(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. Oil

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.

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.
