DELICIOUS,
WHOLESOME
" SPEAR Head
Made by Modern Sanitary
Methods, Of the Choicest
Red BurEey Leaf

Able-bodied, manly men nat
urally like to che50 tobacco-and
they want Plug tobacco, because
that is by far the most satisfying
form for chewing.
Spear Head is particularly de-
licious and wholesome, because it
is made of ripe, choice, mellow,
red Burley, hand-stemmed, thor
oughly cleansed, and pressed into
plugs so carefully and expertly
that not drop Of the precious
juice escapes.
Chew Spear Head and you get
the most enjoyable sensation to-
bacco can give-the direct con-
tact between the tongue and the
sweet, pungent, natural juices of
The leaf.
Spear Head has luscious, last
ing, fruity flavor you will find in
no other tobacco.
Try it. In SC and Ioc cuts.

panied the governor, but he refused to
sign the report drawn up by the chief
executive. He declared that he did not
coincide in the opinions held by the
governor and could not attach his sig
nature to the report, adding that it

not agree with the governor in many
things, he did feel that the settlers

anxious to do that which would help
them most.

gated on the Salmon river demanded
that action be at once brought to an

the state in order that the entrymen
and the state might be free to proceed
to do whatever was necessary for the
success of the project
The petition was adopted and sign
ed by the settlers at a mass meeting
held at Hollister July "a
During his last visit to the Salmon
tract, Governor Alexander told the
settlers that if they would get together
and propose a feasible plan and agree
to stand by it he would be with them.
The settlers Immediately accepted the
invitation and requested, with pract-
cal unanimity that the contract be an
nuled and steps taken to secure the
appointment of a receiver The re-

A communication from the fire in

high rates in Idaho were due to high
fire loss, which in turn was the result
of lack of sufficient protection. The
letter suggested that the water pres

dhat there were not enough hydrants
either in the business or residence dis
tricts, that more standard fire alarms
were needed. that gymnastic exercises
and personal visits to business houses
should be incorporated into the regu-
lations for firemen, that more care be
taken in the construction of buildings
and more caution observed in the
handling of gasoline. Mayor Sweelel
said that he had answered the letter

Great Time to Be Living.

The ending of 1915 has brought no
diminution in the exports OF war
munitions and feodstuffs from the
United States. In fact the outflow at
the beginning of the present year has
shown an actual increase and it is
predicted that 1916 will break all
previous records including that of the
twelve months just passed in the vol
ume of sales to foreign countries.
Aeroplanes valued at s655.6SS were
shipped to England during the last
week in December, and the demand is
steadily increasing. The value Of
horses exported during the same week
amounted to S2.00o.060 and for the
year totallad 1925, 600 900. Exports of
explosives continue to run at the rate
Of 100000 day. while the value of
empty shells, smokeless powder. gun
cotton. cartridges. fuses and dynamite
aggregated s6,225,00 for the last week
in December. In foodstuffs the most
remarkable increase had been in the
value Of the exports Of sugar. 1t has
only been within recent years that
this country has ceased TO be an i'm
porter Of European sugar. yet during
the past year approximately 100000
900 pounds Of refined sugar valued at
10000, 900, was shipped to European
and South American countries. The
direct benefit of these exports to the
county, however. has been relatively
small as the bulk Of the sugar shipped
was grown in Cuba. which necessitat-
ed the refunding to the refiners Of the
duty originally collected. Exports to
South America are double what they
We're a year ago. Cotton cloths and
yarn, iron and steel, and leather show
the largest increaseS.-New York cor
respondence.
The trade reviewers and all bust
ness interests agree that foreign trade
has lifted us out of the slough of dis
couraged industries and suffering la
Dor. War orders have turned depres-
sion into a hump. We are swapping
wheat dough for gold dough- The
sorbed by the corn shocks of 1915. We
have exported obliteraters and i'm
ported securities. War was the COM
pelling cause of the prosperity which
sprang like a mushroom out of I'M
employment and industrial dumps.
The war tax" inflicted to make I'D
the deficiency in revenue because of a
free trade policy. has been met easily
because of a tremendous foreign de-
mand for all our products that are
convertible into human food OF for
converting humanity into mince meat.
1t is a great year, and great time TO
be living-to see what happens next.

viously inspired nature from some
other newspapers which says:
This is not our quarrel, and We are
not championing either principal: but for
the sake of right and justice to both par
ties and the Farmers Union OF Maine,
We are willing 10 open this department

Leaving Mr.. Embree out of the dis

made upon Prof. Wood, and why an
s.ttempt is apparently being made to
break the fertilizer contracts Of the
farmers unions. The common query
Is "Whe is behind this opposition to
