You know ssftss toasted" But
Go you Know why?

7 UCKY STRIKE is the toasted cigarette. Lucky Strike is
IL the toasted pipe tobacco. And because Lucky Strike is
toasted it. preserves the Burley flavor for you until you smoke it.
The exact reason for this is interesting. You see, when
Lucky Strike is toasted the heat closes the pores in the Burnley
leaves, and literally seals in the Burley flavor. 1t stays there for
months-years-unti it is released by burning in your pipe or
cigarette.
Or take the method of the bee. You cen put a honey-comb
away for months or years and the flavor is always there-nside.
Thisis because the bees put a thin coating ofwax over the honey
and seal it in, so it lasts forever.
The sam with Lucky Strike. Toasing the tobacco seals in the delicious
Buney flavor, to be "caned fer when wanted ~
Whether you are a cigarette smoker or a pipe smoker you should get
acquainted with the special and unequaed favor oftoasted Burley tobacco
to be found only in the Lucky Strike brand. Buy a package and you will
notice this improved taste Immediately. -

AGE OF rHE SORT SNAP.

In AS You Like It." Shakespeare.
speaking through Jacques. tells of the
seven ages Of man." OF course, the
category Is complete and truthful, but
we think that more modern times have
suggested an eighth age. that might be
inserted between the whining school
boy and the soldier, bearded like
pard, and that Is the "Age Of the Soft
Snap" when the whole end Of life is
to get as much as possible for moth
ing. A boy generally reaches that
stage when he Is Just out Of school,
with smattering of Latin and alge-
bra, and imaglnes that the world owes
him q living, and all he has to do Is
to pick 1t off when the world swings
around his way, observes writer in
Ohio State Journal. Nothing will do
him but soft snap, an easy Job with
big pay and infinite leisure for society,
with motor rides and dressing for din
ner. There are many such young men,
or rather boys, just stepping on the
stage of life, to whom the soft snap
seems to be the blossom of their years.
They spend the beauty and strength of
their lives trying to get hold of 1t.
How many noble youth, is utterly
spoiled by waiting for soft snap;
and the longer they wait, the less fit
ted they are for any kind of real bust
ness. They are today the chief apos-
ties of the high cost of living and are
looked upon as such by the people.
No person can be a soft-snapper If
he possesses any real pride. He will
take the first work that comes to hand
and depend upon his merit and worth
for his promotion and success. And
now to the sweet damsels, let us say
word-steer clear of the soft-snap-
pers, until they show some disposition
to work out their own salvation.

The plan proposed by the local post
of the American Legion to change the
names of eight streets of the village
in honor of the eight young Benning-
ton soldiers who were killed in battle
was endorsed by the village meeting
in rather perfunctory and half
hearted way, the bulk of the voters
present apparently not knowing what
it was all about The resolution as
adopted leaves the matter in the con
troll of the board of trustees and it Is
one of those things which will be
entirely acceptable if done with iudg-
ment and good taste. There are many
street names which mean nothing
while there are others of such long
standing, attachment and significance
that it would be a sacrifice to change.
The selection of changes should be
made with care and the whole job
done at one time.

but somehow the nations put their
trust in the men of more sober judg-

great General Pershing thought. there
would never again be great war.
Yet they followed their profession from
a sense of duty. When the occasion
came it found them ready. So why be

From the straws blown along by

growing evident that Herbert Hoover
is a strong competitor for the Repub

Leonard Wood has carried few
scattering primaries already he'd
Hoover has developed unexpected
strength everywhere. 1t is rumored
hereabouts among the men-folks that
at recent meeting of the women

Hoover, regardless of the party affili-

One thing that was overlooked at

III ion directing the calling of next
years meeting on Morgan Park
or at Hunts grove in order
to have room for those who
would like to attend in some degree

land it was customary to hold public
and municipal gatherings in the vii age
Church. The Gus ON still prevails in

big enough to hold the annual village
meeting and it is not impossible that
one of them might be secured for the
purpose. Certainly Library hall is no
longer suitable.
