The Red Cross work rooms are bad
ly in need of more sewing machines,
ones in good condition and that can
be readily used. The ladies are re
sponding nicely to the call for
sewers and if more machines
could only be secured work would
progress rapidly. Another call
is to be made for old flannel
ette garments and old stocking
tops, which are to be made into gun
wipes. But remember all these must
be clean. Camp Pike has asked for
gun wipes, the soldiers declaring
that they often have to tear up their
handkerchiefs for such purposes.
The stocking tops and flannelette
garments are to be cut into small
squares and strung on threads ready
for use. Your old sheets and table
linen make good surgical dressing
bands', so if you have any of these to
donate, send them to the Red Cross
rooms or telephone Mrs. Billingsley.

ANNOUNCES FOR CONSTABLE.
C. M. Ivy, of Newport, has entered
the race for constable of Union town
ship, as will be learned by a glance

J. M. Nickens, and later served three
years on the local police force when
J. P. Paul was mayor. Until last
year and for three years previous he
was deputy sheriff and county jailor

Here’s a Plain
Case of Thrift
That Isn’t Bad
We’ve all heard a great deal lately
about fuel conservation, but few have
entertained the idea of ice conserva
tion. This was left to W. A. Fike,
who conducts a meat market on
Front street.
Monday when the sun shed some of
its modesty and showed that it was
no longer ashamed to be seen on the
streets, Mr. Fike’s refrigerators,
where he keeps fresh meats, began to
yawn for ice. Ice still costs money
despite the lack of a shortage, and
Mr. Fike began to feel about for a
means of eliminating a part of his op
erating expense. It did not take him
long to locate a huge bank of ice at
the rear of the R. J. Wise Grocer
Company store building on Laurel
street, where it had been chopped
from roofs, and when Mr. Wise very
kindly admitted that he was tired of
looking at and sliding down the gla
cier, Mr. Fike backed his wagon into
the alley and removed thd obstruction
to his market place, conserving sever
al hundred pounds of the ice in this
unusual way.
William N. Dunaway left last night
for Kansas City for a business trip of
three or four days and a visit to his
mother.

She Can Easily Stop All g
Outside Rust
■
; 'gS
But She Can ’t Stop Inside Rust
You never saw a raiige rust so badly on the
outside that a little oil or stove polish
wouldn’t stop the rust. But what can you
do for inside rust, even if you knew it was
rusting? You never know it until rusted
through, and you couldn’t do anything n
you knew it. By placing the sheet of cop
per between the sweaty asbestos and range . - |
body, in Copper Clad Ranges, internal rust
is prevented. The copper stops the sweat ^ .1
and the dry air space prevents any moisture f
from touching the outer casing.
If there is no internal rust, you can take
care of external rust with a greasy rag or a
little graphite or oil or parafine wax or stove
polish. Any of these things stops the rust if
you can see it.
Bug a Copper-Clad Range and be certain
that pour range will never be destroged bg
internal rust. It can't rust out.
