Owing to the high cost of all merchandise and the ever increas
ing cost of doing business we the undersigned merchants of Try on,
have decided upon the following method of handling all account s.
Beginning November 1st, all accounts must be settled by the 10th M the month or further credit will
be refused. This applies to all alike and no favoritisn will be shown. After you have become accustomed to
this plan we feel sure you will see the justice of it and will be pleased with this method of handling accounts.
It is not our purpose to work a hardship on any person, but in justice to you and our creditors we are obliged
to adopt this plan.

T Betters from our boys in the 'trenches and
from the women in canteen and other
war work, all bring to us . the same mes
sage SEND US NEWS FROM HOME.
World news is all right, but OUR BOYS
want NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want
the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented
from sending their papers free to anyone, even
boys in the service. Consequently a national
movement has been started by Col. William
Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting
as President of the Home Paper Service of
America to give the boys what they are calling
for. Every community is joining the movement.
Let us see that our boys are not forgotten.
Send to the publisher of this newspaper
whatever amount of money you can 5
cents or $50.00. We will publish a list
each week of those contributing, and the
amounts contributed.
Every cent received will be used to send
this paper to our boys at the front. If at
the end of the war, there is any surplus, it
will be turned over to the local Red Cross
Committee.
There is no profit 'in this to the publisher
even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold
at a profit. With war prices prevailing, and the
high rate of postage on papers sent to France,
our cost will scarcely be covered by our full
subscription price.

Paris. One of the struggles In
which the French soldiers became In
volved when the Germans swept across
the Aisne between Soissons and Reims
was with chewing gum. I refer to
Chicle Amerlcnnus, the to us well
known vegetable product which may
be found adhering to the underside of
desks, to shoe soles, and to trouser
seats throughout the United States.
The self-same article that at once
solaces the weary shop girl and the
tired business man who endeavors
therewith to conceal the fume of the
drinks that cheer.
An American ambulance train was
operating in the general region of the
drive, and the army post exchanges
established and operated for it by the
T. M. C. A. were well supplied with
the things which are necessary to the
comfort physical and mental of the
American soldlex. The Red Triangle
officials had established a storehouse
to supply these exchanges, and a car
load of supplies had been shipped to It
Just before the Germans started their
drive. The carload carried besides
chocolate, tobacco, canned goods,
cookies, etc. a considerable quantity
of chewing gum.
When the drive started the Red Tri
angle workers available started out
with what they could carry to serve
the men to whom they were attached.
The storehouse was left deserted. As
the French retired - they foraged to
keep supplies from falling into en
emy hands, using what they could and
destroying the rest.
The Poilus who came upon the
chewing gum like most Frenchmen
were totally unfamiliar with it. They
knew only that it looked like food,
was wrapped like food, and was stored
with other things they knew to be
food. They ventured further and tried
it, stuffing the entire contents of a
package into their mouths at one
time. It tasted like food, so after a
brief period of mastication they es
sayed to swallow it. Too many of
them succeeded. While no serious
casualties resulted the Poilus were 4n
spired with a remarkable regard for
American digestive apparatuses and
considerable awe for American edibles.
