ments that nothing be lost" /,
Do your bit in this campaign.
IL You can't eat it-can it, pre-.
serve it, dry it or bury il. This
surplus food food that ordi
narily goes to waste will
mean thousands Of dollars to
Wise County. The truth is, it
can not be- calculated in dollars
and cents, for money will not
buy food when there is no food
to buy. Our staiwart boys and
young men, many OF whom are
now on the field i'll Europe must
be fed. Will we let our own
flesh and blood go hungry
while they fight the fight of
liberty for ourselves and the
world? The question is tire
mcndously personal. 1t comes
right home to us. And there is
one enemy which our troops
and the Allied troops can not
conquer. That enemy liz hunger
starvation. And il is up to
America to see that this enc
my does not turn certain victory
into certain defeat.

servation and preservation.

sympathy and all the money

more experts into the County

There's no reason why a per-

Liver Tone-a perfect substi.

1t is n pleasant, vegetable
liquid which will start your

but 1t doesn't make you sick
and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tone be-
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomal is u dangerous drug.
1t is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty
calomel today and you will feel
week, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose days
work. Take IA spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone instead
and you will wake up feeling
great. No more biiiousness,
constipation, sluggishness,

INTEREST ON BONDS.

There will soon be another big wal
bond issue. We shall all be asked to
buy. What are we going to do about
| it?
The interest may be three and one,
half percent again. 1t may be four
percent. Whatever it Is, it will be
smaller than the return ordinarily ex
pected from an investment.
We hear it said occasionally that we
can't be expected to keep on lending our
savings TO the government at so low a
rate when we can make two or three
times that much in business invest.
ments. The Journal Of the American
Bankers Association replies:
TO the man who says that he can
get ten percent for his money, the an.
swer is that certainty of his ten per.
cent, or any other rate, depends entirely
on the success Of the government in
securing funds at three and one.half
percent, or whatever rate congress sees
fit to fix. If bonds cannot be sold, moth.
ing is secure. There are always individ.
uals who will hang back and hold out
for the ten percent, but their safety
I'm this respect lies in having someone
else supply the funds at the lower rate"
That puts the citizen who won't buy
war bonds in rather bag light He's
a sort Of sneak, letting his neighbors
back the war with their money, at
little profit, so that he may make much
profit.
Fairness and patriotism demand that
every citizen do his share in financing
the war And mere business precaution
would suggest that, if a man is going
Ito invest money in private enterprise,
he first invests something i'm our great
national enterprise as insurance for his
other investment
