THE THRIFT STAMP
CAMPAIGN IS ON
COMMITTEES      IN     TOWN      AND
COUNTRY ACTIVELY AT.
WORK
Attempts Will Be Mai.rte to Dispose of
Full  Quota  AVith Usual
Dispatch.
THE SALINE CANDY KITCHEN
The drive to dispose of a quota oil
more than $50,000 worth of War Savings stamps, ailoted to Saline district, is under way, and there will be
no let up on tlie part of the solicitors
until the same is successfully concluded.
A rousing meeting qf the -workers
of the several sections was held in
the council rooms on Friday evening,
at wh,ic-h time Francis Bacon of Ann
Arbor impressed on all present the
importance of the undertaking. He
also explained at sumo length the extent c,f the German spy system in this
qouritry, the thoroughness of which
includes carefully prepared maps en
file in Berlin of practically every
prosperous farming section of the
United States. He sored unmercifully the business men of any cpni/-
munity who do not -feel sufficient interest in the welfare of our country
in these trying times to attend' the
meetings called for patr.otic endeavor. At the close all were pre.vid.ed
with pledge cards, posters, window
tjanne'rs, etc., and by the time this
issue is mailed the country tar miles
around will be well awaie the campaign is on.
On Sunday afternoon a meeting
was held at the home of Charles
Miller, at which time the plan of the
work in the village, was outlined.
This will be in charge of the women.
For the benefit of all a school of instruction will be. held in the council
roomp this evening. Francis Bacon
and: Horatio Abbott of Ann Arbor will
go over the plans in detail and the
ladies will start in on their campaign on Friday.
At Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, a
"bfig mass meeting of the young' men
of draft age was' held Sunday afternoon and practically all of th.em volunteered, to get into the gaine of selling War Savings stamp-.
A big task cc.nfronts the woikers.
A large number consider the stamp-
rather insignil.cent and pi-inc.i;.ally
for children. Nothing could be
farther f.om the truth. The government expects the sale of $20 worth
to every man, woman and child in
the country. This means that those
■who are able to must subscribe for
larger amounts to offset the lap.-es
bound to occur by reason of the
inability of many households to absorb their full quota. If you can
take a .hundred or five hundred dollars worth, it is your duty to do so.
They pay the largest percentage of
interest of any government securities,
and are the only obligations of the
•kind the government will redeem
after reasonable notic.e.
Encouraging reports already are
coming in from canvassers, several
thousands of dollars worth of stamps
having been subscribed for as we go,
to press!

;■ Be Sure of Value
I     -.   You know that it's  easier sometimes to
give an example than a definition.   That's the
■■     way we feel about the word "value."
I It would take a lot of space to tell you
I about the value you'll get at this store, but it
I would only take a few minutes to show you
I and convince you.
r
'[ In the interest of national economy,  it's"
I your duty to look for value in everything you
'■' buy.    Don't buy less of the things you need,
\ buy better things and the less you'll need.

The Cultivator You Hear About
THERE are a lot of cultivators on the market  Some
are good—others not so good.   But there is one
that nearly every farmer has heard about"  .
International Mo. 4 Pivot Axle Cultivator
Every man that lias ever used an International No. 4 is always ready to say a good word for its clean work and easy operation. Every man th'fhas a feoy of !4 or over ought to put him in the field
-with a No. 4.   Chances are he will beat his dad at doing a clean job.
You can dodge in crooked rows and clean out tha weeds in a way that
will surprise you. This is because the wheels pivot and the gangs shift with
ene slight motion of the foot. Easy?:—It is the simplest cultivator you ever
rode on. You can change the cultivating width without stopping the team.
Just a twist of the wrist.
The only way to satisfy yourself that we are not stretching th« truth and
alio to learn nboutthe many other exclusive features of the No. 4 is to come
ia and take a look at our samples. "
