SLEEVE Band and
GOLD STAR
Endorsed By President As Rest Mark For
War MCurnsrs, As Such Losses Are
Matter OF Glory.

"A black arm band, with gold
star, has been recommended by the
women's committee Of the Council of
National Defense. to be worn instead
of mourning by American women
who have lost members Of their fam
lily in the service of the country.
This action of the committee at this
time is prompted by the feeling on
their part that we should determine
beforehand the attitude we are to
take toward the inevitably growing
death roll Of the defenders Of our
country, The wearing Of such in
sigma will, they feel, express better
than mourning the feeling Of the
American people that such losses are
matter of glory rather than of
prostrating grief and depression.
President Wilson has approved the
resolution Of the woman's committee
in letter to its chairman, DIR. Anna
Howard Shaw"

Honor the name of Henri
Dunant as the real founder of
the Red Cross. A care-free
Swiss traveller, he witnessed
the awful aftermath of the
battle of Solferino, between
the allied armies of Napoleon
III, of France and Victor En-
manuel III. of Italy and the
Austrians under the then
young Franz Joseph, and was
so profoundly affected by the
sufferings of the INTENDED
wounded that he forthwith
gave his life to the ameliora-
ton of such frightful condi-
tions. His book, "A souvenir
of Solferino", startled think
ing people with humanitarian
impulses INTO movement
which eventually developed
into the wonderful Red Cross
organization of today. Horri-
bic as this war is, without the
retaining hand of the Red
Cross, it would be too barbar-
Gus and awful for human COM
prehension. Therefore all
honor to this man, Henri Dun
ant, who made his emotions of
horror, pity and compassion a
great driving force for the in
ception and development of
a great. effective organization
for the preservation and re-
clamation of human life.

What would have been in
conceivable in 1916, has be-
come an astounding fact in
1918. King George and the
people of Great Britain have
actually celebrated our great
est holiday, independence
Day, the day concentrating
the severance of relations with
the mother country, because
of expressions by one George
of Hanover. the third of the
German Georges. 1t is but
right that this should have
been done, for our quarrel in
l775 was not a quarrel with
the English people, nor the
British parliament either, in
spite of the foolish and over
passed at Georges insistence,
but with the narrow-minded,
domineering, egotistical Hun,
then on the throne of Britain.
Our quarrel then as now was
with the German idea, the
German attitude, the attitude
that says, II say so, therefore
it is so. want this, therefore
any act that procures it for me,
is right" We fought this idea
VIGOROUSLY then and we shall
fight it VIGOROUSLY now. 1t is
an idea that should have died
back in the dark ages, an idea,
that, by Gods help, shall die
in this age, that civilization
may go on, that peace and JUS

Beginning August LIST, 1918
the subscription price of the
Central Record will be S1.50 a
year payable in advance. The
Record has borne the burdens
of the increased cost of prac-
tically every item that goes to
make up a weekly paper, since
the war began and with the
advances coming so thick and
fast, we are forced to raise the
rate from S1.00 to $3.50 a
year, in order to make both
ends meet.
Within the last few days the
price of news print has advan-
ced something like $50 on the
ton and it is thought by many
iobbers and other well inform
ed people, that before the year
is ended we will be paying sew
en- cents a pound for all our
news.
So with the scarcity and
high price of labor, the high
price of paper, the advanced
rate in postage, we feel that
we arc perfectly justified in
raisinG our rates to S1.50 a
year.
We are giving nearly thirty
days of grace to all our sub
scribers in which to renew
their subscriptions at the old
price of Sl.00 year. That is
you have to August LIST 1918,
to pay all you may owe the
Record and advance your sub
scription as far as you choose
TO, at the old rate, but after
August LIST, all who have not
paid their subscription in adj
vance, will be charged S1.5Ol
year.
Practically every weekly |
paper in the state has been adj
vanced in price and many of
them to $500 a year, a price
we may have to charge should |
continue to advance.
