week.
At present Spanish filler grade of to-
bacco is bringing as much as Il. cents a
pound on the open market which is re-
garded as the highest price paid for
some time for this grade. Practically
all of the 1921 crop of this tobacco has
been bought up, and because farmers
found it more to their advantage to.
raise the higher priced plants, such as
Dutch and Gebhardts, comparatively
few Spanish plants were sown this
season.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Editor, Bemidji :Pioneer:-.- 3~ol11H
I want to express my entire acaplescence y
Peter Krogseng's opinion of the lever agreed upon
for Red :lake-1,174 is too high, and VIII pc OF
practically no benefit to settlers Along the lake, OF
along sluggish streams emptyng into the lake, such
as Blackjack and Tamorac. 81 =, :,
] have already written c. G. Selvig Of Crook
ston and Representative H. Knutson about the mat
ter But unless a lot of noise IS made we can
look for no benefits above the outlet: 1t seems
perfectly clear that the real object in dredging the
outlet and building controlling dam, was to re-
leve the farmers along Red Lake river and provide
steady waterpower for the industrial interest ana
to use Red lake as reservoir for that purpose
Regardless Of what the results would pc to people
along the lakes and rivers above the DAM
have lived on the north shore Of Upper Red lake
since September, 1908-was the first settler west
of the Tamorac river-and I know something OF
what is needed here. If we cannot get our land
dry enough to put into crop, might as we'll be LETT
as it is and save the cost to us.
One thousand - one hundred and seventy-three
1,173) feet should be the highest the lake should
be allowed to rise. Even then, strong winds from
the lake will bring it up to a point where 1t will
not do us any good, to say the least.
The people along the lake have been taxed to
the extent of $500 and more an acre for bitches
to drain the surrounding county, with the result
that we are flooded much worse than formerly
because of the fact that the bitches rush the water
into the lake much faster than before, the lake
raises that much higher. And now if we are to be
assessed for "benefts,'' we want value received
and will insist upon it to the last ditch

NEAR EAST: RELIEF

For nearly a decade Of years, each annual
Easter morn in America has Brought with it some
appeal in the name Of hungry and suffering hui
mainly, some reminder that there is 4 less fortu-
nate nation looking to America for the necessary
means of mere existence. . = ,,--...
This year, although the war is more than three
years distant the aftermath Of poverty and hunger
which it left in its wake still lays an, obligation
upon the more fortunate of the Christian nations
to continue their work of mercy and relief. The
Armenians, whose suferings have been htany of
sorrow in the ears of the world for six years. make
another appeal to American generosity and COM
passion at this Easter tide for relief from their
alleviated distress. Armenia is still the refugee
among Christian nations the heroic efforts of her
people to rehabilitate their country having been
defeated by the unchecked invasions of the Turks,
Kurds and Tartars, who, last year, not only robbed
the Armenans of their surplus food and their farm
implements and animals, but also prevented the
cultivation of the lard in all but few. isolated
districts. .:
The appeal this year is in the name of the Ar
menian orphans, 900 Of whom are being cared
for by the American Near East Relief committee
in 176 erpianages. Their need is particularly ur-
gent right now, because the national committee has
been compelled to cut its appropriations rs per
cent. Unless that shortage is made up by addi-
