Notice to Subscribers.

All newspapers in this country
have received official notice that
beginning with October 1st no
newspapers may be sent to sub
scribers unless paid in advance; 20
sample copies may be sent; the size
of some papers must be reduced
and no new papers may be estab-
lished. This is due to the short
age of paper. Paper mills must
sign a pledge that they will send
no supplies to papers which in
turn shall not promise them to
save paper. Our readers are noti-
fed that this order by the govern
ment must be observed to the
letter, and they whose subscrip-
tion is due will kindly send it in.
We will send notices to those who
are in arrears before that day, but
as notices cost us 5 cents each, a
considerable expense is attached to
this procedure; hence we do not
intend to send notices to all, be-
cause many of our readers know
when their subscription expires.
If we were to send notices to our
$50 subscribers, an outlay of $27.
so would be incurred, and that is
poor economy during these war
times. So send in your subscrip-
tion during August and Septem-
ber if you are certain that it ex-
pires during these months. ard if
you are not sure, send it in any
way, or stop at our Office when in
town and see how you stand. At
ter September Is, we will send
notices to those who did not take
notice, and if we do not receive a
remittance, the Independent will
be promptly stopped reaching
their home, We cannot afford to
spend $27'50 and much time in
sending out notices-hence we re-
sort to this means.
Furthermore, every publisher
must agree to this in writing and
any violation will be followed by
the stopping of supplies of paper
which means that such newspaper
must cease publication.

The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan will begin Septem-
ber % and close October 10. The
result of the loan will be watched
with keen interest in Europe, not
only by our associates in the war
against the Teutonic powers but by
enemies. 1t will be regarded by
them as a measure IF the Ameri-
can peoples support of the war.
The germans know full well the
tremendous weight and signifi-
canoe of popular support of the
war, of the people at home backing
up the Army in the field. As the
loan succeeds our enemies will sor
row; as it falls short they will re-
joice. Every dollar subscribed
will help and encourage the Ame-
rican soldiers and hurt and depress
the enemies of America.
The loan will be a test of the
loyalty and willingness of the peo-
pie of the United States to make
sacrifices compared with the will
ingness of our soldiers to do their
part. There must be and will be
no failure by the people to mea-
sure up to the courage and devo-
tion of our men in Europe. Many
of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home Withhold our mo-
ney9 Shall we spare our dollars
while they spare not their very
lives2

| cant whom we'll call Lank for short
Lank used to be something of {
baseball player. In fact, he's still or
the rolls of certain national league
club, and back in 1914 it was Lank's
mighty swatting that won the worlds
championship.
Next to General Pershing, himself
and few other generals, Lank is
about the most popular soldier in
France When his regiment, comes
swinging down the pike the sidelines
are jammed with other soldiers who
crane their necks to get peek at
him.
Lank always carries the flag. He's
now sergeant. ...a...
$50 that fella's Lark, the great ball
player" you can hear one "doughboy
say to another. "Well. I'll be dog.
goned. Looks just like any other
soldier, don't he''
"What you expect to see?' will ask
boy who has worshipped Lank's
batting average for 10 these many
years. "Didja expect to see fella
wearin' baseball uniform and carry.
in bat over his shoulder? Sure
that's Lank. Hello, Lark, howja like
soldiering?" ..
Lark will look out Of the corner of
his eye and then, sure that the col.
onel isn't looking, will reply out of the
corner of his mouth:
Were onto the kaiser's curves:
boys. Well hit everything those Huns
pitch for home runs. No strike outs
in this game!'
Lank is the life of his regiment. In
his "stove league this winter he has
organized all kinds of baseball leagues
and next spring he's going to lead a
championship team against all soldier
corners. .a.. .., ,....
II General Pershing isn't too busy
Lank will try to get him to umpire
some afternoon. ....- 49,.
Lank isn't very strong for the dis
cipline stuff they have in the army,
but he behaves himself and does ev.
erything his officers tell him to do.
I dropped into see his colonel the
other day but he wasn't in his office.
Lark was there, however, with his
feet on the coloneps stove.
After while the colonel same in.
Lark removed his feet and greeted
his regimental commander with:
"Well, we'll, colonel, back so soon?
Just look who's here: Our old friend,
Cal Lyon. Cal, If the colonel he
doesn't ask you to stay for lunch,
come on over and eat with me-"
After Lark had gone out the colon
ell said: '@''t' -
Every outfit ought to have few
fellows like Lark. The boys idolize
him and he's got EN- all stirred up
wit hhis proposed baseball teams. He
helps 'em to forget the discomforts Of

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Feb. 1S.-The chief idea be
hind our military censorship is to
keep the kaiser of Germany from
finding out how many of US Americans
there are over here, what we had for
breakfast today, how big a supply OF
groceries we have on hand, and how
we feel about continuing our little az
fair with him.
For that reason, no war correspond
ent is permitted to mention any Amer
lean military unit by name or number
or disclose its identity. ..
We have been permitted to say that
every state in the Union is now re-
presented by troops on French soil
hut it is absolutely prohibited to in
dictate there might be some here from
Missouri, or New York, or Ohio.
Here's one way correspondents
have OF gently evading the censorship
and still staying in the good graces of
the censors:

manded by major who is still
in his early thirties," CORES

major is the son of former
president Of the United States,
who has very prominent teeth, who
occasionally. mind YOU, will drink
milk punch just before retiring
II he has had a particularly siren
uous day, and who is the inventor
of numerous phrases such as
shorter and uglier word, 'practi-
cal men, strenuous life etc.
etc.
It's no military secret that my vot.
