NOTICE
The Federal Government asks that all retail merchants put their
Business upon a war time basis.
The Commercial Economy Board of the Council of National Defense
recommends that merchants
Grant Credit for No Longer than Thirty Days
Sell More Necessities and Less Luxuries
Make Only One Delivery a Day
The idea of the government is to reduce the expense of doing business to the mer
chant with the object in view that the goods and Merchandise sold will reach the
consumer at a less cost. gp-*
Relieving that the adoption of these economies is tl e doing of a patriotic duty, the
business houses of Cordova have decided to adopt the following practice, namely:
That all bills contracted in any month shall be paid not later than the 15th of the
succeeding month or satisfactory arrangements must be made by that date for a
definite extension of time.
That all parties owing old bills which they are unable to settle at the present time
must make definite arangements in regard to the same.

DON’TS FOR KNITTERS OF SOCKS
Don’t cast on tightly. An otherwise
well knitted scok may become useless
by this tight cord at the top.
Don’t knot your wood. Join it by
splicing the ends or leave two or three
inches or each end and darn back
carefully.
Don’t make a heel with a seam on
the sole.
Remember a man may not have a
chance to change his socks for many
days, and a lump or knot brings a
blister. If the blister breaks blood
poisoning may set in and result in the'
loss of a foot or even a life. We can
not afford to lose our men through
I negligence or ignorance.
Don’t use black, dark or bright
colors. There is again a danger of
poisoning.
Don’t use needles too fine for the
wool. The knitting should be elastic;
if too tightly knitted the sock becomes
hard and boardlike in use.
Don’t make a foot less than 11
inches long.
Make all measurements by ruler,
with sock flat on table. Do not stretch '
sock.
Socks should be laundered as fol
lows:
Wash seeks in warm water with
i ivory soap, then rinse in water the
| same temperature. Squeeze but do
I not wring. Pour over boiling water
J and let stand until cool. Hang until
! nearly dry and press with warm (not
| hot) iron. Do not press ribbing.

Tears of joy and sadness come rrom
the same tank.
It was too much apple sauce that
got Adam into trouble.
Wise is the worn a v. ho wears a
muzzle on her gossip department.
Even thirsty men are not anxious to
line up in front of a bar of justice.
I LOVE YOU
She was too young to die.
So beautiful, so fair;
Upon her smooth, white brow
There lay no trace of care.
Yet she had drunk a potion
And prayed that she might die!
Knowing well her rich estate.
Her friends all wondered why.
Watching about her bed,
Where death stood grimly by,
One friend there whispered low,
“Please, dear one, tell us why;
You are so well beloved,
Your husband worships so.”
“Ah.” she breathed, I was not sure—
He never told me so!”
Many lives are empty.
Caresses are too few;
Often hearts have perished
Waiting for “I love you!"
So if you have a loved one
Who's very dear to you.
Take her in your arms today
And say, "Dear, I love you!”
i
The charm of these three woiv.s
Will brighten life anew—
Your dearest rest content
In hearing “I love you.”
So you must not merely think
Your love is strong and true—
Remember, let her hear you say
That same old magic “I love you!”
—Annabelle Dennison MacConnell.
