Three Reasons WHY
You Should Trade with
The StorekeeperWho
Delivers With aVIM

LNIND the store with the best trade and
II you have the store with the best goods.
That is the store you want and it usually
delivers with a VIM.
Sometimes a store with high rent can't af-
ford to sell good goods cheaper than a store
with low rent. It isn't location or rent
that makes a store give good values-it's
efficiency. You want the efficient store.
That is the kind of store that delivers with
a VIM.
The storekeeper that is always looking for
the best things gets the habit. He looks
for the best goods and he is apt to find the
best delivery system. He is good merchant
to know. He surely delivers with VIM.
Look for VIM Delivery Cars along the
street. Notice the names painted upon them
all good merchants who are getting de-
livery at the lowest cost because of the
economy of operation of the VIM Car and
its freedom from repair cost.
When storekeeper buys VIM he buys

HARD ON NEUTRAIS.

All is ready to put into actual op-
Grafton the first of the big war plans
entrusted to the president-control
of exports Under arrangement with
the British government, the United
States and Great Britain will, practi-
cally, have control of the worlds
trade in their hands, which means a
mighty big plan and mighty big con-
troll. 1t means 4srhaps mighty possg
bilities in the future, since the world
is going to be very hungry for some
time after peace comes.
Putting it in plain words, we've
directly engaged in the business Of
starving Germany. The American
food supply will be used first to feed
Americans, secondly to feed the Al
lies, and what is left viii 60 to the
neutrals under such tight regulations
that it cannot reach Germany. This
latter fact will spur the u-boats on
to making hotter war on neutral
ships, which means that neutrality Is
going to have a real hot time In
sticking to its neutrality. Indeed,
that neutrals are to get only what's
left, over from Americans and Allies
is warm proposition, in itself. To
torpedo neutral shts1ifg, u4.ssllti such

CELEBRATING JULY 4.

It is hard to believe that people
e; can be serious when they discuss
whether they shall celebrate July 4
quietly and seriously, or whether
there shall be the usual ballyhoo,
racket and noise.
Es. There never was any excuse for
making of Independence Day an oc;
,tscasion for mere sound and fury. and
.Sthere is less reason for this proceed
Eure this year than ever before in
our history.
Il In 177G when the handful of Amer.
lean colonists declared their indie
pendence and defied the British king
and the British power, they did so
with full appreciation Of. the gravi'
lily Of the step they had taken. There
was no wild rioting and noise.mak.
ing, The patriots knew there was
sStern work in hand and bitter fight
ing to- be faced, before they would be
sable TO translate brave words into
achieved deeds. IN
M The same soberness, determination
E1nd high purpose should mark every
assembly of Americans this year on
July 4.
) Only few months ago we once
more declared our independence.
Once more we defied a king and a
! mighty empire: We said to the kais-
er that in our vocabulary there is no
such word as "verboten," and that
we could not subscribe to the insol-
ent Prussian doctrine that our ships
could travel the salt seas only by per-
mission of German minions and when
barred like zebras. Once more we
should realize that there % IL stern
work in hand and bitter fighting to
be faced, before wo are able to trans
hte brave words into achieved
deeds. ...-e ..-.
" The menace to the Americans of
1917 is just as grave as it was to the
Americans Of 1776. Had we lost in
the earlier day, there would have
been no American republic. If we
lose now, we lose very large part of
our independence, and sink to the
level of vassal state, forced to do
the bidding of the German emperor
and his war lords.
July should, therefore, once more
be a day of prayerful thought We
should assess the job we havv in
hand
We should key our resolves up to
the highest pitch
We should realize that it Is our
duty and privilege to give all We
have and are that government of the
people by the people for the people
may not perish from the earth.

The movements of the soldier are
regulated all along the line.
