Feb. 21. Now that the l16 tobacco crop of Lancaster County has been sold, .It Is possible to form a fair cstlmato of the amount of ready inonev It has put into tho pocket of the Lancaster County farmer who grows tobacco, whether doing tho work with his family and "help," or on the "cropper" system. This system requires the farmer to furnish the land, while the "cropper" does the cultivation on halves. While no census of the acreage In tobacco was made. It Is believed that 20,000 acres were In tobacco In 1916, nnd the average yield per acre was 1200 pounds of wrapper and 300 pounds of fillers. Karly estimates of the value of the crop when the tobacco was selling nt twelo und thirteen cents a pound placed It at approximately 11,000,000, but as the price soon Increased, the bulk of the crop selling at IB to 16 '4 cents a pound, the estimates rose to 15, 000,000. Hut a good deal of tho tobacco sold last brought eighteen to twenty cents a pound, so estimates have been made placing tho crop's value as high aa $G, 000,000. Hl'NDnnD MILLION DOLLAU COUNTY' Since the culture of tobacco first be came a recognized Industry in Lancaster County, nearly seventy years ago, It li believed that It has put Into the pockets of the farmers fully 1125,000,000, nnd It Is King Tobacco which has made Lancaster County a "Hundred Million Dollar County," as It Is often called. The last year has been one of the most rcmarknblo In the history of the tobacco Industry of the county Little more than a year ago the warehouses of Lancaster County were filled with millions of dollars of old tobacco, for which thero was no market, and the local packers sat around Idle In their ofllces because there was no business, and they nre sitting idle in their ofllces now. but for another reason. They hao no tobacco with which to trade If any buyers como around. Everything they had was sold during the last year. Old goods on the market nt largo began growing scarce for various reasons understood by tho trade, and then Lancaster was remem bered. Tho ngents of many outside concerns swooped down upon the city of. the ltcd Hose, nnd tho many thousands of cases of tobacco running back to the 1909 crop began disappearing as tho market became active." Prices went up, going to where they were a good many years ago. Hut of all the surprises the 1909 tobacco furnished the biggest. It had always had a black eye, even before It was cut, for It was grown under most unfavorable weather conditions It was of poor burning proper ties, and so strong that the most seasoned smoker wilted under It. It couldn't bo sold finally, at any price, until a little more than a year ago agents of foreign govern ments began buying it for the soldiers. It was fouiul that age Had given It proper ties It never had before. It had a burn and was not so strong. And it wns cheap; away down. There were then nt least 20. 000 cases In the local warehouses, and any body could buy all they wanted for the. six nnd seven cents a pound. When tho foreign agents began bujlng, presto! there came a change. Prices stif fened, and even when theso agents left the market prices continued going up. All kinds of old tobacco had become scarce, and cheap tobacco was scarcest. Hecauso they could not get this kind of leaf many of the smaller factories in the Ninth In ternal ltevenuo District, most of which nre In Lancaster and York -Counties, had tq shut down, nnd now the 1909 had Its In ning. Today only a few thousand cases, not oer 3000, are left in the packers' hands, and It has recently been selling for twenty cents a pound. The biggest prices now paid for the newer tobacco is for the 1915 goods, which nre up to thirty cents a yound. They are scarce, all holders arc asking thirty-two cents. Tho original packers paid the grow ers twelve cents a pound for that crop. POTATO MAY REPLACE "WEED" Interest now centers In the acreage of this year's crop, which a few months ago was expected to be a record-breaker. Now this Is doubtful, as so many growers of to bacco are expected to turn to potato plant ing. With tubers where they are now, and less trouble to raise than tobacco, It Is nat ural for the farmer to choose the po tato. And with the humble cabbage selling nt $125 a ton many farmers will turn that way, Instead of pinning their faith to to bacco. " FIFTY WORKMEN HURT XS TROLLEY OVERTURNS Doors Jammed Shut nnd Passengers on Way to Toledo Auto Factory Imprisoned TOLEDO. O.. Feb. 24. At lenst fifty out of a street car load of 108 workmen en route to, the Willys Overland automobile plant were injured today when tho car overturned. Several may die. The car overturned In such a position that the doors were Jammed shut. The tangled mass of human beings within fought, prayed and screamed In a dozen tongues as tlremen strove to force an open ing. They finally chopped holes In the roof to liberate the passengers. Every available inch of space had been taken when the car started. Several of thoso rescued were overcome from lack of air. 53d Street Theater Conveyed The moving-picture theatre nt the south west corner of Fifty-third street and Lans downe avenue was conveyed by Charles Cohen to John E.

Tho property Is assessed at J25, 000, and has a lot 173 feet on Fifty-third street by 66 feet on Lansdowne avenue, Police Court Chronicles A weird sound greeted the ears of a lone cop near Fourth and Mifflin streets. Was It a woman choking to death or a pig caught under a gate? The bluecoat did not know. He proceeded to Investi gate. Again the noise stirred the air. This time the qpp was BUre that it was a horse with a cold. But he continued on the .trail. Suddenly he discovered the cause. A man was sitting on the sidewalk In the shadow-of a step playing on the re mains of a bugle.. On close Inspection it was evident that the Instrument had seen better days. Long ugo It lost Its golden complexion. Its cheeks were now aMeep grjeen and Its constitution! was generally run down. , , The persevering musician gave one more blast as tho cop reached him. He gave the bluecoat the "lazy eye," "What's the idea?" asked, the policeman. "No Idea." resiled the stranger, "Juet want to keep In practice In case we go to war." He could not remember Just where he found' the bugle. He said he was Dan Mahoney. and on being brought before Magistrate Daker as serted that he would make a good soldier if he could get In condition.

Mr. Coolldge's book on the life of Ornnt comes to till the empty spot In the biog raphy of tho great soldier. Ho has squeezed Into 665 pages all the Incidents ot Grant's military and civil life with a keen sense of research, which goes to make of Coolldge's volume a pleasant nnd, In a way, novel book. And It Is worth reading now that we are living In a historical period, In which the "war 4f attrition," seemingly a German Invention In the present world crisis, is the talk of every military circle nil ocr the world.

Figures Well Used THE TIDE OF IMMianATION. Frank Julian VVarne. I). Appletnn & Co., New York ami Lonilon. Doctor Warne knews how to uso figures to their utmost nlue, and he does not hesi tate to employ these statistics in order to clinch his firm belief that Immigration must be reduced, no matter what evils may follow In the wake of an unintelligent and unfair exclusion law Since his book has appeared Congress has passed tho literacy test over the veto of President Wilson, so that tho author already has seen his ambition real ized. One Important point which the book es tabllshos Is that Immigration Ih Influenced almost entirely by economic reasons. Moral and spiritual onuses there are, but they aro Insignificant as compared to tho esserltlal factors of economics. Like the German economist who expounded tho economic In terpretation of history, Dr. Warne sees that the question of brVad nnd shelter Is the all-Important consideration In world devel opment. Hut unlike the German he does not appreciate the logical results which follow from this doctrine. Doctor Warne under stands the subject of immigration as an Isolated branch of the world's activities per fectly, but a rather unsound grasp of the entiro field of economics and a lack of Imagination leavo many of his deductions open to argument Hut as a book on Immigration It is excep tionally Interesting and Instructive. Doctor Warne visualizes his figures and other sta tistics until they mean more than cold print They really convey Impressions. The author spares no pains to flay the Importers of labor and other "Inducers of Immigration" whenever he has the oppor tunity. His whole regnrd is for the safety nnd future of American labor, but' when he says that It Is the native worker who de mands short hours nnd high pay and the immigrant who will work long hours nnd for a pittance, he mixes grades of labor in discriminately. For the Young Perhaps TUB STOltY OF THH UNIT!?!! STATUS Marie I.oulse Heritman. Frederick A. Htokea Corn pan, New York. Some day somebody Is going to write a history of a land, or a continent, or tho world, with a realization of the fact that, after all, the battles that, have. racked this particular land, or continent, or world, are not of prime Importance. Particularly is this true of histories written for the young er generation. In every essential detail Marie Louise Herdman has written her "The Story of the United States" (Frederick A. Stokes Company. New YorkVwithout any particular distinguishing trait. She tells of the days of discovery with a feeling for adventure that Is more vivid than ono finds In n text bdok ; she describes the various wars, from the earliest battles of conquest by tho territorial pioneers to the latest struggles by financial pioneers with faithfulness and with fine color. Hut still war Is glorified, conquest Is extolled, the rujhless prosecution of the "follow-the-flag" Idea Is depicted In all Its blatant ap peal. It Is especially unfortunate that this is the case with this volume, fdr the author states that It Is her expiess purpose to In terest young readers In the "development of our country." With her talents It seems Incredible that she should not be able to tell the children of the United Slates In a way that would hold their attention of the economic and social forces which led to the true development of our country, and not the wars which were but manifestations of the then existing conditions.
