Kelly and Pollock, widely known

here for the first time. They are a
quaint and funny couple and they
have an act designed to enable them

FRENCH ARE FEELING
SHORTAGE IN TOBACCO

(srGc,AL co~Rsssospuses MoNNiSo JOURNAL,
Paris, June 1S.--There is a short
age of tobacco In France 1t orig
mated in decreased production and is
being aggravated by increased con-
sumption. The French crop of 1916
was $4,000 tons. as compared with
25,0 900 tons in 1916.
Certain popular brands of ciga-
rettes have been unobtainable in Paris
for ten days. To smokers complaints,
the state tobacco monopoly officials
reply that restriction in the use of
tobacco is necessary.
France smokes about 5000 tons of
tobacco a month on the average, of
which nearly 5000 tons must now be
imported under conditions that do
not permit any assured regularity in
receipts.
The increase in sales of cigarettes
during the first four months of this
year was 2O0.000,000 over 1915. This
seems large until 1t Is recalled that
this quantity represents only forty
cigarettes for each soldier. British
and French. modified in France, to
say nothing of the civilians.

Of the entire industry in America.
In a letter ASKING the service. the
president wrote:
1T Is In my mind not only to bring

est and most effective contact with

measure of official recognition to an

medium for the dissemination of pub

may establish direct and authorita-

THE members of the Cloudy City

Leadville to know that We are ready
at any time to meet our employers in

Knowing the suffering 1t will bring

Americans should be, and we cannot
do so on $3.50 day.
