A Chew OF
"SPEAR Head"
SATISFIES
its Mellow Sweet Flavor Not
Found in Any Other
Tobacco
TASTES LIKE RIPE FRUIT

Real tobacco hunger can be
thoroughly satisfied only by a
good juicy chew-and the best and
juiciest chew can be obtained only
in the form Of high-grade plug
tobacco.
Spear Head represents the high
est form of plug tobacco produc-
tion-the very best chew that can
be made-the last word in tobacco
satisfaction.
The choice leaf in Spear Head
is selected from the cream of the
red Burley crop. In this wonder
full leaf the natural juices are de-
veloped to the supreme de-
gree, and the luscious, fruity-
sweet favor IS in a state of abso-
lutte perfection.
Every chew of Spear Head
brims over with that appetizing,
wholesome tastiness which livens
up the appetite and comforts the
entire system.
Spear Head is the most salts
flying chew that its possible to
make. Try SC or Ioc cut. Sold
by dealers everywhere.

Commercial Affairs

Sixteen months of war has wrought great
changes in financial and commercial affairs,
both here and abroad, aud the longer the
contest continues the more important the
influence will be in the future 1t is a sad
thought, but we cannot blink the fact that
the United States has prospered amazingly
through the tragedies that are ravaging
Europe. Peace will raise different group
ing of problems, no doubt, and the sooner
it is brought about the better, but in the
meanwhile, industry is expanding every
where. The iron and steel trade is operat-
ing to the limits of production capacity,
and the same is true, practically, of all other
metals. Railway earnings are brilliant, and
bank clearances, the truest guage of business
volumes, establish new high records with
each recurring week for the first time in
this conntry's history. The turn over of
foreign trade, exports and imports COM
bined, exceeds five billion dollars in a run
ming twelve months. The excess of exports
for the same interval, 1,626, $50, 900, fur
nishes comprehensive explanation of why
the forei gn exchanges are overwhelmingly
in our favor. 1t accounts for our ability
to import 1857, 06l, 165 gold and repurchase
upwards of $500, 900, 600 American securi-
ties since January LIST, in addition to max
ing loans and granting credits of nearly
$500, 900, 600 to foreign governments.-Ex.

James WhitComb Riley

James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier
poet, has passed away, but he has left a
rich legacy to the world.
He wrote nothing that is not clean and
wholesome, and in some of his flights he
displayed religious faith and fervor. His
kindliness of character has been the theme
of nearly every one privileged to share his
friendship. 1t has been written of him a
score of times that in his conversation, no
less than in his writings, he always had a
good word to say of everybody. He could
not be trapped into criticism, even of those
who had misused him. In fact, it is attested
by his contemporaries that elm Riley
lived up to his poem, "Let Something
Good Be Said''-
When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall, instead
Ofwords of blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his head
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet,
If something good be said.
The Christian Science Monitor SAYS:
"Greater poets America has given the
world; none in his day and generation more
beloved. "--Ex.

Cocoanut's Three Eyes

Who can tell why the cocoanut has three
eyes. Luther Bur bank explains it this way:
Cocoanuts usually grow at the edge of the
sea or rivers. The nuts are surrounded
with thick husk with waterproof cover
ing so that when they drop into the water
they will float. In floating, the three eyes
are always on top.
Once in the water nature gets busy, From
one of the eyes there comes a shoot which
develops broad leaves like sails. The wind
catches the sails and watts the cocoanut on
journey sometimes many miles long. As
it sails the other two eyes develop roots,
which at first grow among the hbres of the
woody husk.
In good season, the cocoanut is swept
upon another shore, perhaps another island.
The roots imbed themselves in the soft
earth, the sail becomes the trunk, and a
cocoanut palm is growing where none grew
before.-Ex.

Hand me the Roses

I've noticed when fellow dies no matter
what he's been,
A sanity chap or one whose life was darkly
marked with sin:
His friends forgot the bitter words he
spoke but yesterday,
And now they find multitude of pretty
things to say;
l fancy when l 60 to rest some one will
bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act long
buried out of sight:
But if its all the same to you just give to
me instead
The bouquets while I'm living and the
knocking when I'm dead.
Don't save your kisses to imprint upon my
noble brow,
While countless knocks and bruises are
hurled upon me now.
Say the good things to me on earth while
here mourn alone,
And don't save all the good things to
carve upon my stone.
What do l care if when I'm dead the
Daily Town Gazette
Gives me write-up with cut in mourn
ing border set.
1t will not hatter me bit, no matter what
is said,
So kindly throw your flowers now and
knock me when I'm dead.
1t may be fine when one is dead to have
the folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads from
girls and boys you know;
1t may be nice to have those things for
those you leave behind:
But just as far as I'm concerned really do
not mind:
I'm quite alive and we'll today and when
linger here,
Send me helping hand at time-give me
word of cheer;
Just change the game little bit; just
kindly swap the decks,
For will be no Judge of flowers when l
cash my checks.

Do it Now

If with pleasure you are viewing any work
man is doing,
IT you like him or you love him tell him
now;
Don't withhold your appreciation till the
parson makes Grafton
AS he lies with snowy lilies o er his brow;
For no matter how you shout it, he won't
really care about it.;
He won't know how many teardrops you
have shed;
If you think some praise is due him, now S
the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone when
he's dead!
More than fame and more than money is
the comment kind and sunny
And the hearty, warm approval Of a
friend,
For it gives to life SAVIOR, and it makes
you stronger, Drawer,
And it gives you heart and spirit to the
end,
If he earns your praise-bestow it; If you
like him let him know it;
Let the words of true encouragement be
said;
Do not wait till life is over and he's under
meath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone when
he's dead!

Blow of a Whales Tail

Ask ten persons what is the strongest
animal force in the world and nine will
reply that it is the blow of a lions paw.
The tenth man may express the belief, based
on experience. that it is the kick of Mis-
souri, mule.
As matter of fact, the blow of whales
tail is incomparably the strongest animal
force. A blow delivered by full grown
whale placed at just the right distance
would smash in the side of wooden ship
as though it were an eggshell.
The second strongest force is the kick of
giraffe, and this terrible kick is adequate
protection to these otherwise helpless ami
mails. The stroke of the lions paw comes
third on the list.-Ex.

Write Soon"

This poem appealing for letters from
"home" was received from Nc Allen, Tex,
headquarters of the New Work Guard regi-
ments on the border. 1t was written by
Private William S. Copp, Company G..
Seventy-frst New York regiment.
When you get up in the morning
After hours of gay delight
And you re thinking of old Broadway,
With its gay and glittering light,
Just sit down and write letter
To some homesick soldier boy
For to him there's nothing better
Then little note of joy.
When you've had your lunch at Sherry S
And are lingering o er the wine
And you re tired of life and living
And think the world unkind,
Just take up your pen and paper,
Write about the girls and boys,
For the soldier lad waits eager
For his letter note of joy.
All, there's many a lad gets gloomy
When the letters fail to come;
l can see it in their faces
This and that and t'other one
For they have as many worries
For the folks back home, you see,
AS the folks back home have worries
For the boys of Company G.
So just scribble something cheerful
When it comes to you at night
Or in the early morning,
When the sun is shining bright.
But be sure the old pen staggers
Just with newe to cheer the boy,
For the soldier lad who's waiting
For his little note of Joy.

The Militia


1t may be that they haven't ever seen
battlefield,
And they've never heard the scream
ing of shell,
They've never thrown up trenches as a
temporary shield,
Nor helped wounded brother when
he fell;
But they've donned their suits of khaki
and their dusty blanket rolls,
And they re marching to the border
feeling fit;
The good old Yankee spirit is now
flaming in their souls
And their youthful breasts are full of
Yankee grit.
They are sons of men and women who
have taught them to be true,
There's an ancestry of valor in their
veins;
They are followers of the heroes who
once marched and fought in blue,
hey are chlldren OF the MANHOOD
building plains.
They have heared the call to duty and
they rushed to answer it,
Now they're marching to the border
for the Flag;
And the swinging step they're taking
Shows their good old Yankee grit,
And there isn't one among 'em that
will lag.
Oh, it may be they're not finished in
the school of fighting arts,
And the regulars may beat 'em at
drill;
But the good old Yankee courage now
is throbbing in their hearts,
And you bet they'll do their duty
with a will.
And along the Texan border where the
cunning foeman preys
You will find them with the good
old Yankee grit
They may seem a little awkward in
military ways,
But they've got sort of pluck that
does not quit.
