CIGARETTE SALES
 SHOWING DECIDED
 INCREASE RECENTLY

NEW YORK. May 2O.-Some idea of the remarkable showing in the increase Of 1.S4S.OOO.OOO. or AIS per cent. In the sales of cigarettes In the first quarter of 1916. may be gleaned from the fact that the cigarette pro duction in the first three months of 1915 actually fell off about 175.- 100000 cigarettes, or about 8 per cent, from 1914. The old tobacco men say tho showing Of tobacco sales SO far this year has run far ahead of their expectations. As the production of cigarettes for the full calendar year of 1915 was well ahead of 1S.O0O.O0O. a continuance of the rate of invcrease shown for the first three months would bring the total for the full year well above 21.OOO.- OOO.O0O. The cigarette production in 1915 ran about 2.00O.OOOOOO ahead of the 1914 production, and the man ufacturers would be well satisfied with an output Of 20OOo,0OO,OOO for the present year

FREAK, BETS AND NATIONAL
 SANITY

Freak bets hardly seem cOmDat- 'ble with either individual or na- t!onal sanity.
 To see 8 man rolling peanut along a crowded thoroughfare, headed by band playing the Dead March is calculated to give quite the opposite impression.
 By many it is taken as an indi- cation that Darwin was fright about humanity and the monkeys.
 But there is another thought tha' freak bets encourage in many minds and that is that people are learning not to take political diff terencea too seriously,
 We are getting away from the pioneer days when political differ ences fermented by election con- tests left residue of bad blood an feeling which tinged and talnte Dost-elsctiop dealings.
 Freak bets in the paying Is Q hsalth~ sign-the sing of nation al safety. !
 It proves that men can lose with good grace, l
 The Chicago man who is now en- ragged in eating a gallon of molas- ses with a tooth pick and the East Aurora resident whose pheasant i+ is tf drink barrel of cider, using Q !sponge as a medium, will undoubtedly swallow their disap- pointnent In MT, Hughes defeat at the same time. !
 Let us continue to have these freak bets wherein losers go to work in the garb of suttragettes, walk Ike bears, lark like dogs, sleep on tombstones and publicly ask tho worlds pardon for the fact they are living.
 There is then little danger that this country will deYelcR that hy- steria which is the foe of good will an' good work.

 Many years ago, the story runs, when this glorious republic was younger and political enthuslasm expressed itself in foolish exalta- ton such as We sedate and deep thinking people do not indulge, two men of opposite persuasions laid a wager, the.winner to dine on chicken the loser to have crow. Aud thus the bet was paid, to the glee of those. who witnessed the consumption of the 'scOlding sable bird of thieYishly coyetous nature. From that day to this the 'politi- cal loser has been the crow-eater' and thousands suffer just as much from the thought Of it as if they were compelled actually to nibble the last shreds from the crow skele- ten.
 Thera are a lot of US who can't fake defeat without a grimace and a yell, just as many who cannot wi without happening the vanqutsh- ed and between the two the days following an election are sorry enough for the fellow of .eQuable temperament, who accepts all events Has the Twill of fate, smiles and bucks into the next thing in which he believes and for which he is willing to fiht-and to laugh 'f he loses, just as he laughs # he wins.
 Eat your crow like man.
