mand for Sunday newspapers. which
we were entirely unable to deal with.
it being impossible to obtain extra
papers. A great many regular Gus

owing to our inability to control the
immense crowd in our store, and to
avoid this in future, we must take
steps to reserve these pagers 1t
may be necessary to close our doors
from ten to ten-thirty A. NJ. Sun
days in order to get the papers ready
for sale and distribution, in which
case we ask the indulgence If any
who may be waiting, to assist US in
avoiding the very unpleasant condi-

US to be unable to serve our regular
customers.

HELP TO GOVERNMENT

Your government is at war. A
war not of its own choosing, but a
war in defense of civilization to pro-
tect you and your home. Our boys,
your boy perhaps, may be called to
90 to France and die. If necessary,
that future generations NAV live un-
terrified by the tramp of Prussian
ruthless Imperialism.
These boys are going now and will
be going continuously until the end,
many of them never to return. They
are risking their lives that we who
stay at home may live in peace.
We must not stop until victory is
complete. Patritism must live.
The mothers of poor blood-stained
France, whose sons and fortunes
have already been sacrificed on the
altar of liberty, with tear bedimmeo
eyes and heavy hearts in the sleep
less, silent watches of the night, are
wondering and praying if we will
stay by her and he with her until a
victorious close, as her nations army
was with US at Yorktown.

our government to prosecute this
war to the end.
The government asks you to give
nothing, but it does ask YOU to save
your money, the small change that
burns hole, in your pocket, and in
vest this small savings in War Saw
ings Stamps, which will pay you 4
per cent interest compounded quar-
terly. Every penny of this money
loaned to your government helps to
save the lives of our men at the front
and to win the war. Il.
The postoffices of America are the
first agents of the government in the
issuing Of War Savings Stamps and
cooperating with the government, al
so stand the banks Of America and
countless business firms who are also
lending their help unrewarded except
for sense of patriotic duty per

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The merging this week of the Ban
ner and the News eliminates one
weekly paper and leaves but one to
cover the field which will hereafter
be published under the name of the
Banner-News.
The Banner was established 20
years ago this week by Z. b. Lapham
and Charles r. Cowdin.
Later the Banner Publishing com
pany was organized and for the past
five years Mr.. James M. Langston
and Mr.. Lapham have been the edi-
tors of the Banner.
During the past year negotiations
have been pending for a consolidation
of the two papers which eliminated
Monday.
We have in its publication endeav-
ored at all times to keep the Banner
in the class of clean journalism and
highly appreciate the many favors and
courtesies received from patrons and
readers.
Mr.. Langston, whose recent be-
reavement in the death of his wife,
was an additional reason for disposing
of his intenest, is undecided as to his
future, but Mr.. Lapham will continue
with the new company.
We bespeak for the new manage
ment and the new paper hearty and
generous support, feeling confident
that every interest will be carefully
looked after in every way possible.
May the Banner-News live long
and prosper.
E. B. LAPHAM..
j. M. LANGSTON.
