auction sale of merchandise at the
Sellick store on Saturday afternoon
of this week. A Grab bag will be the
attraction in the forenoon from10:00

Max Benton has purchased the
plumbing business of Fl. j. Dunbar
and has taken possession. Max is
well equipped to take charge of the
business, and we bespeak for him
abundant success and prosperity. Mr..
and Mrs. Dunbar are undecided yet as
to their future plans, but it is the
sincere hope Of their wide circle of
Paw Paw friends that they may de-
eide to remain here.
Paw Paw delayed the Red Cross
Drive until after the holidays. Sat-
urday of this week is the day, and it
is the patriotic duty of every person
in the community to be ready with
their dollar and become member of
this society. A house to house can
vass is being made this week, but if
you have not already been solicited,
there will be an opportunity on Sat-
urday at any one of the Paw Paw
stores to pay the dollar and become
identified with this great humanitarian
society. Service flags with the 100
percent Service banner" will be given
to families, every member of which
becomes a Red Cross member, and
also to various clubs, societies and
business places. It is unnecessary to
say anything about the work being
done by this society, or the necessity
for the drive. Everybody already
knows about the merits.of the plan,
and there is no question but that
Paw Paw will eco over the Top" the
same as it has done in every "War
Drive" to date. Those who already
belong to this society should renew
their membership at this time. Re-
member that Saturday is the day.
Don't wait to be urged to join, but
walk up promptly and do your patri-
otto duty. 1t should be the pride of
every family and every business house
to display 100 per service banner in
the window. If you can't shoulder
gun and go to the front, do your
duty at home. 1t is your duty now
to become identified with the Red
Cross. Mrs. Cleo Maxwell is chair
man for the local drive.

AND NOW YOU ARE CUTTING
COUPONS.

Since YOU have started TO save
money by buying Thrift stamps and
Liberty bonds, you are surprised
now rapidly the sum mounts
Even a small sum each week in
creases the general amount rapidly.
And the coupons you have had
cashed on your Liberty bond invest
ment already are perhaps the first
dollars and cents which you ever re-
ceived for which YOU did not work.
You never supposed it could be so
easy to accumulate money either by
saving or investment, and it is a
great Iesson-a great game really.
Glad YOU got into the game are
YOU not?
In the past YOU literally threw
money away by buying so many use
less things, and il all comes home
with greater force since you have
been able to cut a few coupons.
Your wasted money is gone, 70 be
sure. but it is not too late to get
together a tidy little sum for the
days when you can't work.
Perhaps YOU never received any
interest money before for which you
have not labored, and this money in
stamps and bonds which you have
purchased for the sake Of world lib
erty and equal rights TO opportunity
is the biggest eye-Opener TO oppor-
tunity YOU ever had.
Keep your eye on it.
