Settled at Saratoga.
Shortly after securing title to his lan-t,
Mr. Redman bought a tract In the vicin

After serving one term In the council,
Mr. Redman waa ft number of times ap
pointed deputy assessor and upon sev
eral occasions held appointive offices,
both city and county. Always active In
politics and for years the president of
the Fifth Werd Republican Vtub, he sel-
dom sought office, seemingly being con

himself.

Transmlsslsslppl exposition Mr. Redman
started a campaign looking to the city
securing Carter lake and the ground
around It for park purposes and a ruhlla
recreation resort. He worked on thla
project until suocess crowned his efforts.
During the latter years of his life Mr.
Redman waa quite an extensive traveler,
but he was si ay Imbued with the Idea
of "9e America First." consequently he
confined his travels to the country west
of the Missouri.

Try your luck with Tom Moore
CJ Luckv is the man who has found a cigar
of which he can make a steady diet. It can't
be an imported Havana which, is too expen
sive,' and all-Havanas, if smoked 'continu
ously, leave a man overloaded with their
heaviness.
J So your'steady diet" cigar must be one
in which fragrant Havana and milder
tobaccos meet making the "modulated"
Havana blend. Tom Moores are all made
this way. ' .
It's safe to predict you will stick to Tom Moore
-. eonce you become acquainted. . And after you
' "have smoked half a dozen you'll be wanting to keep
a',ljox" of Vthese "nodulated" Havanaa handy., in
your "den or office desk. Any dealer can supply
