Next year when you are told by one
of your neighbors that he had recived
a dividend check from the ARDMORE
AKRON TIRE and RUBBER CO.,
plus a saving of 30 per cent, on his tire
and tube bills, are you going to say:
“I had a chance to get in that com
pany when Bohannon was in Spring
field, but l turned it down for the rea
son so many people get stung and I
would not take a chance. I should
have investigated, or had my banker]
do so for me, then this would not have
been a case of lest opportunity. I now
know that a few dollars invested in

Obituary
1 David Hilan Cunard, a brother
of Wayne Cunard, living near
Vilas, has joined the ranks of the
comrades who have paid the one
great price for democracy.
In a message from the bureau
of navigation to ills mother at
Cresent, Okla., the sad news
came that David had died from
an attack of pneumonia while on
board tliu ship Sundiago cnroute
to Franee.
The message gave no particu
lars but stated that he was bur
ied at sea.
Mr. Cunard was well known
and highly esteemed by many of
the people in the vicinity of Vil
as, whore he tiled on and proved
up a claim.
He enlisted in the service only
a short time ago, and though his
death was untimely and carries
to the hearts of his relatives and
friends its message ol' sadness,
yet there is a wonderful consola
tion in that his sacrilice was (or
his country.
It is reported that he carried
insurance in the Woodmen Lodge,
tlso government insurance, with
which to care for his mother.
We all sympathize with the
sorrowing relatives.

America must save the wheat j

tlona who are fighting Germany j
and the evil It represents. Those '
<var.tom lands have little wheat ?
of their own. Without it they
will fall.
In order to meet the demand
