Notice to Subscribers.

After January 1st the price OF
the Independent will be 5000.
The publisher now sees that it is
impossible to run the paper ut
81. so year, not alone to make it
pay at that price, but to make
ends meet. 1t is either $500 a
year or cease publication, and we
will try the increase in price.
Those who pay up before January
1st will pay the old price of $l.50,
but after January 1st the price
will be $500. Everything that
one needs in the shop and home
has more than doubled in price
and if the publisher. should want
to come out as formerly, the price
of his paper would have to be not
$500, but at least So. 90 per year.
Every newspaper in this state as
we'll as other states has raised the
price. We urge our subscribers
to take advantage of the old price
before January 1st.

Interesting Letters from Our
Soldier Boys.

Dear Mr.. Dvorak:
/ thot l would wlite to you and
let you know how we are all gett-
ing along here. We all feel pref
ty good. Few of the boys are
down with the measles but amt
bad yet and quite a few down with
pneumonia and four Of them died.
Had little snow here Wednesday
but didn't stay long. l suppose
all you people out there had big
dinner On Thanksgiving day but
not to brag about it. / think we
had the world beat on the feed
here. / hope l live long enough
to eat one more meal like that we
had. Enough turkey to make two
meals; all kinds Of fruit, salads,
cakes and pies Of all kinds. There
were 125 Of the boys invited for
dinner all over the country but we
stayed home and had it all over
some of them as lots of them had
to pay their way back and hungry
on top of it, but all we did we ate
our dinner and went to bed Old
man Harrigle of Yankton is visit
ing his son Roy for over two
weeks and intends to stay till we
leave for France which wont be
long. Most of the people here
treat us pretty good. / like the
country pretty good, but the
prices are so high that if a man
wants to buy something why all
he has to do is to look at it and 90
again. One egg here costs only
| 10 cents so you all can figure out
what an egg sandwich costs. The
old pond out here looks pretty
fierce on a windy day. We aren't
doing very much today only paint
ing all of the barracks bags SO we
will be fully equipped by tonight
so we will spend our Christmas in
France. | wish you all Merry
Christmas and a happy New Year

Bye.

Jock Hutchinson pounded out a well
earned victory in tho national oper
patriotic tournament held at the
whitemarsh Valley Country Club Of
Philadelphia Thursday. Friday and Sat
urday Of the past week The blond
Scot from North Berwick proved his
superiority to the rest OF the neld
quite conclusively. leading his nearest
rival, tho steady Tom Mcnamara OF
TapIow, by seven shots. Hutchinson
has made a record worth considering
in golf for the past two years. Last
year he was runner-up to Chick Evans
in the open championship. shooting q
great score OF IS in his last round, to
finish two shots behind the flying
Edgewater boy. He was runner-up tc
Jim Barnes in the professional golfers
tournament, the latter sinking Ave-
foot putt on tho final green to beat
Hutchinson. This year he has set the
pace by annexing the open tournament
equal to tho championship. even with
Gil Nichols OF Great Neck and Walter
Hagen OF Rochester missing. The lat
ter sent in his entry day late and
asked to be allowed to play thirty SIX
holes tho second day in order to catch
up with the field. but this the pro.
did not agree to, and he was not al
lowed to play. Nichols may be crit.
icised for his failure to enter, and
probably will be. but the fact remains
that the class Of the field which Hutch.
inson led was not the slightest bit be-
hind that OF other years. with the ex-
ception OF the fact that no prominent
amateurs competed.
