Notice to Subscribers

The postoffice department at Wash
ington has recently ruled that news
paper publishers will not be entitled
to enjoy the pound rate of postage on
papers over a year in arrears; in other
words, publishers will be compelled to
affix one-cent stamp TO each paper
over year in arrears. This would
cost 81 cents year postage for each
copy. Not a newspaper in the coun-
try can stand that financial drain. 1t
would mean that The Herald would
be sold for SO cents year. The onlv
alternative a publisher has is to drop

BIRTH OF A NEW PARTY.

After the Republican National con-
vention in Chicago many of the lead
ers predicted that the party was doom
ed. With the birth of the Progressive
party in the same city the split has
come which probably means a Demo-
cratic victory ulies5 great changes
syerve the votes of the people. Tt e
badges of the progressive party in the
convention bore the faces of Washing
ton, Jeffries and Lincoln and the spirit
was progressive, such as has been
preached by La Toilette in Wisconsin
for years. The progressive ticket is
headed by former President Theodore
Roosevelt of New York and Governor
Hiram w. johnson of Californi !.
The former will speak in the west and
the latter in the east. Revise the
tariff downward, reduce the cost OF
| living, industrial insurance, recall of
judicial decisions, minimum wage
scale, primary elections, votes for
| women and other topics will be dis
cussed in the campaign. The party
stands for these. Taft and Sherman
are the Republican candidates and
Wilson and Marshall are the Demo
cratic leaders. The fight is now on
and the whole question must be set
tied by the votes of the people. Many
believe that the split in the RepubIi-
can party means the downfall of the
reactionaries and a victory for the Pro
gressives in four years. The field of
politics is always uncertain and with
the election many weeks away the un-
uncertainty is all the more uncertain,
however, and no one can positively
tell who will nail the banner the high
est on the staff of victory.

FARM BOYS AND PARENTS

Every once in while and sometimes
oftener than that, find some farmer
wondering why the boy wants to leave
the farm. Why wonder? Especially
when you know that the boy knows
that you really want to do the same
thing as soon as you have saved up
enough money to do it in the way that
you want to do. Is it not fact that too
many of you, by your daily lives and
examples, are teaching him that the
farm is!onIy place on which to work
hard and to live harder? And for
what? To make money enough to
move into town after you are too old
to enjoy things and when your spend
ing muscles have been paralyzed by
years of inaction and disuse. -
If your daily lives are along those
lines, do not be surprised if your boy
beats you into town by several years.
And it may be that it will require
years of tramping over the pavements
of the city before he realizes that after
all the plowed ground was easiest on his
corns and conscience-and far better for
his comfort. 1t is up to you to keep the
boy on the farm. How? By teaching
him, both by precept and example,
that the farm is not merely place to
work and win wealth, by the sacrifice
of many pleasures.
But to teach him that the farm is
the best place God ever invented on
which to live broad, Tree, efficient,
serviceable, helpful, healthy, human
lives. Thousands and thousands of
such lives have been lived on the farm.
Thousands and thousands of such
lives are being lived today upon the
farm, out in the open of Gods sun
shine. And it is because of this fact,
in large degree, that this country is
great and good-and growing better.

REASONS FOR ADVANCED COST.
With cattle selling in Chicago above
the ten dollar mark, the cost of living
grows apace. A Chicago packer gives
reasons for the advance as follows:
Increasing population due to immi-
grafton.
Crowding of people into the cities.
Great increase of consumers as op-
posed to producers.
Opening by congress of western
breeding and grazing lands to settle
ment.
Abandonment of cattle raising in
corn growing states, with consequent
loss of land to cattle.
Selling of calves for slaughter by the
dairymen.

1. Fresh air day and night.
2. Daily exercise.
3. Moderation in eating and drink
ing.
4. One hot bath weekly and cold
one daily.
5. Comfortably and not over heavy
clothing.
6. A dry, spacious and sunny
dwelling.
Z. Scrupulous cleanliness.
8. Regular and intensive work
which acts as preventive against ills
of body and mind.
g. Rest after labor must not be
sought in distractions. Night was in
tended for sleep.
10. The chief condition for good
healthtis life fruitful in labor and
enobled by good actions.
Beyond the days of Greece and
Rome, beyond the building of the
Pyramids in Egypt, back to the
Ayrian race and possibly before, men
and women worked. There is joy in
labor and Tolstoi has wisely included
it in his maxims. Air and sunshine.
