and study had been expended in
its preparation; each essay car
ried Intimate knowledge and in
formation of the writer in clear
and concise terms.
It is clearly evident from the
nature of the papers submitted
in the contest that this form of
competition affords valuable train
ing to students, tending to create
greater interest in the value and
beauty of one of Alaska’s most
treasured resources, the forests, as
well as to stimulate efforts in En
glish composition.
The Board of Judges wish to
announce that in the future any
contestant who desires to make
sketches or drawings to illustrate
the essay submitted may do so,
and such sketches will be consid
ered in connection with and as a
part of such essay and will be
graded accordingly. This should be
of additional interest to the stu
’ dents and may result in the devel
| opment of latent ability in many
• of the contestants.
It is hoped that a greater num
' ber of students will enter the
American Forestry Association Me
dal Contest for this year, which
has previously been announced,
and which will close with the
school year 1932.

— and here's how they get that way!
I he mildest cigarette is bound to be
the one that’s made of the mildest to
baccos. It’s harder to find the milder
varieties—but we pay the price and
get the choice. The world’s finest
Turkish the world’s finest Domestic
the purest, mildest and best tobacco
that grows—that’s what we buy for
Chesterfield.
We tie up millions of dollars age
ing these tobaccos right. Then we
blend and cross-blend them for extra
mildness and taste. Good — they’ve
got to be good!
Everything that money, science and
skill can do to make a milder cigarette
shows up with every puff. A cigarette
can t be made any milder or purer—
you can smoke as many as you like.
And you’ll like as many as you smoke.
