VILL SAVE YOU HONEY If you knew that you could get several dollars tack for every dollar you invested it would not take you long to decide, would it? You would invest at once. Well, that is just what you can do by investing in the subscription price to your Local Newspaper. It will be the means of saving you several dollarsxluring the year if you will allow it t6 do so. It is the best in vestment you can make for the money. Say nothing about the local news it carries but' considen'it just as a business proposition, , a money saver. It carries the advertisements of the local mer chants, a'nd by keeping track of these from week to week you will be able during the year- to save yourself many times the cost of the year's subscription in pay ing the things you need and want. All you have to do is to watch the advertising columns and trjta bargains offered by your home merchants will allow you to supply your wants at the bargain prices ney offer, This helps in another way. It helps the local mer chant to keep up his stock if you buy at home and ' makes his a better store for your community. It helps the newspaper business, which is boosting your home town every week. Both of these help you as they help to make your town a little better arid that means increasing the value of your property. iYou get the idea ? Take" your home newspaper as an. investment, not as a sort of act of charity, but be cause it will be worth real money to you. You can make it worth more or less, just as you" use it.

Those who subscribe for it and get it right away will have taken the bargain you may want. Get your name on the list right away. JESUS IS CALLING. Jesus is calling you, sinner, ' . Why will you wander away? .

Calling for you, what will you do? Jesus is calling, yes, calling for you, W'aiting today, He is the way, 'Jesus is calling, yes, calling for you. How will it be with you, sinner, When the great trumpet shall sound ? Where will you stand in the judgment How will your record be found? If it is wanting, in judgment, You will be banished away Into the regions of darkness, Where you forever will stay. Why will you mgex-Jwt sin tier, Slighting the Savior's command, Wandering idle in darkness, Following Satan's own band?. If you wil come unto.
