 Perhaps still more important than these belching monsters are tle quick frers, which, IS shown in the Chino Japanese war, may be the more de- cisiyo agents in an engagement. Whether mobility and general eff ciency are not being sacrificed to mere brute force only experience will dem onstrate, and no one wishes for an en- gagement that would provide a cru cial test.

SUBSCRIPTION
OUR ANNUAL TALK.

The time Is at hand for the annual squariug up and paying off of old scores. We have made rule for a number of years not to "dun" our patrons for what they owe on snbscrlp- ton only during the fall Of the year. We think this the best plan because we are averse tol to this continual cry for money or 'he part of newspapers and f. :4 ,..c fact that farmers, and the people generally, of this section have more money than at any other time, and conse- quently tits more convenient for them to pay. is unnecessary for us to dwell on the fact that the money we are asking for now has been earned by us, is due and should be pad. All sensible people are aware of this fact.
 During our collections last year a number of people sad they were unable to pay then, and asked shat they be carried another year. We have done so, notwithstanding many were in arrears five or six years, and now we insist, and will have, a settlement of some kind. It Is destructive for any business to continue indefinitely to carry a large lumber of delinquents and to let the amounts keep on increasing year by year, and we have decided that after January 1 the paper will be stopped where a subscriber IS in arrears for one year or over, and the accounts placed out for collection. This determination has been arrived at after due deliberation and because we believe it necessary for us to do SO.
 It is very easy matter for a subscriber 10 ascertain how he stands on our books. If your paper goes to you in wrap per examine the date on the wrapper opposite your name and it will show to what date your subscription has been paid. Those who do not re- ceive their paper in a single wrapper will find the date printed on the paper opposite their name. For instance, if your paper bears the date } Jul. '97, it means that you owe from July }, 1897, to the present date. When you read thls look at your paper and see how you stand, and if you are be hind come in and square up and we'll start new
 For a time we will take wood in payment of subscription ac- counts. 16-inch wood for cook stove or 1S-inch and two-foot for heating stoves will be ac- cepted. If you desire to pay in wood please bring it in at once, as we will only take enough to last us through the winter.
 Respectfully,
 JNo. P. STAFFORD.
