MONUMENTAL reward for merite the way men are taking to the Real Tobacco Chew, and telling the good word to friends. A little chew of pure, rich, mellow tobacco—seasoned and swectened just enough—cuts out so much of the grinding and spitting. THE REAL TOBACCO CHEW IS NOW_CUT TWO WAYS" V@Y W-B CUT 15 LONG SHRED. RIGHT-CUT IS SHORT SHRE Take less than one-quarter the old size chew. It will be more satisfying than a mouthful of ordinary tobacco. Just take a nibble of it until you find the strength chew that suits you, then see how easily angd evenly the real tobacco taste comes, how it satisfies, how much less you have to spit, how few chews you take to be tobacco satisfied. That’s why it is The Real Tobacco Chew. Thet’s why it costsless in the end. The taste of pure, rich tobacco does not need to be coveredup, An exueay 0f licorice and sweetening makes you spit too much. €6 Notice how the salt brings oui iae rich tobacco taste. 99 WEYMAN-BRUTON COMPANY 50 Union Square, New York 8uUY l"\CM DEALER ORSEND 10%STAMPS TOUS ’ Before the “ACK: ‘‘Stroll”’ ! 2in1 E¥.NE (:iv'enhlihb ALL DEALERS est shine Does it easiest Loy Tho .

REE PORTS - BUILDERS OF COMMERGE SONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM PREFERENCE IN' APPRO- PRIATIONS. By Peter Radford. This nation 18 now entering upon an era of marine development. The wreckage of European commerce has rifted to our shores and the world war is making unprecedented de- mands for the products of farm and/ factory. In transportation facilities’ on land we lead the world but our port facilities are inadequate, and our flag is seldom seen in foreign ports. If our government would only divert the snergy we have displayed in conquer- ing the railroads to mastering the.| commerce of the sea, a foreign bot- tom would be unknown on the ocean’s aighways. This article will be confined to a discussion of our” ports for the pro- ducts of the farm must pass over our wharfs before reaching the water. We have in this nation 51 ports, of which 41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are on the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second Congress appropriated over $51,000, 000 for improving our Rivers and Harbors and private enterprise levies 1 toll of approximately $50,000,000 annually_in wharfage and charges for which no tangible service is rendered. The latter item should be lifted off ‘he backs of the farmer of this na- tion and this can be done by Congress iirecting its appropriations to ports ‘hat are free where vessels can tie up :0 a wharf and discharge her cargo free of any fee or charge. ) A free port is progress. It takes ‘When Themistocles” was asked by his-host at a dinner party to enter- tain the guests Ly playing the lute, he replied that he “could not play the fiddle, but that he could make a small town a great city. We have in this nation many politicians -who are good “fiddlers,” but they cannot make a small town a great city. ‘We are over- run-with orators -who can play upon the ‘passions of the people, but they can’t put brick and mortar together. We need builders; Let those who hunger and thirst for power understand that the highest glory of a statesman is to construct, and that it is better for a man that he should build a public highway than that he should become Governor of a state, and that he start a plow than that he become the author of a law. The true test of statesmanship is the plow and the hammer, so let those who would govern, first build. Sir H. H. Raphael, member of Par- liament, the only millionaire serving in the ranks of the British army, has been promoted from private to cor- poral. HE world is filled with people who are not ““sick in bed”’ and still, nevertheless, are sick. They feel tired, ‘‘drag- ged out,” nervous, irritable, constantly suffer from nerv- ous headaches and “‘nervous stomachs.” The trouble is -- starved nerves. The stomach can- not assimilate the recon- structive food the nervesare so inneed of. That’swhy we advise the use of Webster's >ut the unnecessary link in the chain of transactions in commerce which nas for centuries laid a heavy hand apon commerce. No movement is so aeavily laden with results .o* will more widely and equally distribute its benefits as that of a free port and none can be more easily and ef- ‘ectively secured. [HE VITAL PROBLEM.OF AGRICULTURE By Peter Radford. There is no escaping the market problem and the highest development of agriculture will not be attained until it is solved, for a market Is as necessary for the producer as land on which to grow his crop. Governmental and educational insti- tutions have spent $180,000,000 in the United States during the past ten years for improving soil production and improving seeds and plants, but very little attention and less money has been given to the marketing side of agriculture. The problem is a monumental one and one which will never be solved until it gets within the grasp of a glgantic organization where master minds can concentrate the combined experience and wisdom of the age upon it. It is a problem which the farmers, merchants, bankers, editors and statesmen must unite in solving. The Farmers’ Union stands for all there is in farming from the most scientific methods of seed selection to the most systematic and profitable plans of marketing, but does not be- lieve in promoting one to the neglect of the other. We consider the work of farm demonstrators valuable and we ask that governmental and com- merclal agencies seeking to help us, continue to give us their assistance Bran, Cracked Corn, Ground Feed, per sack.

Morris Kaplan Minnesota Ave. and 2nd St. and advice, but we believe that their influence _should be extended to the marketing side of our farm problems also. We cannot hope to develop manu- facturing by over-production of the factory; we cannot build up mercan- tile enterprises by the merchants load- Ing their shelves with surplus goods and no more can we develop agricul- ture by glutting the market with a surplus of products. The neigh of a horse made Darius King of Persia, the six contending powers for the throne agreeing among themselves that the one whose horse should neigh first should possess the kingdom. This ancient method of/ settling disputes among politiclans could be revived with profit today: If our partisan factions and petty pol- iticians could only settle their dis- putes by the neigh of a horse, the bark of a dog or the bray of a donkey, it would be a great blessing and would give our citizens a better opportunity to pursue the vocations of industry free from political strife. Let those who pick political pluma by raising rows and who flash swords dripping in the blood of industry un- derstand that they cannot turn the public forum into a political arena and by a clash of personal aspirations still the hammer and stop the plow snd that their quarrels must be settled ln the back alleys of civilization.
