CLINTON. C. CROAL

Postmaster J.sP p. Croal, Of Sisse-
ton, received word from the war
department that the body Of his son
Lieut.. Clinton G. Croal OF Aber-
deem, had been found on the battle
field and that the young man had
been killed in action. It will be
remembered that the family receiv-
ed notification that Lieut.. Croal
was among the missing, ''and this
further notice. several weeks later,
sets at r0st his fate. A young
man Of fine morals and with a
promising career before him in his
chosen profession Of law, he has
surrendered all, and with his life
has sealed his devotion to American
freedom. With the taking off Of
such young man under ordinary
circumstances We should feel inclin-
ed to send our sympathy to the
striken parents who are old friends
but with the glory OF the sacrifice
shining through it all we dare not
attempt to frame words Of commits
seration-their Econsolation must
be in the halo that surrounds the
loss.

More DelcoS

G. r. Mosiman is, arranging to
have an exhibit Of the Delco light
at the county fair next week. The
satisfactory work which the Delco
lights are doing since he commen-
ced placing them on the farms have
convinced all who investigate that
the Delco is one Of the important
economical conveniences Of the
up-to-date farm home. Among
those who have recently availed
themselves of this convenience by
Mr.. Mosiman are: Ernest Meiiitz
and Schwandt Bros. who live few
miles southwest Of town, and Calls
tus Pew, who lives northwest. Also
in the latter direction, the fine farm
home of Gustave Guenther, recently
completed and supplied with mod
ern conveniences, has been made an
ideal farm home by the placing Of
. complete Delco system for light
ing and power in the home and
barn.
The farm home nowadays is not
up to date without the Delco light.

come to the realization that this
critical moment is not the time to
give those mere hungry Office seek

South Dakota has been heroic!
The special session enacted laws
that have put us on the topmost

wonderfully. just as we knew they
would. Our bond sales and war
contributions have been so much
above what was thought possible.

stand by Governor Peter Norbeck

War Ruling for Newspapers

The war industrial board has re-
Gently issued a set Of rules to gov

pers, the object of the rules being
to force the conservation Of print
paper. for which the demand IL
greater than the supply. One Of
these rules is that newspapers must
be paid for in advance. and another
is that there shall be no free copies
circulated. To comply with these
rules the Herald d-Advaince as we'll
as all the other weekly ,fpapers Of
the county will have to insist upon
payment in advance from ell sub
ecripbers. We are thus compelled
to adopt the pay in advance system.
and have already commenced send
ing notices OF indebtedness to sub
scriberA and making collections
with this object ia view. and where
the subscriber fails to meet this
payment thus required we will be
compelled to drop his name from
the list and place the past due ac-
counts in the hands OF . collector.
Kindly help Us by . prompt re-
sponse when you receive notice Of
your indebtedness. The amounts
are generally small. but in the ag-
gregate they mean to the printer
either the feeling Of financial ease
or that Of uneasiness. But regard
less of this we are going to meet
the governments requirements, and
we ask your cooperation
