HONOR ROLL
Names Of New Subscribers and Others
Who Paid Subscription During the
Month Of August.

Notwithstanding the torrid
month of August, a very credi-
table number of our friends did
not forget that we need money to
meet our expenses in hot weather
as well as in cool, and they
came across" as the following
list of names will show. Look
over the list and renew the ac-
uuaintance Of your friends.
War conditions are making the
lot of the newspaper publisher
harder every day. Help is be-
coming scarcer, expenses Of
every kind connected with the
publication, is daily mounting,
and the end is not yet. The Gov
ernment is doing its best to help
everybody to conduct his busi-
ness so as to effect the greatest
saving for the necessities of war.
The Government has told you
how much flour you may buy,
how much meat you may use,
how much sugar you may have,
and this has not hurt any one;
it has saved these important
foods for our brave boys across
the seas. But there is a great
scarcity Of paper, and of
the material from whi h
paper is made; and to relieve this
situation, the Government has
ruled that publishers shall not
waste papers by sending them TO
people who do not wish them bad
enough to subscribe and pay for
them. Hence, as will be seen in
a notice elsewhere, publishers
are ordered not to send news
papers after the first day of Oc-
tober to any one who is not paid
up to that date, and, that does
not keep paid up after that time.
Most of the people who are in
arrears for their newspaper are
so from pure carelessness. 1t is
not because what they owe for
their newspaper is so much for
it is not likely as much as the
cost of a new hat; but is just
neglect. Of course, you know,
just on the quiet, that there
are few persons who do not ex-
pect to pay-not because they
can't pay, but because they are
not built that way.
Now, you do not wish that the
NEWS shall cease coming to your
home on the first day of October;
hence, just while it is fresh in
your mind write a little check
for the amount due, including
years subscription in advance,
mail it, and we'll do the rest, be-
sides thanking you for helping to
make our compliance with the
Governments order that much
easier.
Don't forget to look over the
Honor Roll-your name may be
in the next.

THE PRICE OF COPPER.

The copper producing industry OF
the United States, and particularly
in the west, has received a serious
setback by the action Of the price
fixing committee of the War Indus
tries Board which convened in Wash
ington, May %. Representatives
from mining communities from all
over the country assembled in Wash
ington on that date for the purpose OF
conference with the committee, ex-
pecting that they would receive some
consideration; or at least that the
subject would be thoroughly canvass
ed before a decision was arrived at.
They were doomed to disappointment,
however, as they were informed that
the committee had concluded to let
the already fixed price of % u cents
per pound remain as it was, thus ar
bitrarily imposing upon the produc-
ers a price to be received for their
ing down of some mines, the restric-
ton of production in others, and the
encouragement of the investment
necessary to develop copper properties
into producers; and this at a time
when thecountry, owing to the stress
of war, is facing a copper shortage.

Did Not Fool the Bear.

Bruin Is self-educated, but excep-
tionaliy wise in the way of mankind
A prospector proved that. Having
suffered the loss of much food, he pre-
pared a particularly tasty morsel for
the bear and left it in the cabin, with
notice on it to warn any prospectors
or hunters that might enter that it
was intended for bruin, and brui q
alone. The bear arrived in due course
and ate everything edible and some
things that were not, but passed up
the meat that had been prepared fer
him. And it was bacon, too. This
prOspectOr declares that the bear must
be bio To rAnH
