EAST INDIA TOBACCO PLANTING IS PROFITABLE Crops Sold at More Than Double the \ Average Price Recorded The Ha, Netherlands, Aug. 81— Enormous dividend are expected to be declared by the Netherlands East In- dian tobacco - planting companies. Many of the leading companies have already sold their entire crop in a number of cases at double and more than double the average price record- ed last year. So great is the tobac- co hunger that fabulous prices have been paid for the most inferior sorts, even for almost unworkable material, The result is that for a long time past tobacco has been arriving in Holland from countries which never before sent to the Dutch market, or only in ve small quantities. It came from Africa, British India, North and South America, Ireland—until at last the British government notified the Neth- erlands Oversea Trust that in future all tobacco save that fro mthe Neth- erlands Fast Indies must. be consigned to the Trust which means it must not be exported to enemy countries Suffield.—Clifford Payton of North Castle, N, Y., a student last year at the Suffield echool and a prospective heir to $250,000, has been missing since June 28, and a widespread search is being made for him. Young Payton, who is about 15, attended.the Suffield school last year and was booked to return this September. He.was pre- paring for Yale. He was sent to Suffield by his grandmother, and was well liked by Suffield school boys and teachers.
