Patriot Dollars

All the dollars in the world can
not buy victory. Victory is not pur-
chaseable-it is won. Dollars can
work for victory only in so far as
they are converted into labor and
materials A dollar boarded is a
Stacker; a dollar wasted is traitor;
a dollar saved is patriot, doubly so
when loaned to the Government.
A boarded dollar represents idle
power; a wasted dollar represents
wasted power; d dollar saved repre-
sents power saved, labor saved, mate
rails saved. Loaned to your Govern
ment, it represents power, labor, and
materials in action, on the firing line,
over the top. And more-it repre-
sents reserve power, energy stored,
purchasing power conserved for its
owner.

Local Service, Despite Severe
Weather, Has Been The
Best In Years

withstanding the most severe
January in Is or 20 years, Mt. Vernon
consumers OF gas furnished by the
Ohio Fuel Supply Co. have received
better service than ever before.
Even week ago today, when
there was terrible suffering in many
communities. Mt. Vernon had little
of which to complain. In all sections
of the city, save on the west side, and
there only for short while, there
was pressure of gas nearly up to
normal.
AT the Office of the Ohio Fuel Sup
ply Co., it was stated Saturday that
there have been less complaints than
ever before and a number of COM
plaints. when traced down. were
found TO be due to local conditions.
Such service as this in such time
as this is a real comfort local people

Wright, despite his injury, shot his
baskets from the middle OF the floor
and was considered feature of the
game by the Newark quintet, whose
members looked on in wonder. All
OF the Mt. Vernon men played Il good
game and although Newark fought
hard, apparently nothing could stop
the scoring of the Mt. Vernon boys.
Even more noticeable than any in
dividual playing on the part of the
players OF either team was the team
work. However, the Mt. Vernon five
showed up TO greater advantage in
this than the Newark players.
Saturday night, the Mt. Vernon
quintet will play another game away
