OF OVERSEAS SOLDIER s
LETTERS BRING JOY.

The relatives and friends of our sol
diers overseas were made glad last
night by the receipt of many letters
from where the big job was done.
No word had been had for months
from Fred Jones, Harold Larkin and
Eph. Testerman, and the fact that
they had been in the thick of the
fighting on the American front, coup
led with this absence of news of them,
created extreme anxiety and apprehen-
sion. 1t is natural, therefore, that
last night IS mail brought great re-
joicing to the whole community.
Letters of different date were
received in this mail from each of the
boys, showing that, they had accumu-
lated somewhere in transit, and the
dates even extended back into the
earlier part of December. The Herald
is glad IL be able to give extracts from
one of Them this week. This is from
Harold I.;.rkin- Heston, Co. B, End IT,.
S. Englheers, written under date of
Dec. 1918, at Worshum, Germany, to
his brother and sister, Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Heston, of this city:
1'I will drop you a few lines to let
you know l am we'll and feeling fine
as can be. I certainly was sorry to
hear you folks had the influenza, but
hope this finds you well. We are hav-
ing fine weather here; no snow or
rain. and pretty warm. We have just
finished 240 kilometer hike and are
at thc Rhine and from the looks of
things everything is over. / at least
hope SC Fred Jones and all the boys
are well. Things are sure different
here from what I thought they'd be.
Every inch of land is in cultivation,
and where it is rocky and hilly, as it
is here, they plant. grape vineyards
and Luild them up in terraces. Four
of us boys are doing guard duty IA
l.iioncters from the Rhine on rail-
road bridge. We have been here for
five days and don t know how much
longer they will keep us. These peo-
pie treat us fine, wanting to feed US
and give us wine and stuff. They eat
black bread that weighs from four to
five pounds to the loaf about the same
size as our bakery loaf. Shoes cost
from 400 to 500 marks and white col
lars 40 marks. All milk here is turn
ed over to the government. I guess |
you are fixing for large Christmas
spread. l sure wish / was there to
help eat it; but wish you all merry |
Christmas and happy New Year. We
have been on five fronts-Chateau |
Thierry, Scissors, st. Mihiel, Cham
pagne and in the Argonne woods near

President Wilson in brief speech sup

| President Wilson in brief speech sup
porting the general priciples of the
league. His speech was chiefly not
I able for the vivid picture of the ruins
of France and the need of setting up
some system to take the place of this
"organized savagery.v
The Italian premier, Vittorio Or
lando, also briefly supported the res
clution for the league, speaking of the
high ideals it represented.
The former French premier, Leon
Bourgeois, made the most extended
speech of the day in support of the
resolution.
Paris, Jan. 27.-The peace confer
ence today made distinct gain when
the 10 small powers gave full adhesion
five great powers, thus securing unit
ed front of the great and small powers
at the outset of the work on the main
subjects before the members of the
commission.
For time there was some appre
hension of the sequel to the different
viewpoints expressed at Saturday Is
conference, but today s meeting of the
small powers was without incident or
renewal of the claims then set up for
increased representation on the var
ious committees. Belgium, Serbia, Ru
mania and all the other small powers
had their full delegation at the after
noon meeting.
M. Cambon, in opening the meeting, |
took occasion to allude to the great |
part played by Serbia, Rumania,
Greece and others. This dissipated any |
lingering shadows of disagreement, and
the meeting proceeded with entire har-
mony to designate the membership of
the small powers on the commission.
In the meantime the council of the
great powers held two sessions during
the day, resulting in the formation of
two new commissions, to deal with
powers.
While the official communiques give
no indication of the nature of Hthe

The council also proceeded to hear
ngs ON the disposition of the conquer
ed German colonies in the the Pacific
and the far east, a final conclusion
not being reached. The conference is
giving evidence of real progress since

CENTRAL HIGHWAY DISTRICT
CALLS ROAD BOND ELEC-
TTON

A mass meeting of over 200 voters
of the Central highway district held
at Ito Saturday passed resolutions call
ing upon the commissioners of the dis
trict to call special election at an
early date to submit to the voters the
question of issuing bonds in the sum
of $150,000 for highway construction,
says an Ilo special in the Lewiston
Tribune. The motion designating the
amount of the bonds was carried with
cut dissenting vote and there was
strong sentiment favorable to making
the issue 100000 in order that larg-
er sum might be available for lateral
construction.
There will be approximately eight
miles of the north and south state
highway in the Central highway dis
trict and estimates made several
months ago are to the effect the dis
trict's portion of the highway con
struction and the bridge across Lew.
yer's canyon will be about $4,000
This will leave balance of $4,000
for lateral highway construction IN the
district and this sum will be suffi-
cient to provide fine system of roads
throughout the districts. All commu-
mites were represented at the meet
ing today and the sentiment expressed
indicated the proposed bond issue will
be carried with no opposition.
The resolution committee was COM
posed of Walter Zimmerman, r. E.
Warnacutt, Charles Giles, j. L. Os-
borne and r. L. Damrose.

F. M. Dunning, who some time ago
sold his well improved quarter west
of this place, and its 40 acres of fall
crop for $4,000, this week bought the
Jas. Hobart quarter, in the same sec
ton, with no improvements to speak
of and no crop, for $15,500. He made
this reinvestment in a prairie farm af
ter he had travelled far and wide
to find something better, and conclud-
ed there is no such animal, " at least
at anything like the same price.

TIP TO MERCHANTS

When Mr.. j. b. Sax, clothier in
Ottumwa, Iowa, advertises he always
runs little line of small type at the
very top of his ad where he defines
some store policy or service. One of
the most popular is one which states
that no customer in his clothing store
will ever be urged to buy anything.
"You viii never be urged to buy
anything you do not want in this
store; our clerks have positive in
structions on this point" the ad
reads. Mr.. Sax said this idea which
he had carried out several years had
been the means of bringing many
customers back to his store, and
keeping them as steady patrons.

II is most unfortunate that the
conference at Washington on the part
of the government, coal operators
and the coal miners could not reach
an agreement. We are not prepared
to say that the proposal Of IA per
cent. increase is adequate. Nor are
we prepared to say that the proposal
of the miners for 81 per cent in
crease should have been accepted.
We believe, however, that DR. Gar
field has adopted sound principle
in contending that coal can be mined
at present retail prices with adequate
compensation both to the operator
and the miner. Obviously We cannot
stabilize our industries, nor check
the ascending cost of living, if there
is to be a marked advance in the
price of so basic a necessity as fuel.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
mines be operated. 1t is much better
that they be operated by private cap
ital, but if private cap,tai owning
the mines cannot come to terms with
in bounds that would prevent an ad-
vance in the price to the consumer,
there appears to be no other alter
native than the operation OF the
mines by the government itself. The
coal must be produced. If private en-
terprise fails in this supreme obi
CATION to society, it becomes neces-
sary for the government to step in
and perform this essential function
IF the government can operate the
mines with the IA per cent increase
in wages, without advancing the
price of coal to the consumer, and al
the same time make reasonable com.
pensation to the mine owners, i
should be practicable for the owner
himself to operate on this basis. i
Mr.. Garfield can demonstrate thu
practicability of his plan, through
the operation of few mines, Their
would appear to be a reasonable
prospect for a general resumption Oh
this basis,
1t is most unfortunate that Their
should be a development calling TO
further extension of the activitie
of the federal government, but be
tween the evil of govrnment opera
ton and the evil Of no coal, ther
cannot be the slightest hesitation a
/ to the choice. Public opinion wi
] support whatever movement prom
| ises definite results in the way o
coal production.
