THE JOY OF
OWNERSHIP


We love to say; THAT dog is OURS. It is the
JOY of ownership that makes us feel about the dog
the way we dc. 1t is the joy of OWNERSHIP
that makes us WISH for OWN home or our
OWN farm. Someone tells us that it COSTS
MORE to own home than to RENT one but we
feel that to OWN one more than OFFSETS the
difference. When you OWN the house where you
hang your hat you feel LITTLE MORE Sc
CURE and don't have to WORRY as much
about WHEN you will have to TAKE 1T DOWN.
Next week, through the use of our Want Ad col
umn TELL those who HAVE homes for sale about
YOUR wants State the AMOUNT you feel that
you CAN AFFORD to pay for home. Explain in
few words JUST WHAT you have in mind re
garding the location, condition and payment of
same NOTHINGi is impossible. There may NOT
be what you want TODAY but through the adver-
tisement you may CREATE a desire, in SOME
ONE, to WANT to sell JUST WHAT you are look
ing for. Why not TRY this plan. It will cost but
FEW CENTS and the joy that may come to you
through this one little advertisement will REPAY
you MANY TIMES. This paper REACHES the

PRICE UNFAIR.

The Food Commission of the
United States fixing the price OF
raw sugar at $500 to $3.50, is
causing some dissatisfaction
among the cane people and they
have taken the matter up with
the government for justice and
better treatment. They assert
that to be on parity with wheat.
raw sugar should be fixed at 10
cents per pound.
Sugar is always the victim OF
government attack. and the sugar
people should resent the injustice
vigorously, the people need sugar
as much as they need wheat OF
any other commodities, and sugar
should receive the same consid-
Grafton.
The sugar people are as patri-
otic as any otehr people, but they
will not stand unfair and unjust
treatment.-St. Martin Messenger.

that we fully appreciate that
our beloved country is now fac
ing one of the gravest crises in
its existence, and that its present
situation and needs call for the
united and patriotic support of
it's every citizen. That with the
whole world short of food and
necessities. with shipping and
means of transpol alton threat
ened with annihilation, and with
this nation at war with so pow
erful an enemy who has deli5-
erately thrown to the winds all
principles of right in warfare, we
are fully conscious that no Amer
lean has a right to murmur or to
cavil, to halt or to slack, but that
men, women and children should
alike give their voice and their
active help to our government in
this war.
Be it further resolved that we
congratulate our people upon
their united support of our coun-
try in this hour Of her greatest
stress, and we unhesitatingly dc
clare that no one born under the
Star Spangled Banner and not
naturalized citizen, who fails to
give to it and to it's allies a whole
hearted sympathy and support,
or who either directly or indi-
rectly lends aid and comfort to
Germany is worthy of American
citizenship; and feeling that the
time has now come when the
sheep and the goats should be
separated we reprobate all such
persons and activities.
Be it further resolved that we
specifically approve the acts and
methods of our government III
preparing for this struggle and
in raising its armies for the
field; we heartily congratulate
the general officers for the con-
ception, passing and putting into
execution the draft law for this
purpose; that we commend most
heartily our local Board for their
faithful and impartial labors
hereunder and the excellent re
suits attained, and that believing
that right must prevail, we look
forward to the success of our
armies and of the principles for
which our country now contends.

The GREAT DIVIDE

The woman in the prime of life need
not dread to meet the loss of her youth
when growing elderly. While some
charms diminish, others should te-
place them-charms of experience, cul-
tivation, wisdom. The great physical
changes met between the fortieth and
fiftieth year are indeed serious, and
are not always well borne. In the
strain Of modern life, few women are
in condition to meet these changes
without some apprehension of derang-
ed health. But with the excellent help
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound, that old trustworthy woman's
medicine, a woman may confidently ex.
pect to enter later life as we'll and
robust as ever.

HEALTH HINTS

Swat the fly slogan can be taken
literally in the spring. During the
early warm days. when the first flies
crawl forth from their winter quar-.
tiers they can be killed and future mum.
bers greatly reduced. After millions
Of the insects are swarming about the
effect of swatter or even hundreds
of swatters amounts to almost nothing.
More important, perhaps, than kill
ing the first flies is the destruction OF
every possible breeding place. Flies
breed in filth. Any accumulation OF.
fering moisture, retaining some heat,
or through decomposition actually Gre
ating heat, are particularly good fields
for the breeding flies. 1t is therefore
very important that manure be hauled
away. IL accumulations must remain
ON the premises it should be thorough
7y sprinkled with kerosene or borax
Borax is probably the better, as there
is no danger of its causing a fire.
Sweepings from homes, ash piles
and the rubbish. that usually goes with
them must also be destroyed. Rub
bish that will burn should be set on
fire. This not only destroys its bulk,
but burns up fly eggs.
Don't dump waste and rubbish on va.
cant property. Flies will develop
quite as readily there, and will spread
throughout the neighborhood.
