Alois Rokusek had misfortune
at Dante last week Monday in
which he broke his lett arm of
which the Dante Progress has this
to say: Alois Rokusek, the new
rural carrier on route 1 had the
misfortune to break his arm Mon
day evening. His car went out Of
commission while on the road to
Dante, and was being hauled into
town. Getting chilled from the
slow riding Alois opened the door
of his car with the intention of
running beside it when in some
manner he stumbled and fell on
his arm, breaking it at the wrist.
He was taken Immediately TO Wag
ner and the arm was set by DR..
Pinard.

We received encouragement
from the way our subscribers DUR
ing the month of December took
advantage of the $3.50 rate.
There is also satisfaction in the
fact that they have realized our 81
tuation in being compelled to raise
the price of the Independent to
$500 per year and that an editor
is entitled to a decent living. How
ever there were several who stop
ped the paper on account Of the
raise, although they have been tax
ing the paper for a long time. We
are sorry to lose them, but if that
is their method and they do not
believe in the maxim ''live and let
live", we can get along without
them very nicely, because we
know that to each one of their
kind their is a hundred who will
continue taking the Independent.
We wish to thank those who stand
by US.

MARQUIS DECLARES HIS IDEALS HAVE
 BEEN ATTAINED

TOKYO. Dec. 6-The new cabi- net headed by Takashi Hara is hailed as marking the advent of popular government in Japan. For fifty years the champions of repre- sentative government have been struggling for a system under which the Premier would be selected for that pest because he was the leader of the majority party in the House of Representatives. This has been accomplished when Mir Hara was chosen.
 During that half century the gov ernment has been in the hands oi clans and court circles generally styled bureaucratic. On the other hand Mir. Hara is a commoner. He has selected as members of his cab inet those of this party, introduc- ing bureaucrats only as ministers of war and navy who under the regulations must be chosen from army and naval circles.
 My ideal has at last been real ized," exclaimed Marquis Okuma Japan's grand old man" who has laborcd always for the cause of democratic government "The whole nation should support the Hara ministry if they are really desirious of the developments of constitutional poNtics in Japan. Japan should have new men, young and yioorOuc who ara ah1e to han de important affairs of state"

this time We were in a sort of 2
 trench one day and had orders tC
 make things as comfortable as possi
 ble, so I dug fine bunk hole in the
 side of a bank and put my haver
 sack and overcoat into it. About
 so we all had to standto. Wher
 things quieted down a bit we got
 orders to stand down. I had jus
 put my rifle in the hole and was thinking of crawling in myself bui
 something held me back. Was talk ing to two of the boys, about six feet from my bunk hole, when 6
 shell landed square into it. One oi
 the boys I was with got a piece ot shrapnel in the back, but neither the other fellow nor I were hurt at all When I came to get my haversack and overcoat out they were some mess. There were 8; holes in my overcoat and the haver sack was riddled-razor and every thing all busted-and my rifle brok en in two.
 we started advancing and pro gressed every day until Oct 10. Or that day we were all in, so stopped in the road for the night. On one side of it there was an eight foo bank. Another fellow and I dug in to it, put a piece of corrugated iror over the top to keep out the rain and had fine little place. Mex
 morning the Germans started tt shell the place, so we crawled bacl
 into our little bunk hole for protec tion. The last I remember is being pinned down and gasping for breath When I came to they had dug u:
 out. I had small piece of shel through my left ear, lower lip cu
 and a piece of shell in my sidt which I think has broken one of my ribs
