Dear Friends: I I have been a very heavy pipe j smoker for the last thirty years, and ' have always used Edgeworth To bacco (Plug Slice) and find there is no I other tobacco like it for a cool and j well flavored taste. i • I am in the vaudeville business, and i' have traveled all over the world with ' my brother, and always have had very • great pleasure in recommending your !■ tobacco; and many a time I have had to pay double the price in different | • countries for it, but I would sooner do ' • that than smoke anything else, as I ! have tried all different brands. Id. generally buy a one-pound tin and !' roll it up: and believe me, gentlemen, ; | it is real tobacco.

We constructed about twenty sheds and succeeded in keeping them full during the fair. “As well as T can remember, my cut on the receipts was about $11, and it looked like about $1100 to me at the age of eight. The rates were 25 cents for the use of the stall, 50 cents for the stall and one feeding of oats, and one dqllar by the day. “One of the things which I re member most distinctly was stand ing by the village horse-trough, shouting my wares to the farmers as they arrived in town,” Mr. Timelier concluded, smiling. By OSBORNE HOLLAND , The Tavlor Players offer a very ] rood bit of comedy, and mystery at the Heiligi theater in “The Cat and the Canary,” John Willard’s play, famous as a thriller. Nearly all of the characters are well cast and per fectly at ease in their roles, but several opportunities were lost to improve the characterizations in the minor parts. Ferris Taylor himself steals the show as usual as a comedian deluxe, ind frequently injects humor of his >wn manufacture much to the do ight of the audience. Alma Trub, is the gossipy aunt of the heroine, s given an excellent opportunity o shine qnd" certainly acts her part lobly. Jack Daugherty and Leona Faylor also come in for their share if applause but neither merits any mnsual compliments. The scenery is.a trifle too plain ind the properties are rather shabby rut all this goes by unnoticed in lie excitement and fun of the ac ;ion. “The Cat and the Canary” is billed as a melodrama but no one would ever realize it from the Tay or company's presentation. “Four Sons,* now at the Colonial, s perhaps one of the most charming ind delightful pictures ever filmed.

The superb character portrayal of Margaret Mann is so different in its appeal that even the most hardened theater goers are moved to sighs and tears. Mother love is the theme of the entire picture and the direct or has succeeded wonderfully in ob taining reality, so seldom found on the screen. James Hall and Francis'X. Bush man, as two of the sons, are excel lent in their roles and give much support to Margaret Mann, but both are denied the chance to win laurels for themselves. Critics have chosen “Four Sons” as one of the ten best pictures of 1928 and it certainly de serves this distinction even though it is a silent, drama. The perfect portrayal of family life in Germany has a charm all its own and the bits of comedy scattered here and there are of the very highest type. » * * McDonald—“ Manhattan Cock tail,” starring Nancy Carrol, Bieh ard Arlen and Paul Lukas.

Dortha Bailey, freshman in Latin: "I think the new system of regis- I tration is decidedly on improvement. I’orhaps we shall now be able to register without all the enjoyment of standing in lineefor two or three hours when we need our material.” Joseph llolnday, senior in history: "Having for a number of years suf- ! fered changes in technique of regis- 1 tration, 1 have little hope for the future, but 1 am prepared to give the new system a whirl.” Lillian Terrell, freshman in edu cation: “Anything that will elimi nate the trouble and red tape gone through last term will be an im provement. It remains to be seen whether the new system will or not.” Randolph Robe, junior in business idiniuist ration: “It seems like it will be quite an improvement over ast term which certainly did not nove successful.” Elnia.

A A A AAA A A A A Jf A Ay You are looking at history The ha\vker of yesterday who cried his wares in the public places is now but vaguely remembered—swallowed up in yesterday’s seven thousand years. Today the news of goods for sale becomes an indelible record of human achievement. You may take, for instance, the history of transporta tion in America and read that extraordinary tale of pro gress in an unbroken series of advertisements in the files of newspapers—advertisements that inform us of each pro gressive step from the sailings of sloops out of Boston for Philadelphia in the days of Franklin, to the flight of the Air Mail from Mitchel Field to San Francisco in our own day. You may read the startling story of the revolution in household economy and the emancipation of the Ameri can wife and home-builder in the advertisements of the last twenty-five years. But in today’s papers you find an even more amazing record- —the advertisements of radio outfits, automobile equipment, electjrical appliances, foodstuffs, clothing, medicines—things which have raised our civilization to a plane higher than the world has ever known. Do you quite realize that in these advertisements you are exam ining a contemporary contribution to the recorded history of civilization? 1MEMEJ5I3 It takes more than money to advertise It takes honesty
