NEwPAPER MEN ARE LOYAL

"Shop closed; editor gone to lick
the Huns"
The foregoing notation made by
Postmaster l.. l.. Woolverton on a
letter from the Central Liberty Loan
Committee addressed to the Record
at Redrock, Okla, indicates many
newspaper men Of the Tenth Federal
Reserve District are suspending pub
lication for the duration Of the war
and are going into the military serv-
ice.
No finer spirit of American loyalty
is to be seen anywhere than among
the editors and newspaper workers of
the States included in the Tenth Fed
eral Reserve District. While a vast
majority Of these patriots are dis
qualified for military service and
must remain to keep the home fires
burning, it is estimated that as many
as 200 editors of weekly newspapers
have closed their shops temporarily
and are now in the trenches or on the
way there. Other newspapers, while
not ceasing publication, have reduced
their forces to the minimum in order
to release editors, writers, printers
and solicitors for military service. On
the whole the newspapers are we'll
represented among the American
forces over there and the people back
home are proud of them.
But those who have not gone off to
fight the Huns are doing some good
fighting by rendering first aid to the
Liberty Loan organizations in the
campaigns for subscriptions to the
Liberty Loans. This, after all, is
about as important as fighting in the
trenches. Money is necessary to buy
the equipments, the powder and shells
and the food to sustain the men in ac-
ton.
In the Fourth Liberty Loan CAM
paign the press Of the Tenth District
may be depended upon to do big
share of the publicity work necessary
for success.
The newspapers, however, have
been hit hard by the war and editors
and publishers haye their troubles.
We bespeak for them, therefore, a
hearty and substantial support by the
people during these trying times, and
urge our local Liberty Loan organ
izations to cooperate with them in
every way possible. Liberty
Loan Bulletin.

A CURE FOR THE BLUES

"Carolyn of the Corners" which
we have arranged to publish as a
serial story, beginning in an early
issue Of The Herald, is an unusual
story. It is honey, gentle, common
sense story Of every day life, but it is
intensely interesting at the same
time. The heroine Of the story is a
loveable little girl who not only
preached but practiced the gospel Of
looking up" and always making
things "a wee bit better" To be-
come acquainted with her is like let
ting in the sunshine and looking up
at the blue sky.
But there are also episodes in the
story that rival the "thrillers" of the
screen. There is both humor and
pathos in it and real story that is
very effectively told by the author,
Ruth Belmore Endicott.
Watch for the first installment of
this story in an early, issue.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING

Equal Guardianship nine out
of eleven suffrage states, mothers and
fathers have been made equal guar
dians of their children. In twenty
five male suffrage states the father
is sole guardian. In three male suf-
frage states he can will or deed away
the child without the mothers con
sent.
Age of Consent.-In nine out of
eleven suffrage states the age of con-
sent has already been raised to eigh-
teen years. In only eight male suf-
frage states is it unqualifiedly eigh-
teen. In two it is as low as ten
years.
Commercialized Vice.--In nine out
of eleven suffrage states the Red Light
Abatemest and Injunction Act al
ready exists. In only eighteen Of the
thirty-six male suffrage states is this
law-the most effective law against
this great evil-yet on the statute
books.
Eight-Hour-Day for Working Wo-
men.-In six out of eleven suffrage
states, and in specified industries in
two others, this law already exists.
Not one male suffrage state has this
law for women, although almost all
have eight-hour laws for men in pub
lie service and in specified trades.
Widowed Mothers Pensions.--ln all
but one of the suffrage states these
are already in force. In scarcely
more than one-third Of the male suf-
frage states does this law exist.

The following letters from Pvt.

friends. He was last employed at the

Dear Sister:

this morning to find out how you are
by, this time. hope you are fine and
dandy. ! can't complain myself at
all, except to- get out of the hospital.
and think I will now 'toot sweet ("
but the r'tocter the sweeter for me.
CToot sweet means real soon" in

Well Maude my wounds are coming
fine. My leg where they operated on
it is little sore but it Is healing fast.
My ankle and foot, the ones l thought
were the worst, are healed up.
told you how got them. The one in
my leg and ankle are machine gun
bullets. When ! got them l sat
down to dress or bandage them up
with my first aid pouch, when a big
husky Boche tried to stab me with
a trench knife, and he nearly sue
ceeded, too near for my comfort. In
wrestling | had pistol and all he had
was knife, but was crippled and he
was not. l could hardly stand up to
tussle with him. In the wrestle /
pulled the trigger of my pistol and
he knocked my arm and it went
square through my left foot, the
same leg that was wounded, then
that sure hurt. l said goodbye to
myself, but made up my mind that
one German Devil was going with me
but as he drew back to run knife in
me, shot. l didn't get him through
the foot either. That is the way they
like to fight; pick on cripples. There
are several more going to pay me a
little debt when l get back, too.
When ! was hit in the ankle and leg
It felt like pin stuck me, but my
Neg quit working and looked and saw
the blood coming. When l sat down
to fix it up to 20 to the first aid
station, bullets were just moving the
grass like hail storm and shells
bursting. couldn't hear myself
think. thought l was going to get
about nine million more through me.
shook hands with myself and said
goodbye. After our scrap was over
l didn't know any more. Everything
got black as night. When l woke up
/ was in an ambulance, going about
sixty miles per hour.
Oh, fellow that likes excitement
can sure get it all right there. l
never imagined a fellow could 60
through bullets like some did and not
get hit at all. It's just like a hail
storm. But they don't scare the
Americans q bit. The Germans have
found that out to their sorrow.
Well Maude I haven't got any mail
yet except a letter from my company
clerk, saying that you were notified
about me being hurt, but he didn't
know to what extent. Well Maude
this is all know Of for now, so I'll
close for now, Good-by,
Your loving brother,
