Several have asked US the question

question, what il cost us to make
the California fair trip? Tue editor
has no secrets to keep from his sub
scribers where it might be of legiti-
mate interest to them, so we don't
hesitate 10 take them into confidence
on this matter. We figured it would
take 1925 to make such trip before
going. When we got ready to go,
could only marshall 1920 and we
went and saw pretty well all the
sights; in fact had opportunities to
see far more than could take IN,
had practically all of the moderate
comforts of travel most Of the time
and some of the Injuries. Ia fact
we did not suffer though we some
times skipped a meal. The above
amount was not apiece, but carried
us both (the editor and wife) through
the trip. We enjoyed about SO
worth of courtesies VIII lie with our
party and could have had more had
we gotten with them earlier. stayed
closer and remained with them Ion
ger, but preferred free hand most
of the time. We would not advise
one without some experience in trav-
ell 10 attempt such trip on so close a
margin. but it can be done bv care

Sheriff ]. f. Green requests US to
state that he will have special dep
uty at each voting box to enforce
the law forbidding the giving away
or use IN any way of intoxicating
liquors during the coming primary
election law. The duty of these Off
GERS will not interfere with that of
the Election Peace Officers, whose
function is something like that of a
court bailitf; to see that the voting
room is not interfered with in any
unlawful manner. The Herald does
believe that much liquors have been
used in our election in late years,
but does not question that some of it
has been used, and we trust that all
citizens having the best interest of
government at heart will cooperate
to see that its entirely shut out this
time, and that this notice of the
sheriff's intention to enforce the law
in this respect may deter those dlspo-
sed to employ wet goods to help out
the cause of any candidate if there be
any such in our county at this time.

The late period of fighting has been marked by savaeiy on the part of the Germans hitherto unparl- elled on the western front
 During the many assaults hurled against the allied lines the Germans suffered terrible losses from the ma chine guns and small detachments were frequently annihilated. After the
