Denies, ngcnnts, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing

of the community to other conditions

As a result of community organisa

community progress have been organ

purpose of bringing their community

the course of counting the ballots,
was doing her beet to keep the tally
straight, meanwhile keeping one ear
open for stray words that might be
said. She caught the name of "Mc
Swiney" in the conversation. Just to
show that she was keeping up with
the procession, she declared, emphat
ically: "Well, the way the voles are
going, I don't think there's a chance
in the world for him to be elected."
Since C'o Duck has taken to trav

One man probably at some time
in his life he has been pinched for
violating some of the auto, laws says
that while citizens are picked up
every now and then for speeding, the
city's truck doesn't even slow up for
corners.
We don't see what he gains by
crabbing. In the good old navy days,
it was understood that a man "rated
everything he got away with.'
We'll bet somebody got fired the
other day. The expressman brought
us a package from Lincoln, and the
charges were under $3.90.
I here s a story that comes to us
of a man who wanted very much to
take an aeroplane ride, but he didn't
feel like squandering his hard-earned
cash for the privilege. So he ap
proached the pilot on the basis of
good fellowship and asked the privi
lege of accompanying him on a short
flight. "I'd like to oblige you, old
top," replied the pilot, "but the ma
chine isn't mine, and the boss needs
the jack." The man who wanted the
ride opened his coat a couple of
inches, and the pilot saw the top of
a bottle sticking out of the inside
pocket. He relented, "ill take you
up,'" he said, "and we'll stay till the
bottle is empty." An Alliance man,
who was there when it happened,
said that the plane didn't come down
for fifty-two minutes, and that he
never saw a pilot take so many
chances or cut so many figures.

buried his fourth wife thanked Jim
for his sympathy, and, speaking oi

There you have Spur's big reason in a
nutshell. It's what an American
Legion man said after he had puffed
a Spur for a moment or two.
Hs knew cigarettes. Found how com'
forting a good one is. Had 16 months
in France. And he lyiew what he was
talking about when he said :
"More Lie a Smoke"
That's because you can taste tl e good
tobacco in Spurs. You get the aroma
of a new and delicious blend of the
finest leaf grown in Turkey, fine Burj
ley and other homegrown tobaccos.
Unmarred bystarch because the seam
is crimped not pasted.
Longer and sweeter in the smoking
slower in the burning. Fresh and
fragrant as you open the pack, be-'
cause it's triplcwrapped.
Priced to be popular and packaged to
be select.
