The undersigned respectfully report
that on the 25th day Of June, 1907, in
company with the chairman Of your
board we visited the Wapello County
Insane Asylum and made careful in

observations as we could of the man

cur judgment It's condition and man
agement is very satisfactory.
In view Of the fact that there Is now
room at said asylum for about one doz-
en- more patients, about six of each
sex; we suggest that we combine our
efforts to have transferred from the
insane hospital at Mt. Pleasant, say six
women and six men. of those that are
recognized as incurables, who are now
supported by Wapello county. That in
cur judgment they will have az COM

Heart to Heart Talk.

The charges on printing and
publishing newspapers are becom-
ing enhanced constantly and as the
cost of living is advancing likewise
there would seem to be no way out
but to increase the price at which
newspapers are sold and job print
ing is charged for. Print paper has
advanced in price from one dollar
and eighty five cents per 100 pounds
to two dollars and ninety-tive cents
and other paper in proportion.
Wages of printers and pressmen
have increased fifty per cent. Even
type metal has gone up from six
cents pound to twelve cents and
nearly every article used in the
printing business has had similar
rise in price. The country newspa
per is the chief sufferer by these in
creased prices because it is almost
impossible to charge more for adj
vertising than the regular rates that
have prevailed for years or it's pat
rons may decrease the space they
now use to even matters up and the
financial condition of the publisher
would thus be no better. To in
crease the subscription price would
probably produce a similar result
by the loss in numbers more than
offsetting the increase in amount.
Thus the country newspaper prop
rietor is haning on the horns of a
dilemma from which it Is difficult
to escape. As in this age Of tariff
protected trusts the people are be-
ing plundered by increasing prices
so all the principle items OF cost in
producing a newspaper are likewise
controlled by some tariff protected
combine. The print paper trust
and the metal trust and the type
trust and other machinery corpora
tions are all protected from COM
petition from abroad by the tariff
and have very generally combined
to prevent competition from rivals
at home. Delinquent subscribers
should bear this in mind and make
prompt efforts to remunerate.

cAin't it HI to be Poor. "

Like all fellows, we believe, who
run a country newspaper, the above
thought has often come to us in
times of mental and physical pros
strat1on, occasioned by a strict ad-
herence to duties or perhaps who
knows, from an affection In the
upper story, but we have always
piously refrained from uttering
such remarks in print, but mas
much as we saw the words last
Saturday pasted in big red letters
on the grip of a travelling man for
a cash register concern at the depot
station, it struck us most fOrcibly
that it was pretty close to being
true, and that if our subscribers
would all pony up promptly The
Herald might own cash register In
the far-away-distant future, al
though up to the present Tlme we
have had no occasion for such an
expensive luxury.

Pearl Fishing Season.

The high water IN the Mississippi
river is receding and the pearl fish
ers are getting their boats and out
fits ready for active service. The
extreme high stage of water the
past years has been unfavorable
for the shell diggers, and few fine
pearls have been obtained. The
wing-dams in the river have been
under water for three years. With
a low stage of water the pearl fish
ers expect to enjoy a prosperous
season. The price of shells are
high, owing to the floods on the
lower rivers, and stocks at the
many button factories are getting
low.

grounds last Saturday to the tune
of ID to 0. The visitors were out
classed in every way. The Platte
vile pitcher gave himself almost all
the support he got in the infield but
was unable to play the Outfield posi-
tiOns too. Lancaster's lineup was
much the same as last Saturday
except that Fiske Ranpaford played
right field part of the game and
Harry Basford held down" first
base. There was a larger attend
ance of students than in former
years and much enthusiasm was
shown. If the team is given the
support it deserves turnout the
season Lancaster will be in line for
the championship OF southwest Wis
consin.
The casts for the two class plays
have been selected and work on
them will be started very soon.
