Watch oil
will Wear out,
Evaporation and chemical changes use
up watch oil changing it from.a lub-J -ricating
fluid into dust, dirt and
rust. The oil is good for 12 to 18
months, then the watch needs clean
ing and reoiling. Have this done at
Clinton's and it will be done in the
best possible way, at the lowest
charge good work can be done for.
You save your watch and save money
by having Clinton's take enro of,your

AfQer tho bond drive comes tho
"Carry On" spirit. Ono stamp buyer
Is as a single soldier working alono,
but tho War Savings Society is a
whole regiment that goes "over the
top" with a real American war whoop.
This thrift army has no age limit
and no exemptions. Everyone can
save his nickels and dimes and join.
Why?
1. To awaken a. realization among
peoplo that in their hands lies tho suc
cessful carrying on of tho war. This
Is a people's war. .
2. To lay tho foundation for na
tional thrift and economy. This is the '
soason of self-denial. 1
3. To obtain money for tho gov-'
eminent If money Is needed to carry,
on this war, and it Is our war, the ap-1
peal to reason is why is it necessary
for a great wave of enthusiasm in
order to raise money for the purpose?
Isn't tho dally casuallty list sufficient
reminder that men aro dying that -wo
may enjoy. ,
How To Save. Join a War Savings
Society. Sign a pledgo to save and
givo what you can. Ten or more per
sons .may form a society. Organize

your business, school, district, school,

society. Step to tho front, ladles and
gentlemen and littlo children. This
Is a call for volunteers. Will tho;
lawyers orthe doctors, the shops or
the clmrches be tho first to respond?
. Bert Barber has just received ap-'
pplntment by wire as Director of the
Lincoln County War Savings Societies. '
Volunteer organizers of Societies'
should communicate with him at onco
for application blanks, membership '
cards", necessary forms, etc. j
Every dollar saved now is twice
blessed. It roloases onorgy expended

LARD IS WORTH
MORE THAN. LUMBER
It takes more than his bristles to keep a hog warm.
Jf he is not otherwise protected, he will have to absorb
his own fat.
It is cheaper, to use cheap lumber than valuable lard to
keep your hogs comfortable.
Also even a hog responds to the right kind of shelter
arid care.
. . All of which means
it is PATRIOTIC to raise hogs to supply the much
needed fats.
It is WISE to give hogs the proper shelter and care to
produce the maximum of fat from the minimum of feed.
It is ECONOMICAL to build the RIGHT KIND ot
shelter at first instead of later. ?
' It is PLAIN GOOD BUSINESS to secure designs drawn
by agricultural experts who know and materials from men
who have the right kind at the right price.
Our claims to have both the DESIGNS and the MA
TERIAL best suited for this work can easily be proven by
by your personal investigation.
Come in and let us show you.
