''SHOP' TALK

The News.Herald doesn't otter
use space to talk shop. to its
readers, but a situation hal
arisen which requires to bt
talked over.
The government War Indus
tries Board is going to require
each newspaper, beginning Sep
tember 18th, to reduce the
amount of print paper used each
month for twelve months, fifteer
per cent below the amount used
in the corresponding month a
year previous.
1t is said that this order is
necessary on account of fuel
shortage-that the paper mills
will be curtailed in consumption
OF coal and their output of paper
for the coming year will neces-
sarily be reduced fifteen per cent.
And the Industries Board has de-
cided to pass this along to the
newspapers.
The News Herald is heart and
soul for the successful prosecu-
tion of the war, and will cheer
fully submit to hardships and f.
naucial loss in order to aid the
government.
But a newspaper is not quite
like an ordinary business enter
prise, 1t is in a quasi sense a
public utility, and hence when
its ability to serve its readers is
curtailed, it becomes a broader
question than merely one of f.
nancial loss and hardship to the
publisher.
The question Immediately |
how is the reduction to be
1t isn't an elastic problem.
There are absolutely but two
ways in which it can be done:
Smaller papers must be printed,
or fewer papers must be printed.
A council of publishers with
Cne government ADMINISTRATOR
was held in Chicago a few days
ago, and various wise suggestions
were made as to how to do it.
For example:
Cut off all free copies to
mother, grandmother, or any,
body else.
Cut off unnecessary exchanges.
Cut off all subscribers who do
not pay in advance.
Raise the price of $3.50 papers
to 81, which would automatically
reduce the circulation.
Cut out all unnecessary read
ng matter, and reduce the size
If the paper, etc., etc.
But you see it all amounts to
he same thing, as stated above
print a smaller paper, or print
ever papers.
This is a real difficulty, and we
IAN see no agreeable way out"
We will be glad of suggestions
rom our readers.

To whom it may concern:
That Mr.. Dudley D. Smith was
one of the assessors in Dewitt

vision while was County Treas
urer and ex-officio supervisor Of

His work was entirely satisfac-
tory and l believe him to be

take great pleasure in recon-
mending him.
Respectfully,

10 whom 1t may concern:
This is to certify that | have
been intimately acquainted with
Dudley D, Smith of Estancia,

six years. Mr.. Smith was for
merly resident of Dewitt coun-
ty. He occupied the position of
assessor for several terms in
this county, and if there were
any complaints about bis way of
handling the business | never
heard of it. | do not believe
there were any. In my judg-
ment Mr.. Smith is very well
qualified to fill the position, is
kind and courteous, is a splendid

SOLDIER LETTER

Following are extracts from /;
letter written from somewhere
J in France by Herbert White t,
his mother, Mrs. Ben Young
and dated July 18th:
Arrived here all O. K. anc
am well and happy, but a little
bit lonesome. We were all glao
to get here, but sorry to see the
sights that are to be seen here
Old men, young boys and women
are all that are left in this place
The small children are wearing
rags and wooden shoes and beg
ging US for a penny or nickel as
We march along the road. Old
women are working in the fields,
and old women come to camp
selling such sweets and dainties
as soldiers will buy. They stand
here in camp and sell whatever
they can. 1t is raining now, and
they are out in the rain. The
little they earn in this way helps
them to exist.
'Cripples are rather plentiful
too, here. 1t is awful to see
them.
II don't know how long we
will stay at this place, but |
think not long.
l am all right, and you need
not worry about me. | shall re-
member your teaching.
When one looks at these peo-
pie here and considers the condi-
ton they are in, it brings the
thought, What if our own folks
were in their shoes?'
"As we marched out here
from the ship we stopped to rest
few minutes in the town. Five
or six little French girls four to
six years old, none larger than
Frances, came out in the lines
and sang,
Hail, hail, hail the Yanks
are here!
Hail. hail, the Yanks, the
Yanks are here!
What the hell do we care
noW?'
They sang it for the money
that would be given them, and
they got quite bit.
"On my way here | gave the
every cent | had. Their
dads are in the front line trench
es, or dead, or in a hospital Grip
pied. When l look at these chill
dren l sure think of my own
girls.
Here men can be seen read
ing their little pocket Bibles who
| don't suppose ever read one
before, or at least not much of
late years.
"The Red Triangle Y. M. C. A.
is sure a home for US boys over
here. | don't know what we
would do without them. Of
course, l know we would get
along somehow, but they are
sure nice and handy and home
ike. l appreciate them and
don't begrudge the hicks | gave
them.
The soldiers here are not bad
or wild, or smart alecks'. Most
IF them are much what their
mothers would like them to be.
Dur captain talks to us about
now we should conduct ourselves.
He said to US, For Gods sake,
nen, treat these French people
as you would your own mothers,
sisters and sweethearts, or as
you would like to have them
.reated.'

K. c. DRIVE

The Knights of Columbus, VIII,
with the Y. M. C. A, have beet
recognized by the government al
the official agencies to do recre
ational and welfare work among
our soldiers as we'll as to furnish
our soldiers with their spiritua
needs, will shortly start a big
drive for funds.
AS is we'll known the K. of G..
have been in the field since the
beginning of the war and their
work has received high COM
mendation on every hand. Their
buildings are to be seen at every
cantonment and training camp.
The Y. M. c. A. and the K. c..
are closely and systematically
cooperating with each other,
duplicating no effort, but cover
ing the field between them.
Torrance county's quota is
$4,000, and Estancia's proper
tion is $400. The drive will begin
in New Mexico on the 26th, inst,
and it is hoped that all will do
their best for this good cause.
In a communication of the
state deputy for New Mexico, E.
P. Davies, he states
Our citizens have given lib
orally toward the Y. M, G.. A.
Red Cross, Salvation Army and
other organizations that are do
ing war work. Doubtlessly every
person who reads knows tnat the
Knights of Columbus war work
is second to no other organiza-
ton in the field. The knights
of Columbus have already spent
seven million dollars during the
past year in carrying on this war
work, and we expect to spend at
least FIFTY MILLION DOL.
LARS within the next twelve
month. We will soon have two
thousand secretaries overseas in
charge of our various conven-
ences for the soldiers, and we
1ow have recreation halls in
every point where our soldiers
are located in this country and
n France, England and Italy,"
We must raise at least $50, 900
n New Mexico, and we cannot
succeed unless we secure the co.
operation of every well disposed
person in the state. "
