Won Payer Speaks Frankly


 AMSTERDAM Oct 27.-In the course of speech in the reichstag on Thursday. the German vice chancellor, Friedrich von Payer, said the enemy's belief, and the assertion that the Ger man people were politically deprived of their rights, and were so oppressed, and dependent on small ruling circles, that it constituted Q constant danger for the peace of the entire world, had been the greatest hindrance to the at tainment of peace. This hindrance, he declared. had to be removed, and the government had instituted far reach ing internal reforms, which were long overdue
 On the previous day the vice chan cellor had said:
 We need confidence, not merely at home; We need the confidence of for eign countries, even the confidence of our enemies. For we want peace and we need it. Our enemies distrust our sincere intention to conclude a peace of justice. They mistrust us mainly on the ground of many events in the past, concerning which we cannot take it amiss of them, if they have certain doubts.
 we have, therefore, no use for any, one in the government who still favors peace of force more than peace of

JUNGLE AM'SA|D

A pathetic case of non-support came
to the attention of T. E. Bray last
week. Mr.. Bray is county chairman
for Home Relief, Red Cross. The an
plicant for aid was Mrs. Matte Han
ey, daughter of John kellogg, who lives
north OF town. Mrs. Haney has two
small children. Her husband, Steve
Haney, left her two years ago when
the family lived at Blue River. Since
then he has failed to provide for his
dependents. Investigating, Mrs. Han
ey found that Haney had enlisted a
year ago at Milwaukee and vas now
in France as a member of the 261st
Aero Squadron. At the time of en-
listment he gave his next-of-kin as
Mrs. Armenia Thomas of Louisville,
KY, a party unknown to the kellogg
or Haney families. Mr.. Bray has TAX
en- the matter up with the govern
ment to ecure support for Mrs. Han
ey and the children. Temporarily
she will be aided under the Mothers
Pension law.

SAVE COAL OR FREEZE

The local fuel administration adj
vises that the fuel situation remains
very grave. Unprecedented demands
have completely absorbed all excess
production. AS a result only the most
careful conservation can prevent a
famine next winter. Every manufac-
turing plant in the country will be
inspected regularly to see that no
wasteful firing methods are in vogue.
"Skip-stops" on electric roads will
save 1000, 900 tons. Consolidation of
ice plants will also effect a saving.
Unnecessary outdoor signs will be
reduced together with all useless IL
Elimination. Hotels and apartment
houses will not waste heat and light.
H%ouseholders must clean their fur
naces and stoves and study economic
firing.
The point is this:
If you, Mr.. Householder, can save
n ton of coal next winter, you a
keep so workmen from idleness. If
other h~ouseholders do what you do
the nation will save 200, ZOO, 900 tons
or O~ne-sixth Of its domestic produc-
ton the coming winter.
Is it worth it?

WHY WE FEATURE THE
BLUE PENCIL A r

No doubt it becomes somewhat tire
some to some subscribers to see week
'ly hints in regard to subscription
payment. The only answer we can
make is that when the subscriptions
are all in good standing it will no
longer be necessary to call attention
to arrears. By no means are all our
subscribers in arrears. In fact but
a small percentage and these are
mostly good pay who have neglected
to call through inattention or being
busy, etc.
The point is this:
We appreciate the patronage of ev-
cry subscriber and want to continue
sending the paper to each and every
n of you. The government, how
ever, is directing the papers to eff
feet every economy in print paper
and not to send papers unless they
are paid for. The only way we can
maintain our list intact and keep
square with war necessities is to
have every subscriber paid in adj
vance.
The governments tentative ruling
recommends:
An increase in the subscription
price of the paper, especially where
the price is less than So per year.
The diScOntinuance of all sub
ScriptiOnS that are not renewed
and paid up in advance at the
time the subscriptions expire.
The elimination of all free copies
except one to each advertiser.
The elimination Of all exchanges
except where the papers received in
exchange are absolutely essential to
the conduct of the paper.
The Herald wishes to and will
abide by the governments rule in ev-
cry particular. We also want to keep
every subscriber who really wants
our paper. If your date says: "1-1-18'"
it can you are paid to January Isl,
1918. If it says: "6-15-18" it means
that you are paid to June Is, 1918.
If the blue pencil mark appears it
means that you are paid to the date
shown on the tag which date is an
arrear.
In cas- you positively do not wish
TO take the paper please pay the
amount you owe to date. We do not
wish to lose your patronage but do
want to be perfectly fair with you.
All papers will stop when requested
providing arrears are paid.
Can we be any fairer? Will you not
give this matter your prompt atten-
ton?

and one sister, Matte Mrs. Throne)
also with her parents and whose hus-
band is in the country's service. Two
sisters and one brother preceded him
to the Better Land.
Dick had many friends who, with
the bereft family sorrow that they
shall see his face no more. He was
a likable boy, genial, free-hearted,
kind, with a love for little children
and a devotion to his mother that he
was not ashamed to. show and which
endeared him to all who knew him
best. His tender solicitude and fore
thought is manifest in the wise pro-
vision made for his mothers COM
fort and welfare in the event of his
not returning. And in the cheering
letters-the last written but four
days before his death-and alas! not
received until after tne fatal message
came. Not a word of approaching
conflict, of discomfort or fear was
mentioned. He wrote, Don't worry,
Mother, I'm we'll and feeling fine"
Then followed inquiries about home
and the crops and kindly messages
for Chris Garner and family with
whom he had spent some of his hap
piest years. He added, Tell all my
friends Hello for Dick" The moth
er heart is stricken sorely. Through
binding tears those letters are read
and re-read, and their value is not
now to be counted by any of the
worlds riches. None know ave those
whose loved one r in the struggle
how deeply the sword has
entered this mothers soul. Yet IN
her anguish she says, I'm proud of
my boy. If he had to go so young
I'm glad he could die for his coun-
try and freedom" And for that glor-
ious cause her boy has paid the last
full measure of devotion. But the
price is high-so high! Greater love
hath no man than this: that he lay
down his life for others.
Somewhere in France" the dear
dust lies sleeping. But Dick the SOL
der has passed on into the larger
life-his soul in Jesus hands,
"Sleep oh sleep, where sunbeams are
lying.
One trod before you that darksone
Rest. oh rest, where low winds are
signing,
Safe in His keeping, His own Away"
