At a meeting held last Ratnrtlgy at
McAlester attended by delegates
from every county In the State Along
the line of the proposed Jefferson
Highway which will skirt the Italy
railroad through the State It was' de-
cided that the cheapest ami best
means of taking care of Oklahoma's
end of Ik Highway would be the Is-
suance of county bonds by each
county. To do this the State foad
laws must be slightly amended aiid
the Legislature will be prevailed up-
on to amend the law as required.
The meeting was bcim-rull of en-
thusiasm for' the Highway and many
worthy speeches too long to record
here were made on the subject. Two
hundred delegates were in attend-
ance and to a man they expressed
themselves -In favor of Oklahoma's
doing her share In the building or the
great transcontinental highway Uiftt
more than anything else will help to
put Oklahoma and Bryan county on

Good taste is important in
a cigarette mighty import-
ant of course but it isn't
everything.
Fatimas for instanco taste
so good that for years they
have been outselling every
other cigarette costing 6ver
5 cents.
But Fatimas give you
something vlpe besides good
taste something else that
helps to explain why so many
thousands and tnousands of
men slick to Fatimas against
all other cigarettes.
That "something .else" is
cigarette - comfort while
you are smoking them and
after you smoke them.
You don't care how good
a cigarette may taste if
while you are smoking it
that cigarette burns your
tongue or "catches" you in
your throat? Fatimas have
a good taste but they don' t do
that they're comfortable!
And better yet Fatimas
leave you feeling comfortable
afterwards. You can smoke
Fatimas more freely than any
other cigarette we know any-
thing about without having
any heavy or "mean" feeling
of having smoked too much.
That's why they're so
SENSIBLE.
Try Fatimas right NOW
if you're ready and prove
for yourself how SENSIBLE
they are.
