JUDGING A CIGAR.

How can the ordinary person who
smokes tell Il good cigar from Il poor
one This question was put to a
prominent manufacturer, who answer
ed in this fashion:
There is but one way that | know.
In order to get everything that is in a
cisar--the aroma and taste--it is nee
essary to light the cigar, take a couple
of puffs, then allow the smoke to pass
through the nostrils. When you do
this YOU get two things that are in /,
weed, the aroma and the taste
1T is interesting to Il man who
knows the business to see il smoker
take Il cigar, look at it and then place
it to his nose for SMELL Neither the
look nor smell of an unlighted cigar
means anything.
Il repeat, it is necessary to light il
and start to smoke it in order to learn

The Wind.

There is probably as much wind IN
the country as there is in the city,
although not as many people complain
about it in the country. This is prob =
ably because there are not as many
people in the country as there are in
tho city. The wind has been u great
nuisance ever since people first be-
gan wearing hats. SO far all efforts
to do something about the wind have
failed and so something should per-
haps be done about mats. 1t would
rid tho world of lots of worry and
frctfulncss if all the people would
agree to go out in the next high wind
with their hats on and refuse to chase
them. Let the wind have them to blow
about forever n lot of us might die OF
colds in the head. but our descendants
If any, would be free and happy

Regarding the Swimming Pool.

Mr. Editor think MissOula is in
great need for Il swimming pool. For
instance. last summer we boys would
go swimming II one of us would get
drowned In deep water with a current
in the swimming hole. the one who was
trying to save the drowning boy, he
may also lose his life.
II we have a plunge there isn't so
much danger of getting drowned. be-
cause there are no currents but there
are life savers to prevent drowning.

Editor MlSSOullan:
Sir: | notice you seem discourag gcd
about the swimming pool project. This
is. however. unnecessary if you are go
ing to make it real community prof.
ect. and not allow some property owner
or contractor to make fortune out
of the idea. Probably, also, everyone
who has loose dollar at the present
moment has already subscribed. The
others are waiting to see If they will
ever see another dollar. That is my
case. but III tell what I'll do-If l fail
to locate that spare dollar | will hold

is no reason why labor should cost the

LETTERS FROM the
MISSOULIAN FAMILY
Editor Mlissoulian:


The new Encyclopedia Britannica, as
you know, was issued in two forms
one printed on'thick paper and the 9TH
er on India paper. The use Of India
paper was a tremendous innovation 1t
was an experiment pure and simple.
Some of my friends in the publishing
world in London laughed at the idea:
others said It was certainly worth try
ing out, but none said it would be sue
cessful.
We let the public decide the ques-
tion for themselves. You can judge of
the success of this entirely new way
of issuing the Britannica by the fact
that 81 per cent OF our subscribers
purchased the Britannica printed on
India paper. The other 3 per cent were
+, libraries.
We now find it impossible to get any
more India paper on account Of the
war Therefore we have to announce
the end of the Britannica printed on
India paper. Hereafter anyone who
| wants the Britannica will have to be
content with the thick paper
| Now what l have said above would
not justify you in printing this letter
were 1t not for the fact, admitted by
all scholars. that the Encyclopedia
britannica Is an educational work If
its publication is to be continued. and
If we are compelled by circumstances
over which we as publishers have no
control. to issue it on thick paper. it is
n question whether 1t can be made a

Of buyers for the India paper volumes.
