Let Unde Sam have the coal
Thousands of tons of coal will be saved this summer in homes that
formerly used a kitchen range all during the hot weather. These homes
are going to use oil cook stoves so there will be more coal next winter

there should be one in yours. You will
not only save coal you will save money.
Kerosene is far cheaper than coal. And
with a New Perfection you can have the
same good things to eat and with less
work, trouble and time. It doesn't heat
up the whole kitchen like a coal fire
does, either. You can regulate the heat
exactly as you want it. No fire to fix.
No ashes to bother with. Many good

Atlantic Rayolight is a superior kerosene

No Better Investment.
From whatever angle it may
be considered, an investment by
an American citizen in Liberty
Bonds or War Savings Stamps is
the best investment in the world.
The money so invested goes to
the Government, which loans
some of it to our allies: all of it is
used in one way or another to
maintain, support, arm, equip
and make victorious our armies
and all our allies in Europe.
Surely no American money could
be put to a better purpose. Here
is an investment in the power
and success of our country, an
investment in the efficiency,
strength, safety, and success of
our fighting men on sea and land.

"rich bonanzas" to turn up.
There is nothing like being prac
tical and there is but one way to
be so. Acvuire business habits
and train yourself to do good,
honest, hard work. Don't waste
your time learning to tie a cravat.
You can buy cravats already tied.
CREAM
The Most Valuable Product of the Farm
Do you farmers realize that the profitable business of cream production is rap
idly coming into favor do vou realize that it IS profitable: even yielding
better returns than grain or live stock?
We have established a permanent market at McConnellsburg, and as the cream we
gather is for the manufacture of ice-cream and evaporated milk products,
we can always pay a higher price than creamerymen
buying cream tor butter making.
Our station will be open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of each week
and we would be glad to have you call and talk the matter over
with our manager, Mr. Frank Tritle.
