Recent published statements of the
different banks of the county show
Jackson county to be in an unusually
prosperous humor. The depositor is
fortunate in having such strong banks
in which to leave his funds and
capable and trustworthy bankers
with whom to entrust their business
affairs.
—o—
As spring becomes more seasoned
and one is able to look about the
town without shivering there meets
the eye much evidence that Newport
is in need of a big clean-up drive.
Sanitary conditions in some sections
of the city are surprising, it is said,
due to the fact that residents are
neglecting their duty to keep their
premises in a clean condition. Along
the sidewalks and in the gutters of
the business district trash is allowed
to accumulate. This state of affairs
does not present a very good adver
tisement for the town when a visitor
aligts from the train in daytime.
Let’s fix the date for a general clean
up, and when we clean up, let’s sta?
cleaned up.
ANNIVERSARY OF OUR
ENTRY INTO THE WAR.
A plan has been suggested to ob
serve April 6, the first anniversary
of America’s entry into the war, as
National Win the War Day.
Every state council of defense, ev
ery county and community council,
every mayor, every liberty bond com
mittee, every patriotic society, every
labor organization, and every school
board, it is suggested, should at once
make definite plans to make the day
a great success.
The “winter of our discontent’’ with
its coalless days and congested rail
road and other minor annoyances is
past.
The spring, with its abundant crops
and increased industrial production, is
here.
Now is the time of America’s home
army to mobilize, and thus bring
courage to our boys in the trenches
and cantonments, and depression to
our enemies.
Jermany feel that this is a
war in America. The effect
oi navmg the nation a unit in patriot
ic thought on this day cannot be over
estimated. It will bring renewed
courage and hope to our brave allies.
In asking the people to invest in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the
government is not asking them to
contribute money.

The Copper-Clad
Cabinet Range
Looks Best, Cooks Best, and Cleans
j Like a Dish
ine ^opper-Liad is a Flam
Range. It is smooth like a dish.
It has no rivet and bolt heads
on the nickel. It has no hinges,
catches or latches on the out
side. They are all inside like
an automobile body.
The ebonized iron is framed
with a silvery nickel, making
it the most beautiful range in
the world. The ebonized iron
I never cracks, peels or discolors.
It wipes clean like a dish.
The best thing about a Cop
per-Clad is that it outlasts any
range, because lined with pure ;
sheet copper where other rang
es rust out. Between the
sweaty asbestos and range body
or outer casing is a sheet of
copper that keeps the body per
fectly dry and free of internal
rust.
No other range has this feat- |
ure. Some plate the inside j!
linings—next to the heat, but
that can not stop the sweat.
It’s got to be between the as
bestos and body.
If the Copper Isn't Between the Sweaty Asbestos and Outer
Casing It Is N07 a Copper-Clad. I
