birthday in the following fashion
With this issue the Independent
enters upon it's 5th year. It's not
old enough to join the mems bible
class but quite out Of the primary
grade. 1t hasn't made enough
money to buy any great amount Of
Liberty Bonds but its editor can
occasionally afford potatoes and
meatless days are not too frequent.
1t hasn't reformed the world yet
for the farmers are still joining
the Non-Partisan League. 1t feels
it has plenty of work ahead and
will continue TO express its own
opinions whether anyone else shares
them or not The thing the Indep-
endent feels prQudest Of is the fact
that it has held its subscribers al
most without a change from the
first issue and it feels that if they
have stood it this long they are
immune from any attack of quits.
If our subscribers will exercise the
same forbearence in the future
which they have in the past we
will try to complete the volume
and have another birthday next
year.
