EVERYTHING FOR SAFETY OF THE
MOTHER COUNTRY, SAYS GRINAMl

But" he continued 1.-THE best way
to avoid sacrifice is vigorously to con-
tinue the war for civilization, to
which America has given her loftiest
adherence as just. Life in Venice to-
day is difficult. but the city is tranquil,
serene and ready for any task allotted
to her in that Adriatic. which since
the war is no longer Austrian, but has
become Italian.
I'm case Of further advance of the
enemy. the question, whether Venice
shall resist or give ifiswithout resist
ance is essentially military problem
on which ! may offer no opinion. The

ing removed"

Posto6ce Building
Nearing Completion

The beautiful new postoffice build
ing on High street is at last nearing
completion. The workmen are now
working on the inside, doing the
plaster work, and are doing the job
with the same degree of thorough
ness as that exercised with the build
ing of the exterior.
The government inspector, Mr..
McQuilkin, has exercised all care and
precaution in the erection of this
building, and only the best of materi
ais have been used. A very neat,
clean-cut, up-to-date and modest
front is exposed to the view of the
passerby. The long steps leading to
the front door are a great help to
the buildings general appearance.
The spacious windows also aid in
this, as does the fact that the build
ing is only one story in height.
The rear of the building too, is
being worked into good condition,
and the deliverers of the mail will
have no trouble along the line OF
waiting for it until it is ready to go
into the county districts.
This building is. Of course. a mark
ed improvement upon the one now
in use, as there can hardly be any
comparison of their appearance.
1t is expected that the building
will be completed in the near future,
and will be Immediately turned over
to the government for service, and
the postoffice force will try to show
how well courtesy and a good build
ing go together

Don't Fail to Purchase
Your War Savings Stamps

Now that we have a million of our
boys over on the other side, fighting
and giving their life's blood for
Christianity's sake, must we sit back
and view their noble work without
doing something to help them? If
we cannot go to the front because of
our age, whether young or old, or if
we cannot afford to buy one of the
Nations Liberty Bonds, we can at
least purchase one of the War Saw
ings Stamps for four dollars and
eighteen cents, which will give us
our chance to do our little bit for
humanity. Even the poorest of our
nation can find a quarter with which
to purchase a Thrift Stamp, and by
purchasing enough of these, eventu-
ally will have a War Stamp.
t Our dear old Uncle Sam is doing
save, and be thrifty, and il is up to
US to profit by his teachings. He
needs our assistance in winning this
war, and it is up to us to give him
our aid. If we only think Of the suf-
fering and privation undergone by
those citizens of Belgium and France,
we will Immediately see the duty
that is before u.s. 1t will come to us
plainly that unless we are giving our
mind, body and soul to the cause OF
winning the war, the German
hordes will continue spreading dew
astation over the fields Of Europe for
sometime to come.
We must help those boys who have
so nobly gone forth from our little
city to do their duty to God and
man, and must show them that we
are back of them every minute of
the day. and are hoping and praying
continually that their mission may
! be accomplished with the least posi-
BILE bloodshed.
1t would not cost each patriotic
citizen much to borrow the eight
hundred and thirty-six dollars neces-
sary to purchase a one thousand dol
lar War Savings Stamp, and the
| equipment bought by this one thou
sand dollars may save your son or
your dearest friend. Is that not
worth this small sacrifice? Think Of
being the one to save an American
soldier from the hands of Hun. It
is enough to spur anyone forward to
do all in his or her power. Even the
smallest of us can help by these
stamps, and the young man or young
woman looking for investments can
find no better than that of lending
their money to the L. S. Gov
eminent for the cause of Right and
Humanity, and the uplift Of the mod
ern world.
