NEW YORK. June %. 1916.

The enormous demand for tobacco
for export has sent buyers throughout
all the country districts, securing the
country for tobacco suited to their pur-
poses, and any old tobacco that meets

There are many indications that the
Manila cigar, as an article for Ameri-
can consumption, is about to be born
again. The most businesslike and sug-
gestive of these is that the United
States government has virtually lent
it's cooperation to the Manila manu-
facturers and exporters, even to the
extent of sending government en-
ployee from the Philippine Islands to
this country with instructions to lay
the foundation for campaign of pub
licity intended to make the Manila pro-
duct familiar to American dealers and
consumers. Another significant feat
ure is that government figures show
that the importation of Manila cigars
to the United States is steadily increas-
ing. In 1914 the United States took
So, sos, ,O35 cigars from the Philippine
Islands, and in 1915 it imported 81, $780,
021-an increase of z, 754, 986. The fig
ures for the first four months of 1916
have just been received from the inter-
nal revenue collector for the Philippine
Islands, and show total Importation
in January, February, March and April
of 27, 352, 789, as against "a, 235, 500 for
the same period in 1915-an increase in
favor of this year of 3,117,090. The
publicity and popularity campaign hav-
ing not yet been set under way, the
substantial gains last year and thus far
this year must be attributed to some
other cause than that Of advertising.
That the cigar industry of the Philip
pine Islands has profted by the mis-
takes made in its early endeayors to
Manila cigars IN this country
can no longer be doubted. 1t was
thought for a while that the archipel-
ago would never recover from the ter
rife blow it received as result Of i'm
petuous mismanagement that marked
the introduction of the goods here
shortly after the duty was removed.
But that it is recovering the figures
plainly show. Of course, the Manila
industry approaches the American trade
now with proposition entirely differ
ent from that of its first endeavor. The
manufacturers in Manila have virtually
given over complete supervision OF
their business to Uncle Sam. Stand
ards OF workmanship, cleanliness ard
tobacco quality have been liked and are
to under governmental dlrec-
ton. The peculiar requirements OF
American consumers have been studied
and are being catered to.-N. I. Leaf.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Z The transplanting of the new crop
has been pushed along rapidly during
the week with the result that almost
the intended acreage will be in the
fields by the close of the month. While
warmer days the present week have
caused some whiting of the plants and
possibly not quite as good stand will be
secured as in the earlier planting, there
is still enough moisture in the soil so
that much resetting may not be neces-
sary. There seems to be shortage of
plants in some localities because of the
loss in diversified plants and rottlng IN
the beds, but growers in every COM
munity that have finished are generally
able to supply the deficiency. The
shipment of plants by Rock county
growers in considerable quantities to
the northern districts has been made
where scarcity occurs. The early set
fields are looking fine and the outlook
generally seems to be quite promising
at this date.
**s
Mr.. j. B. Killibrew, government sta
tistical agent on tobacco, visited this
state during the week, coming direct
from the Connecticut valley, and brings
the information that the planting of
the new crop is not any farther along
in New England than it is in Wiscon--
sin. Unfavorable. weather during the
planting season has prevailed through,
out all the cigar leaf producing states.
AS the transplanting is usually COM
pleted two weeks or such matter in
advance of Wisconsin, there is but little
reason to complain of the conditions
here at home, especially SO when this
work promises to be finished in most
sections by the end of June which
comes with average date in this state.

The American Tobacco Co. believes
that every man in its employ subject
to military obligations should be safe
guarded to the fullest extent, both for
the present and the future, as the fol-
lowing order issued to department man
a,gcrs will show: ''It is our earnest
desire that all of our employees who
belong to military organizations af-
fected by the orders of the President,
the Secretary of War and the Govern
ors of their respective states, with ref
erence to the mobilization of troops on
account of the Mexican situation, re-
spond to such orders. We desire all of
such employees in making that response
to have the assurance, in the first
place that upon their return the posi-
tions they left will be waiting for them,
and in the second place that full sal
aries viii be paid during their absence
from their employment on account of
this, their performance of their patri-
otic duty. Please let all employees
affected know of your receipt of this
communication, and get from them di-
rections as to how payment shall be
made of their wages or salary during
their absence in the performance of
this, their country's service. !"

NEW YORK, Dexs 29.-A gigan- tic railroad strike is now looming up very dark notwithstanding the Adamson law, but over the failure to enforce the law which will be held, it is said, in abeyance until judicial decision is rendered upon it's validity.
 The brotherhood chiefs went into today in this city and after it's con- clusion announced that they con- templated placing the situation be- fore the men.
 The president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen says that the

 The leaders of the railroad broth erhoods apparently fear that litiga- tion may be endlesly delayed and the Wilson and Investigators de- mands will thus be held to keep the strike orders in abeyance which will practically nullify the action of the railroaders.
