Great Future for Industry

speelaI corrfspondenee 70 THr Sos.

BoGoTA, Colombia. Oct. As a re-
suit of the decision rendered by the
judges OF the Tobacco SSection OF the
Agricultural and Industrial Exposition
just terminated in this city, Colombian
tobacco raisers are much encouraged as
to the possibilities of a large develop
ment in this industry.
The committee which Judged the to-
bacco exhibit was composed Of a num-
Der OF the most eminent agriculturists
IF Colombia among who were Isidro
Nieto. manager of the four principal
cigarette factories of Colombia
Emiliano Gonzales, a representative of
the Gle. Generate de Tabac; Carlos
Denemoustin, director of the School of
Aeronomy at Bogota, and Luis Arnold,
a noted agricultural engineer.
It was the unanimous opinion OF this
board, after careful inspection had
heen made OF the Colombian tobaccos
exhibited, that great progress had been
made In tobacco raising during the last
ten years. and the board has gone on
record as stating that il the next decade
shows the same amount of progress,
there is no reason why Colombian to-
bacco should not be equal to that now
raised In Cuba.

Rio JANEIRo, oct. l9.-Deportation Of

from the radical element in this city.
Pamphlets denouncing the police can,
paign and urging workmen to quit and

tributed throughout the-city, but strong
forces OF mounted police went to the
meeting places and the dock where the
deported men were placed on board a

COLOMBIA TURNS
TO BUDGET SYSTEM
Reform in Handling Revenues
10 Sought.

BoGoTA. Colombia, Oct. 1S.-For a
great many years fnanciers of Colom-
bia have felt that there was much to be
desired in the methods OF administering
the Government revenues. Agitation
toward a budget system has been grow
ing and at last has reached the point
where the Government has been forced
to consider plans for putting such sys-
TEN into operation. Soon after the con-
vening Of the present session Of Con-
gress a committee was appointed to draw
up plans for instituting a budget sys-
tenn, and while 1t has not yet been able
to outline a definite plan the COMMITTEES
has unanimously found in favor of the
adoption of some measure which Will
bring about a more efficient regulation
Of the Governments finances.
In the report just published this COM
mittee states that the greatest leakage
now going on comes from an unwise dis
tribution of funds for the prosecution OF
public works. Many projects have been
started without careful scrutiny of the
costs involved and have had to be given
up after considerable money has been
spent to no avail.
The committee realized the great need
of increasing the transportation facili-
ties of the country: especially does 1t
feel that something should be done re-
gardng the port works of such cities as
Cartasena and Barranquilla. The facili-
ties at these places Of entry are stated
to be lamentably poor, and the committee
recommends that prompt action be taken
to remedy the situation. To this end 1t
proposes TO institute certain economies
which, when enforced, will mean the saw
ing of some 100000 annually.
The Governments average income lie
in the neighborhood of s19,000.00o. and
II is felt that ordinary expenditures could
easily be cut to Sl4,000,000. This will
OF course necessitate treading on a great
many toes, but the committee expresses
the hope that the politicians OF the coun-
try will be willing to make such sacri-
fees as may be essential for the public
good.

PLAN TO CHECK
BORDER BANDITS
Chilean and Argentine Police
to Act Jointly.

BUENos ArREs, Argentina. Oct. IS
Chile and Argentina have signed a
treaty for the establishment of frontier
police garrisons to protect the inhabit-
ants Of each nation against the de-
predations OF armed bands of cattle
thieves and other criminal elements.
The convention authorizes the police
forces of each country to pursue
bandits into the others territory and
to continue the search until the police
of the other country are able to take
up the task. Cooperation in such work
in other ways also Is provided for by
the agreement

that the opinion and the respect of the
South American business men for the
people of the United States have been
greatly enhanced of late by personal
visits OF South Americans to our coun-
try. Since the European war closed
largely the channels of visits to the old
country scores OF families have taken
the opportunity of combining business
and pleasure in tours through the United
States. They return almost invariably
to speak with enthusiasm Of their recep-
ton and with changed points OF view
concerning the Americans.
In the last analysis the opinion of one
nationality OF another hinges upon per
sonal contract and acqua intance. Tho
hrst secret of right relationship between
people OF varying racial and national
stock depends upon the earnest and per-
sistcnt determination to secure the point
of view the one OF the other.

GERMAN BORN PATRIOT
Marietta Man Largest Holder OF
U.S.. Securities in His County.
Declares Country Can Have Whatever
He Has Whenever II De-
slres II.

IL William Hohenzollern depended
on Americans of German birth t. do
his work In this country he would
never have picked August Heckert Of
Marietta, Mimi.
Although born in Germany, Mr..
Heckert stands today as the prize
practical patriot Of Lac Out Parle
county with 5000 to his credit in
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps
and Certificates Of Indebtedness. In
addition to the cash investments, he
has loaned his 2~4-year-old son to
Uncle Sam and the youth Is serving
his country on the dreadnaught Kear-
sarge. MI. and Mrs. Heckert have also
toiled increasingly for the various war
activities in their home town and
county.
Chairman ]. Fl. Hayden Of Madison
Is authority for the statement that
of government securities In Lac Qui
Parle county.
And Mr.. Heckert has not been silent
concerning the prosecution Of the val.
He has won himself a host Of enemies
among old neighbors for the things
he has told them about their attitude
toward the land Of their adoption.
The elimination came recently
when Ferdinand Kahlbrenner, also of
Marietta, brought suit for $40, 900
against the prize patriot of the
county. The suit followed a signed
article in a Marietta paper, in which
Mr.. Heckert aired his views regarding
to buy Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps. The jury did not deliberate
long ove the evidence and returned a
verdict for Mr.. Heckert.
The land of my adoption is the
only land that ! recognize" Mr.. Heck
ert said In telling his experiences to
A. r. Rogers. Chairman Of the Ninth
District War Loan Organization. This
government has made 1t possible for
me to succeed in business and what.
ever l have, the United States can
have whenever II desires 1t. The jury
that gave mt the verdict apparently
thought that a man who bought five
or six times as many Liberty Bonds as
his allotment called for, could not be
very disloyal."
The case OF Mr.. Heckert," said
Chairman Rogers, lis proof that the
majority of American citizens of Ger
man birth are loyal to their adopted
country"
Chairman Hayden OF Madison de-
ciared that the story of Mr.. Heckert
should have the greatest circulation In
the coming Victory Loan campaign.
The story should bring shame TO
many persons who have been evading
their full duty to their country" Mr..
Hayden said.
