TRAL HIGH'S annual clash with Tech, which always has held the center of the stage in the interscholastic base ball title series C will get under way Friday at 3:30 o’clock in the Mount Pleasant stadium. With the 10-to-4 trouncing administered to the champion 1922 Western nine by Eastern yesterday, local high school followers now look to the winner in the game Friday as Eastern’s most formidable contender in the championship race. When the ancient ri renew hostilities a pitchers’ duel Smith, the Maroon and Gray boxman, and Brinkman, Blue and White stocky right-hander, is expected.

In all that time I have never “figured” whether I could afford to buy the kind of tobacco that insures the gmality of La Palina. Price is never a considera- tion. I ask myself one question, “Is this tobacco fine enough for La Palina?” If it is, I buy—if not, some one else may have it. The quality of La Palina is insured in other ways. For example, there is i10 limit to the amount of money I will invest in fine tobacco. Tobacco crops vary, some years fine tobacco is plenti- ful, other years there is scarcely enough. And so I keep on hand, as a protection against poor crops, more than three and a half million dollars’ worth of tobacco that I know is fine enough for La Palina. In the making of so fine a cigar as La Palina there is only one right way to cure the tobacco, to combine it for filler, to select and prepare the wrap- per, to actually make the cigar, and to pack and ship the finished product.

Buildings, Hotels and Men often ask if it pays to hold to Baak these costly methods. In answer I can TIReS say this—that I am repaid every time I smoke a La Palina. And there are enough cigar smokers who share this belief to require the manufacture of more than one hundred and fifty mil- lion La Palinas a year.
