C. Harris Telephone WAR TIME Economy The Government is urging economy everywhere. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE For twenty years we have run a team, solicited your business and de livered the goods. Our order busi ness was never better than right now. The expense has steadily increased until it now costs $1000 to $1200 per year to do this work. Who has paid this bill? THE PEOPLE! Every patron has contributed. You paid a part with every purchase. If the business as a whole succeeds, you pay a part of that $1000 per year. If it does not succeed, it is a case of get out or go into bankruptcy.' Who gets the benefit of this $1000.00 ex pense? Only those who have the goods delivered. IF YOU COME AFTER YOURS, YOU also helped pay the expense of delivering your neighbor's goods. IS THAT FAIR? MR. FARMER: Where do you come in? On the EXPENSE end ONLY. Yet you help to pay that $1000.00 every year. The expense of delivering groceries and provisions in Orleans is very close to $6000.00 per year. Who pays? How does it look in cold type? Rotten, Use less, Senseless. The Remedy Yvre propose to divide our part of that $G000 per year among our cus tomers. HOW? IN CQME-AND-GET-IT PRICES. After December Sth we shall discontinue that expense. SHALL KEEP NO TEAM OR DE LIVER ANY GOODSi Not be cause we would not like to accom modate our many loyal customers far from that. We both economize. You save on prices. We save on the expense. This step has been con templated for some time, but would not have been taken before January 1st, but for the fact that an ex perienced and valued clerk, Mr. Fred E. Wilkie, has just enlisted for war service. These young men make the great sacrifice. Will you do your bit by economizing to help them and the cause? Economy wins. This is our response to the call to "Save and Win the War." What is your re sponse? The "High Cost of Liv ina:" is the cause of universal com plaint. We will reduce that II. C. of L. if you will do your part. Here are a few samples of Come-and-get-it prices, beginning Dec- 10th: Potatoes 40c per peck, worth 44". Pork 30c per pound, " S-iC Lard 30c " " " 34c Compound 24c per pound " 27c Beans 15c per pound " 20c Crackers 45c per box " 50c Best seeded raisins 10c lb " 13c Kerosene lCc gallon " 13c FLOUR Give the boy a dime to get a bag. and then save money.

"An Orleans item tells of the amiable Colby Stoddard's- recent visit to East Charleston being followed by a fine of $100 for setting a deer snare and a fine of $10 for wife-beating. In the interest of real sport, why this dis crepancy?" The St. Johnsbury Republican adds:: "Is this an instance of the punishment fitting the crime! It re minds us that Justice David J.
