selling price of tobacco. The

Paulkner of King's Creek, who
filed claims for exemption from
army service with the district
board, on industrial grounds,
and whose claims have been overruled,
have appealed to Presi- 1
dent Wilson from the ruling of '
of the district board. Under the
regulations, this* appeal does not
act as a stay against their being
sent to a training camp, and in
the opinion of those best informed
in the procedure there is
very little probability that the
appeal will reach the president's
attention, to say nothing of the
possibility of the district board
being overruled.

Foresight Made Him Rich..
One docs not havo to hvein a large
town to find an opportunity to make a
fortune. The opportunities are everywhere.
It is only the man with his
eyes open who sees them. Druggist,
Dimmitt of Rochester, Mo., who remembered
the demand for quinine dur- j
lng the Civil war. had his eyes open,'
for he bought 10,000 ounces of quinine
a little more than a year ago at 14
cents an ounce. Ills judgment proved
correct, for the quinine that cost him
$1,400 is now worth $25,000, and It may
go higher.
He has had nothing to do with increasing
the price. It is the demand
that is putting it up. A philanthropist
might argue that it is a crime to make
money out of the necessities of the
sick; but philanthropists who refuse
to turn an honest penny when the op
portunfty offers are few and far between.
Some of them do not indulge
in philanthropy as a recreation until
they have accumulated a large surplus
. by squeezing the lust cent of profit
from every transaction. In the meantime
the Dlmmitts of big towns and
little ones are doing their best to qualify
themselves for behevolence by
making hay while death wields the
scythe.
