What exciting magic there is in cigarette advertising!
 Let's look at one of its greatest Illusions ...that cigarettes can be mysteriously given superior FLAVOR"
 THs EXPLANATION, Just three factors con. trol the flavor of a cigarette. The addition of artificial favorins.. ...the blending of various tobaccos.. ..and the quality of the tobaccos themselves. Quality is the most impor. tant. Artificial favorine can never wholly disguise the poor flavor of cheap tobaccos.

1882, S5.32 per centum of all mon- ey obtained by tho imposition of the share tax, the state retaining the remainder or such portion of tho proceeds therefrom as is im- posed upon nonresident shares on state banks and domestic insur- ance compalnes. Because of the di- minishing returns from this source, the finances of towns mainly in Hartford County have been great ly disturbed, the shares of banks and insurance companies being held in largest amounts in the vl- cinlty of the main office of such corporations.
 "The situation in Hartford, which benefits most from the stock tax distribution, is of interest. In 1880 the amount of money re- celved by tho treasurer of Hart ford from the state treasurer on account of the stock tax amounted to $1,S70,7S9.57; in 1881, $1,2S0,- 142.14; and in 1932, $50S,075.72. Thus Hartford received $1,362,- 713.S5 less in 1932 than in 1880. That tho city's receipts from the same source will show Q substan- tial loss in 1888, is very certain. However great tho loss in the pres- ont circumstance of the law, 1t must bo made up almost wholly by the imposition of additional tax es upon roal estate, if expendi- lures by Hartford are to continue as at present. Other towns wherein owners of such shares reside arc injured proportionately to that suffered in Hartford" '

One of Houdini's most spectacular escape feats was performed with huge milk can filled with water. He invited persons of the audience to bring padlocks and lock him into the can. He got into the can, the lid was put on and fastened with several padlocks. A screen was placed In front of the can. Assstants stood by with stop watches and fire axes to save him from drowning after certain time. About minute asr the screen cree wa. removed: padlocks remaining intsctl

for proper regulation of public utilities.
 Unde provision of one measure a commission of five would be named to study the operation of existing statutes concerning public utilities and public service com panies, and prepare remedial legis- lation. The commission would be appointed by the governor before July 1, 1932 for two years. It would serve without pay. It would be empowered to compel attend- ance of witnesses and produce books and papers as are reason ably necessary in the investiga- tions. An appropriation of $10,- 900 for expenses is asked.
 The commission's report would be rendered the governor in time for presentation to the General Assembly in 1885.
 The second bill, identical to the one which was defeated at the 1881 session, would empower the public utilities commission to investigate rates and services of public utilities companies on it's own authority. Under existing statutes investiga. tions are made only on petitions from consumers and the expense of underwriting the costs of iitiga- tions has usually been prohibitive.
 Both measures were referred to

Chance for Profit in
the Raising of Colts

Everything is In favor OF farmers
making money raising colts on cheap
feed during the next few years, In
the opinion of e. r. Robbins. live
stock extension specialist of the col
lege of agriculture. University of
Illinois.
The number OF horses is getting
smaller, prices Of horses are going
up, and there is no chance of in
creasing the number In hurry, he
explained.
There are only about 10000 colts
under one year of age In the state,
If conditions in Shelby county can be
taken as typical, and Robbins says
they can. In that county there
were only four colts under a year of
age in 100 horses that were entered
in the colleges project to control
horse parasites.
Twice as many colts may be
raised in order to check the steady
decline in number of horses, which
has been progressing for more than
a dozen years. Robbins said. At the
present time there are only $4,000
horses on farms of the state, or
81 per cent as many as II years
ago, he reported.

MANY Farmers Lose Land

There are about 6,300,000 farms
in the United States. OF this num-
Der 100000 carry mortgages. The

high, especially in the last few
years. 1t is estimated that 220,500
farm owners become renters yearly,
and today one of every six farmers
has been denoted to the rank of
renter. The average farm measures
16O acres, and the average mort
gage on a farm is about 81 an acre.
With an increase in the price of

getting cheap and economical pow
er out Of Illinois 36S.0O0 horses and

perienced drivers have worried that
it would take a lot Of time to hitch
up and unhitch the teams.
An average Of a minute was all
the total time It took TO hitch up
and unhitch a horse in big-team out
fits entered in two plowing contests.
There were II teams ranging In size
from FIVE to eight horses and In
cluding a total of 110 horses. The
average time of hitching TO the
plows was 3S seconds a horse and
the average time of unhitching was
% seconds a horse.
Time was counted from the time
the driver started to drive his team
into position at the plow until he
started blowing. At the close OF
the contest, time was counted from
the time the driver stopped the
plow until he started away from the
plow with his team ready TO go to
the barn.
Five-horse teams were hitched up
in two to three minutes. six-horse
teams In from three TO five minutes,
and eight-horse teams in from four
to seven minutes for the team. The
teams were unhitched at the rate Of
one TO three minutes for six-horse
teams, and two minutes. 20 seconds
to four minutes for eight-horse
teams. The remarkable uniformity
of speed attained by the II men in
dicates that most drivers could do
as well.
Big-team users have repeatedly
said that the time of hitching and
unhitching does not worry them at
all. The larger the number Of
horses In their teams, the more work
they can get done day.
