Notice to Subscribers.

With the beginning Of the yea
| 1917 the subscription price of tn,
Herald-Advance will be $3.50 in
stead OF 81 90 a year as it has bee,
for several years past. With pres
ent price Of paper, ink and print
ing material it is impossible t,
continue the publication Of tn,
paper on paying basis at tn,
LOO rate. Even under the cheape
prices OF material in former year
the 81 a year subscription wa
barely a profitable proposition fo,
the country newspaper man, anc
under present conditions it is ar
absolutely losing game. The
publisher who adopts or con.
tinues in this losing game must
either fill in his subscription
account from other sources of in
come or tail to pay his debts.
Our other sources Of income are
too limited to permit us to adopt
the first course, and we have both
business and moral scruples against
the second alternative nor do we
believe the people of Milbank and
Grant county desire that their
newspapers, which are called upon
many times to represent or
champion them and their interests.
should bear the dead beat stigma.
The newspaper that fails t, paw its
legitimate debts makes poor
champion for any cause or any
community The editor of the
country newspaper ought to be able
to go down the street with his chin
as high up as any other business
man Of the town. To do this he
must have legitimate profit on
his work.
That the increased prices Of
printing material are not fgment
of the editor S imagination we refer
themto an article in the Minneapolis
Journal Of the oath inst, which
states that the book and job print
ers OF Chicago have been compell-
ed to MAKE flat advance of 30 per
cent in their prices, and the article
states that there is an increase in
paper from 30 to lO0per cent, inks
100 to 800 per cent, type material,
rollers, &c, 80 to so per cent.
In making the change in
subscription we will give an
opportunity to any Of our subscrib-
ers who wish to pay up for the
coming ysar to do so at the old
rate Of 81, if paid by January lst.
Step in or send the 81 during
the present month and get next
year s subscription for 81.

Attorney A. 3. kaercher, Of
Ortonville. was Milbank visitor
Monday at the home Of his brother
the miller. Mr.. kaercher is
greatly interested in the scheme to
make reservoirs of lake Big Stone
and Traverse for control Of the
river floods, and at recent meet
ing OF delegates from the states of
North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Minnesota he was elected pres
ldent OF permanent orga MIA
ton, the other officers being A. /.
Hunter of Grand Forks, treasurer
II. +. Emery Of Fargo, vice pres
ident }. 2. Hardy Of Fargo,
secretary.
In working out the reservoir
plan it was suggested to build one
big reservoir out of Lakes Trave rse
and Big Stone This would re-
qulre the construction Of canal
between the two lakes at an estimat-
ed cost Of 5000, 900.
The plan also provides for a
canal from the Ottertail river to
Lake Traverse, emptying that
stream into the reservoir. Another
reservoir would be established
at Lac qui Parle lake to care for
the waters of the Minnesota river.
The reservoir at Lake Traverse and
Big Stone would care for all the
waters Of the Bois de Sioux river.
The purpose Of these reservoirs
will be to control the head waters
of both the Red river and the
Minnesota river at the flood period.

Wear Becoming Styles

Becoming lines are not in the least
difficult to obtain. There are the
most beautiful models from which to
choose and there are costumes that in
every way add to the grace as well as
to the dignity of life. A very beautiful
gown exploited by one of our leading
designers makes a good example. 1t
is simplicity itself, it is dignihed in cut
and in color and it seems to have every
condition to commend it. The ma
terial is wood brown chiffon, with
printed design of flowers scattered
over its surface and these flowers show
dainty pastel shades of pink and Of
green. The skirt consists of front
panel, -7ithout trimming that is laid
in box plat with three, single, plaits
at each side. At the sides and back
it is straight and gathered, amply full
finished with wide hem at the lower
edge, and trimmed with three narrow
ruff1es each gathered to form its own
heading and each with picot edges,
These ruffles are arranged one at
about knee depth and two above
giving the broad hip effect that is
smart. The bodice is in the simple
kimono style that is always beconl-
ing and always graceful and 1t
is one of the. best ever offered
for thin materials. The fronts lap
slightly as they meet the deep
girdle and so forms moderately
deep v. The sleeves are in three
quarter length. they are edged with
little ruffles like those upon the skirt
and there is ruffle of graduated
width that finishes the front and neck
edges. 1t is narrow at the girdle and
it is wide enough to give something
the effect Of collar at the back Of the
neck. Soft creamy lace is arranged
within the V-shaped opening and a
girdle of brown ribbon finishes the
waist line. 1t would be hard to find
a costume OF better lines or Of more
graceful effect and it could Of course.
Be reproduced in lighter and brighter
color for the younger contingent.
The dressy afternoon gown and the
gown that can be worn to the res
taurant dinner and for all such &C.
casions takes an important place An
exquisite one of lighter coloring and
