Many CVwt ItAlInta In Spite of the Inclement WwUlicr Iluilgci Will Probahly Bo Adhered U Closely Credit Is Good. (Prom Saturdays Dalty) Establishing onco again Demi's fi nancial credit, votors of this city passed tho $27,640 tax lssuo at tho spoclal olootlon yesterday. Two hun drod and clghtr-five ballots wore cast In favor ot tho measure and 141 against It. Had tho tax taltod for tho second tlmo, city officials aro ot tho opinion that an occupational tax would havo boon inevitable. This would hayo beon unfair to tho pooplo ot Bond, In that thoso non-roaluent proporty own ers would not have been Included. A mooting ot tho city council was called last night as soon as tho ballots had iboen counted, at which tho re turns woro canvassed and tho results certified to tho assessor. It la apparont that tho budget pre pared a short tlmo ago will bo fol lowed exactly. A resolution passed at a recont mooting of tho council provides that each department cut expenses and adhere closely to tho figures on which tho tax was based. As soon as tho amount specified for ono purpose is used up, tho year will either bo terminated or that depart ment will ccaso activity until mora monoy can bo procured from tho next allowance. Despite tho snow much Interest was evinced in tho election, many women even coming out to cast their vote. Thoso composing tho board in charge of tho polling place were E. D.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER For a Ood many years The American Tobacco Company have been conducting a series of experiments .having as their object the improvement of smoking tobaccos. And it Is interesting to know that, one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest, and that was, that cooking or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just as cooking most foods improves them. They took a real Burley tobacco, grown in this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened It to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; made it into cigarettes, called them "LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette," and offered them to the public. The result has been the greatest demand ever created for any tobacco product in a similar length of time. . The change produced by toasting is not only most wholesome, but the flavor is greatly improved, Just as cooking improves meat, for example. Adv. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS AND WAR Drawings Qlve Leaders a Comprehen slve View of the Important Geographic Relations. It has boon said that ninny of tho battles of tho Civil war would never have been fought had thcro been topo graphic maps, for those In command could have studied n map of tho coun try about them and they would never have subjected their men to such marches as were tuado and then have expected their men to fight, states a student of military engineering. But topography in Its general sense and us It Is shown today on the map ot tho geological survey was little known In tho sixties. The engineer corps of tho army was highly elllclent, even nt that time, but tho topographic engineer did not appear In tho American army until August 0, 1S01, when nn act of con gress authorized the enlistment of ono company of topographic engineers. This company was afterward merged Into tho corps of engineers. Today within tho wide boundaries of our country, which embraces more than 8,000,000 square miles, thero aro a hun dred million people. They llr on farms. In villages and In towns and cities. Their dwelling places may be separated by broad rivers and rugged mountains, but the use of tho topo graphic map Is gradually knitting them systematically together, and at any time that this widespread popula tion may be required to move in con certed action for a common cause the topographic map will give the leaders a comprehensive view of tho geo graphic relations, so that the problem of moving can be solved more quickly and with better Judgment. The topo graphic map, It Is pointed out by ex perts of the survey, like the telephone and the typewriter, has becomo a ne cessity, and we wonder now how wo hnve ever done without It. The "man In the street" may have thought little of the vnlue of the work of the topographic engineer, and to hlra and others who have not considered the Importance of thnt work some il lustrations of Its value might be in teresting. A well-known nuthor, soldier and topographic engineer found tho topo graphic maps of the survey Indispensa ble In every branch of his work. By studying n country before going Into It ho became so familiar with the de tails of many Interesting features of which tho natives had never hqprd that his stories acquired a realism that could not have been Infused Into them had he dwelt In the country a lifetime. Again, 1R cents spent by n reclama tion engineer In connection with n private engineering project saved his company $3,000 and established a pro ject which would never have seemed posslblo had not the three topographic maps he purchased given him a com prehensive view of several hundred square miles of country, where the drainage problems are most Intricate and delicate. Many such examples are cited by officials of the survey. Need Parcel Post Facilities. One of the most urgent necessities In behalf of the American export trade with Paraguay is the establish ment of a largo parcel post system with this country, writes Consul Henry II. Balch, Asuncion. As there ure very few large distributing houses In Par aguay practically all the Important mercantile establishments Import their goods direct from the foreign mar kets, and as many of the orders are small or for goods thnt do not occupy much space the parcel post Is exten sively used by the average Paraguay an Importer. A good percentage of the large trado that Germany, England, and Prance had with this country at the beginning of the war wuh developed through tho parcel post system thnt those coun tries maintain with Paraguay. Mer chants frequently stnto that they would turn much of their trade to the United States which has hitherto gone to Europe if thero wero a parcel post convenience. In fact, parcel post or ders from the United States are rath er frequently received by Asuncion merchants through third parties lo cated in Buenos Aires. Holland's Foreign Trade. Tho "In- en Ultvoer" publishes the following analysis of Dutch for eign trado during the first half of 1017: The vnlue of the leading articles Imported Into Holland from Germany, or rather, of thoso nrtlcles which nro Included in tho official figures of tho central bureau of statistics ("Mnand stntlstlek vun den In- en Ultvoer en van het Kntrepotvorkeer"), In the first quarter of tho year was 23,305,107 flor ins (about $10,-100,000 at exchange of $0.41), and, In tho second quarter, 45, 21,000 florlnfl (about $18,607,000), a total of 70,040,713 florins In the first six months of 1017. The valuo of tho chief articles exported to Germany was 40,247,570 florins (about $20,101,500) In the first quarter and 02,841,202 flor ins (about $21,005,000) In the second, or 102,088,777 florins for tho half year. Thus, in the first quarter Holland sent almost twice us much to Germany an It received, but In tho second quarter the Import trudo with Germuny almost balanced the export trade. Record Year for Kingston, Consul Felix S. S. Johnson of King ston, Ontario, reports that on the basis pf business alreudy dono the declru-cd exports from that Cunadlun district to tho United States during the past cal endar year will approximate $5,000,000 in value, as contrasted with $2,434, 642 in 1010 and $1,288,281 in 1015. In 1010 Kingston hud an export trade with the United States of less thun $300,000. BROOKS PLANT STAMPS THRIFT CAMPAIGN HAH G(H)I) HTAUT UNDKH DIHUCTION OF MANAGER KKYES COMPKTI. TION IS KKKN.
