There are today of camping bed, and find a great deal fewer than twenty camping trailers of sleeping comfort, SaEEBING BAGS 'INSTEAD OF BLANI{ETS, Personally, we like wool sleeping bags better than blankets. It takes less covering to keep warm on chilly nights when you use bags. In the. average camping bed you must have as much under you' as over you, and the bag is not only that, but it conies: all about the body cozily. Auto -camp` bedding should be thoroughly sunned and aired just as religiously as your bedding at home is cared for. On the running -board we have a box nine inches square at the ends and thirty-three inches long, with a shiny especially devised for tourist camping,. practically all of them being of the two -wheel type. Some fold down to a flat topped, low -riding, compact affair, while others are more stubborn and only fold in a little at the sides. Practically all trailers have col- lapsible frames, which, when ,the trail- er is made into a roadside home, will support a tent of heavy waterproofed canvas. Generally the walls of the tent extend to the ground all about the bodyof the trailer," while in a few exceptional cases the walls only reach to the body of the outfit, which. is two or three feet off the ground. black metal cover.

CANADIAN TOBACCO COMING INTO FAVOR British and Canadian Firms are Realizing the Cizord Quali- ties of Canadian Grown Leaf, - It i$ Retesting to note the progress which Canadian grown tobacco is making in securing the favor of the tobacco -consuming public, says the Natural Resources Intelligence Sex. - vice er••vice, of the Department of the Interior. This natural resource is one which is assuming very great • importance, in view of the tremendous prejudices which have had to be overcome, both at home and abroad. Only in June, 1921,.speaking at the Canadian .Manu- facturers' Association's annual meet- ing in Montreal, a prominent Can- adian tobacco manufacturer made the statement that "the policy° of the manufacturers has been not to have the consumer detect the brand con- tained in Canadian tobacco because the reputation " of Canadian tobacco was not right with the consumer, and we have been able to increase the con- sumption of tobacco by the consumer not knowing it was Canadian." Since this statement was made, fiscal year ending March, 1921, 471,- The 71, very favorably with the best grown in the United "$totes. So great has the British demand for Canadian to- bacco become that over one million pounds, grown in Essex County, On- tario, was shipped to Great Britain during 1922, to be used in, the manu- facture of cigarettes, pipe tobacco and twists. In anticipation of in- creased requirements in Great Britain it is reported that a British tobacco firm has purchased land at Kingston, Ontario, and proposes to erecta . nod- ern factory there for the processing and curing of Canadian .leaf tobacco. The Canadian Tobacco Growers' Co- operative Company has entered into a contract to supply the new British firm with 2,000,000 pounds of dark leaf tobacco. '°- The growth of Canada's export trade in tobacco is strongly emphasiz- ed in the return for the past three years, 200,153 pounds of unmanu- factured beingd'in the ' factiired tobacco ex cexported however, conditions have rapidly changed. A policy of education on the merits of Canadian -grown tobacco, has been carried out, and the loyalty to Canadian products has prevailed to such an extent that the consumption of Canadian tobacco is steadily: in- creasing, and with the knowledge that it is Canadian grown. One of the , results growing out of the war is the increasing appreciation of Canadian tobacco among the Brit- ish public. The enormous amount sup- plied from Canada in large and small quantities to individual soldiers by. their friends was instrumental in cultivating . a taste for this country's tobacco among the British soldiers, and this market in the Old Country is rapidly enlarging. Canadian tobacco is now looked upon .very favorably by British importers'and manufacturers, and is recognized as superior to to- bacco imported from other British col- onies, such as South 'Africa• and Rhodesia, owing to its excellent flavor, while, at the sante time 3t compares The rain may fall, the sun may. shine, But charm is always there, Within :this gallery of mine The picture's ever fair.

In 1920 there were imported 21,120,- 729 1,120,729 pounds of unmanufactured to- bacco, in 1921, 19,924,721 pounds, and in 1922, 14,453,671 pounds. The above quoted speaker further said, "It' is all a question of the education of the taste. If you will use Canadian Bur- ley instead of Virginia for a month you will not go back to Virginia to- bacco." The trade returns would seen to bear out the statement, and it is encouraging to see the very great in- crease of appreciation of the Can- adian product which will merit a greater interest in the development andimprovement of this crop by the gro vers.
