Monday evening, Nov. 2nd, a
nice group of the Baptist women
responded to the Invitation of Mrs.
M. E. Nelson, our new President,
to meet in her home and plan for
the year's work. It was decided at
this meeting that it would not be
hard to have a Standard WMS
organization since our out-going
President and her co-workers had
kept the work going so well during
their term of office.
The evening was enjoyed and
well spent. The hostess served a
delicious lunch just before the crowd
left, each one feeling they would
enjoy another invitation of this

TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS
Because of the war, the buying of
groceries and meats are very limited.
We are trying our dead-level best to
please our patrons in buying groceries
to supply them but find that when sev-
eral dozen articles are ordered that only
half of them are delivered and we are
also allowanced as to what we buy
wholesale.
We are going to do our best to serve
you in Staple and Fancy Groceries and
meats and ask that you continue to visit
us and buy as you have before. It is not
our fault that we do not have what you
want and the amount you wish to buy,
but due to the fact that we have a war
to win, and we must win it or we will all
have to live on a great deal less than our
present allowance,, we are forced to
serve you as best we can.
Yours to win this war!

Observe These Simple
Safety Suggestions
In Your Home
Pennies or slugs behind fuses are dan-
gerous.
Electric cords in door jambs are likely
to be squeezed, breaking protective cover-
ing.
Leaving h'iating appliances connected
when not in use frequently causes fire.
Cords run under rugs become worn
quickly.
Disconnecting appliances by pulling
on the cord has a tendency to loosen the
connection and is a frequent cause of
trouble.
Cords should be examined regularly.
Frayed or worn cords should be replaced
to prevent short circuits.
Be sure to have all electrical repairs
and wiring made by a competent electrical
contractor.
