Nashua, N. H.~" I amnii.*teeny«ar»
For the information of read-
ers of the Banner-f'reHH. an-
nouncement is made that the
paper i« still receiving United
Press dispatches daily, an here-
tofore, and will continue to re-
ceive the same so long as other
papers do.
These telegraph dispatches
cover all of the important news
of the day, and the Banner-
Press prints the news FIRST,
six to ten hours in advance of
other daily papers.
Readers can save time and
worry, perhaps, by availing
themselves of the 'phone serv-
ice, and calling the Banner-
Press to substantiate any wild
rumors that may be in circula-
tion.
I'<»r the past week persistent
reports have been circulated
throughout the city that the
crown prince had been made a
captive, and while it jK to be
regretted that this was errone-
ous, readers of the papers may
rest assured that the Manner-
Press would have received the
news first, had it been true.
Hie Brenham daily is issued
at about i :I10 each afternoon.
In the event startling develop-
ments are Mashed over the
wire, extra editions will be on
the streets earlier. However,
the Banner-Press will not print
rumors, nor will it overlook the
opportunity to warn its readers
to guard against wild reports
circulated by pactical jokers or
malicious mischief makers.
Read the Banner, and get all
of the authentic news while it
is news.

It. is altogether likely that
there is a contrast in the feel-
ing ot the German people over
the present "victory" and the
other victories that have been
won by the imperial arms,
namely the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, the air raids over Lon-
don, and the "triumphal"
march through Belgium. Kai-
ser Bill ha# begun to pay for
the lives that have been sacri-
ficed on the altar of Kultur.
After all that has been said
and written and printed con-
cerning the attitude of the Ger-
man-born American to the land
of his adoption, and his duty
toward that land, those who
wilfully and maliciously make
disparaging or traitorous re-
marks on the subject can ex-
pect and will receive little con-
sideration. The American peo-
ple have almost arrived at the
1»>nt where patience has
ceased to be a virtue.

We don't have to
beg for cus-
tomers
Some merchants are always
pleading with the people to
"give them a share of their
patronage."
We never beg. We don't
have to beg.
The people know that we
have the goods, and the)- know
that we make the right price on
those goods, and that is all they
care a rap about.
They want goods, they want
service, they want the right
prices, and they know that tney
get all of them here. That's
why they keep on trading here
year after year.
That's the truth, and when
the truth won't bear an inspec-
tion in an ad it is time to qmt
advertising.
The RIGHT goods, at th»
RIGHT price, will always sell
themselves. We have sadi
