Only rash enthusiast will say dat-footedly that you'll like certain cigar better than any other you ever tasted. It's entirely up to you to decide whether the taste and mildness of Blackstone make it yom favoritc cigar.
 But facts arc another matter. The Ioo% filler of your 1925 Blackstone is the finest tobacco of its type that Cuba has grown in years. Still sticking to facts; Blackstones are noted for their perfect construction and firm ash, Scientifically made for easy drawing. Invariably even-burning. And as clean as a young trout in mountain brook.
 These facts explain why nearly half of all Blackstones are bought 5 or 10 at time in the handy Pocket Packages-the same full size Blackstones as those sold from cedar boxes.
 Blackstone was fine cigar 52 years ago. It was even finer 10 years ago. It is at its very finest in this year of 1923.

FlLIPINOS WILL
VOTE NEXT YEAR
ON INDEPENDENCE

MANILA, Nov. s. The Philip.
pines independence plebiscite will
be conducted early in 1926, accord
ing to provision Of the Nationalists
majority party's bill which was
completed today.
The bill will be submitted TO the
legislature within two days. 1t
provides for plebiseite within
three months after its passage.
Adoption OF the bill is said TO be
assured.
This dramatic and unexpected
stroke by Nationalists has produced
q sensation in the islands, where
it is regarded as the boldest move
ever made by subject people TO
obtain their liberty.
Chief among the reasons prompt
ing the move is the statement re-
peatedly heard in the United States
that the Filipinos have not as a
people expressed their views on in
dependence. The Nationalists de-
cided to accept this challenge and
to stop the anti-independence pro-
paganda now being carried on in
the United States.
The bill reads in part: 1.-The
plebiscite will silence forever those
claiming that independence is mere
ly the favorite issue of professional
politicians.
