THE MANDEvEILLE SEA
CONTRACT IN COURT.

Hon. Lewis L. Morgan, represent
ing the town OF Vaudeville al at
torney, has filed proceedings in the
District Court to have the Court take
charge Of the funds on hand apper-
ta4ning to the contract between the
town of Vaudeville and Laird &
Black, for the building OF the sea
wall. 1t appears that the funds
available for the settlement OF debts
amount to $11.432.63, while there
are Gains OF $20,845.0o.
According to the petition, Laird &
Black agreed on completion OF the
work to furnish a certificate under
oath of no unpaid bills or claims due
for labor and material, while J. L.
Black signed an affidavit that there
we're dnnumerable debts for labor
and material. That the debts are in
excess Of the funds IN hand.
It appears that property owners
fronting on the beach agreed to pay
$3.50 per front foot or $852.00 pei
square to be deducted from contract
price, payments to be made by the
town as work was completed, less
20 per cent to be retained as securi

continued on completion Of square Z
There were nine squares. Contrac
was entered into July ~. 1916. Th'

There's hardly q business man.

could get together, and then ten days
before Planting time get busy and
re-plow and harrow the ground, sup
plement!ng the stable manure with
500 pounds of comnerc:al fertilizer
in the shape of bone i-oa.l and acid

When the good planting days come
along, they rush the seed into the

the balance burn tar, cut wood, ETC.,
whatever occupation they choose
knowing that the crop was being

Washington

The shipyard strike, which threat
ened to tie up the entire shipbuilding
program of the United States on the
Atlantic coast, has been ended, at least
temporarily, by the personal appeal of
President Wilson. President William
Hutcheson and the officials of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
telephoned from New York to all Off
Gals, asking them to have the men I'M
der their jurisdiction back at work at
once.
BY a new proclamation President
Wilson placed all exports to all coun-
tries under license by the war trade
board. The purpose of the proclama-
ton is to release more ships for car
rying United States troops and mate
rails to the war front in Europe.
President Wilson directed Attorney
General Gregory to investigate the
much-discussed Hog Island shipyard
contracts, which have been adversely
criticized before the senate commerce
committee, and determine IL there has
been any criminal misuse of govern
ment funds.
Fuel Administrator Garfield sus-
pended the Monday closing order, but
left the way open to put it again into
operation If it appears that this would
be necessary.
Chairman Hurley Of the shipping
board appealed to William L. Hutch
eson Of indianapolis, president of the
Brotherhood Of Carpenters, to end the
strike of ship carpenters in Atlantic
coast shipbuilding yards. The strike,
Mr.. Hurley declared in the telegram
is endangering the lives of American
soldiers in France awaiting food and
munitions from America.
Secretary Baker left the capital for

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

For good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way. just as cooking Most foods improves
them.
They took a real Brley tobacco. grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette, y
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in Z
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is no
only most wholesome. but the flavor i
greatly improved, just as cooking improve
