Balanccd-that is what
makes Fatima's blend COM
Portable, both While you're
smoking and after,oard, too.
The mildcr tobaccos in
this Turkish blend are so
VOL balanced with the
richer, fullcr-favored leaves
as to entirely offset all "oily
heaviness"- the cause of
discomfort in 60 many other
cigarettes.
And this very blending
which makes Fatimas SO COM
Portable land therefore SO
scnsible) is also just what
imparts that unusually good
Fatima taste.
But even so, you alone can
decide whether or not you
like Fatimas. That's easy to
settle-try them.

Why Advertising Pays

Everybody reads the ads, and
nearly everybody remembers
what he reads. Mrs. Jones re-
marks to Mrs. Smith that she
simply must go to the store and
get a new dress pattern of the
latest creations at some store and
Immediately springs her know
ledge upon Mrs. Smith, who SIM
ply can't resist the temptation to
go and see for herself. Once
there, she generally buys.
Farmer Hankison needs a new
harness, or a plow, or some other
implement of progressive farm
ing. His neighbor has read the
up-to-date ad of the implement
house in the local paper and in
cidentally mentioned that So
and-So carries good article,
which he is advertising quite
heavily. This excites Farmer
Hankinson's curiosity and he
Just drops in to see it. He,
too, often ends with a buy.
Tn W mans club, or the sew
ing circle, or the pink tea ladies
get together and spend the after
loon or evening in gathering up
stray bits of information. Any
thing that has attracted theLeye
of any member comes in for dis
cussion, and nothing is more
dear to their hearts than those
delightful things that were adj
vertised in the last issue of the
paper. Of course they all want
to know about them, and in the
end they buy them.
Bill Doolittle wants a new hat
or summer suit, and the we'll
written ad never gets by him
He drops in and looks over the
suits of which the merchant has
spoke so glowingly. They are
as represented, and he buys.
Yes, they all lead the ads, and
they talk about the goods they
read about, and they buy when
they are sufficiently interested
~ talk about them.
Of course advertising pays.
Everybody knows it pays. Elk.

FARMERS UNIONS IN RUSSIA
Cooperative Societies First Estab-
lished in Siberia In 1894 Have
Proved Successful.

In Siberia the success of coop
erative butter-making, which started
in 1894-95, is attributed entirely to
the formation of butter workers mu-
tual guaranty societies or "artels, y
and the movement spread subse-
quently to the Vologda and Arch
angel governments in European Rus
STA.
The grouping of the various CO.
operative societies into unions was
for long time opposed by the gov
ernment-the first union having
been sanctioned in 1901. But it
was not until 1911 that these unions
received powers to carry out their
natural financial operations. In that
year the Moscow Peoples bank was
formed with 1927 credit societies as
shareholders. This bank has since
become the most important organi-
cation for financing agricultural ma
chinery purchases, for the sale of
agricultural produce and of the cot
tage and kustarny manufactures.
In other branches cooperative So
cieties have been formed for the
purchase and distribution of agricul-
tural machinery and implements. At
tempts have also been made to or
ganize the collection, transportation
and sale of fruit, vegetables and
eggs on cooperative basis. In
south Russia there are several CO.
operative flour mills, and number
of societies have been formed for the
construction of country grain eleva-
tors; the largest elevators are being
provided by the government.
