The rich juices of the leaf are retained in good plugs better than in any other form. For more than a generation Spear Head has held first place as the favor ite high-grade plug chewing tobacco. This unique distinction is due solely to the wonderful quality and flavor of Spear Head—the richest, mellowest, tastiest chew in the whole world. Spear Head is the choicest of all red Burley, hand-stemmed and made into mellow-sweet plugs in a perfectly clean, most sanitary factory. You can’t chew the flavor out of Spear Head, because it’s a part of the tobacco. That rich, ripe, red Burley taste keeps on pleasing you as long as you keep on chewing. Chew Spear Head and you'll be chewing the purc-t and most satisfying tobacco that it’s possible to make. In 10c cuts, wrapped in wax paper. Rural Credits Bill If the proposed rural credits amend ment is enreted by the people at the next regular election, i* will go a long way toward relieving the farmer of the burden of debt and the excessive interest in commissions on the $30- 000.000 farm indebtedness in this state. The average rate of interest on this indebtedness is but lit'le under 9'4 Dir cen*. Under the proposed bill the interest would be five per cent 'io this would be added one per cent to pay off t he prin ipa) and at the end of thirty-six years the entire indebtedne s would be wiped out, the interest paid up and the claim settled on a payment of but six per cent annually on the en tire amount borrowed. This would save one-third the annual interest bill and wipe out the debt in thirty-six years. O. A. C. Press Bulletin.
