Wliy A Narame On Lumber
The Long-Bell Lumber Company trade-marks
its lumber for the same reason the manufacturer
of good merchandise stamps his shoes or hats with
his Trade-Mark.
Trade-Marked goods are usually reliable mer-
chandise. The manufacturer of a good product
takes pride in it, and naturally wants to be given
credit for the goodness he builds into it.
The Long-Bell Lumber Company believes that
the buyer is entitled to the same protection on
lumber that he gets on other merchandise, hence
t e LONG-BELL brand on all Long-Bell Lumber.

The Rock Island No. 0 Tricycle Lifter Is tlie original three,
wheel frame less lister. It was the first to be put on the market,
and bsn always maintained Ih© lead. It is built strong* but Is
light in weight. It is equipped with the famous Hock Island Con-
vertible Edge ltrup or Straight Flat Drop, making the accuracy of
drop pud good stand certain.
* Of course, accuracy of drop is the main thing to consider
about a lister of this kind, but there are other things you want
to know as well. It would bo of little benefit to build an imple-
ment boasting of one superior feature and inferior in other re-
spects The general construction of the No. 9 Tricycle Lister is
all that could he desired. It is nn implement which can be de-
pended upon to give long and faithful service.
It will pay you to come in and see it at once. t :•*£>

“(Jot a mutch?"
How many times a day is that ques-
tion asked In these United Stales?
How many more times is tlie question
unnecessary because most pockets are
kept well supplied with the useful
little article? Anyhow. Inasmuch as It
Is estimated that there are SO,000.000
tobacco users In the country, we would
guess that ttie answer to that question
would run Into the hundreds of mil-
lions.
For if It weren’t for the smokers In
iticse days of e'ectric lights how many
matches would lie used? A preiiy
small proportion of the number of
those “sticks of Maxes’’ produced in
tlm country every year. Abolish to-
bacco and the match business would h*
shot to pieces.
But tlie match business Is only one
of n dozen or more allied Industries
which derive large revenues directly or
Indirectly from the tobacco trade and
would sutler heavily If national pro-
hibition of tobacco were to go into
effect as some of our reformers woul I
have it. The annual sales of lolmcco
products, bused on retail prices. Is es-
timated nt 11,937.000,000. Of the cost
of producing and selling this quantity
of cigars, cigarettes and other forms
,f the weed, some hundreds of million
dollars are paid out for other things
than the raw tobacco anti labor of
muklng It up.
$25,000,000 a Year for Boxes
For example, the tobacco trnde con-
sumes each year 45.000,000 pounds of
licorice, 50,000,000 pounds of sugar,
both used In flavoring tobacco, and
•>50,000 tons of coal. It Is estimated
that the value of wooden cigar boxes
used Is $25,000,1100 a year, ipilte all
'tem to the lumber business und to
manufacturers of the boxes.
In making these boxes 550.000
pounds of nails are employed. Other
targe Items used In making ntid pre-
paring tobacco for sale arc tin and
end foil, paper for bugs and cigarette
wrappers, cloth for tobacco bags, la
Pels, coupons, etc., Involving the print-
ng trade extensively
Then building cofi"nctofs nnd mntin-
aeturers of machinery are largely In-
eVested. Investments In plants and
machinery employed In mnnufactur-
ng tobacco arc estimated at $102,000,
000. Replacement, up keep and Inter
.•st on the Investment make no small
sum annually.
And let realty men note there nre
approximately 325.000 tobacco farms
n the country, with a total estimated
valuation of Sldo.ouoCOO. of further in
rerest to real estat,- men Is the fact
•hat there are 700,000 retail establish
•neats selling tobacco. Involving a to'n'
-eiitn| and up keep Impossible .to estl
• irate, besides the large amount of of
Hue space occupied by administrative
branches of the general business.
The Insurance men. too. have their
share of the pickings. The to»>nrc<
has ness pays out annually $7,000,001
n premiums 1n the United Stales.
Arid there nre the railroads who rear
revenue from 2.210.000 tons of tobneet
products every year.
As for the advertising business
here again It Is Impossible to forrr
any esflmate of the enormous annual
outluy.
The prohibition of tobacco would also
knork a good-sized hole In the receipt?
of tire United Siates government
The Internal revenue receipts fron
tobacco for the fiscal year 1020 amount
ed to $295,800.355.44. Customs dtltlev
provided nn additional $2.i.ltOO000 li
round figures, tanking the total reventn
return to tlie government $320,000,000
Influence on Popular Sentiment
Tt Is ibis Interlocking of the tobneri
bus ness with so many other interests
and the vast amount of financial las
that would he Involved in the nbolltlot
of tobacco that is one of the most se
r nus nspeets of the proposal to- pro
Mbit the sale of tobacco, a proposal
however, which 1ms little support b;
public sentiment if Hie newspaper edi
tors of the country are Correct in theis
estimate of that sentiment.
Tn n poll of the editors made recently
hy the Tobacco Merchants’ Assoclntloi
of the United States, through the Press
Service Company of New York City
95 per cent of the 7.847 editors win
replied expressed the opinion Hint tin
people of their comm tin ties were op
posed to any Inw aval ns t tobacco. A;
these editors represent some SU.OOO.dflt
renders the results form a pretty geo
end test of national opinion.
In tlielr remarks accompanying their
replies many of the editors expressed
It as their opin'on that the nppos Hot
of their communities t6 the u bo I Plot,
of tobacco was based to Vome cxli-iii a
least on the damage such a change
would do to the business interests ut
tlie community. This was particularly
true In the tobacco growing states nm
centers where there were large tobneet
plants.
But when the extent of the huslnesf
Involved In the allied Interests of the
tobacco trade Is considered, as above
briefly outlined. If is clear that tiler*
is hardly n section of tlie country that
would not be affected directly or in-
directly by abolishing tobacco.

i Apropos.
It was a srtiool-day romance, and
though we went to different schools,
we always managed to go home to-
pether. Before long It was well known
Hint Alice nud Jim were sweethearts,
and our names were often linked to-
gether. One day Jim visited our school
and came Into our Spanish class. I
was asked to recite, and there were
loud, gleeful exclamations when I in-
noeentlv translated the sentence; “I
go to visit my triend Jim, who greets
me affectionately.”—Exchange. (
