With the government in the
Cause of America for the
period of the war.
NOW, WOULDN’T IT MAKE YOU
I SORE,
Last night Major Massie during
the course of his address found occas
ion to strike the table by which he
stood several times with his war
hardened fist. These blows came in
emphasis of his stirring appeal for
(he. people to DO SOMETHING. It
showed that the major is hardly sat
isfied! with what we are doing.
We will say, just for instance, that
you are a soldier just back from the j
western front. You have faced the
hun in more than one bloody battle.
You have seen your comrades fall at
your side and their souls wafted from
this earth. You have, yourself, pass
ed through the shadow of death more
than one time, laid in a hospital,
wounded, with the chances for recov
ery working against you every min
ute.

There are many persons in New
port and Jackson county who ought
pSfc- to members of the Limit Club. There
are many of us who should give more
to everything that will help win the
war. Let’s not wait for a casualty
list to wake us up, but DO THINGS
NOW.
“Damn your bit; do your utmost,”
is what Major Massie said last night
when he spoke of how disgusting it
is for a soldier at the front to hear
i
that the people of America are doing j
their bit.
BATTLE AXE.
— ..
There are two all-absorbing ques
tions with us now: What’s going on
at the front? and when will it (what-1
aver “it” is) rain? Monday after
noon was a very interesting time here
—everyone interested in trying to
keep the sand out of ears, eyes, nose
jM' and throat. The only successful me
thod was to remain indoors with all
windows securely closed.
Buddy Penix and family, with Mi
Van, spent Sunday with J. W\ Lind
ley, remaining till after supper. When
these town folks get a chance at good,
square county fare they naturally
“hang on”, don’t they Buddy?
Mrs. Gardner is at Batesville this
Week, where her daughter, Mrs. J. H.
Landers, underwent an operation
Monday morning. Mr. Landers re
ported by phone that the operation
was successful, and that Mrs. Lan
ders was doing nicely.
Sorry to learn that A. K. Welch, of
near Centerville, is quite sick, having
/ been confined to his bed for several
Slays.
Much corn-planting is going on yet,
though many are practically done. ,
Some apprehension lest it fail to come
up well, as grobnd is extremely dry.
Some meeting that condition by har
rowing, rolling or dragging, to better
pulverize, and preserve the moisture.
Seems a good plan, and well worth
trying. Much talk about the next
Liberty Loan campaign, and many
more people than heretofore expecting
to invest in Uncle Sam’s securities.
Where could one find an investment
better secured? If we lose faith in
the government, we simply lose faith
in ourselves.

Michelin Tests
The Weight Test
No. I
It Stands to reason that the mileage which you get out of a tire i
depends very largely on the amount of quality rubber and fabric
which it contains. About the best method of determining the
quantity of these mileage-giving materials is to weigh the time.
Extra weight almost always means more rubber and fabric.
In selecting tires, therefore, have your dealer weigh for you
all the different makes you are considering. And, everything else
being equal, give your preference to the heaviest in quality mate
rials.
MICHELINS 12 TO 15 PER CENT HEAVIER.
If you make this test you will find an astonishing difference
in tires. For instance, nine popular non-skids (34 x 4 size) weigh
as follows:
Michelin f_26 lbs.
: Second Tire_25 lbs.
Third Tire_2214 lbs.
Fourth Tire_22 lbs.
Fifth Tire_22%lbs.
Sixth Tire_21%lbs.
Seventh Tire-21 lbs.
Eighth Tire_20 lbs.
Ninth Tire_ 18%lbs.
Concerning all the non-skids made, the Michelin Universal
weighs 12 to 15 per cent, more than the average^ the percentage
varying slightly with the size of the tire.
This extra weight due to more quality rubber and fabric means
that conditions being equal you should get extra mileage from a
Michelin. Yet Michelins cost no more than ordinary tires.

EMULSION
has been correcting this condi
tion for nearly fifty years. It
possesses rare powers for
creating natural body warmth,
for charging summer blood
with winter richness and
strengthening both throat
and lungs.
The Norwegian cod liver oil in
Scott’s Emulsion is now refined in our
own American laboratories which
makes it pure and palatable.
