A boot Tobacco. Fork, N; C., June 26, 191t>. Editor The Times, Louisbrug, N. C., Dear Sir: Forty-nTne years ago I began grow ing tobacco. A few years later I de cided that there were contain days bet ter than others on which to cut tobac co for it to cure up nicely and have a rich, "waxy," and heavy body. To find out the way to tell these dates, and to tell them ahead, has been . a hard job, but I was finally successful. To explain, let me say that tobacco has an oily substance, which is its natural possession. It has a sap Jwater) like other vegetation. When the sap rises it runs the oil out through the pore's of the leaves, on the principle that oil and water won't mix. apdjthe oil being the lighter, is pushed out by the sap. Tobacco cut in this state will be light and "chafTy". You see there is nothing but sap in the tobacco, and when, cured this sap is gone. It evaporates end leaves the tobacco light and worthless. But to cut tobacco when the sap is down and the oil has full sway, you can cure it up nicely and with p, heavy bddy it will be rich and "waxy." Tl\is happens because- the tobacco is full of oil, instead of sap, and the oil can't evaporate and remains in the tobacco to make it rich and heavy. It has been my experience that we must cut tobacco when there is oil in it if we expect to have oil in it when cured. Tor instance, you have experienced cutting one week and having excellent luck, and then cut a few. days later, probably off the same piece of ground,; and with riper tobacco, and have no luck at all. I shall be- pleased to answer any correspondence from tobacco growers who may want to write me, provided postage is sent fcr reply. Yours truly, D. V. DAVIS. Fork. N. C. bad to Have a ( old Hang On.

A story is going the rounds to the effect that the head of one of the de partments of the public service at Dal las. Texas, was asked by one of the young men in his cepartment for a raise in salary, whereupon the ambi tious young man wes told by the head of the department that ne did not de serve a raise for the simple reason that he had done no wors during the past year. And here is how the de partment proceeded to "prove" his a3 serton to the young man: "Each year has 3.65 oays. You sleep eight hours each day , which equals 122 days. This leaves days. ?You rest eight hours each day. which equals 122 days. This leaves 121 days. There are 52 Sundays that you do not work, or 52 days. This leaves 60 days. You have -one-balf off each Saturday, or 26 days. This leaves 60 days. You hftve one and a half hours each day for lunch, or 28 days. You get two weeks' vacation each year, or 14 days' This leaves one day, and this being the Fourth of July we close on that day. so you've t done no work at all." It is not stated if the young man was convnced by the foregoi ng'argd ments that he had really done no woVk during the year, but it is hard'y supposable that he was, although ne was confronted with a formidable ar ray of unanswerable facts. Even tho little school boys and girls should be able to detect- the flaws, m the linrof argument used on the young Dallas man. But il is'nt least interesting to have ourselves shown in this manner Just how we spend the years of life.? Henderson Gold Leaf. Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.

AtTM tonic, rot Si HARD TO ARGUE WITH WOMEH > '* Writer Anertt Her Lack of Concentric tion in Most Crfses Renders Any - ? Discussion Futile. In matters of argument man Is like the Italian brigand who robs the friar, then confesses and asks him for abso lution; woman Is the burglar unre pentant, asserts W. U George In At* lantlc Monthly. This may be due to woman as a rule having few (aid ing principles or Intellectual criteria. She often holds so many moral prin ciples that intellectual argument with her Irritates the crlsper male mind. But she finds" It difficult to retain a grasp upon a central idea, to clear away the si^e Issue; which obscure It. She can seldom carry an Idea to Its logical conclusion, passing from term to term; somewhere there Is a solu tion of continuity. For this reason ar guments with women, which have be gun with the latest musical play, eas ily pass on from Its alleged artistic merit to its costumes, their scanti ness, their undesirable scantiness, the need for Inspection, inspectors of thea ters, and little by little other inspect ors, until one gets to mining Inspect ors and possibly to mining in general. You will observe that these ideas are fairly well linked. All that hap pens ir that the woman, tiring of the central argument, has pursued each aide issue as it offered itself. This comes from a lack of concentration, which indisposes a woman to penetrate deeply Into a subject; she is not used to concentration, she doeB not like It. It might lead her to disagreeable dis coveries. ' . CAUSE OF EARTH TREMORS Investigations in South Africa Have Found They Are Traceable to the Work of Man. Mine owners in South Africa have, after investigating earth tremors in their districts, arrived at the definite conclusion that they are caused by lo cal cavings far underground in the mines, and are therefore directly traceable to the hand of man. It was found, upon comparing notes, that each shock consisted of a single sharp vibration. The committee has come to the conclusion that the shocks origi nate in this way: The removal of the reef o#er large areas throws the weight of. the superincumbent mass on tho-unexcavated portions or pillars. At a depth of 1,000 feet or over, these are unable to bear the weight and are crushed. If the crushing takes place suddenly a rock burst occurs, and the shock is transmitted to the surface. Though the effects^ of the rocjc burstB underground are sometimes disastrous, causing great 'loss of life and ^mage to the mine, the surface effects are in considerable, and the committee be lieves that, though the violence of the* tremors is likely to Increase, it will never be sufficiently great to Justify the apprehension of any disastrous ef- 1 fects. Technical advice is given as to the best methods of meeting the rock burst difficulty underground. Taking His Medicine. The prosperous looking young man walked briskly into the lunchroom, as -If he might be planning" to buy the whole menu as announced on the pasteboard placards around the wall ?but he didn't. He went to the water fountain and -filled a glass with water, and picked | up an empty one. The card over the fouptain said very plainly: "Please do not take glasses away." Maybe the young man couldn't read. Any way, he deliberately carried both glasses across the room, put a powder in the empty one. poured the water on it, poured the mixture back and forth several times, spilling part of it on the chair. Then he swallowed the mixture, making a wry face as If blaming the lunchroom for the way things tasted out of their glasses. He wa'^ed' out, leaving a wet chair and two dirty glasses, and it didn't seem that the lunchroom got much out of the teal ? except exercise! A Regular Boy. | "What's the use of spending money on a kid for , expensive mechanical toys an playthings?" asks Ruth Alex ander Pepple in the Erie Record. "A. few days ago I went past an Erie home wherw a real llvu yuuugnur Hvufl. UfT on the blue grass parking rested a gray automobile with rubber tires and patterned near as possible after a real model roadster. But the boy had a dilapidated old wopden box tied to a dirty rope, and In this box was a big rock. He was dragging it through the mud at the side of the road, and was having the time of his life and looking much happier than I have seen him look when all dolled up in immaculate I white guiding his automobile down the street. So I say, after all ? what's the use?" ? His Ideas of Government. Mrs. M.'s little boy is only six year* old, but his mother has tried to teach him some things about the govern ment. On Wsshington's birthday she was telling him about the first presi dent of this glorious commonwealth. "Where is Mr. Washington?" he asked. Then she explained that he was dead, and afterward he told hi* father that the government was dead. His mother then tried to explain to him that the government goes on, with the president in Mr. Washington's ?place. Shortly afterwards a man named Wilson moved next door, and when he was told who he was he ran to his mother and exclaimed, "Mother, there goes the government!"
