THE BANNER-LEDGER—PROSPERITY EDITION—FRIDAY. DECEMBER 17. 1915
^ the national joy smoke
such good tobacco you feel like you could
just eat the smoke!
Ins less progressive neighbor
just across the fence wonders
what makes times so hard. Now
that the first of the year is ap- j
proaching, it is a good time to sub j
scribe for several good farm
papers which will keep you, Mr.
Farmer, in touch with the best
ideas in farming which are being
worked out in the various parts
of the country and will remind
you, always at the right time, of
the many little things you might
do around the farm to increase
your profits and make your home
a batter place to lvie. |
The farm papers are not fil-
led with the writings of high- j
browed professors who have nev-
er in their lives lived on a farm
but, instead, the articles are i
written by experienced men who!
have made a life study of cer-
tain subjects and are qualified to
by other farmers,
you or any other man ever did roll and put
the fire to! Men, we tell you to wise up.
P. A. is crimp cut and stays put—which
means rolling P. A. is as easy as falling off a
log. And it’s good to remember P. A. is put
up in the toppy red bag especially for you
“rollers.” Sells for the price of a jitney ride, 5c.
Now, will the “pipers” kindly open both ears?
Here’s tobacco that has made it possible for
three men to smoke pipes where one
smoked before!
Any way you hook it up, Prince Albert is
tobacco insurance ! Yes, sir, it guarantees
your future as well as ydur present smok-
ings ! And just makes your tongue so jimmy
pipe joy’us that your smoke appetite grows
whopping big. You men who “dassn’t,” we
say you go to P. A., natural-like! Because
there isn’t a bite in a
barrel of this national ^
joy smoke.
Unlimber your old jim-
my pipe! Dig it out of
Yes, sir, P. A. puts a razor edge on your
smoke-appetite-division that’s nobby enough
to be photographed!
No other pipe and ciga-
f ' r ' yp rette tobacco can be like
/ Prince Albert, because
l IJl no other tobacco can
TINGE ALBERTbe made like Prince
j /fk l Albert. The patented
/ f lu process fixes that—and
[ismy m removes the tongue-bite
1 inlJ/l fia and throat parch! Let
that digest! ,
And that line of conver-
sation is 24 kt, whether
you play P. A. in your
old jimmy pipe or roll it
into a makin’s cigarette.
For you can put your little old blue-pencil
O. K. right here that Prince Albert is a
regular double-header for a single admission
—as joy’us to your tongue and taste one
way as the other!
Will the “ rollers ” kindly step forward for a
spell and get some of this listen into their
systems? Because Prince Albert certain
and sure jams more joy into a makin’s paper
than ever before was figured up on two hands!
In the plain language of the hills, you can’t
any more resist such makin’s tobacco than a
bullfrog can pass up a piece of red flannel!
Because P. A. hands to you everything any
cigarette roller ever dreamed-out—rare
flavor, and aroma, and mildness, and body;

speak, and
just like yourself, who have had
experiences which are of value
to you and which they write to
the farm papers, often without
receiving any money in return,
just because they think they can
help men like you who have not
had the same experiences. Get-
ting experience for yourself is
the best way on earth to gain
knowledge, so far as it goes, but
—think how long it takes you
and how much you pay for your
knowledge gained in this way.
A recent letter in one of the
well known farm papers of Tex-
as tells of a farmer who bought
a farm and in the short space of
three years not only paid for it,
but stocked it as well. This un-
usual success he attributes to the
information he got by reading
the farm paper under discussion,
lie probably exaggerated things
}> little, and doubtless he could
have gained as much from any
othev good farm paper, but this
much is certainly true: a plain
farmer can learn almost as much
ft om constantly reading good
farm papers as he could have
leaned by going to an agricultur-
al college when he was younger.
The information he gets from ma-
gazines will not be anything like
as scientific, -of course, but it will
be fully as practical and useful.
A college education costs at least
$1,200; good farm papers host
one dollar per year each. Sub-
stract one from the other and
calculate your profit from read-
ing farm papers.
But the farmer need not de-
pend entirely on magazines for
information. The national govern
ment stands ready to send any
bulletins you may be interested
in, just for the asking. All
Farmer’s Bulletins are free.
Write the Bureau of Pub-
lications of the Department
C., asking for free bulletins on
any subject you want to read up
on, or, better still, ask the Bur-
eau of Publications to send you
monthly their list of bulletins
ready for free distribution. Then
you may see what there is to
choose from and may send for
exactly what you want.

Mrs. Alexander received her

no reason you shouldn’t give
thought to your future plans.

cannot make a good building
without good materials. So
when your plans are ready
insure a good job by specify-

Whenever You Need a General Tonic
Take Grove’s
The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless
chill Tonic is equally valuable as a
General Tonic because it contains the
well known tonic propertiesof QUININE
