This But it is in the use of lagnappe by the customer to secure favors from the dealer that we have improved on the Southg:n practice, When a railroad wants to buy a frangfiise from a city it offers Jagnappe. When a contractor wishes to get the contract for removing ashes by trolley-cars he offers lagnappe, perhaps to the amount of $25,000. When a coal company wants cars to haul its coal it gives lagnappe in the shape of a $5,000 block of stock to a car-distributor and a $10,000 block to a division superintendent. Sometimes the lagnappe is in cash, some- times in kind. It may even take the form of a corner lot ina plot a city 4s about to acquire for improvements. : Altogether, lagnappe is one of the most interesting features of modern business intercourse. Its development will well repay study, _ KEEP UP THE FIGHT! | As a result of forty-three convictions in Special Sessions for violation of the smoke ordinance it is officially announced that the nuisan abated. That remains to be seen. The crusade has been the most vig- orous of the kind and the best organized in which the health authorities have engaged. The unprecedented number of convictions cannot but have | a most salutary deterrent effect—for the time being, | But if that effect is to be made permanent there must be no relaxation of vigilance. The club must still be held over the head of the offender The prosecutions must be kept up. The success of the movement for smokeless skies has been too encouraging to permit of its being abandoned to the limbo of sporadic outbursts of official energy. i f : ‘ 1 { | Te oe The new 20,000-ton battle-ship will cost $10,000,000.
