A pipe-smoker's
challenge to
other smokers
Is there a smoker in the
audience who can
answer this one?

Nearly every smoker is particular
about the kind of tobacco that goes
into his pipe. While he may smoke q
pipeful from a friends pouch for the
sake Of companionship, for day-in-and-
day-out smoking he prefers his own
brand.
And yet if you ask the average
smoker what it is he likes about his
tobacco, he may have difficulty in
answering you Immediately.
Mr.. Joe Rivers, whose letter fol-
lows, is a confirmed Edgeworth
smoker. In attempting to describe
what he likes about Edgeworth, he
coins the word Observation-Disclosures"
But as this does not entirely satisfy
him, he puts the question up to Other
Edgeworth smokers.
Larus & Brother Company.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:
Being pipe smoker OF no mean expert
ence (having tried most pipes and pipe to-
baccos) I've watched your smokers let
tiers in the magazines for some explanation
of taste that for me applies only to
Edgeworth.
tits extremely difficult to describe this,
because it seems to come as the smoke
filters through the mouth and nostrils at
the end of drawfr the pipe-a sort OF
combined Observation-Disclosures" that most
satisfies the smoke appetite.
Why don't you get some Of your smok-
srs who can write, to describe this?
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Joe Rivers

and Story

! Visitors in old Italy come back
home with wonderful stories OF
blue Italian skies, of the land OF
romance. and particularly of the
charm of old Italy as expressed
in song and delightful melody.
And they tell us of rowing minis
trel bands, who serenade most
beautifully with Italian harp,
with violin cello. and quite often
with the old Italian grind organ.
AS a part of the program to
be given here on the evening of
Feb. 18th at 7:30 in the Leesburg
High School Auditorium, by the
Harp Singers Company, the
street songs and scenes of old
Italy will be featured. The same
old beautiful Italian melodies
which have charmed the ages,
and the same old instrument are
used, the harp, cello. violin, and
last-but not least-the old-fash-
toned grind organ. The latter of
course is only used for the novel
entrance in the Italian scenes.
! but it's effective in ban gih q cut
the atmosphere Of old Italy per-
meating this part of their inter-
esting and delightful program.
The four clever artist compris-
ing the Harp singers are not

a long ways. They are, rather,
four mighty talented young ladies
from Chicago, and they are bring
ling with them a splendid mis-
cellaneUus concert program, both
vocal and instrumental, with
some fine readings and character
work. The harp solos. too, are

picture is indeed one long to be
remembered.

PARENT-TEACHERS GIVE SILL

The P. T. AS entertainment on Fri
day night, February End, at the
home of Mrs. S. j. Powell. A neat
little sum was realized through the
efforts of these noble women, which
will go for the benefit of the library.
This hustling organization was the
one to purchase the books for the
library, and are expecting to pur-
chase more at an early date, which is
magnamimous accomplishment.
Again we say, "Hurrah for the Par
Teacher Association and the spirit
Of push that is so manifest in them. :"
The world might prove poor place in
which to abide were it not for men,
though it would prove a much poorer
p!ace, less many of the comforts and
advantages that we enjoy were it not
for the leading part women plays in
it.
The Parent-Teacher Association is
one of the very best women organiza-
ticns in Georgia, inasmuch as they
espouse that cooperation of parent,
teacher and pupils that is so essential
to successful educational movement,
TIE Association of this city has ac-
complished much good thus far since
their organization and its membership
is composed of strong personality
that assures us that only this session
of our school, but that each succeed
ing one shall be better than the past.
Long live the Parent-Teacher or
ganization and may it's membership,
with like zeal, multiply.

ping in the convict camps and
the state prison farm will be
taken under consideration by the
governor and the prison commits

Governor HardWick, it is said,
has virtually made UP his mind
that the constitution Of Georgia
forbids the whipping of ccnv;cts.
The constitr ton provides that
neither whipping nor Punishment
from the state shall be imposed
upon any person as punishment
for crime. The whipping Of a
convict or a prisoner at the state
farm is an incidental part of the
imposed upon him as a
for crime, the gov
is inclined to believe, and,
therefore, in his opinion, comes
within the meaning of the con-
stitution. Attorney General
Napier has given an opinion
which he says the whipping Of
convicts for violating the rules
governing then is not prohibited
by law.

When the government corpora

If the federal corporation sus-

in an excise tax on the wheat crop

serve as check on overproduction
and would get away from opposition

the government, by following out
this scheme would not establish a
