They are a logitimate'investmcnt and a safe source of income, but stock bought on a shoe-string with the hope that there will be a lucky break in the market in your favor, well it is the Chinaman's chance you are taking. It is one example of that itch to make a pile in a hurry and paint the town red. But the pile even if made by one of those lucky streaks, never lasts. The sucker goes back to get more, and then he is “cleaned." And the blue sky stock that a glib tongued gent sells, when you - buy that you don’t even have the Chinaman’s chance.

Last year the production ex- ceeded 60,000,000, or approximate- ly 600 for every man, woman and child within our borders. Fortu- nately. as some may think, a con- siderable proportion of them were exported, chieflyto the Orient. Today more than 450,000 farm- ers, in 42 states, are growing‘to- bacco on 2,000,000 acres, and more than 60,000. plants, employing 183,000 individuals are engaged in the manufacture. The leaf tobac- co industry alone aggregates more than $500,000,000 a year and the nation’sflintcrnai revenue from this source is in excess of $300,. 000,000 annually. It is a lot of money. - - You may abominate tobacco and all its works, but you cannot blind yourself to the part it plays in our national life. ven though that defense which . atthew Ar- nold set up for wine-drinking— “that it adds to the pleasure of 1iving”—may fail, it will not [sit for earnest advocates when its enemies bring it to the bar of pub- lic opinion. - TO TRY FOR. am RECORD MINEOLA, N.
