The Economy Of Victory.

No matter what this war costs
the Government and the people
of the United States in the way
of money, it is going to be much
cheaper to win this war than to
lose it.
The commercial and financial
losses that would follow a Ger
man victory are not to be calcu-
lated. All that we spent would
be lost, indemnities beyond cal
culation would have to be paid,
and along with these losses
would come a continuing loss in
foreign commerce that would
spell disaster.
With these material losses we
would lose our national liberty
and independence, our power tt
secure our international rights
our right to live in a world rulet
by the dictates of humanity anC
civilization. Elk.

ASK THE PROPER PERSONS,

We are frequently asked the question: els it lawful
to seine in Licking river have the officers whose duty
it to enforce the law agreed that there shall be no pros
ecutions" Ask the officers. We not informed, ex-
cept that we know it is violation of the law to seine in
Licking river. AS to whether the officers have agreed
that there shall be no prosecutions for violating the fish
law we know not They (the ofcers) could be wnking
at violations of the law without entering into any explicit
agreement, which would amount to the same thing.
Some of the officers may be in "cahoot" with the
seners for aught know thus tacity if not openly vi
oating the law and at the same time strainng their Off
cal oaths to beat the band.
That there is or has been, seinng, and lots of it, 60
ing we have not the slightest doubt. If the officers
disposed to enforce the law the evidence would mo-
be difficult to obtain.

DRASTIC PRINT PAPER RULING.

An edict has gone forth from Washington which eff
fecs to certain extent every publisher of newspaper
in the United States. But it is the effect the order will
have the country weekly that concerns u.s. The ruling
in brief this: Beginning Sept. Is, 19S every weekly
newspaper IN the country must cura the of print pa
per cent taking the amount of paper used within the
IL months previous to that date basis For the paper
whose subscription list has not increased within the past
year. and whose list contains large number of delinquent
subscribers, this order is positive benefit But on the
other hand, take paper whose mailing list contains only
relatively small number OF deinquents and whose sub
scrpon list has increased nearly 80 per cent within the
past two months the order rebounds greatly to its disad
vantage The Courier belongs to the latter class. Its
subscription list increased nearly so per cent within the
two months preceding August g. and it has relatively
small number Of delnquents upon its list
Our average number of paidn-advance subscribers
denquents advertisers and exchanges for the year end
ing Sept 10, 1913 will not exceed present paidnad
subscription list The ruling is very strict and very
comprehensive Each publisher must make statement
urder oath OF the average number of copies published each
week ending Sept 15 1918 He must also state the a.
mount OF print paper if any, he has on hand at the time
These facts are forwarded to the paper mills and
distributors throughout the country and kept on file for
reference The publishers must make monthly state
ment upon blanks furnished for that purpose of the num-
Der of papers pubhed which must be Is per cent below
the average for the preceding year, he must reduce the
size of his paper so that he actually using only IS per
cent as much paper as he used the previous year. If he
uses in of this amount the paper mills and disrb
utng houses are Immediately notified to not sell him any
more paper
The publisher must strike from his mailing list all sub
scbers who not paid in advance all exchanges except
where exchange is absolutely necessary to the conduct
of the paper all free copies to advertisers except one copy

THE BATTLE AGAINST HUNGER.

Starvation has killed 100000 people since the out
break of the war250 more than have died on the bat
tie fields 1t the farmers special task to hold the line
against hunger and starvation task that calls for our
fullest of devotion" says the Prairie Farmer
This the growing of the largest possible number of
bushels of wheat next year. Now is the time to deter
mine next years harvest Next years crop will depend
upon how well the ground prepared good seed free of
disease is used and properly fertizad -and

The duty we owe in producing all the wheat that we
can is not to be measured in dollars and cents Human

copies In Short he have nothing but bonade paid
Government to suspend publication during the period Of
the war.
This drastic order has a two-fod purpose There is
shortage of print paper and still greater shortage fuel
with which to manufacture and transport additional
supply Of the two reasons for the curtament the fuel
shortage seems to be the most urgent.
We are not disposed to question the wisdom and JUS
ice of any step taken by the United States Government
to help win the war; but when think of the thousands
of tons of paper used by the big mail order houses print
ing caaogs and the other thousands of tons Of matter
sent out by this or that department of the Government
the newspapers with polite request for free publication
we can not help but believe the burden could have beer
placed little more equtaby.

What They Did.

We have heard much about
Red Cross knitting and Red Cross
knitters. 1t seemed to us thai
most every patriotic girl and wo.
man in the land was knitting.
And we absorbed the idea that
the total of their knitting bee
would be something to brag about.
1t is!
Official Red Cross report says
that there are now ready for dis.
tribution to American troops l..
800, 1000 sweaters, $4,000 muf

There is more than one way Il

There are also battles in the pantry

Unless every person left in America
gets into the fight somewhere alOng

have to fight just so much harder, nsi

In America there is plenty OF money
yet even though billions OF dollars
have been raised since we entered the
war. The money already raised could
be spared as well as not. We have
not yet learned to go without in order
that we may loan our money to the
boys. Uncle Sam handles il, but il
goes to the boys. Into the equipment
