MUST SEEK SMALLER HOMES
One Big Landed Proprietor After
Another is Dividing and Selling
His holdinas-In Same Families
for Many Centuries.

London.-England's great estates
are crumbling under the weight of
taxation and death duties and one big
landed proprietor after another among
the nobility is dividing and selling his
holdings, many of which have been in
the hands of single families for CEN
turtles.
The latest indication that peers are
nnding IL necessary to seek smaller
homes comes In the announcement of
the duke of Portland that he may have
to abandon his palatlal mansion,
Welbeck Abbey, In Nottinghamshire.
This is only one of the residences of
the duke. who owns some 100000
acres in England.
Duke Expresses Fears.
For centuries past landed estates
nave been handed down from genera
tion TO generation" said the duke.
addressing his tenants on the occasion
OF the coming Of age of his son Lord
Francis Cavendish. Landlords and
tenants have lived on terms of mutual
trust and affection. fear. however
that the state of things is passing
away, for with the present weight Of
taxation and the extremely ofierous
death duties. the future may become
very uncertain for all landed pro-
prietors. If this Is good for the
country, I certainly do not complain
with regard to my own case, II may
not be possible for me and my family
to continue TO reside nj Welbeck. but
j fear that there can be little doubt
that those who come after me will not
be able To do So"

$4,000 Army Wiped Out.
Prior to the opening of recent hos
tilities General Lu had an army of
nearly $1,000. He lost 1t all within
month by mutiny, desertion, surren-

The Cantonese have won. They at
tribute their victory to the righteous
ness Of their cause, to disaffection
among the Kwangsi forces toward
their leader and to better organization

assurances given the people Of
Kwangsi of noninterference with their
ambition for self-government. and to
DIR. Sun Yat-sen's political doctrine of
representative government.
The military governors of Kwantung

Ing revenue for military purposes. bur
densome taxes were imposed to the
detrlment Of trade and Industry, and
millions OF dollars of worthless paper
money issued without security.
The Kwangsl people themselves have
played an important part in helping
the Cantonese to drive the militarists
out of the province. Besides organic
ing revolutionary forces to supplement
the Canton armies, they have carried
on valuable propaganda to convince
their fellow clansmen of the good in
tentions of the Cantonese.
Cantonese leaders now declare that
they have no ambition TO dominate
Kwangsi. Gen. Chen Chung ming has
repeatedly refused to allow military
authorities occupying Kwangsi towns
and cities to establish political organs

or misunderstood by those who are an

Both kinds pack SO well that they

"Let me try
your tobacco"

Only an unlucky man asks you that.
He Is either out of tobacco or he isn't
satisfied with the tobacco he has
picked for himself.
Tosmoke pipe tobacco that doesn't
suit you to T is to feel little irri-
tated every time you light up.
Where you should be taking your
comfort, you feel sore over something
missing.
No one is so patient rs a pipe
smoker. He will smoke one kind Of
tobacco that doesn't quite satisfy him
until the cows come home, or until
some trouble crowds him SO that he
notices how little comfort he is actual
ly getting from his little old pipe.
But he hasn't been happy-dimly
he has realized it all the time.
And when he asks someone else for a
pipeful and finally comes upon the
smoking tobacco that is just his-oh
me, oh my, but he's happy mani
He now gets out OF his smoking
what Others get-the solid comfort
that takes the sting out of the alarm
clock mornings and helps his nerves to
relax at the end Of hard day.

Children, no matter how well
trained at home. regard the meal

apt to prove very fruitful-thanks
to other peoples fruit.
