He who smokes last
smokes best
Wherein our correspondent
takes a long shot at
GAINESVILLE, 0.

When we printed letter from q
smoker who protested u preference for
the early morning smoke, apparently
we started something. Almost the
next mail brought along batch Of
letters, among which the following is
q fair sample:
Dear Sirs:
VIII you allow me to take issue with
your A. X. X. from GAINESVILLE who IN
lists that the best pipe of the day is the
one smoked right after breakfast?
OF course, have no intimate knowl-
edge Of local conditions down in Southern
Ohio, but up here the majority of us reg
ular pipe smokers have decided Leaning
towards the last pipe OF the evening.
Take night when you are sittingi in
front of the fire after the neighbors have
gone. Your wife suggests it is bedtime,
and while you admit 1t is, you have
craving for one last smoke. She goes on
rectly. But instead you take out your
pipe and light up. You smoke slowly
and peacefully, calling out at intervals
that you'll be there in n minute. Only
you don't go until the last ash has died
In the bowl of your ripe.
That's my idea Of the best smoke OF
the day.
Orsuppose you've been out TO stiff,
formal party where all they gave you
were cigars and cigarettes. You get
home about 12 G. M, take of your glad
rags and jump into something cool and
comfortable. Then you find your old
pipe, hunt up the blue can OF Edgewortn
and light up for real smoke.
Yes, sir, for every smoker A. X. X.
can produce who likes his after break
fast pipe beet, I'll guarantee to name q
dozen men who prefer the last smoke OF
the evening. And most Of us are Edge
worth smokers, too.
Yours very sincerely.

What is the matter when this ma

it in an effort to solve the problem
of capital and labor. Perhaps the
secret lies in the fact that the intel

on the side of the capitalists. II
they are not capitalists themselves,
then they are controlled by capital
lists. This problem and the prob
lem of food distribution are the two

birthday since he saw his great ideal

SCRAP heap by the senate. Attaining
the age Of sc after a terrific battle
to regain his health, the white haired
leader Of America during the war
now sees his dream of the Versailles
treaty fight probably coming true;
He gave his health to fight for his
contention that America might lead
the way toward rehabilitation OF Eur
one. After isolating himself for
nearly three years Wilson sees his
government seeking way 10 prevent
a collapse that threatens Germany
and other parts of the world. One
step in that direction was taken by
Senator Borah, bitter foe OF the
League, but now urging the adoption
of a resolution calling for conference
to put Europe back on its feet. Bor-
abs argument bears striking slIni-

fight for the Versailles treaty, Sen
