THE HERALD AND NEWS.

We told you few issues back taaS
we were going to print the best neWs1
paper this year that We have evera
printed, and that means some paper
We have had our troubles for the
past several months, and sometimes
the fGture looked gloomy. l am op-
timistic by nature and can't help It,
and don't deserve any credit for t.
. though I am glad that I am. During
the past several months my optimism
has been put to the severest test. 1t
looked one time that l could not get
any help, and that l would be unable
to print any sort Of paper. But (
feel that has now been settled, and
while We are not swifts or record
breakers, we are getting there all {
the same, and as soon as we catch,
up and take a new hold, which wilYN
be very soon, we are going to move
some.
During these months of trial We
lost some of our subscribers. I sup
pose they thought it would not ba
well 70 renew with us, and so went
elsewhere At any rate, all who did
not renew and whose time was ou-
prior to January 1 have been taken
from our list. We should have beea
glad to have had them remain, but
if they preferred to do otherwise we
have no quarrel with them. There
are good many whose time is ex
piring in January and February
These We have not taken off. II
they do not renew when the first OF
February comes off they will go. We
want the fellows who stand by you
when trouble comes. They are the
friends who count. 1t is easy to be a
friend when everything goes along
smooth, but the testing time comes
when everything goes dead wrong
But I have no quarrel o" scolding FOR
any one.
Beginning today and continuing up
to and through March 2, 1 am going
to sell The Herald and News for TEN
months for the sum of one dollar. No
more, no less. This applies to the
1900 now on our list and to all who
may desire to join the family. l. is
too cheap at $3.50 year but there
are many who could not get to town
during the bad weather and this
plan will be easy just to enclose a
dollar bill in an envelope and give
your name and postoffice and We will
dc the rest. We get the dollar and
you save twenty-five cents. The time
will positively not BE- extended. so
if you want real newspaper for one
dollar, start the dollar rolling. We
are going to treat every one JUST
alike. If you have paid in advance
you can have the date extended the
ten months by the payment OF the
dollar. If your time is out you can
get ten months for the dollar. II
you are not on our list, you may ger
there for ten months by the payment
Of the dollar.

interest. You will like to read lt,e
and we are going to print a few col

week. You don't want to miss any
of this story, or rather recital Of the

The present war has brought to the
attention Of the American people. as
never before, what a wonderful asset
we have in poultry.
With foodstuffs getting more scarce
every day, and with the question OIL
meats becoming a serious problem. the
people have an opportunity to DO
very patriotic work in increasing the
production of poultry. thereby furnish
ing to this country as well as to our
allies an increment in foodstuffs.
1t seems nothing short of treason
for man or woman, with any facin-
ties whatsoever for keeping poultry
not to do so at this time. Every BACK
lot should be put into service in in
creasing the egg and poultry produc-
ton of this country
1t is almost inconceivable the Won
derful amount of good that could be
done if every family would, at this
time. put in flock OF standardized
fowls and give them reasonable care
and attention. II several million peo-
pie would do this Just think OF the
many millions OF dollars Of eggs and
poultry that would be produced this
present year. Il each family would
have flock large enough to insure Its
own eggs for table use and raise
enough fowls for its own table con-
sumption-just think Of the amount OF
feed that this would release to our
boys "over there" and our allies.
The back lotter'' and the Ameri-
can citizen living in his home should
not wait until the shoe pinches,' ike
the people have done in the other war
ridden countries, but they should start
at once and prepare a place for some
standard bred fowls. They should then
secure the fowls and start in and con-
tribute that much towards increasing
the food production of this country
thereby doing their bit towards the
increase of food production which Is 80
essential and necessary II the United
States and it's allies are successful IN
winning this present war. We must
win the war-Prussianism must be DE-
feated, and while it might seem small
to each individual-you can do your
part in helping to alleviate the tense
food conditions-every flock of poultry
will help win the war.

RUSSIAN FARMER NOT HUNGRY.
Has No Use For Money and Using Pro-
duce as Medium of Exchange.

Special to Times Republican.
Washington March 1.-THE Rus
sian farmer is back at work on the
land and living on his own produce
reports Charles L. Preston, a prominent
New England shoe and leather man
who has just returned from a trip to
VladivostoS on a special mission for
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department OF Commerce.
so far as food is concerned he is not
badly off, but he is putting very little
on the market. He barters for the
little he needs in the way of manufact-
ured goods but win ret accept money
for his produce. He refuses to worry
about the fluctuations IN the value of
the ruble.''
Mr. Preston, who has spent many
years in Russia went to Russia on this
occasion in behalf of the government
to find ont what could be done to
facilitate the shipment of hides and
skins to the United SCtates, but found
little ENCOURAGEMENT for the near
future. Farm rs are not allowed to kill
calves for a period of three years and
only small quantities of other hides
and skins are being bartered by the
raisers. Old stocks are held III inferior
warehouses and by Spectators but
there are no important supplies of hides
and skins in or near Vladivostok.
The business stagnation in Russia,
explains Mr. Preston, is due in part
to the depreciation of the ruble and to
restrictions on the banks. Transfer OF
money by banks from one city to
another is forbidden, and depositors are
not allowed TO draw more than $50
ri.ples at a time. In ordinary times go
rubles is equal to a trif1e more than
s125, but Is worth a great deal less
now.
Developments in the Russian hide
and skin business will continue to
receive the careful attention of the
bureau OF foreign and domestic COM
merce, and plans are being made for
an exhaustive report on the industry
as it existed before the war, and
during the war and on the prospects
of the future, as soon as such prospects
can can be dlscerned with any GER
tainty.
