Farm sales and other annoonoelneate of interest to this particular part of the wide, wide world would have no publicity. Our local merchants would have no cheap and quick way of telling you what they provide for yon. Our elturebos and schools and other institutions world lutve no medium of new or appeal. And this whole community would slip back and be the sport of joke -smiths, Would city papers take the place of The Ncws'Record ? You know they would not. T1H1 point of ie all is : W e are raising the puce of The News -Record on January I5tiz to $1,60 a year. Now if you "kink" and drop your subscription, you say in effect, "Phis community doesn't; need a local weekly, If I Oen do without The News -Record, all others can." We do not believe for ono moment that the good people of Clinton and county and neighborhood mean to "kick" or drop their sub- ' serlption to The News -Record, We expect all our sobseribez's to recognize the new conditions of living and publishing that have made the dollar rate impossible to continue. But we want to let .yeti see that your weekly newspaper at the higher rate of S cents a week—the price of a postage stamp—still costs an insignificant sum when you reckon up the service your weekly newspaper ren- ders you and this whole community, - 13e loyal to and proud of the community you live in.

There is, then a great responsibility resting upon them to conserve supplies need- od oVerseas and to utilize perishable foods. Waste in all its many forms should be regarded not only as a sitz, but as actual disloyalty in war time, It is important that sufficient and nourishing food should be provided, suited to the needs of the different members of the family. Arbitrary rules in this case are of little value but the principle is of general ap- plication,—that the women fit the homes Dalt do ler more important patriotic scrViee then by guarding against waste, The question of sub- stitution is very largely In their hands. A little saving in every hone, when multiplied by all the hoinee in the Dominion, would mean a Veriz large attempt of food pro - duets saved for tits soldiers. i Deeeo,tter etch, 1417 CLINTON'S GREAT MERCHANDISING RISING EV N' BROWN'S Gigantic and Unrivaled FIRE SALE STILL ON COATS Less Than Wholesale Prices 1.4 Buy FURS 1=3 1�-2 This off Week Trade Epigram "As the blacksmith strikes when the iron is hot, so the wise buyer will make her selections early THIS WEEK " We are always doing something unusual; something surprising; always manoeuvering some deal to give our patrons extraordinary values.
