now one of the country's sound think
ers. He is also an authority on im-
can as to any others.
An English scientist says that sub
terranean stores of radium are gradu
ally increasing the earth's tempera
migration, and he says that, having ;tUre which helps to dispel the depres-1
met Americans in the cabins of great ;sjon caused by the statement that in
steamships and immigrants in the a million years or so, ice would cover

that he has had to fight the battles j '
w Americanism, ana not m tne steer-1 a Hollnnd man stipulates in hit-
age. He says that the "hyphen" J wni that his wife shall have non of
is most prominent in Americans who
live abroad most of the year "and
show their patriotism by eating tur
key in Paris at Thanksgiving," and
not amongst those who come
America for refuge and opportunity,
"I have seen the children of our
American merchant princes in Eng
lish and Swiss schools passing through
educational processes which were de
signed to sweat out of them their
American blood
"If 'government by the people, of
the people and for the people' perish
es from the earth, it will be .from
the exclusive suburb, and not from
the foreign quarter."
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. The
thing that ' America pre-eminently
stands for is more vitally realized by
those who have come newly into con
tact with it, than by those who have
his estate in event she re-marries.
One way of having the last "say"
There are 20 miles of trenches to

Switzerland ,and the North Sea the
British and French armies have at

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.
