Another Liberty Loan drive will
Start in this county soon. We pre
dict that little trouble will be en
countered in placing this loan, as
those who bought the last time are
that much richer now, and those who
did not buy have found where they
failed to save the amount that it
takes to own the bond, to say nothing
of the interest the bond draws. And
besides, the people are more awake
now to the causes and purposes of
the war, and patriotism is more evi
dent as a result.

Complaint is made by automobile
owners that several drivers in New
port are not observing the ordinance
Which provides that automobile head
lights be equipped with frosted lens,
or equipped in a manner not to allow
the blinding glare to interfere with
the progress of other cars. Many
accidents have been caused through
out the country by the failure of
owners to properly equip their lens,
and the local ordinance governing
this should be heeded by every one
concerned.

More citizens of Newport should
join the War Savings Stamps Limit
Club. Quite a number have purchased
to the amount of $1,000, but it is
surprising that others have not done
so. There are many men and women
of Newport who are able to aid to
this extent in the great drive for
' war funds, and in joining this patriot
ic crowd one will not only exhibit a
spirit of patriotism but will make an
investment that assures ample re
turns.
The food administrator’s ruling on
the sale and purchase of flour is
plain and will be rigidly enforced.
The merchant must co-operate with
the government, as must the consum
er, and the sale of flour in quantities
exceeding those provided by the law
should cease at once.
Go over the top with everything
the government asks you to do.
