The Tobacco Market:
Prices Satisfactory
Winston Sentinel, 25th.
That the tobacco market is
only slightly, if at all. affected -
by the European war is the evi
dence of the daily sales being
made on the local market. All
Ihe buyers for home and foreign
concerns are on the market with
t exception of those of the Im
perial Tobacco Company and they
vv.li be represented within a few
days. Thev are expected to be
gin buying October 1. Yester
day Mr. E. W. Dixon, buyer for
1 he Imperial, was asked what his
company's attitude is toward the
local market, and he responded
1 hat they would beun the market,
though he is unable to say just
when operatiors will begin. Mr.
l> >:on stated that the com
pany has just completed a large
edition to its ordering plant in
1 his city and that tiiey exnect to
fid it up with the weed: certainly
Ihey are not going to allow it to
be idle, he said.
With reference to the tobacco
market a local tobacconist stated
this morning that there is no
difference between prices of
good tobacco this season and last
neason, and that lower grades'
are believed to be selling better
i r .is year than last year. Farm
ers generally concede that
there will be no change
in the price of good leaf,
ur. i they complain only about the
s.vrtness of the crop and the bad
i ,fe.:ty. Much of the weed is
% -ten r nver.ed I rematurtly be
c:. .«e of the dro ight.
!:.is rep>rt compared with the
if..•:« attending the prices in the
* right tobacco belt, where prices
uec.ined to a point of closing the
iv.f.r.-K-ts, has caused those who
have teen watching the local tu-
Lr.c:o market to proceed with
i r.li'ience in .the conduct of their
business and it is evident that
conditions are rapidly becoming
normal in this section, and that
progress will continue as i.i the
months past.
Destroying Oxygen.
F.'ame, as your child will teil
you, is fed on oxygen. That's
both physics and chemistry.
Take away the oxygen and the
flame dies—just as a rat dies in
an atmosphere of burnt oxygen
(dioxygen, the chemists call it).
This short lesson in physics is
simply to illustrate the function
of the chemical extinguisher. It
squirts out a compound that de
stroys oxygen and hence destroys
the food on which the flame feeds.
The contents of a JJ-gallon liquid
extinguisher are equal to 110
gallons of water. !■
THE FLY PROBLEM.
Country Women Should
Remember That Flies are
Even More Dangerous
In the Country Than In
Tow n.
I have grown a little sensi
tive." one friend writes, "about
people talking to us country
women about flies. 1 do not
hear city women talked to when
I go to visit in town. One
would think tiies were more
wicked in country than in town."
I think you are mistaken sister,
about city women not being
taltced to. Their clubs have
persistent lectures on every
phase of health and the news
papers are constantly reminding
them of their failing. More
over. if the town women were
half as careless as many country
people the policemen would come
around and take her to jail.
Because the country woman
must be her own sanitarv in
spector she ought to be glad to
be reminded of those things
which concern the health of
those she leves.
In town the breeding places i
are few because of the presence
of plumbing and the absence
of pig pens, piles of manure. 1
etc. So also are there few places
where flies can cover themselves
with disease germs.
As a matter of fact, flies are
more dangerous in country than
in city for the above reasons and
• because the stable fly, which
is very common in the country,
is little found in town, and it.
you know, is suspected of carry
ing infantile paralysis.
Let us not be sensitive: let us
be alert instead. Progressive

Carroll Voted "Dry"
M Patrick "Wet."
j
Mt. Airy. Sept. 23. Hillsville.
Ya.. court is in session this week j
and is attracting large crowds
owing to the importance ofl
several cases to be tried. There!
is a murder case and alleged
violators of the liquor laws to be 1
tried, among them prominent |
and wealthy citizens. The case i
against Cleve Belton of this city
charged with killing a negro
some time ago has been postponed j
on account of the absence from j
the state of important witnesses.
He renewed his bond for his:
appearance at next term.
I On yesterday, Carroll and Pat
rick, two border Virginia coun
ties, evened up in the prohibition '
election. The former voted dry,
while the latter voted wet. The |
majorities were about the same,
something like three hundred.
Chestnuts are now coming on
this market, and readily bring
six cents a pound. Compared
with last year ther3 will be
about half a crop but the crop
was unusually large last season.
The cattle that are now being
offered here are unusually tine
and this fall promises to be a
record breaker for fat cattle.
The iate summer pastures have
been very productive and more
than compensated for the early I
summer drought. There will be
an increase over last year in
cat'le production.
To trive some idea of the large!
crop of apples in this section, j
one orchard alone, the Coveland,'
will gather :!'i,('o(i bushels this i
season. The managers have
leased a large pack house in this
city from whence they will handle
and ship their crop.
The farmer is going to be
made the goat in every business
turn that results from the
European war if he persists in
fighting his battle singlehanded.
The farmer who can't be organ
ized is going to get it in the neck
this time, sure.
About three-fourths of the to
bacco crop has been cut cr prim
ed at this writing. i
MB IK OK THE FARM
How One County High School Is
Training and Holding Them.
In IJK»7 our school was just a
common one-teacher school, and
when the children finished the
seventh grade here thev would
have to go off to school some
where else to continue their
education, and in this way the
community lost soma of its best
material. This must be stopped,
the settlement knew. So the
idea of a high school prevailed.
A new schoolhouse was built
near where the old
was a large and well ventilated
building: the old desks were
abolished and now onc put in
their places: a library was
bought, and though it only had a
small number of books at lirst,
these are being added to. 0::e
man gave to the library a com
plete set of t'.ie Encyclopedia
Brit tanica and a lady gave a set
of .-Esop's Fables.
The school boundary has been '
extended, thus increasing largely
the number of children in the
district.
1 For the support of the three
teachers now employed a special
tax is levied on the people of the
district.
All grades up to the eleventh
are taught in this school and it
draws seholais from other dis
tricts.

Pump Is Safer Than Open Well.
A few years ago we used to be
inclined to believe that a great
lot of our pollution of wells went
through the ground, "Mr.
Warren H. Booker of the North
Carolina Board of Health writes
us : "Now, we are coming to
change our minds and we l>elieve
that a great source of difficulty
with these open wells is on
account of people carrying filth
ion their boots and shoes and
I washing it off on the well
| platform nearby, and then
' rinsing it back into the well by j
means of waste water or by I
t means of actual contact with the
bucket or rop2 and human hands
,and lips.
Another nvanv f polluting;
our farm wil,s L- uy means of i
i dust, dirt, trash, insects, etc., j
; getting in at the open top. The!
health officers are coming to
believe now that by all odds the
i greatest protection to ordinary
farm wells is to close the top up
tight and install a pump and
i trough. This protects the top of,
the well ar.d carries the waste
water away so that there is
much less danger than we form
erly thought there was by
pollution reaching the well after
traveling through fiom twenty
five to one hundred feet of
soil."
Sweetheart Of Claude
Ullen Marries Another
When Claude Allen was being
tried for his life in Virginia along
with the Allen gang, there was
a little browneyed girl named
Nellie Wissler who was always in
evidence. She loved Claude and
was engaged to marry him, and
all agreed that she loved him
j with all her heart. Devoted to
the last minute and still devoted
after he had been sent to the
death cell—wearing the widow's
j weeds for him the day after he
was electrocuted people wonder-1
ied how long she would be true toj
his memory. The other day she
was married to J Victor Bowman, j
of Coal wood, Va., and while she;
i remembers Claude as Claude used
to appear she doubtless thought I
there was no use remaining true
1 to a man in the other world while
j there were so many good fellows
jin this. Th± hope is that
j Nellie is happy and that she
thinks of Claude as a might
have been instead of a had been.
