“ Take it from M e ”
says the Good Judge
Wise tobacco chewers long
since got over the big-chew
idee. A litiie chew ;.t this
real quality tobacco gives
them better satisfaction
and they find their chew­
ing costs even less.
With this class of tobacco,
you don’ t need a fresh
chew so often and you find
you’ re saving part of your
tobacco money.

THE REAL TOBACCO CHEW
AUGUST
When the armistice was signed
the Mar Department had on hand
ready for shipment to our “dough-
hoys" in the front line trenches
15,000,000 hand gredades to blast the
Germans out of their holes. Ameri­
can made, these grenades were the
latest and best grenades used by
either side in the Great War.
The Treasury Department has ob­
tained these grenades, removed the
TNT and converted them into valua­
ble souvenirs as War Savings Banks.
The grenade is
inches high, of
oval shape, and with a removable
bottom so that coins can be taken
out. The coins are deposited thru
a srlot cut in the side.
These grenade banks will be dis­
tributed to individuals thru the In­
dependence National Bank. They
are valuable souvenirs of the great
war and the supply is limited.
Owing to the advance in price on
barber supplies, on and after Sept.
1, haircuts will be 50 cents and plain
shampoos 35c.

WOMAN KILLED WHEN AUTOMOBILE UPSETS
Saturday night, Aug. 23, was a night of automobile ac­
cidents. Besides the one in which Mrs. Verna Aiarks was
killed, six others were reported in the near vicinity of In­
dependence. There were four collisions and two turn­
overs.
An Independence young man has confessed to a few
friends his liking for Lila Lee and with their assistance
has written a letter to the young lady in which he ex­
presses his desire to meet her. During the past summer
lie has witnessed every moving picture shown in the state
in which Aiiss Lee was the star.
