Had You Ever Thought
OF II In This Way?

Last week we received letter from
taking the paper for long time and
had never been "dunned." and that II
we couldn't trust him we could stop
the paper We had called his atten-
tion to the fact that the government
now has inspectors in the field going
over subscription lists-and they have
a perfect right to walk in the office
and demand them--to see II the paper
is carrying anyone who refuses TO
pay up,
More than 5000 weekly newspapers,
published in towns about the size OF
Idaho Springs have had to quit busi-
ness since the war was started be
cause they could not get out their pa
per and have to wait a year or two for
a subscription to be paid up. Uncle
Sam realized that only through the
weekly papers could he sell thrift
stamps and float his Liberty bonds in
rural communities. He saw paper
after paper turning up its toes to the
daisies and the editors going where
they could work on straight salary and
feed their families. He had to do
something to help the papers over the
worst period in their history, so he
made ii compulsory on them to charge
in advance for their papers. He also
suggested that they increase their sub
scription rate as paper went up. and
thousands have done that.
Uncle Sans ruling has put the
newspaper business on real busi-
ness basis.

The Siftings is endeavoring to get

and il will be sent out to all corners
of the country to people who are real
ly interested.
Remember, we are going to mile
here on a larger scale. and many new

mer. We expect to give accurate data
on what our mines have done in the
past, what they are doing at present
and what we expect them to do in the
future.
We people of Silver Plume boast
among ourselves of our ores showing
the highest average price in the state,
so let's figure it out and show what
we have got thru the columns OF the

The Little Home Paper

The little home paper comes to me,
AS badly printed as it can be;
It's ungrammatical. cheap, absurd
Yet how | love each intimate word.
For here as in the teemlng town,
Where the sad, mad people rush up
And it's good to get back to the old
lost place,
And gossip and smile for a little space.
The weather is hot; the corn crops
good;
They've had picnic in Shedon's
Wood.
And Aunt Maria wa ssick last week;
Ike Morrison's got swollen cheek,
And the Squire was hurt in run

More shocked than bruised, I'm glad

face:
For out in the world was a job to do.
And he wouldn't come home until II

And its hardware store, this boy went
