NO NEWS FROM SOLDIER.
Means That He is All Right, As No
News is Good News.

Although the failure to receive
letters from men in the service is not
pleasant to relatives and friends at
home the adage mo news is good
news" never was more true than at
present. The report of every casualty
at home or abroad is imediately wir-
ed or cabled to officials at Washing
ton, being relayed from there with
out loss of time to the emergency
address of the soldier or sailor affect
ed. Il is also at once released for pub
o. casualties has or will be held up.
No man in the service has received
orders not to write home he has
been urged, on the contrary, to keep
in touch with relatives and friends.
The forces in France have at their
disposal post cards giving general
information in regard to health and
the receipt of letters and parcels,
which may be dispatched without
payment of postage.
Care is also taken to see that mail
intended for soldiers and sailors rea-
ches them promptly. Where the regi-
ment AID company designation of
a soldier is not known it may be Sc
cured by application to The Adju
tant Generals Office, Washington, |
D. c. In one week l,674 letters with
insufficient addresses were received
at this office. On 1882 the addresses
were completed and they were for
warded, 1913 were returned to send
ers, So went to the dead letter Office
because senders' addresses were not
given, and the balance were held with
the view that the addresses might be |
later.

Why Warn of law?

Many newspapers contain long
lists of names of farmers who pro-
hibit hunting on their premises. This
is needless expense as the law i'm
poses fine not to exceed $40 for
hunting on any cultivated or enclosed
land. 1t provides for Jail sentence
unless the fine is paid. The farmers
are showing their generosity in Civ
ing ample warning, but it is a prac-
tice hardly in accord with public
policy. Laws have come to be disre-
garded except where crusades are
started to enforce them and the prac-
tice of giving notice of enforcement
is apt to increase the security people
feel in violating laws where notice of
proposed enforcement has not been
specifically given.-Anamosa Jour

Worlds Smallest Newspaper staff


The newspaper with the smallest
staff in the world, but with a substan-
tial income, is the Kalorikmik OF
Gadthaab in Greenland, a spot which,
besides literature, produces little but
seals anb turnips, the latter only in
mild summer. The Kalorikmik is
published monthly by a Mr.. Moller,
who composes, prints, edits, sells and
distributes it with his own head and
hands. 1t costs a chicken for single
number, the quarterly subscription a
whole duck, while whole years is
sue may be had for a martens skin
payable in advance. The subscribers
are mostly EsquimauX, who read the
Kalorikmik aloud to their greasy
spouses, while the latter are busy
licking their children's faces clean
and chewing sealskin soft for new
pair of boots after the evening meal
of seal and coffee.

URGE PEOPLE TO BUY TO KEEP

Washington, June 2S-(By Union
Associated Press) - Representatives
of several of the largest industries OF
the country are here to participate in
conferences today which will result in
a campaign to teach the people OF the
nation how to practice the right kind
Of economy during the war. 1t is
pointed out that the worst thing that
could happen to the world right now
would be business depression in the
United States. The way to keep the
wheels Of industry turning is for the
people to buy and use the merchan-
disc produced. Business cannot grow
and remain healthful unless the whole
people buy as usual and keep money
in circulation. America has II in her

as being very proud Of the record set
by the local organization.
Battery C, is the first organization
in the state to be recruited to full
war strength. The First Regiment,
which went to the Mexican border, is
not even up to war strength at the
present time. The other Batteries OF
the Regiment of Artillery are appar-
emily finding it rather hard work to
recruit the necessary men to get their
organizations up to one hundred and
ninety men.
This Battery was the first to begin
organization last Fall. Because OF the
rush of the cotton season much effort
could not be devoted to it by the Of
ficers. Battery A., was organized at
Water Valley and mustered in prior to
the organization of the Battery here.
Battery B., was organized and muster
ed in at jackson just before this organ.
ization was completed and mustered
in, Both of the above organizations
were quicker on the getaway than the
local Battery, but after war was de,
clared and it became apparent that
actual service would be seen by the
units of the Mississippi. National
