Wrigley’s Gum! Six rea-sons why it’s a good friend: 1. Steadies nerves. 2. Allays thirst. 3. Aids appetite. 4. Helps digestion. 5. Keeps teeth clean. 6. It’s economi-cal. Keep the soldiers and sailors supplied!! Three fla-vors: Spearmint, Doublemint, Juicy Fruit. Chew it after every meal. The flavor lasts!

May 16, 1918The community was very

much surprised last Monday when the U.S. Marshal came up from Aberdeen and took into custody Pankratz Pfaller as an enemy alien on a presi-dential warrant, as the result of his answers to the question-aire. The fact that Mr. Pfaller is an alien, we believe is rather his misfortune. He came here about four years ago and we have learned to know him a quiet peaceful, law-abiding and industrious fellow and believe an investigation in his case will release him as not of danger to our country’s noble cause.Campbell County Progress

It has been our experi-ence, after killing a few hundred rattlers, that snakes coming out in the spring do not linger long around their winter homes, while the fall of the year as they come to their dens for the winter they may be killed in masses, but if everyone would make it a point to kill them wherever found will greatly help. A female killed now means a dozen or more little ones are also killed. We invariably carry in our car a good stout green club.
