EASY TO SAVE

BY the same token that the best way
to have anything is do it yourself, the
best way to get ahead in the world
is save regularly and invest wisely.
Your children may be buying Thrift
Stamps but the nickels and dimes and
quarters they are able to save won't
buy new automobile or home or a
cultivator. The money to do that will
not be saved unless you save it.
It's easy enough to save IL you do
it the w. s. s. way. Quarters planted
in Thrift Stamps grow into War Saw
lngs Stamps and the interest makes
them grow like rain does a summer
flower. Save for that happy opportu.
atty. If you're not in War Savings
Society-get in one. Be with the
crowd.

stored to the public domain and
made subject to entry under the

West Nottingham Grange.

West Nottingham Grange met on
Friday evening, July 18th, at 8
O'Clock, with Master E. A. Mallctte
presiding.
Report was had on the blasting
demonstration by the Agricultural
College and Dupont Powder Co., TO
the effect that altho everything
pointed to successful issue on this
occasion, the inclemency of the
weather interfered to an extent.
This was staged on the farm of Mr..
A. c. Hutchins, south of Rising Sun,
and will be repeated.
The Good Roads Committee re-
ported no roads mended as yet. ex-
cept a little patching up here and
there. and were asked to cooperate
with Commissioner Cameron to Sc
cure some much needed repairs TO
kroads in the immediate vicinity OF
West Nottingham church.
The committee on soliciting sub
,cripttons to the Temple of Agricul-
ture fund, reported S55 subscribed.
This committee was requested to
continue the subscriptions until
500 is raised, and to forward it as
soon as possible to treasurer OF the
National Fund, Mr.. John A. McSpar-
ran. 1t is understood the National
Board of Farm Organizations have
already purchased a splendid site in
Washington for the Temple, and are
in need of money to close up the
deal.
A field day for general demon
stration work viz: Soil Testing, MIX
Testing, etc., was discussed and it
was finally agreed to have an outing
or picnic instead, when the Grange
members can go in a body to some
favorite spot, spend the day in recre-
alton, rest, etc.
During the literary hour Miss Mil
bred Kimble recited Father. with
quite good deal of rhetorical effect,
and made a good impression.
A very interesting treatise on THE
Importance of Milk in the Diet of
Children" was distributed TO the
members by e. Nelson James.
Mrs. VIM. T. Jenness read poem
entitled "Grays Elegy."
Mr.. Hallock presented an analysis
of "The League of Nations" and
told how it would affect our own
Nation, in the event of the League
being called on TO exercise its
powers in settlement of trouble of an
international character.
The Grange by unanimous vote
went on record as favoring the
League of Nations as agreed on by
the Paris convention.
A meeting will be held on the 25th
inst. to install new members, when
State Organizer Anthony will be
present to assist.

Warns OF Canning Compounds.

The Federal Department of Agri-
culture sends out a warning to the
housewife against the use of canning
compounds. The Department says
they should never be used, as they
are harmful to health.
The preparations are made in
powdered form and contain acids
that are unnecessary since fruits and
vegetables can be kept for long
periods in perfect condition without
any artificial preservative if proper
methods of canning are followed.
