TODAY,s DOLLAR COMPLEX

From the Richmond Times-Dispateh.
Yuh know what we can't under
stand? It's how a poor man keeps
track of his money.
Take. for instance. a feilah making
$50 a week and paying $50 month
rent In the old days when eX-
perts used to tell folks how. to bal
ance their resources. weeks salary
was budgeted as a months rent. III
a fellah made $40 a week, he should
nav SEQ a month rent But these days
If he makes $50 a week and suggests
$50 a month to any old landlord. what
happens? l mean. after he gets
kicked out?
first-class sirloin for IL cents a
pound. and at that time a reasonable
apartment was obtainable at $50 a
month. Today the sameI steak is 5O
cents a pound. or at the cut-rate
shops AZ cents. So a fellah's STEAK
cents. When dollars only worth sc
cents to buy a steak, and about the
same 30 cents to rent an apartment,
and when fellah gets $50 instead of $40
a week, which is 90 per cent increase
in wages as against 800 per cent in
A fellah gets $3.50 instead Of a dollar
and pays SO instead of a dollar, and
These millionaire types have secre-
taries to figure things out for them
and keep their check stubs and
things. But a poor man has to figure
it out for himself. If he isn't a pred
atory millionaire or a $12-a-day union
, workingman, then he's one of these
helpless middle class persons, and he
just wabbles along between the Big
Little Man and the Little Big Man
and gets kicked on both sides.
But that amt it, What we bother
about again Is: How can a poor man
keep track of his money? That Is. his
surplus as it were. He can't He just
loses it through a hole in the pocket OF
the same pants he was wearing in 1919

BALTIMORE. Nd. October l2-
Maryland's 1922 tobacco crop, the last
of which is now being shipped out.
will surpass the 1921 crop in bulk by
nearly 10000 hogsheads. according to
George I. Gardiner. secretary of the
Maryland State Tobacco Growers AS
Sociation.
Mr.. Gardiner said the growers of
southern Maryland, despite poor Iabo..
conditions. will come out well on the
crop financially.
Up to date, he declared. 27C00 hogs
heads of the local leaf has been
housed in the tobacco warehouse the
greater part of which has been sold
and shipped at prices from 20 81
cents a pound. He said there prob
ably will be between 1000 and 5000
hogsheads brought into the ware
house and shipped before the season
is over. The 1921 crop net:ed the
growers only $4,000 hogsheads.
Mr.. Gardiner said the 1929 crop,
which is now being put into the barn,
probably will be less than the 1922
crop. He figures it will not exceed
10000 hogsheads.
The best grades of the tobacco were
sold in America for cigarette use The
other grades were shipped to Ger
many, Holland and France. Germany
took the lowest grades.

1888. Then follows a story of
Masonry during the days when the

temple

through it business manager. Capt.
George II. Evans, that the action was
taken to protect the Washington Eir-
ginia railroad, which he declares has
been running at a loss for several
years. 1t is believed that if more
competition is allowed this road may
be forced into the hands of the re-
ceivers and Alexandria would be de-
prived of one of it's greatest assets.
Such great crowds attended the
final night of the Alexandria trades
exhibit last night that many had to
be turned away. The big hall was
packed by more than 1000 people.
The prize of the night was won by

ROCKVILLE, Mr.. October H.
About o'clock this morning the

a short time was burned to the
ground. The Rockville volunteer fire.
men, who had just returned from a
fire at Brookeville. were promptly on
the scene, but, because of the infiam-
able character of the frame building,
were unable to do anything toward
saving the structure, so they concen-
trated their efforts on preventing the
flames from spreading to other fair
ground buildings, in which they were
successful.
AS several frame buildings seventy
five yards away and in the direction
the wind was blowing. were consider
cd in danger, the volunteer fire COM
panies at Kensington and Silver
Spring were telephoned for. They
responded promptly and remained on
the scene until all danger of further
trouble had passed. Notwithstanding G
The hour, virtually all of Rockville
and vicinity turned out to watch the
big blaze.
\ portion of the building was old,
having been built something like
} sixty years ago. and was botn un-
slightly and untitled for the purposes
tor which it was used, but the front
was comparatively new and in good
condition. The loss is placed at about
$4,000 and is partially covered by IN
surance. The destruction of the hall
caused few, If any. regrets, rs it
means the erection of a more modern
structure, the need of which has long
been felt.
The fire at Brookeville started at 10
o'clock last night, and resulted in the
total destruction of the store building
"f Henry Howard. adjoining the
Howard residence. The building had
not been used for store purposes since
two years ago, when Mr.. Howard re-
tired from the mercantile business,
but was used by Mr.. Howard as a
workshop. 1t was worth about $4,000
and was insured.
Quick Run Made.
Although Brookeville is ten miles
from Rockville. the Rockville firemen
were there within twenty minutes
after being notified. The fire. how
ever, had gained such neadway that
building, but they and a bucket bri-
sade, formed of citizens of the COM
munity, prevented the flames from
spreading to nearby property and
wping out a large portion of the
little village.

firemen helped fight the fire which
