MORE BEAUTIFUL PALACE.
To Be Erected for the President of Gu
ban Republic.

Havana, Cuba, Oct. 2J.-The Palacio
Presidential, now the official residence of
President Menocal, which was completed
in 1902, is soon to be abandoned and a
more beautiful and spacious structure,
now in course of erection at a more CEN
trail point, is to take its place
In 1910, Congress ceded to the pro
vincial council of Havan a tract of
land which faces the entrance to Havana
harbor and MORO castle, on which was to
be erected a provincial palace. The work
of erection began in 1911, but was dis
continued after more than 1921 900 had
been expended on the building Presi-
dent Menocal has given his support to
the plan of taking over the structure
for nse as the national capital, and, by
making a few changes, modelling it into
Palacio Presidential.
When completed the new palace, the
final cost of which will be more than
81 000,000000, will be an architectural
jewel. Its great dome, formed of steel
will be covered with squares
of terra Gotta. With the conversion of
this editice into a presidential palace, the
of the surrounding district
will be completely changed, in order that
its beauty may not be married by I'M
slightly buildings or undesirable bust
ness places.

nearing stage where they can be given
TO the public.
Superwheat of greatly increased yield
has formed MIR Burbank's first results
from his war experiments. He has
growing in his fields another wheat far
richer in gluten than anything now
grown, and he is still working on new
varieties.
To develop corn which will give great
er food values he has gone back TO the
original rusty corn of the Mexicans and
by combining it with the best of the
modern types hopes to develop product
with the best qualities Of each.
Loquats, apples, peaches, nectsrines,
plums and grapes are drawing his atten
ton as being worthy of development in
the food crisis.
Mr. Burbank has seen an opportunity
to help fill the demand for meat through
improving forage crops, so as TO make
each acre of pasture produce more food

GIVES HIS ESTATE
TO GREAT BRITAIN
On Condition That He (Col Sir Arthur
Hamilton Lee) and Lady Lee May
Occupy 1t as Long as They
Shall Live.

London. Oct IS Correspondence =
Colonel Sir Arthur Hamilton Lee. who
married Miss Ruth Moore, daughter OF
j. g. Moore Of New York in giving his
country seat, THE Chequers,' to the ma.
ton as residence for British prime min
listers, makes il condition that he and
Lady Lee, if they desire, remain in occu-
patton as tenants of the trustees as long

acres, is the reputed birthplace of Carac-
tacus, in the year !, and has records
dating back to the reign of Henry H.,

Scararrio, chancellor of the exchequer
The house is Tudor in origin and design,
was largely built in l565 and restored in
1909. Sir Arthur in his bequest asks
that no alteration or addition be made
to the principal features of the house, as
he wishes to protect it against such out
RACES as were inflicted on it by the Tate
Georgian Goths and Vandals'
In a memorandum outlining the cond-
tions of the trust which is being created
under the prime minister, Sir Arthur
saws that the scheme is not mere within,
but carefully considered policy based
on long experience of political life and
official conditions, and of the beneficial
effect that the climate and atmosphere
at THE Chequers" invariably exercise
on hard working men of affairs.
He has foreseen that ii is impossible
to foretell from what classes or condi
tions of life the future wieders of power
in this country will be drawn They

scent, they may belong to the world of
trade or they may spring from the ranks
Of manual toilers. He believes that to
the city bred man, periodic contact with
rural life would help him 10 preserve a

Manufacturers Making Pay on Five
 Cent Weeds. ..

How the workings of the new tax laws are affecting the cigar and li- quor trade of the community is ex- plained by deputy collectors who are visiting the dealers and aiding them in making the preliminary inventory of their stock. The collectors say cigar manufacturers are making the dealers pay wholly the tax on 5-cent cigars, and these latter in turn are imposing the extra cost upon the con- sumer, that is. instead of dividing it between himself and the manufactur- CT has seen fit to place the burden upon the retailer. Under the new revenue act which went into effect October 4. all dealers who have over 1000 cigars on hand must pay a tax of $1 per 1000 on the 5-cent variety To meet this tax the manufa cturers have increased the price B per 1000 cigars. This pays the tax and $2 per 900 extra which they get out of the retailer. The retailer claims he must then sell the six for a quarter cigars for cents straight to break even The cigars cost him cents
 The tax on the 10-cent cigars is 8 per 1000 and the manufa cturers have increased tho price exactly to meet that, tax. The, cigars sell now for 10 cents straight instead of three for 25 cents.
