To Our Subscribers.

We are Sending out statements OF
subscription account this month to every
subscriber not paid in advance, with the
request that advance payments be made.
We are making an effort to place our
subscription list entirely on a cash in
advance basis, which will enable us to
improve the paper still more, and keep
accounts in businesslike manner.
There is no reason why subscriptions
should not be paid in advance, and we
know that all our patrons will be better
pleased if they get in the habit of paying
in advance. Besides, the government
laws require that subscribers shall not
owe for more than year. Many re-
plies are being received daily to the
statements, and we appreciate kindly ex-
pressions very much One from South
Dakota says, Enclosed find draft for
$3.50. Many thanks for the best county
paper that is issued" and other good
natured remarks. Nearly all say a good
word for PUBLIC OPINION.
In this connection we wish to call our
subscribers attention to the little yellow
address tag stamped each week on the
upper left corner OF the front page of
your paper. This tells you the month
and year to which your paper is paid for.
Now it should read 1914. You can al
ways tell whether you are in arrears or
not by CHANGING at this tag.

HOSPITAL FUND GROWING.
subscriptions to Fund Increases
Slowly. Everybody Should Con-
tribute.

Although there have been no large
subscriptions to the hospital fund during
the past week, yet many small amounts
have been received, and the fund is
slowly but surely advancing. As we go
to press the amount is 20.30000.
With nearly five thousand dollars yet
to be raised, it is earnestly hoped that
everybody will contribute as literally
as they can afford to this, the most
worthy project the business men of De-
corah have undertaken since the build
ing of the Winneshiek Hotel. An ex-
ceptional opportunity is presented in the
proposition now before the people, and
it would be disgrace both to DEBORAH
and all of Winneshiek county to fail
The first subscriptions were large and
the fund grew rapidly, but from now on
the progress will be slower, unless more
hearted and well-to-do people
come forward as they ought 10 do with
large contributions.
The committee has as yet been unable
to make thorough canvass, and this
ought not to be necessary. Do not
wait for them to call on you. Hand in
your subscription, and make it a good
one, for the hospital needs all you can
give.

Home From synod Meetings.

The delegates from Winneshiek coun-
ty to the annual church meetings of the
Norwegian Lutheran Synod at Minnea-
polls and the United Norwegian LII
fheran Church at ST. Paul arrived home
during the past few days. The matter
of union of the Synod, United Church,
and Hauge Synod organizations was the
principaltopic of discussion of the meet
ing. This matter has been left in the
hands of committees, representing the
different church organizations, with
authority to consider the question of
what can be done to further final union.
AT least it is question that will take
some years to decide, and will be finally
determined by a referendum of the
churches. Other general church matters
which were determined were reported in
these columns last week. The Synod
will meet in Sioux Falls, S. D., next
year and in San Francisco in 1915. The
United Church will meet at Fargo, n.
d., next year.
