UNCLE SAM FAVORS
PROMPT COLLECTIONS.

Uncle Sam, through the Paper and
Pulp board which controls the sup
ply OF all paper stock, asks the pub
fishers to place their subscription ac-
counts upon a cash-in-advance bas-
is. Uncle Sam isn't interested ex-
cept that he wants to save paper and
as under the old system there always
were a certain number who failed to
pay Uncle Sam for the paper wasted.
Uncle Sam doesn't want the pub
Usher to lose his legitimate subscrib-
ers but he does want all waste cut
out. He is going to give us a reason
able time, say a few weeks, to get
our breath and to have our subscrib-
ers come through and straighten up.
To do this we are marking all pap
ers in arrears with a blue pencil
mark. 1t means:
II our record is correct please pay
what you owe and advance your ac-
count as per government order.
If Jul record is incorrect let US
know at once so we may correct it
promptly.
If you don't want the Herald please
pay what you owe to date and we will
stop it.
Understand, friends, we do not
want to lose your patronage or to Of
fend you. But we must do what the
government says.
We will use this pencil mark as a
means of calling your arrears to
your attention.

MANY STILL LOVE
TOBE HUMBUGGED
Seem Not to Mind Having "Some-
thing Put Over" on Them the
Least Bit.
PINK PNAMAS FOR SHIRT
Mall Order Houses Find It Easy to
Make Substitutions Because Of
the Cost Of Making
Exchanges.

It was q famous American Snowman
who declared that the American people
love to be humbugged. That saying is
many years old now but sometimes 1t
seems that there Is about as much
truth In 1t now as there was when 1t
was first uttered.
People as a rule do not like the idea
Of having something put e on
them, but from the way in which the
great mail order houses in the big
cities flourish it seems that a great
many people do not mind it a bit.
The business man who, when he gets
q call for an article which he has not
In stock, attempts to substitute some
other article of a similar nature with
out telling the buyer of the substitu-
ton, is putting something over on
his customer. Few retail merchants
nowadays attempt to do a thing of that
kind. The great majority Of merchants
do not do this for two reasons. One
reason is that they wouldn't do 1t If
they could and the other is that they
couldn't do it if they would. The man
who buys an article Over the counter
and sees what he Is buying before he
pays for it, is pretty sure to get what
he wants.
Ordered Shirt, Got PaJamas.
But there is another class of mer-
chants, of which the same thing cam
not be said. A man who has been close
ly connected with some Of the big mail
order houses is authority for the state
ment that the heads Of the various
merchandise departments Of many
mail order houses have standing orders
to substitute with the nearest thing
they have If the articles ordered are
not in stock and available for delivery.
It is related that In one instance as q
result of these instructions, a man who
ordered a dress shirt from a mail order
house received a pair of pink pajamas
instead.
It is easy for the mail order house to
get away with this substitution of an
other article for the one that is or
dered for the reason that to exchange
an article received from a catalogue
house is a costly SnaermKIrx
