A Thought for Today Can be found in the election results in Maine. Insurgency is sweeping Jthe country and it s a good thing. But there are other good things, for instance The White Stag Cigar • and Mr. Smoker its a good time to insurge in other things besides politics. You can stop the “graft” of the big fellows by not smoking the big advertised trust controlled, filthy tenement house made cigars but ask for a home product. The “White Stag Cigar” is'made here in your home town out of the best tobaccos that grow out of doors, by skillful workmen under clean, sanitary and hygemc conditions and is biggest value on the market today for the price of 5 cents. For sale by all dealers. gilllilllllllilililiiiiiiiliilillliilillilliljlillllllilillHSiiiilltiiSillljjllliiniilllj j| Cheerful Fires—Cheerful Homes I MASSILLON I | COAL | H Does away with worry—fuss and time. §i Fill your bins for winter use.
