we are printing the aDoVe so ina.
Our readers may understand the Or
ders of the war board. We can not
help remarking, however, that we
think the government should set the
example of saving in paper. If every
other newspapers in the country gets
j, as many circulars as We. do every day
there is no telling how much good
paper is wasted by thes.departments~
in sending out matter that is useless
and never read. But the watchword
now is loyalty and we have always
tried to be loyal and will observe
i the rules as best we can and in order
to do so we ask the cooperation of all
subscribers and all others. Several
Of our exchanges have already cut
US off and we will follow suit though
We hate to part with their regular
visits.
Then the order is to take off all
free papers and this will have to be
done also We do not lave as many
on that list as once was on our mail
ING list. They will have to go also
, to comply with the rulings and order
! of the war board.
Another important order is that no
papers must be sent to subscribers
that are not paid for in advance. We
had already adopted that rule and at
the price we are sending the paper
no one should object to paying for it
in advance. For the last two or
three months we have been so short
of help and had SO much. to. do that
we have really neglected our mail
ing list and have not corrected it for
several months. We have now made
the corrections and given the credits
as best we can and on the 18th Of
this month all who have not paid for
the paper will be taken off. We will
endeavor to send statement of the
time of expiration and if we do not
hear from you by the 10Th we will
have to part company. We have no
further discretion in the matter. We
no doubt have made some mistakes
in giving credit If so we will be
pleased to make the correction If you
will let US know. But the order for
cash in advance from the war board
is imperative and while we have been
trying to keep our list on that basis
we have not done so absolutely on
account of being unable to get the
list corrected promptly, but it shall
be our purpose to correct it every
week from this on. We would be
pleased to have all our subscribers
remain, but If they do not pay we
will have to take them off. Do not
delay if you do not want to miss any
papers.

A DULL PUPIL

We are afraid that the editor of the
Columbia Record is either very dull
pupil or an obstinate one in the
school of journalistic ethics.
Some time ago we took occasion
to give the young man some gocH
advice and to remind him that he had
great deal to learn. He replied
and admitted that our advice was
good and sound, and then proceeded
to ask a question or two which We
promptly answered and then asked
him one or two questions which he
ignored. That is all right We are
not talking about that now, because
it is too late to have reply, but it is
evidence that the young man had
placed himself in hole from which
he could not extricate himself, and
silence was the better part of yalo:
and wisdom. But that is all apart
now.
Ina recen issue he perpetrates the
following, which we imagine he
thinks is very fine sarcam or ridicule
or something very smart. Ridicule OF
a very dangerous weapon. It some
times kicks.

We could retaliate by putting over
something like that, but we will not,
except for illustration, because it is
neither smart nor manly to do it.

As a mother grows old. her hope

personal claims to the general good
But only the mother heart knows
what the struggle is.
For years, when these War Mothers

work and self-denial, with the faith
that a precious reward awaited them
at the end OF their days. that their sons
