BRITAIN MAY GROW TOBACCO,

Propaganda is being conducted in
Great Britain to urge the growing
of tobacco by farmers.
Extensive experiments have been
made by the British Tobacco Grow
ers' association, whose members view
the outlook with optimism. A COM
mittee that looked into the matter
reported that tobacco could be pro-
duced in the British isles. 1t is
pointed out that the growing of to-
bacco is great source of agricul-
tural prosperity in France and Bel
gium. The Britons therefore see no
reason why the plant cannot be Sue
cessfully cultivated on their soil.

 In the good book where all may
 read,
 To the wedding we soon shall see
 Is very far cry' indeed. Then no record of shower
 In gray or red or white, Such as will grace Christine's bower
 In blaze of sun and stars of night This shower will sure be lacking
 In thunder, lightning, rain, But will have the warmest backing
 From loving hearts and brain. A shower to please, caress,
 One soon to change her name, A throbbing wish to bless
 From the heart of every Dame. The farmer in his 'tater patch,''
 Says " 'twon't be much of show
 CT"
 But he is glad of friendly thatch,
 From the Storm Kings drenching
 shower.
 So if our rhymes lack wit,
 Pointless our phrases seem. Safely in our Club we sit,
 And plan and hope and dream. Hopeful, each member tarries
 In our union, calm, serene, Knowing that although she marries
 We will not lose Christine Married, but we can meet her,
 Straying not far from the fold While later showers may greet her,
 Of silver, perchance of gold. So in this helpful hour
 Our snowy offering bring And the last drop of the shower
 A glistening wedding ring.
