was ready to admit right then and
there that you can teach an old dog new
smoke-tricks. When the train pulled in
at the station, I bought me tidy red tin
of P. A. for myself. Since then, I've
thrown away enough empties to make
fair-sized tin garage.
Maybe you think that you are all set
on a smoke.program. I just want to
leave this thought with you: until you
have smoked P. A., you have no idea
of how that old pipe of yours can per.
form with real tobacco. Give Prince
Albert chance in your jimmy-pipe.

was q
revelation
to me-!

FOR long time, I wouldn't admit that
anybody could tell me anything about
tobacco. l was satisfied with the brand
I was smoking. At least, I thought was.
And then one day, I borrowed pipe
load of Prince Albert from a fellow
passenger in the smoking-car.
To make long story short, that ex-
perience revised all my previous notions
about tobacco. The very first puff told
me that had been missing something
good up till that moment. 1t was cool
and refreshing as breath of mountain
air. It was sweet and fragrant.

Consul Warns OF
Fake Stock Selling Plan

That an attempt has been made to
carry on a fraudulent stock selling
scheme by a Mexican organization un-
der the name of the Kino Bay Con-
struction corporation, S. A. was the
warning issued Saturday by the gem
eral agent of the department of agri-
culture of Mexico, through Juan Mar
shall, Mexican consul at Douglas.
According to the warning, the COM
pany has offered on the market stock
in an alleged construction and fishing
enterprise, representing that the COM
pany has obtained a strip of land on
.zino bay and established a fishing in
dustry.
The Mexican department of agricul-
ture issues the statement that the strip
of land claimed to have been pur-
chased by the company is the property
of the Mexican government and that
no fishing concession has been obtain-
ed and that no industry has been es-
tablished.
1t is believed by Mexican officials
that the alleged construction company
planned a stock selling campaign in
the United States.
