Strong for Home Paper


mo, | don't take the local paper
any more" one farmer said to an
other as they were waiting at the
creamery to unload their milk.
They had just been looking at
poster advertising Subscribe for Your

7-12" 81 take daily paper, and
that's about all | need. 1t has few
items every week from our commu-
nifty, and l feel that | save two dol
lars year by not subscribing to the
home paper
well, that's one way to look at it,
said the other farmer "but I've always
felt that a local newspaper was a
pretty valuable asset to any commu
nifty, and if everybody took the atti-
tude you do, there couldn't be any To-
cal newspaper OF course we could
not get along without our daily papers,
because they keep US informed about
what's going on throughout the ma
ton and throughout the world, but
when you say that they take care of
our local news, | don't think you are
sticking close to facts. They simply
can't, and the publishers haven't any
personal interest in our community
the way our editor has.
IT have always felt that l got value
received for every dollar I've paid out
In subscriptions to the local paper, and
[ don't have an idea that running
country newspaper is any more of
wealth-producing proposition than run
ming a farm. So long as I've got two
dollars | intend that the rural mail
carrier is going to tuck a copy of the
home paper in my box every week"
That farmer knows that the com
munity newspaper is a necessity in
his home; that without it his home
would be incomplete and his part in
the community would be unsatisfactory
to himself and his family He knows
the full value of the local newspaper
as an institution.

WAR DEBTS AND WAR LESSONS.

The Senate rejected the Simmons
amendment to the tax bill, calling for
payment of soldiers bonus out Of
interest on the war indebtedness of
foreign countries to the United States
cause to have adopted it would
have been a cruel hoax on the for
mer service men. There is now no
income from this source and there
is small prospect that any will be
received for long time, if ever.
Senator LaFollette has introduced
another amendment authorizing and
directing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to proceed to the collection of
this interest, but if passed it will
not meananything viii be collested
An important preliminary to collect
ion is the devising Of some means to
enforce payment.
While there is no question about
the legality Of the war Indebtedness
to us, amounting to more than SILL
000,000,0O0, arrears of interest in
Guided with principal, is also comes
under the heading Of debts of
honor" which are not enforceable by
ordinary process. And the fact Of
chief moment il the insisance by
many spokesman for the debtor
nations that they cannot pay. IF it
is impossible for them to raise money
now Or within a reasonable time and
this can be demonstrated, it would
seem to put an end to American
hopes Of receiving what is due. But
we need not be in hurry to adopt
the views Of the gIoomier fnanciers
of London and other European CEN
ters. If England, France, Italy and
the rest are bankrupt to the point
that forgiveness of their debts to
the United States is in order, those
countries will have to admit, as is
being confessed in some quarters,
that they cannot hope to compel
Germany to make the reparations
demanded. This they are not ready
to do, and the reason is not difficult
to grasp.
The situation is unusually interest
ing now when the Washington con-
ference, which it is hoped will remove
the potential causes of war, is about
to assemble If neither winners nor
losers of the World War can pay
their debts growing out of that con-
flict it makes the strongest possible
argument for finding some other
means than war for settlement of in
ternational differences. Rabbi Gold
enson, speaking in Pittsburgh on Sun
day, put the case in words that all
can understand, though he did not re-
fer to the subject of debts and repair
ations. He said: "War is an unquali-
fed evil, curse for the victor as
we'll as for the vanquished." Every

Homeless Waits at Erivan Rail-
road Station.

"Tine after time since the outbreak
of the world war, the Armenians have
made brave attempt to cultivate their
land And time after time some new
disorder has prevented them from gather
ing their crops or laid waste their fields
before the grain has ripened and been
gathered in.
After two years OF American relief
activity it seemed last fall as if we would
be able to reduce our program in Russian
Armenia to the care of the children we
had gathered into orphanages But
then came the new invasion, crops were
trampled down in the fields, live stock
was carried off, and the peasant population
were driven from their homes.
We may not be able to save all OF the
helpless refugees who are now crowded
in this territory, but we certainly cannot
desert the hundred thousand orphan
children who are now in our orphanages
or under our protection in the Caucasus,
Anatolia, Ciicia and other devastated
areas of the Near East. Last spring.
when our supplies ran low, 5000 Of. these
children died out of a total OF 10000 in
one of our orphanages. These children
are absolutely dependent upon aid from
America and will perish if our aid is
with held.
Next year, if further' chaos can be
avoided. possibly we will be able TO
reduce our program, but prompt action
is necessary now or for thousands there
will be no next year"

forty, ever since he had left Canton,

l would find the paper going, and
found it His post office was in a

sell to a family that had moved in.
You get rather well acquainted with
people If you see them once in six
months for that long, so when l got
there one afternoon and didn't find
anyone home-just the door unlocked,
as all doors were there-I went in and
made myself comfortable, and when
supper time came I didn't hesitate
about hunting around for grub. And
while l was doing it found a copy
of the Plaindealer on the kitchen shelf,

paper I was taking right from the
old home town And wondered who
these fifteen-year-old friends of mine
were, I suddenly realized we had
never talked over our pedigrees any.

evening l asked questions, and what

CURED HIS
 RHEUMATISM

1T am eighty-three years old and doctored for rheumatism ever since I came out of the army, over 50 years ago. Like many others, l spent money freely for so-called cures and l have read about Uric Acid until could al- most taste it. I could not sleep nights or walk without pain; my hands were so sore and stiff could not hold a pen. But now I am again in active business and can walk with ease or write all day with comfort. Friends are surpris- ed at the change You might just as well attempt to put out fire with oil as try to get rid of your rheumatism, neu- ritis and like complaints by taking treatment supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. It took MT. Ashelman fifty years to find out the truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheum atism, other disorders, and recover his strength from ''The Inner Mysteries, now being dis tributed free by an authority who de- voted over twenty years to the scienti- fic study of this trouble. If any reader of ''The Hera1d' wishes ''The Inner Mysteries of Rheumatism" overlooked by doctors and scientists for centuries past, simply send a post card or letter to H. P.
