Good Clothes an Asset
1t is no use denying that people feel
more courageous when they know they
look well, and that good clothes are an
asset that counts in achieving success.
That does not mean eXtravagant spend
ing, or the buying of things one cannot
most that gives most satisfaction to the
one who wears it or o the one that sees it.
Clever dressers are those that get the
most of their money not those that spend
most, but those who think before they
purchase, and are able to recognize the

KEEP EVERLAsTINGLY At 1T.
This Is the Only Way to Prevent Po-
tato Blights and RIOTS.

There are three essentials in spray
ing potato crops.
The first is to start early, when the
vines are about six inches high.
The second is to spray so as to cover
the plant-above, below, on the right
side on the left side, in front and at
the back,
The thtd is to keep at it so that the
spray covering will keep up with the
growth of the plant, and be renewed
as often as washed off by beating
rains.
1t looks easy. 1t is easy. But first
the would-be sprayer must have the
right idea.
Potato bugs cause people to start
spraying early-if they did not there

WHY 1T WAS so EASY FOR
BARNUM.

P. T. Barnum said the American
people liked to be fooled. He might
have said they like to fool themselves.
Germany produces 80 bushels of pota-
toes per capita and wastes none. Amer
lea raises four bushels and can't give
them away. Thousands of bushels of
potatoes are going to waste for want
of a market at a price less than the
cost of production. And this in spite
of the fact that cereals are hard to
get at any price. Potatoes moved
faster in 1917 at SO a bushel than they
have done In 1918 at $1.25. What is
the answer?

would be no vines left to spray, and
no crop worthy the name. The bug,
however can easily be seen, and one
can wait until the bug appears before
spraying.
With blight, especially the late
blight, it is different. The fungus can
not be seen, but is always lying in am
bush. 1t is in league with the weather.
since the very weather which favors
the blight makes spraying difficult.
Yet whenever the spores of this dis
ease come in contact with the spray
covered leaf they are absolutely killed
and the damage which they might do
is saved to the farmer.
Let us make some rules about pota-
to spraying:
l. Spray often enough to keep up
with the growth of the vine.
If the spraying is started when the
vines are SIX inches nlgn, TINS means
three or more sprayings during the
course of the season.
2. Respray whenever the spray ma
terial Is washed off by beating rains.
This may sound serious, since some
times heavy rains come almost every
day; but remember, spray materials
are adhesive and last long time.
Furthermore. it is in the season Of
beating rains that spraying is most
needed and after all most profitable.
3. Cover the whole plant-not simply
the top leaves of the top branches.

This covering, however, should be
with mist, not with sprinkle. 1t
should be from beneath and from the
sides as well as from the top.
A nozzle per row is sufficient to be-
gin with. When the vines get larger,
two nozzles are needed. When the
vines cover the rows effective spraying
cannot be done with less than three
nozzles, one at the top and two at the
sides. This means that plenty Of pow
er must be had so that every inch of
the vines can be covered.
Sometimes would-be sprayers may
mistake the quantity of spray. For the
first spray, so gallons per acre is
enough. Naturally, as the vines grow
larger more spray is needed. Three
times so may be needed when the
vines are large enough to lodge be-
tween the rows.

THE AMERICAN TOBACCO
INDUSTRY y

Washington, June 19-Director Sam
l.. Rogers, of the Bureau of the Cen
sus, Department of Commerce, will
soon issue Bulletin 1856, on the Amer
lean Tobacco Industry, compiled I'M
der the direction of Mr.. William l..
Austin, chief statistician for tobacco.
The bulletin contains data regarding
the production, consumption, and
stocks of tobacco in the United States,
the prices obtained for the staple by
the growers, the quantities of the sew
eral products manufactured there
from, the revenue on tobacco collect
ed by the Government, and the inn
ports and exports of manufactured
and manufactured tobacco. The
purpose of the report has been to as
semble in one publication the statis-
tics for the various phases If the in
dustry and to present them in conven-
lent form for ready reference. The
statistics of stocks were collected by
the Bureau of the Census; those OF
acreage and production by the Bureau
of Crop Estimates, of the Department
of Agriculture, except for decennial
census years; those of consumption
of products manufactured, and of rev.
enue collected, by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue, of the Treasury De-
partment; and those Of imports and
exports by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The amount of leaf tobacco shown
by the report as in the hands of man.

1918, was 1,175,234,e57 pounds, as
against 1,044,SS5,10S pounds held or

interest Is the people, and America
is fighting for their peace and happi-
ness, now at stake.
This offer of War-Savings Stamps Is
a democratic offer of the securities OF
the richest Nation in the world and
presents an opportunity for every
man, woman, and child to help ac-
cording to his or her ability to save.
Aside from the mere raising of
money required b ythe Government,
the war-savings plans has untold pos
sibilities for promoting the habit OF
thrift and saving among the American
people. The boy or girl who saves
and by SO doing practices some self
denoal is better for 1t. The man or
woman who saves Systematically in
creases self-respect and becomes a
better employee and better citizen
and has fuller appreciation of our
institutions than has the one who
spends as fast as he earns.
Every dollar spent needlessly OF
thoughtlessly prevents just SO much
labor or material or food from being
used for the Nations immediate ne.
cessities. Money buys nonessentials
but nonessentials demand service ant
materials to produce them. Saving
through the purchase of War-Savings
Stamps, will give more than money tc
the Nation. 1t will gvie it the ability
to secure the services, the materials
and the food that are thus released
for the support of our armies in the
field and our navy at sea.
The leaders Of American life car
perform no greater service to theil
country, their employees, their asso'
ciates, or themselves than by giving
their earnest support to further In
every way the sale of War-Savings
Stamps among the men, women, ant
children with whom they come In
daily contact, and the Government Is
confident that they will do their par
to make war savings a success.

cites, and 466,165,72S pounds of chew

In addition $S7654,149 cigars and ~
594, 662.94O cigarettes were made in

|, On the basis of revenue-stamp
sales, the numbers of cigars and CT

diction of the Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue are estimated at 9,050,-

ly The increase In the production of
cigarettes in registered factories DUR
ing recent years is a striking one,
amounting to no less than $50 per
cent for the six-year period 1911-1917;
and when the production in bonded
manufacturing warehouses in 1917,
for which no data are yet available, Is
taken into account, 1t is probable that
the total will reach, or closely ap-
proximate, 40 billions, The exports of
cigarettes during 1917 totaled 1928
$4,000. The imports from foreign
countries and shipments from the
Philippines were relatively very
small, amounting to only 1892
pounds, or about 100000 or 12,0OO,-
600 cigarettes. during 1917. The net
production, in one year, of cigarettes
available for American consumption
was thus not far from 33 billions
Even this enormous number, however
does include cigarettes rolled by the
smoker from loose tobacco, concern
ing which no data are available.
During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1917, the internal revenue collected
on manufactured tobacco and its pro-
ducts amounted to $1O3, 2O1,592.

THE NATIONAL NEED

The sale of War-Savings Certifi-
Gates is a part of the Governments
program for financing the war. New
err in its history has our country been
faced with the necessity of providing
for the payment of such large sums Of
money as it is now called upon to
meet On the other hand, the Nation
has never been in stronger financial
condition than it is today.
Congress has appropriated more
than $4,000, 100000 for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1918. This tremen-
dous sum is necessary for the main
tenance of the Army, the Navy, the
building of a great merchant marine,
the construction of aircraft, the ex-
penses of other governmental depart
menth and activities, and loans to 9TH
err nations fighting at our side.
The Government is now using the
following means to meet this expendi-
ture, namely:
Taxation;
Sale of Liberty Bonds;
Sale of Savings Certificates
and Stamps;
Sale of United States Certificates
of Indebtedness.
The aggregate amount of WARSAW
ings Certificates authorized by Con-
gress represents approximately one
tenth of the amount of money appro-
priated by it for the present fiscal
year.
While the Nations need is great,
the patriotism of our people and their
willingness to offer their lives and
properly for the principles of freedom
and democracy are infinitely greater.
