ANNOUNCEMENT.
Effective Nov. 1st. The Chronicle
is forced to make a slight increase
in its advertising rates in order to
meet the present advancing cost of
producing the paper. In spite of
the increased cost of' everything
that goe-s into the production of a
newspaper, we have not raised our
prices, being one of the few papers
in the State to hold on to pre-war
advertising rates. It is not neces
sary for us to go into details as to
why this action is imperative now.
The increased cost of doing business
in any line is well appreciated by
every informed business man. Suf
fice to say it is costing three times
as much today to produce The
Chronicle as it did two years ago.
* 7 •'—w«*
Wc are confident that our adver
tisers will appreciate our position
and give us their hearty co-opera
tion. We are deeply grateful for
the liberal patronage accorded ns
both in our advertising and j<ib
printing departments, and our con
stant aim has been and will he to
give our customers the best service
possible at as reasonable prices as
possible under present conditions.
We are striving tp give Clinton^a
newspaper second to none in the
State for a town this size. To what
extent we are succeeding^ is due to
our subscribers and customers—
YOU. .
In order to further improve our
service we are continually enthrg-
ing our plant. As the months and
years go by and Clinton Continues
to Grow Greater—The Chronicle
hopes to grow right along.with her.

Most people know in a general
way what the Red Cross did : during
the great war but* comparatively
few know what that wonderful
agency accomplishes in peace. This
organization is not seeking to gain
support for itself in the third roll
call by capitalizing the magnificent
work done by it during the war. but
rather by pointing ahead to the
work it is now doing and will do in
the future. The Third Roll (’all of
the Red Cross which takes-place
Nov. 2-H is for the purpose of , se
curing twenty million members
who will know what the organiza
tion stands for.
Right now the Red Cross through
its various agencies is watching ov
er 125,000 sick and wounded Amer
ican soldiery in 57 hospitals in this
country It is helping the families
of American soldiers who must he
away from home because they are
service or in hospitals' It is

WHY LOCAL PAPER IS A
POWER.
The Publishers Auxiliary says
the average man can live in a big
city all his life and never see'his
name in the paper, but the farmer
and the average man and woman
in any small town will sec their
names in their local paper at least
ten times a year, and always con
nected with some worthy cause,
faithful service, something that
brings jo.v to all through life. The
country newspaper is the paper
that spreads happiness and content,
Don’t .you always want to read
about the accident you saw the oth
er day? If you witness a fire you
read the detail sof that fire with
" double interest. If you hadn’t
seen the blaze perhaps you would
not read the story at all- Why is
this? It is because the dungs you
know about are the things you like
to read about. That is why country
newspapers have such a tremend
ous hold on their readers. They
tell them about the coming and go
ing of their friends and neighbors,
the people they know and are in
terested in.' Nothing on earth is as
interesting to the farmer and the
ppople living in the small town as
the news of their babies, the mar
riage of their boys and girls, their
The organization is maintaining
active relief commissions abroad
from the English channel to the
far eastern coast of Siberia. It
holds itself prepared at a moment’s
notice to give succor to any com
munity of people stricken by sud
den disaster. It is extending in
struction in first aid to reach all
schools and factories in the land. It
is teaching patriotism and service
to the youth of the nation through
the Junior Red Crons ,,■ ■■ , .
These are some of the things
thaLAhe Red Cross is doing now
and which go to prove that “Peace
hath her victories no less renown
ed than War.” But under the re-
nerwed impetus of a membership of
twenty million Red Cross is ready
for a broader field of workr^Tt will
build up an organization of trained
nurses and capable volunteers that
will make epidemics almost impos
sible. It plans to arouse every
county in the United States to the
necessity of securing a public
health nurse whose services will be
available to the entire community,
rich and poor. It will provide care
for mothers and babies and thus 1
save for usefulness thousands of lit
tle lives now annually sacrificed be
cause of ignorance.
Red Cross will make more exten
sive preparation to send relief to
communities overwhelmed by fire,
pestilence, floods and other catas
trophes. It will cooperate with all
existing welfare organizations with
no attempt to supplant any, but to
prevent overlapping and focus the
works and aims of all to the accom
plishment of greater results.
This in brief is some of the mag
nificent w T ork the Red Cross is now
doing and will do.
Your membership in the Red
Cross costs just one dollar. Can
you do more with your dollar than
this?
