What would smokers do if the supply of tobacco suddenly "stopped short" —like Grandfather's Clock —and no more was forthcoming for an indefinite period? The idea may seem fantastic, but the possibility of such a stoppage has actually been foreseen — and provided for —in England. It is stated that there is "enough tobacco to supply every man and woman in the Kingdom with an ounce of tobacco

every week for a year always in store in the warehouses in the Louden docks." Happily for Maorilanders, N.Z. is a tobacco-producing country, and there is not the slightest fear of any smoker having to go short, for the supplies of "toasted" (the real toasted) are practically inexhaustible. In fact, the manufacture of Cut t'lug No. 10 (Bullshead), Riverhead Gold, and Desert Gold now constitutes an important and rapidly-expanding industry affording steady employment to many "hands, while the growth of the raw material is found a profitable side-line to not a few men on the land. The fame of this tobacco is spreading beyond these shores.
