tions for young people of school age.
Large numbers of boys and girls are
leaving school to take advantage of
what seems high wages instead of
studying to train themselves to fill
skilled positions which will be open
after the war. and the most of these
young people are laying up for them
selves unhappiness and discomfort
for their adult years.
/. Among these boys and girls there
are many, of course, who leave school
through apparent necessity Home
conditions often seem to require the
wage-earning Of the children, and
this is one feature of the drive"
that has been carefully considered
by the bureau which has made ar
rangements with the Red Cross to

ficiently to permit the child to stay

But where there Is one child COM
PEELED by absolute necessity to leave
school, there are hundreds of child
rem who leave because the attrac-

not grasp the fact that no money
can take the place Of educated brains
and trained hands, and as often as
not the grown-up members OF the
household are so devoid of an edu-
cation, themselves, or so imbued with
a love for money. that their coun-

pense of school.
Through committees appointed in
each of the schools in the country.
this drive will be launched and pro-
gressive schools will Immediately ar
range for classes into which young
people may be taken for long-neg-
lected school work without embar-
rassment for the pupils. Here in
Hayti there are numbers of young
wage-earners who in all justice
should be back in school. and now Is
the time to see that they are given
every opportunity to get there. Let
our school district join this progress

GERMANY To PAY COST

At last news comes over the cables
that indicates and says that peace
is at hand.
This time the peace offensive was
started by Germany. There is no
camouflage about it this time. Ger
many started the war, and Germany
has ended it-by accepting the Allies
provided Unconditional Surrender.
The terms that Germany has spurn-
ed in the past has been welcomed.
1t was the only way to save the Faith
erland from the devastation that the
Kaiser's hordes have inflicted on
Belgium and France.
The indemities that France paid TO
Germany in the past Will be but a
drop in the bucket when compared
with the sums the German people
must produce to pay for the acts of
barbarism of their Kaiser and his
drunken war lords
But even now, that the peace pact
has been signed. and when the arms
are stacked, and the last shot has or
will have been fired, America is not
done. 4 sufficient force must be
left there to see that Germany does
not consider the peace pact a mere
scrap of paper" to be ruthlessly
destroyed because of military ne
cessity' as another peace treaty was
ignored when Belgium was invaded
and desolated.
The American soldiery will be left
for a while to see that the terms are
all carried out Even If they did
not tarry long on German soil, the
Government is confronted with the
mighty task of bringing our boys
back to their native land.
1t is said by those who are in a
position to know, that it will take
at least two years for their return.
And, when the fighting days are over
and the excitement is gone, then ii
is that time will hang heavy on the
doughboy's hands, He will seak

ONCE Phone
THE ELEVENTH MILESTONE

With this issue the Herald enters
upon it's eleventh year, larger and
better than ever. and with an equip
ment second to none.
In undertaking the publication of
the paper some three years ago. we
had many misgivings, but believing
that earnest, honest and persistent
efforts would bring a just reward.
In this we did not deceive ourself.
We delivered the goods and success
has crowned our efforts. At the
same time we have earned every dol
lar we have. by long hours and hard
work. and. we might say, by many
sleepless nights.
Today, the Hayti Herald stands
among the foremost local papers in
the state, and by the same effort and
painstaking that put it where it is,
we expect to strive on for still great
er things, and with the same patron
age from the people in the future as
in the past we know our efforts will
not be in vain.
In rounding out the old year and
beginning the new, we are sadder
and wiser in many ways, for we have
found some false friends But we
are more happy than sad, because
we have found so many true friends
who have proved their worth and up
on whose friendship we san rely.
We see no reason for a change in
the policy of the Herald.so hence
forth we will be found on the Demo-
cratic firing line and boosting for
Hayti, Pemiscot County and the state
of Missouri
Thanking one and all for the con-
shown us during the past
year. we again place our services at
YOUR command for another twelve
and remain,
Yours obediently,
OTIS PCPHAM.
