WARNING!
The State Council of Defense Is
urging all farmers and others who
will have need for repairs for har
vesting machinery, to take the mat
ter up with their local dealers at
once, as the prospects of serious car
shortages and other like difficulties
are growing.
Prineville merchants will care for
your wants as quickly as anyone
under normal conditions, but must
first have your orders.
The latest warning issued in this
matter is as follows:
"The railroad situation is critical.
Local freight shipments are side
tracked for weeks at a time. Ex

j Because the only safe road to Peace is Victory.'
Because soldiers and sailors cannot win unless the
every man, woman and child refrains from everything not absolutely
necessary to health and efficiency, and thus releases labor for the pro
duction of materials of war and the support of our army and navy.
Because every pair of shoes, every suit of clothes, every hat, every suit of
underwear, etc., not necessary, used by us at home, means one less
pair of shoes, one less uniform, one less overcoat, one less muffler
for our boys who are fighting to make our homes safe.

You can buy a United States Thrift Stamp for 25 cents. A card is furnished on which to paste it Sixteen of these, plus a few cents cash will buy a War Savings Stamp. On January I, 1923,

COMMISSION KB MSTKR
The great slink country south
and east of Prineville Is represented
on the county court for the first
time In many years.
The Importance of this part of
the county Is such that it should
never again bo without r presenta
tion. The proper administration of af
fairs of the county Is only possible
when the court Is made up of men
who actually represent the diftVrcut
Industries In the county.
The deplorable condition of the
Prlnevllle-raulina roads would never
have been possible had this fact
been considered In the past, and re
gardless of the bad condition of the
county's finances, will be corrected
If men of the Lister typo are always
elected on the board of commission
ers. '
Mr. Lister has not announced his
Intention to be a candidate to suc
ceed himself, but no doubt could be
Induced to do so. If he were assured
the support a man of his ability
should get.
All-candidates for county offices
must file their petitions before April
17, and It Is important that some
good business man, some big man,
be elected as commissioner, from
the Paulina country.
H. J. Lister fills every require
ment, has made a good record thus
fur In the office, and should be
elected to succeed himself If he can
be prevailed upon to accept the
office.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS
To anyone who doenn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
In the preparation of smoking tobaccos
In the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok
ers of this country will recognise It more
readily by Its trade name. "LUCKY
STRIKE "the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga
rettes and these are being bought In
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to tha boys
In France. .
This new process of treating tobacco
not only Improves the flavor of the tobacco
but It seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarette keep better.
The Red Cross nurse Is slwsys glad to
have a cigarette for tha wounded soldier,
is in moat instances, that la the first
tluug asked for.

Because U. S. Bonds, War Savings Stamps and U. S. Thrift Stamps must
be purchased by the people from money saved from their incomes
every dollar spent for an unnecessary thing is a force for evil When
that dollar buys labor and materials for equipping our army and
navy it has a double force first it ceases to aid the enemy and
second it is fighting for us in behalf of mankind. Be sure that your
pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars are enlisted in the cause
of your country. An idle dollar is a SLACKER dollar, but a dollar
wasted in war time is a TRAITOR dollar.
Because you should not let another day go by until you have actually
given up some real thing for your country "until it hurts."
