But Amer ica itself does all that it possibly can to mar this ready receptivity to ward American ideals in the minds of her newly arrived children.. Industri ally, we oppress them. Politically, we allow ignorant ward heelers to round them up in race coteries for voting purposes.' Socially, we keep them apart under national names they have foresworn.

There is a great deal of truth in this. The "hyphenates" we have most to fear are those born and bred in America who think they have found out that America is not good enough or them, and American ideals not good enough for their children.

M WHY THE BEST OF CHEWS IS "SPEAR HEAD" m Its Rich, Sweet, Mellow Flavor Has Been Famous for a Generation MADE OF CHOICEST RED BURLEY The secret of tobacco satisfaction is known only to the man who chews plug tobacco. The reason is that a good chew gets right next to your taste, while the leaf in plug tobacco is in a state o fresh, juicy richness that is not possible in any other form of to bacco. " There's no tobacco in the world that can give you the hearty, wholesome flavor that you get from a delicious chew of Spear Head. Spear Head is made exclusively of ripe, red Kentucky Burley the most richly-flavored chewing tobacco that grows. Still more, only the very choic est red Burley leaf is used for Spear Head. This choice leaf is selected with the most painstaking care, is stemmed by hand, is thoroughly washed free of all foreign matter, and is presssd into Spear Head plugs so slowly that not a drop of juice or an atom of the nat ural flavor escapes. Try Spear Head, and you'll get a sweet, mellow, luscious, satisfying chew that cannot be obtained in any other tobacco. In 10c cuts, wrapped in wax paper. GEO.
