CUT CIRCULATION
SAYS WAR BOARD
Weekly Publishers Must Use IS
Per Cent Less Paper Than
Past Year
PAY SUBSCRIPTIONS IN ADVANCE

The order reducing the amount of
print paper that may be used by week
ly newspapers by Is per cent has been
prepared by the pulp and paper section
of the war industries board at Washing
ton, and will be effective September IS.
The regulations providing for a re-
duction of Is per cent for daily papers
became effective on August 12, and
those providing for a reduction of 20
per cent on the part of Sunday papers
will become effective on September /.
Publishers of weekly newspapers
must arrange for reduction of Is per
cent in their circulation beginning with
September Is, in order to meet the re-
quirements of the war industries board.
To comply with this order is going to
be a big problem for many publishers.
T. E. Connolly, chairman of the pulp
and paper section, stated that publish
ers should advance the subscription
price, especially if it was below So;
discontinue all subscriptions that are
not renewed and paid in advance at
the time the subscriptions expire; elm
mate all free copies; eliminate ex-
changes unless they are absolutely es-
sential to the conduct of the paper
discontinue the practice of conducting
subscription contests or clubbing ar
rangements.
Publishers must report on the amount
of paper used from September j, 1917,
to September 1, 1918, by sworn affidavit.
Statements must also be made for the
coming year and these must show Is
per cent less than the previous year.
Failure to make reports, or failure to
make reductions, will result in either
mills Or jobbers being required to shut
off the supply Of paper to the offending
publisher.
The Iowa County Democrat, along
with all other papers, will comply with
the law. Subscribers who are in ar
rears are notified that should they fail
to receive their paper after September
Is they will know that we are like the
good soldier, obeying war orders.

 Look out. You're drowning him. the mate warned.
 "Am IT. Macdonald glanced with mild interest at the head that had been until that moment submerged. "Shows hoy absent-minded a man gets. I was thinking about how he tried to drown me. I expect" They dragged the miner aboard.
 "Go ahead. I'll swim down." Mac donald ordered.
 Better come aboard" advised the mate.
 "No. I'm all right"
 The Scotsman pushed himself back from the boat and fell into an easy stroke. Nevertheless. there was power in it. for he reached the Hannah be- fore the rescued miner had been helped to the deck. A dozen passengers, crowded on the lower deck. pushed forward eagerly to see. Among them was Selfridge. his shirt and collar torn loose at the neck and his immaculate checked suit dusty and disheveled. He was wearing pair of up to date Oxford pumps. Macdonald shook himself like New foundland dog. He looked around with sardonic amusement. grin on his swollen and disfigured face. Quite a pleasant welcome home" he said ironically. his cold eyes fixed on a face that looked as If 1t might have been kicked by a healthy mule. "Eh. Trelawney"
 Che COrnishman giared at him. and turned away with low. savage oath.
 Are you hurt. Mir. MacdonaldT' asked the captain.
 Hurt! Not at all. captain. I cut myself while was shaving this morn ing-just a scratch" was the ironic answer.
 There's been some dirty work going on. I'll see the men are punished. sir"
 Forget 1t. captain. I'll attend to that little matter" His jaunty. almost insolent glance made the half-circle again. Sorry you were too late for the party. gentlemen-most of you. l see three or four of you who were among those present. It was a strict ly exclusive affair. And now. If you don't mind. I'll say good night" He turned on his heel. went up the stairway to the deck above and dis appeared into his stateroom.

SUPERIOR TO FATE'S BROWNS
Frenehman Who Lost Both Hands in Warfare Has Supplied Deficiencies
 by His Own Ingenuity.

An extraordinary case is that of Jean Ledrans, French mechanic. now country farmer. He has lost both hands in the war. mobilized in the artillery. He took part in numer- ous engagements, was once wounded. and received the military cross of the Legion of Honor for the capture of a German stronghold after he was pro- noted to second lieutenant. Being an expert grenadier. he was chosen to train recruits In bombing. While Hv- ing instruction a grenade he held burst. killed six men and wounded Ledrans in five places. He lost his right eye and both his hands were blown off. Immediately after his re- covery the peasant girl to whom he had been engaged married him and he settled on his father-in-law's farm. This brave son of France is now able to write. drive horse and cart. drive a blow, hoe and dig the fields and har- ness and unharness horse. All the appliances which he uses on both stumps of his forearms have been de vised by himself.

CHAPTER II.
The Girl From Droaheda.

Gordon Elliot was too much of 6 night owl to be an early riser. but next morning he was awakened by the tramp of hurried feet along the decl to the accompaniment of brusque or ders. together with frequent angry putting and snorting of the boat From the culver of the walls he guessed that the Hannah was stuck or a sandbar. The mates language gave backing to his surmise.
 Elliot tried to settle back to sleep but after two or three intellectual eff forts gave it up. He rose and did one or two setting-up exercises to Timber his joints. The first of these flashed the signal to his brain that he was stin and sore. This brought to mind the fight on the hurricane deck, and he smiled. It hurt every time he twiched a muscle.
 The young man stepped to the look. ing glass. Both eyes were blacked. his lip had been cut. and there was a purple veal well up on his left cheek He stopped himself from grinning only just in time to save another twinge ot pain.
 "Some party while 1t lasted. never saw more willing mixers. Everybody seemed anxious to sit in except Mir, Wally Selfridge." he explained to his reflection. But Macdonald is the class. He's there with both right and left. That uppercut of his Is vicious. Don't ever get in the way of 1t. Cor. don Elliot"
 He bathed. dressed and went on deck.
 Early though he was. one passen- ger at least was up before him. The young woman he had noticed last eve ming with the magazine was doing a constitutional.
 Irish he guessed her when the deep blue eyes rested on his for an instant as she passed. and fortified his conjec- ture by the colcring of the clear skinned face and the marks of the Gel tic race delicately stamped upon it.
 The purser came out of his room and Joined Elliot. He smiled at sight of the young mans face. "Your maps . little out of plumb this morning, sir, !" he ventured.
 But you ought to see the other fea- low" came back Gordon boyishly.
 "Pve seen him-several of him. I've got to give 1t to you and Mir. Macdon- ald. You know how to hit"
 "Oh, I'm not In his class"
 Gordon Elliot meant what he said. He was himself an athlete. had played for three years left tackle on his col- lege eleven. More than one critic had picked him for the All-America team. But after all he was . product of train ing and of the gymnasiums. Nacdon- ald was what nature and . long line of fighting Highland ancestors had made him.
 The purser chuckled. Hes . good un. Mac is. Thev say he liked to have
