that they had made some personal
investigations, and that there had
been greatly exaggerated reports

the council, will submit a special re-1
port at the meeting, and members of
the city administration and the U.

RABBI LEWIS
WITT'S MESSAGE
Rabbi Lewis Witt, of Little Rock,
one of the state’s most brilliant min
isters of the Jewish faith, as well as
patriotic citizens and workers, spoke
to a crowded house at the Methodist
church at Searcy Sunday on the War
Savings Stamps, of which he is tour
ing the state in its cause. Published
below are a few extracts from his
address, copied from the Searcy Citi
zen of Monday:
The speaker asked of those who
opposed going into this war what it
was that kept the German army off
of America. Some thought it was
the Atlantic ocean, but the aero
planes and submarines that have
ciossed the ocean show that in that
idea we were mistaken, and that it
was the British, French and Belgium
soldiers who kept Germany from

i jumping on us as they did on the
people of France and Belgium; that j
I had they jumped on us they would

He said that Germany today domi
nates Europe and that if we do not do
our whole duty Germany will domi
nate the world, and if the day should
come in which the German yoke
should be placed around our necks we
would pay taxes far in excess of the
loans we are now asked to make to
our government. In his final re
marks Rabbi Witt asked us what we
had done to merit the freedom and

home to us that we have so long en
joyed these great privileges that we

The Copper-Clad
Cabinet Range
Looks Best, Cooks Best,and Cleans
Like a Dish
i ne c-opper-oiad is a flam
Range. It is smooth like a dish.
, It has no rivet and bolt heads
, on the nickel. It has no hinges,
i catches or latches on the out
1 side. They are all inside like
an automobile body.
The ebonized iron is framed
1 with a silvery nickel, making
it the most beautiful range in
i the world. The ebonized iron
! 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- i
es rust out. Between the 1
sweaty asbestos and range body |
or outer casing is a sheet of
copper that keeps the body per- j
fectly dry and free of internal
rust.
No other range has this feat
ure. Some plate the inside
linings—next to the heat, but
that can not stop the sweat.
It’s got to be between the as
bestos and body. I

If the Copper Isn't Between the Sweaty Asbestos and Outer
Casing It Is NO7 a Copper-Clad.
