Vacations are most de sirable then, and this year the late spring automatically moved many vacation periods ahead; therefore,' it is agreed that August, more than any other month, will see large registrations in Relaxation and; Diversion. What, clothing is necessary both ers many men the night before they get started for the seashore, coun try or mountains. How many times havg you neglected to take suf ficient clothes? How many times have you brought back apparel you didn't need? There’s a happy, incdhim. Take pencil and paper; visualize your activities while on the vaca tion. Consider the necessary things in the way of wearing apparel for these respective activities. Have the right things at the right time, and when you return, the contents of the bags can go directly to the laundry and the tailor for washing and pressing. As you scan your present list of friends undoubtedly many names are there because of a simple vaca tion Introduction. The man with an eye for the future will readily understand the value of friends in business, and many dollars have been saved or put to good advan tage through valuable contacts ere-, ated,. at vacation resorts. Good clothes, worn well, play an impor tant part in inspiring friendships. Why not be on the safe side. Dress yourself "to win.” Why content yourself “for place,” or "to show?” At the shore a man dons white flannels, a dark coat, sport shoes and gets a kick out of it. A com fortable suit of knickers at the, mountains or country makes him peaceful in mind.

Sport shoes for the beach and; mountains; silk hose'and wool, Pan-; amas and those present-vogue light weight felts which have become popular despite the hot weather. Men’s bathing suits have kept pace with women's water garb, so far as trimness is concerned. Males,; too, have become addicted Io the; sensible one-piece suit which gives the appearances of a two garment suit with its shirt overdapping the trunks.* These suits go on and off in a jiffy.

There is nothing so comfortable as Vacationing in knickers. The free, roomy feeling around the legs makes lying on the beach, hiking mountain trails or wandering through country lanes a pleasure. Three smart style combinations which include knickers have been seen at all vacation resorts this season: The blue coat with white knickers, the white shirt and white knickers, with a blue sleeveless jumper, and a full sleeve jumper with blue crash linen knickers. The sensible man will wear ties, hose and shoes to harmonize with any of the above materials. Those who desire a trifle more formality will find comfort and good appear ance in the full linen suit, the pongee and the mohairs. Be sure to have a carton of matches in your bag. Sometimes they are as scarce at summer re sorts as double-portions of dessert. Take along your favorite pipe, a can of tobacco, or plenty of your particular brand of cigarettes. Country stores do not carry varied stocks, and it’s like shaving cream ■—you get accusttifned to one brand. If you're carrying golf clubs, stick an umbrella in the bag, too. Uncle Jupiter Pluvius knows no vacation. The “pull-over” sweater seems to have been accepted by men as necessary these days. In principle it goes over the head, even as the old-fashioned “turtle neck” sweater, but is fashioned -of ths i'yhter wools. Its V-Neck, edged with con trasting color, gives the wearer a certain smartness, but not at the expense of comfort or practicality. By covering their fields with large strips of paper Hawaiian pine apple planters have been able to increase their yield between 60 and 85 per cent.

Richland-Colr. 10-06 »m Facts About Taxes on Cigarettes WE, call particular attention to the statements made in the advertisement adjoining this editorial column. This advertisement, the purpose of which is to win new friepds for Lucky Strike cigarettes, incidentally em phasizes the matter of high taxes on cigarettes. To those who are intimate with such matter* there is, of course, no sur prising. statement made. To the general public, though,' we believe it will be surprising to learn that nearly half of what they pay for cigarettes goes to the government for taxes. The internal revenue stamp on a package of twenty Lucky Strike cig arettes costs you six cents. On a tin of one hundred the revenue stamp costs you thirty cents. So nearly fifty cents out of every dollar you spend for cigarettes ii spent by you for taxes. This is certainly the heaviest tax on an article of daily and universal consumption. The Tobacco Industry and Taxes The aggregate tax paid by the tobacco business is with one exception, income taxes, the largest item of in ternal revenue the federal government receives. Last (fiscal) year it anioimted to 8309,014,050.84. Os this enormous amount of mopey the cigarette industry paid 8182.71,5.- 735.93. or nearly two-thirds of the total tax paid by the entire tobacco business. The immediately important point of the foregoing is the following: We believe you will appreciate that when nearly fifty cents of every dollar paid by you for cigarettes goes to the gov ernment, you must receive in cigar ettes a value in return for your money that is rarely given in any commodity. That the public generally appreci ates this great value is shown by the enormous increase in the consumption of cigarettes. Our reasons for this tax free offer We know this offer induces men to try Lucky Strikes —it “Wins New Friends.” We know that a large percentage of those who get acquainted with Lucky Strikes adopt, them. This isn’t philanthropy nor propa ganda—just good business, as you’ll agree. The offer is limited. We cannot afford to keep it up. We make it sensationally generous so as to attract attention. We are not giving money away for the offer accomplishes its purposes: Lucky’ Strike “Wins New Friends.” Our volume increases. Super-quality It is only by immense volume that we can produce such an aristocratic cigarette as Lucky Strike at such a democratic price. Its quality is supreme because it has that costly, extra process, toasting, which improves the flavor and adds to the taste of even the finest tobaccos that are used in Lucky Strikes. We urge you to participate in this offer—we want you to get acquainted with Lucky Strikes. We know a trial will make you a perms nent cusuiier of ours. Guaranteed u ••te«eeae*i»
