It Pays To Read
Advertisements
You've often heard the saying, "It pays to advertise." That
is true. And it also pays to read advertisements pays you. If
you read advertisements consistently for any length of time you
will agree that this statement is also true.
.
IT PAYS YOU IN MONEY SAVED. There are many real bar
gains offered from time to time in the advertisements ap
pearing in this paper. Watch for them.
IT PAYS YOU IN SATISFACTION. When a merchant asks
you to come to his store he obligates himself to sell you qual
ity goods "as advertised." You have a right to expect satis
- faction from what you buy and you get it.
IT PAYS YOU IN TIME SAVED. When you know exactly
what you want to buy and where you want to buy it, you
don't have to "look aroun,d" and waste time finding it.
Don't you want to save money and time? Wouldn't you like to
be sure of getting satisfactory service and quality goods every
time- you go to a store? Then read the advertisements and pa
tronize the store which can serve you best.

WARS SET UP PRINCIPLES
Momentous Questions Troubling Man
. kind Hav Been Settled by the
World's Greatest Cenfflcts.
' Wars, are milestone. Victories set
up tablets, upon which are Inscribed
the principles . that have been vindi
cated. ' The battle o Marston Moor de
stroyed feudalism, overthrew the doc
trine of the divine right of king, gave
England an elective parliament,' Rev.
Dr. Newell Dwlght HUH said la a ser
mon reported In the Brooklyn Eagle.
The French revolution destroyed
French autocracy, and gave the people
the right of self-determination. ,
The war of 1770 wa the last civil
war of Great Britain a war of a good
section of the English people against
the bad section of Great Britain which
had enthroned a crazy German king
George in. .
The war of 1861 established on sure
foundations the republic, the last best
hope of man. and vindicated Industrial
democracy without regard to color.
The war of, 1014 ha settled certain
things for all time. War shall be no
morel Hereafter disputes between
races shall be settled by an Interna
tional supreme court. Militarism shall
be no' more never again shall, the peo
ple's resources be wasted In piling up
munitions, nor the man In the furrow
carry a soldier upon his back. Inter
national treaties hereafter shall be
sacred I Alas for the next nation that
counts Its written pledge a scrap of
paper and defies International law!
The small races and peoples are free!
No big bully nation like Germany can
ever again trample npon Belgium, as
KJng Ahab trampled on Naboth and
seized his purple vineyard. Terrorism
and frlghtfulness henceforth are out
lawed. That clay god called "the
state," that Germany made unto her
self and hns long been worshiping, Is
an Idol that has fallen.
