BUSINESS NOVICE.

After October list, 1917, the
subscription price Of the Little
River News will be $3.50 per
wear instead of $100, the pres
ent price. As all our readers
are familiar with the conditions
existing for the past three years
no lengthy explanations OF TINS
step is necessary. 1t doesn [
take much figuring to tell What
will happen if you continue sell
inc your product for less than
cost. For the better part OF
Two years we have been paying
double the former cost of every
kind of material that goes to
make a paper. Your daily pa
per has raised his price, and ey-
en- the weeklies are advancing
to $50 and $500.
A twice-a-Week paper at Sl.oO
has always been a curiosity.
The News and one other are
the only ones we ever heard OF
that did it. 1t was poor busl-
ness and unjustified at any time
To maintain this price means to
quit or lower the standard OF
the paper. Neither of these
propositions is worthy Of con-
sideration nor desirable to you
or to us.
In order to be fair to our
readers and to allow both of us
a reasonable time for the
change, we will accept new sub
scriptions and renewals at ST.
90 up until October LIST. No
one Will be allowed to pay f0-
more than two years subscrlp-

rate will positively go into eff

do not delay your renewal.
We appreciate your patron
age and moral support of the
paper in the past. We are 60
ing to maintain the standard of
the paper, and improve it as
opportunity affords, that it may
be of more real service to you,
To do this and keep the price
down is as impossible as it is
for your grocer to keep down
the price of meat and flour and
stay in business. The farmer
gets a higher price for his cot
ton, and thus is able to meet the
higher cost of living and enjoy
some of the prosperity he reads
about. In one way or another
we are all adjusted or must adj
just ourselves to the new con-
ditiOnS.

CHANCES FOR PROMOTION
Opportunities TO Earn Commission
Given Enlisted Men.

Washington Aug. 28.-Enlisted men
of the National Army National
Guard and regular army will be given
opportunity to fit themselves for COM
missions. This is in line with the
policy of the government to take no
more officers or officera candidates
from civil life after the second series
of officers training camps, now in
progress, has been completed. All ad-
ditional officers needed will be found
in the ranks.
To carry out this plan it has prac-
tically been decided to establish an
officers school at each of the divis-
ional training camps. Men from the
ranks who show special qualifications
will be sent to these schools With
staffs of French and British officers
of experience on firing lines on duty
at each camp as advisers, an unusual
opportunity for lecture courses will
be presented.

"WHY JAIL SLACKERS AND LET
La TOILETTE TALK!-

TeXarkana, Aug. 28.-"We are in
the habit of thinking of the traitor
as a soldier who betrays his country
into the hands of the enemy, but there
are traitors in the departments of our
national activity than in the army and
navy; there are men who swore they
would defend the flag and be loyal to
their country who are doing much to
make loyalty and devotion on the part
Of our soldier boys very difficult" de-
clared the Rev. Philip Cone Fletcher
during the course Of special sermon
to the members of Company l, Second
Arkansas Regiment, and Motor Truck
Company No. 8. Third Arkansas Regi-
ment.
Il refer especially to Senator Rob
ert L. LaFollette, whose utterances
and writings are little short of trea-
son. Why throw young man in Jail
because he failed to register and yet
allow a United States Senator to ad-
wise the young manhood of the nation
against obeying the nations laws?
Why intern German editors in this
country and yet allow Senator LaFol-
lette to publish his paper every issue
of which breathes disloyalty? He de-
serves place with Benedict Arnold
and Bob Ford, to say nothing of Judas
Iscariot."
DIR. Fletcher brought a seven-fold
Indictment against Prussianism: l,
Pan-Germanism; 2. Turning loose the
dogs of war; 3, The invasion of inno-
cent, defenseless Belgium; 4, The mas
sacre of millions of Armenians: 5, The
deportation of thousands of Belgians
and French men and women; 6. The
ruthless submarine war on neutral
commerce; T. Filling the world with
intrigue, treachery and violence.
These will make black chapter in
the national life of Germany" the min
lister declared.

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel
up corns or caIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch .! 2! 2? ! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order a small bottle for you

MAKE WHEAT
PLANS NOW
Final Mass Meeting at Courthouse
Monday at 10 O'Clock
Bank at Foreman
Interested.

The man who would grow wheat
this fall in order that his own family
may have a dependent bread supply,
thus releasing more wheat to other
people and fastening victorious end
to the war should attend the meeting
at the courthouse Monday morning at
10 o'clock to make final arrangements.
This will likely be the last meeting as
the time is short until the seed should
be in the ground and the seed must
yet be bought Our banks have in the
past been ready to aid in any move Of
that kind, and we are quite sure that
they Will again be ready with their
cooperation. The Citizens Bank at
Foreman is planning to order a car
load of seed wheat for it's customers
and friends They are mailing out
letters to that effect. Since the letter
contains helpful information as we'll
as an illustration of how they feel
about it, we are going to reproduce it
here in full
The letter follows:
Dear Friend:
We stand ready to do our bit to-
wards helping our farmer friends and
feeding our soldier boys If we can
get a sufficient number of our GUS
toners and friends interested in grow
ing wheat, We will see that they are
furnished with good seed, and, if
necessary we will have car of SEED
WHEAT for distribution at seeding
time We want to see every land own
err II the territory sowing winter
Nho this season.
Cow wheat and have your own
flour. A short wheat crop and the
high price of -four make it imperative
that our farmers should produce at
least enough wheat for home use.
Don't be afraid of bumper crop pull
ing prices below the profit line-the
demand is too great, and the Food Bill
empowers the President to fix the min
imum price at $500 bushel. Every
bushel you raise will pay a profit
and do it's part to win the war.
The light sandy soils are not the
best wheat lands. Clay or gravelly
soils usually give the best results. The
Red May variety of wheat has par
ticularly good record. Select a fer
tile, we'll drained plot of land Pillow
it as soon as possible Get deep
thoroughly pulverized seed bed.
Sow September 18th to October goth
depending on weather conditions. Seed
at the rate of one and one-half bushels
per acre, If broadcasted, or one and
One-fourth if drilled. A liberal coat
ing of stable manure plowed under,
ought to insure a crop, and will be
found to be the best fertilizer one can
use. Grading is slow and hard, and
We would suggest that the community
growing small grain go ia together

years.
Will WHEAT PAY? Ask the many
farmers who produce from Is to 30
bushels per acre. They also get past
urage, save plant food by teaching,
get straw, roughage and more manure
If you or any of your friends are
interested in securing good seed
wheat, please come in and talk it over
with us, for we are anxious to have
our customers and friends SOW winter
wheat this season.
We are not asking a profit on the
SEED WHEAT. We will let our Gus
toners and friends have it at cost to
us.

Wearing Down Germans.

I'm Flanders the process ofwearing
down the Germans by continuous bonn
bardment continues. Air fighting and
continuous infantry raids are being
kept up and are having a far greater
effect than the man in the street real
ICES. This effect is shown in the con-
slant necessity imposed on the Ger
mans of withdrawing and replacing
units. The best way to illustrate this
is to refer to the battle of former
times in which, as the textbooks tell
us, the first part of the days battle
was an attempt by each side to draw
in and exhaust the enemy's reserves,
thus preparing for the second phase
of the day, namely, the decisive at

been another regrettable incident
namely, the voluntary withdrawal of
certain Russian units near Czernowizt.

The Mineral Point Fair, like all other
first class fairs. is educational in its
aims and in its results. 1t is a school
to which people, old and young, no mat
ter what their pursuits in life, may at
tend with profit. 1t appeals particularly
to those engaged in farming and kindred
pursuits, for it is the annual exhibit of
the products of the farm in ali its var
led departments. Southwestern Wis
consin is good farming territory, but
is noted particularly for its fine stock,
resulting from its splendid grasses and
pure water. than which no section Of
the United States can boast of better.
These facts, together with other win
ming features, not only make the Min
eral Point Fair popular, but insure its
being an educator. This year the fair
will be held August q to "a, inclusive
next week.
