WHY MEN
Chew TOBACCO
It's the Only Way That Real Tobacco
Hunger Can Be Entirely
Satisfied
"oLD KENTUCKY IDEAL CHEW

Since tobacco was first introduced to
civilization, nobody has ever discovered
so supreme1y satisfactory way to get
ell the flavor and enjoyment out of II
IS chewing it. And no other form OF
chew can give you the hearty, whole
some, Juicy favor that you get
from delicious high-grade Plug tobac-
CO like Old Kentucky
The secret of the greatest chewing
satisfaction lies in the selection OF your
chew. Among plug tobaccos the brand
that gets the most enthusiastic en-
dorsement is undoubtedly Old Ken
lucky. The reason for this is not hard
to find
Old Kentucky is made exclusively OF
ripe Kentucky Burley-the most richly
favored chewing tobacco that grows.
Still more, only the very choicest OF
all the Burnley leaf is used for Old
Kentucky.
This choice leaf is selected with the
most painstaking care, is stenmed by
hand, is thoroughly washed free of ali
foreign matter and is pressed into
plugs so slowly that not a drop OF
Juice or an atom of favor escapes
Moreover, Old Kentucky is made under
the most rigid, cleanly and sanitary
conditions.
The result is a sweet, mellow, lus-
cious, satisfying chew that cannot be
obtained in any other tobacco than Ole
Kentucky.

by cleaning the Cardinals twice Sun

The latter are back in their old po-

Cincinnati Reds in licking the Cubs

SMALL TOWN STUFF
lFrom the Montnose Journal.1

! Charley Kennedy never took a drink
of liquor in his life. And he did not
have the restraint on him that some
| boys have, either, to help him
straight, as his father died when he
was a small boy and he and his
brother took hold of a small nursery
and started the cultivation and grow
| ing of trees, and up to the time he
was elected to congress bis life was
spent the same as othe..' farmers, or
people who cultivate the ground.
namely in overalls and jumpers. AS
| to his record in congress-, it is un-
necessary for us to comment on that,
as even his opponents do lot attempt
to say that he has not made good.
When he first announced his can
didacy for congress all the democrat
papers in the district and some of
the so-called republican papers, such
as the Mt. Pleasant News. Wapello
Republican, Smith Brookhart and a
few of his followers said he was too
small for the job. They based their
argument as to his ma.lness on the
fact, and they still seem to hold to
that view, that man who lives in a
small town must necessarily be
small man.
Bookhart has induced the farm

proposition, only on larger scale,
applies to your congressman. VIII

Will you have a man who has been

you experiment with a man of socialis-

Owing to the fact that the Journal
is published in Congressman Ken
nedy's home town we had about de-
cided not to take any active part IN
the congressional campaign. as nearly
all our subscribers know Mr.. Kennedy
as we'll as we do, and we could say
nothing that would influence them
one way or the other. But we have
decided to say just a few words to
the people of this section who are
so we'll acquainted with Mr.. Kennedy
We are going to ask you both repub-
licans and dem ocrats, who know
Charley so well and favorably, to
say a good word for him when away
from home in other parts OF the dis
trict. Remember that all the people
Of the district have n',c had the OPP
portunity Of knowing Mr. Kennedy as
we'll as you do, and few so called
republican papers like the Washing
ton County Press, whose editor has
a personal spite against Charley be-
cause he defeated him for congress
six years ago, is leaving nothing I'M
done to compass his defeat. True he
has not, and dare rot attack Mr..
Kennedys personal character; neith-
er can he truthfully assail his record
while in congress-; but from his de-
scription Of Mr.. Thorne, who is seek
in the nomination, you would think
that Clifford was the only man in
Iowa competent to occupy that posi-
ton.
If you want to add SINE more to
the IS percent of lawyers already in
congress; if you want some more
professional politicians &c help enact
the laws Of this country; if you think
we need some more orators to crate.
and enlarge the congressional record
with their speeches, Thorne might
answer the purpose. But if you want
a farmer, one of the common people
who lays no claim to being poll
tician or an orator, who is classed
in congress as one of the workers"
then send the man back who has so
ably represented you for the past ten
years.
