CUTTING DOWN ON THE
NON.ESSENTIALS
By Edward Hungerford
Of The Vigilantes

A man coming into one OF the
large New York hotels today, for the
first time in some months, would not
gain very vivid impression that the
country was at war; involved in one
of the very great crisis of its exist
ence. True it is that the dining
rooms are draped in flags, that Mr..
Hoover's injunctions are solemnly
spread upon the menu-cards, that Of
ficers in khaki are seated here and
there and everywhere and that all
rise upon the playing of the nation.
al anthem. These evidences Of pa
triotism are not difficult. An eff
fort, more or less successful, has
been made to close restaurant and
cabaret festivities at one o'clock in
the morning. But that is about all.
Jazz-bands still bang out their dis
cor.!aht melodies in the cheap places,
with softer-toned orchestras for the
more expensive ones. There is gale
ty in the air. And prosperity to
sign the check.

The only number on the local lee

In securing this number the Lee

the greatest platform attraction on

the wierd enchanting Nature Songs
to the accompaniment of the strum-

Guitar. They will portray in beau
tiful melodies the witchery of Fair
Hawaii-the Queen of the South
Sea Isles.
Some of the Committee have
heard this entertainment and have
paid as high as 75cts. admission.
They pronounce the company and
it's work as brilliant attraction,
well worth the money. But Edger-

ment at the lowest price possible.
Therefore tickets have been
placed on sale at 25 and 35 cents.

NEW YORK, July %, 1918.

The extremely hot weather that has
prevailed in the past week, despite the
discomfort, is gratifying to those mem
bers of the trade who would like to see
a big production of tobacco in this
country, and particularly in Connecti-
cut and Wisconsin. In both of those
states continued cold weather has pre-
vented the crop from making as rapid
progress as most people would like to
see made. This is not to say, however,
that the crop has been stunted as a
general thing, though the belief that
the crop was not making the right sort
Of progress probably had great deal
to do with the attempt to buy up these
crops at such tremendous prices. AS
things now stand, the late crops will in
all likelihood produce the finest tobac-
co, as the spell of warm weather we
are now enjoying is just what has been
needed. The buying movement, it is
said, has taken up about fifty per cent
of the Havana Seed acreage. Very
little Broadleaf has been bought. The
movement has slackened, owing to the
fact that fifty cents pound no longer
tempts the Connecticut farmer. Some
slight damage was done by hailstorm
in Connecticut last week, but the dam
age was not nearly so great as the
"crop-killers" would have us believe.
In Pennsylvania and Ohio the crop is
coming along nicely, under almost ideal
weather conditions.
