GOING TO TAKE SHARP
 ADVANCE SOON

For the first time in the history of this country. with the possible exception of the Civil War period, retail prices Of cigars are going up
 That cigar smokers have enjoyc1 a half century of respite from price Ifluctuation is not because tho cost of production has remained station ary during all these years Oper ating expenses and the prices of raw materials have gone up and down, mostly up, in the cigar business, the same as in any other lusincss But there are two things T'!ch have tended to keep the retail prices of cigars uniform; first, because Of the fixed habits of paying nickel, six.for-a-Quarter, three-tora-quarter 10 cents straight. and so on up. for cigars, without any intermediate prices; and. second, because tobacco is generally classified as a luxury and not necessity.
 | These two circumstances have made both manufacturers and cigar store keepers loath to disturb the equanimity of the smoker during all these years, even though there have been many occasions when the clear manufacturing trade generally has found its yearly balance to be on the wrong side of the ledger.
 As far back as ten years ago the profit in cigar manufacturing had been reduced to such an extent that only the most sagacious operators found the business profitable. These | conditions continued progressively | and when the European War began, two and one-half years ago. the sit | nation became even more acute
 It is true that the great war has not materially increased the expor | tation of either Cuban or American | leaf tobacco to Europe. but it has advanced the cost of virtually every | element entering into cigar manu- featuring.
 Increased activity in other indus tries has made labor in the tobacco | growing districts scarce, and the price of labor unprecedentedly high. The wooden cases in which domestic tobacco is packed, the cheesecloth under which shadegrown tobacco is grown. fertilizers necessary to the soil. implements used in cultivation. etc. all have advanced. And in Cuba the great boom in sugar has divert ed agricuturalists to that industry and created shortage of good Ha- yana leaf
 The result is that all kinds of leaf tobacco used for cigar purposes in this country have gone skyward.
 Cigar manufacturers. therefore, are paving more for leaf tobacco than ever before in the history of the in' dustry. and. in addition to this. the price of cigar boxes. labels, workman ship and all other details of operat- ing have increased tremendously
 The upshot of it is that while even before the war began a large pro- portion of manufacturers were, ai the best. just about breaking ever on their investment, now they find themselves actually and almost with out exception playing losing game
 The ultimate consequence is that without any concerted or organized movement, cigar manufacturers ey- erywhere are either advancing prices on their cigars outright or are re- ducing the size of the various brands and shapes that they make.
 Whether or no, he will have to begin paying more for his fayorite brand of cigars now or if not now, in the near future.

0BERHOFFER IS A
BAvAR|AN ARTIST
Conductor of Minneapolis
SYMPHONY Has Been in
U. S. % Years.
Foregoes Visit to Europe;
Spends Summers Study
ing at Home.

Emil Oberhoffer conductor OF the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra.
which is to appear here April 29 un-
der auspices of the Hyechka club at
| the Convention hall, is a Bavarian by
birth, but has been resident of this
years. In manner, speech and thought
he is typfcally American. and. like all
great men, regardless OF nationality,
is progressive. Catholic in his tastes,
and exceedingly democratic in his in
tercourse with his fellow-men. Those
who know him well declare him the
most charming personality OF their
acquaintance, man OF real culture
and refinement, and one who can
talk on other subjects with the same
authority and knowledge with which
he can discuss music.
In the past Mr. Oberhoffer has
done, as so many of the prominent
conductors in this country do, gone
to Europe every summer with the
idea Of looking over the musical field
and seeking musical novelties. but
with each year he realizes more and
more that there was little need Of
this undertaking. as the large music
houses of New York and Boston were
able to supply him with the scores
Of new works as readily as they
could be secured in Europe. and. be-
sides. during the summer months
foreign orchestras of any importance
were inactive, Just as over here, thus
making 1t impossible to hear the new
music played. So last summer Mr..
Oberhoffer built Il charming summer
home on high hill overlooking two
Of Minnesota's beautiful lakes and
will now spend his vacations In peace
and comfort and study new scores
furnished by aforesaid New York i'm
porters at his leisure.
After all. among the new works
there are few Of lasting merit, fact
which even the public Is discovering,
as is proven by the ever-increasing
demand for known compositions
Of the great composers. classic and
modern.
Mr.. Oberhoffer's reputation as a
program maker Is well known, and
while the program for the concert
here has not been announced. 1t Is
certain to be Of the greatest interest
and attractiveness The advance sale
