A little chew of this real quality tobacco gives them better satisfaction and they find their chew- ing costs even less. With this class of tobacco, you don’t need a fresh chew so often and you find you’re saving part of your tobacco money.

The road building era is upon us. All over the west the same spirit seems to prevail. People are awakening to the needs ot | better roads and their import-| ance to the country. Road! building next year will be the greatest industry of the west, tor hundreds of thousands of! men will be employed in the con- struction of roads in Washing- ton, Oregon and Idaho. The government is fully awake to the} need of doing something in this| line for the west and will spend millions of dollars in the next! two years in building good roads | where they are so badly needed. The automobile is becoming more popular as a means of trav- el. The railroads are losing out. Transcontinental roads are being built for automobile travel that | will make this method of getting about the country more popular and increase its volume. Nothing helps a country like good roads, They add to the value of lands and they build up trading cen- ters. | The road building program | started this year but the, changes of the system for se-| curing federal aid for post roads | stopped the work almost every- | where until the necessary data, could be secured and application | made. This means much more| money for road building, but the} work cannot be started until next spring. Then there will be the greatest demand for men and teams for road building that | the west has ever known. Every district will want to get its work done first. NATURE KEEPS WORKING. | It is comforting to know that no matter what a man may do nature continues to function as usual. Down near Harrington in Washington it is claimed one farmer has harvested $20,000 worth of “volunteer” wheat | which represents 2500 more bushels than was harvested from the same, tract the last time it was cultivated. Strikes may arrest certain in- dustries but no matter how strongly man may be organized he has no means of changing the weather or the seasons. The sun rises and sets as usual and the moon holds its place and the North Star remains as fixed as ever, So it goes along with nature. The world has seen civilizations come and go and remains un- changed in fundamental feat- ures. When seed is in the ground and conditions are fa- vorable it follows its natural in- stincts and sprouts and flour- ishes. So perhaps it is a good thing that man cannot control some things. The persons entrusted | with operating them would per- haps form a soviet and placing | their own selfish interests above | the welfare of the world and oth- er people would no doubt demand a different arrangement of the! seasons be made or ese they| would shut off the sunlight. Man may well take a lesson from nature in that nature keeps | at work and is therefore always | relible. To Andrew Carnegie, more than to any other individual, is due the wonderful development in the great iron and steel inter- ests of this country, and the| “laird of Skibo” since his retire- ment from active leadership has established a record unique in| the world’s history by giving away an amount approximately | estimated at $300,000,000 in| benefactions at a rate of $50,000 His was a_ record of | superlative accomplishments on the strength of native ability, foresight and ambition, employ- ed in an avenue of wonderful} opportunity. It was made pos- sible to the limits achieved only under conditions of development of great natural resources, but men of the Carnegie type will ways forge to the front, What.

His career will always serve as an inspiration. Most of us have not appreciat- ed the extent of our recent for- eign trade. Some figures will be illuminating. June merchandise exports of $918,242,671 were not only the largest ever report- ed in a single month, but 90 per cent greater than a year and six times larger same month in 1914, fiseal year ended June 30 the ex- cess of exports over imports was $4,129,000,000. No country ever before ended a year with such a large trade balance in its favor; the-figures just given be- ing 22 times larger than the ex- port excess shown in 1910. Naturally this big export move- ment has been a real vital fac- tor in restricting supplies and boosting prices here at home. _ See Rose Bros. for well drill- . 23-6m ~ be-] ing.
