F ever men are "Tom" and "Bill" to each othex,
it's when good pipes are a-going. If ever good
pipes go their best, 'tis when Velvet's in tha
bowl.
Fcr Velvet is a mighty friendly smoke.
Kentucky Buriey is the leaf that Nature made
for pipes. Wholesome and hearty, honest as
the day. And Velvet is that same good Buriey leaf,
brought to mellow middle ego.
Fcr eight long seasons Velvet "meditates" in
wooden hogsheads, throwing off the rawness of
"young" tobacco—truly "ageing in the wood." Out
Velvet comes—cool, calm and generous—the tobacco
Nature made good, kept good and made better.

Velvet's sweetness is the sweetness of good
tobacco, not "put on" like ' frosting" on a cake. Its
mildness comes from natural ageing, not from having
the life baked out. Its fragrance is true tobacco fra-
grance, not a perfume. And Velvet makes an a
Number One cigarette. Roll one.
As good old Velvet Joe says:
"Fill yo' heart with friendly thoughts,
Yo' mouth with friendly smoke—■ .
An' let the old world wag."

TRIAL DRAWING TO A CLOSE
Attorney* Begin Final Arguments
After Ford Counsel Presents Dra
matic Testimony On Educa-
tional Work.
Mt. Clemens, Mich.—Henry Ford *
counsel kept until the final day ou
which testimony was presented, the
trocfc" -t arguments in tlnir posses-
sion Not until the trial was within
a tew hours of Its close did they bring
to the witness stand Clinton C. De-
Witt, suii- rintendent of the Ford Eng-
lish school.
"Mr. Ford,' said the witness, "was
of tin- opinion that you could not suc-
fullv put over one idea while there
wi - ■ 52 languages spoken in the fac-
tory so to promote that one idea,
which was and is Americanism, he in-
sisted that every workman must learn
to p< ilt the 'American' not the
Engl: h—language.
"Th.-ie \v> r ■ 3,000 students in the
school befor - the United States en- j
(■ -red the war and the factory was
practically turned over to government
work."
Sample lessons were read by the
witness. Parts are given as follows:
"Every good American loves and
respects the United States Flag
"Our flag stands for liberty, justice
and peace.
"Its colors are red, white and blue.
"The red stands for love, ti." white
stands for purity, the blue stands for
truth."
"American flags," said the witness,
"were used profusely in the school
room and a silk flag always flutters
before an electric fan.
Teach Americanism.
The men are taught that there is no
greater title than "American citizen"
and are urged to accept the advant-
ages of education offered by this coun-
try so that they may lit themselves,
through knowledge, to defend their
liberties.
Pictures of great Americans adorn
the class rooms, special exercises are
held on the birthday of great leaders
the nation and finally, when the
i lass graduates, it Is presented with
souvenir American flags and is given
membership in what is known as the
"American Club." The Federal and
state courts recognize a diploma from
the Ford English school as an evi- J
dence of adequate preparation for
citizenship, it was shown.
Through this testimony counsel
sought to bring out that the man
who taught 3,000 foreigners to love
their adopted country and to respect
its flag could scarcely be called an
anarchist and that a man who sought
♦very possible method to instill love
for the Stars and Stripes in the
hearts of those who come to It from
foreign shores, could never have
made the slanderous statements at-
tributed to him by Tribune counsel.
Mr. Ford, it was shown, loaned all
his educational workers to the gov
ernment at the time war broke out.
The war department found the meth-
ods used In the Ford English school
so valuable that they introduced them
in all training camps. Henry Ford
paid the salaries of the men he loaned
to the government for the work.

Swift & Company is
primarily an organization
of men, not a collection
of brick, mortar, and
machinery.
Packing Plants, their
equipment and useful-
ness are only outward
symbols of the intelli-
gence, life - long experi-
ence, and right purpose
of the men who compose
the organization and of
those who direct it.
Will not Government direc-
tion of the packing industry,
now contemplated by Congress,
take over the empty husk of
physical property and equipment
and sacrifice the initiative, ex-
perience and devotion of these
men, which is the life itself of
the industry?
What legislation, what politi-
cal adroitness could replace such
life and brains, once driven out?

Wm. Lucking led off for Ford counsel. ' "■
He called attention first to the testi-
mony which showed that The Tribune,

cause It thought such action would
llead to conquest or at least to great
! riches for the United States, had
ifound Henry Ford blocking Its path
! [just when its long campaign gave
promise of bearing fruit. Thereupon,
said the attorney, The Tribune set out
to destroy Mr. Ford's influence, to
sweep him out of its path and to stil!
his voice which pleaded for a course
which would ho!p the bleeding repub
lie to the south to regain her feet and
to strike forth on a new highroad of
education and freedom.
! Attorney Weymouth Kirkland open
led for The Tribune. He declared that
'what Mr. Ford had done since 1916—
wBen The Tribuno called him an
anarchist—had nothing whatever to
do with the situation as It was when
the newspaper stigmatlied the manu
facturer as an enemy of his country.
He did not deny that Mr. Ford had
done an immense and valuable work
for the government during the war but
lie claimed that this did not alter the
facts us they wi re before war broke
out. Mr. Ford, the attorney insisted.

There is a Real Difference
Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
because it is the best and most healthful in-
gTcdient known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking-
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder in-
stead. You will be pleased with the results
and the difference in the quality of the food
