Grounding Day Teaches You Should
Buy Much and Often From
Oakley Merchants
The business men of Oakley were
not slow to see that there's a million
dollar advertising suggestion in
grounding day. Give yourself the
best food you can afford-it will do
you good and provide you with an
other motive for hard work. Buy
the best clothes you can afford; if
possible, let your clothes be fitting
symbols of the good opinion you
hold of yourself. It's an altruistic
thing to dress attractively, for it
helps to brighten up the scenery for
others. Oh, yes, you might get
along and hibernate with a gunny
sack for clothes and meat rinds and
potato peels for eats-some have
done that. But who wants to be
gronudhog?
Most of the expenditures advised
in the advertising sections of this
paper are real investments-they
will help you to earn many times
the amount of money expended. The
grounding perhaps can afford 20
sleep for the next six weeks, but
Oakley valley farmers must keep
their hands and HEADS busy all
the time. Is the harness ready for
spring plowing? Do the things now
that can be, done now; there will be
other things to do later. By follow
ing this plan consistently, many |
dollars can be saved.
Treat yourself to the best you
IAN afford. Come to Oakley often
he home merchants will give you
/ square deal.
The message of grounding day is
DON'T BE A GROUNDHOGl

The organizers of the club had in
mind the promotion of clean,
wholesome place of amusement
where all could meet night or day
for recreation. All the ladies of the
camp are honorary members of the
club and welcome at any time.
A public initiation of twenty-five
members was given at the mil
boarding house. All visitors were
met at the door by two of the en-
tertainment committee. Upon their
two hands being grasped by the
committee, they received shock.
This started the fun which did not
abate till one a. m.
All members before being initia-
ted took the following oath: 81 do
solemnly swear, by the Great Twin
Peaks, that will do, TO the best of
my ability, that which is asked of
me by the initiating committee. If
break my oath may pass through |
the valley of the slap-jacks."
President Mr.. Church was first
initiated. Blindfolded he repeated
certain words which sadi something

WE INTENDED TO PUBLISH
THE GROUNDHOG'S PICURE

In this number, but we couldn't
find the grounding in time to
get the photo and have a half
tone made. You know this is
special Groundhog Day number
and we thought you would ex-
pect to see the likeness of the
fellow whom we. are honoring.
1t is said the grounding came
out today all right, although it
was pretty cold for him-so
cold that he made the visit We
ry brief and formal. 1t was
three above zero this morning
by Bishop John Adams record,
but the grounding didn't need
any officia record to convince
him that it was cold weather.
If the grounding had come out
Thursday morning, he would
have found themercury at z
below zero.
They say the grounding saw
his shadow and became so bad
ly frightened that he ran for
his hole In a panic.

The Herald is issuing specia
Grounding Day number because the
grounding teaches a great moral
lesson. He is one of natures Illus.
trations of what happens when a
creature yields to circumstances in
stead of mastering them. One
might well say, Go to the gronud-
hog, thou sluggard, consider his
ways-and beware!"
The groundhog Is at the mercy of
the weather. In the summer he
lives; in the winter he crawls into
his hole, ceases to live-and merely
hibernates.
Some of us are like the ground
hog-if not more so, The ground
hog really lives in the summer and
some of us merely hibernate all the
yearl 8 y
Theg roundhog is the reduction
to absurdity of the contention IF
the stoics that in order to be happy
a man should get rid of the normal
human cravings. "Cease to desire
things" they said, "and then you
will not be unhappy when you can't
afford to buy them" Well, the
grounding is pretty good stole.
He has adapted himself to winter,
the season of scarcity of food, by
giving up his appetite during the
winter. He crawls into his hole and
forgets all about things to eat--he
That's the groundhog's
way of settling the problem of the
high cost of living-but who wants
20 be a gronudhog?
The normal human cravings are
he foundation of all achievement. |
These cravings should not be de-
itroyed but nourished and directed |

he daily battle against the three

YOU CAN GET THE HERALD
FOR THREE CENTS A WEEK

We are planning to give ev-
erybody in this county a chance
to subscribe at the old rate of
$3.50 per year before we raise
the price to $500. $3.50 per
year is less than cents week
the funnies alone are worth
a great deal more than that.
We are still giving out-of-
the county subscribers an op-
portunity to renew at the rate
of $500 per year, before we
raise the price to $3.50. $500
per year is less than cents
per week. And each week you
get more local news than many
country weeklies give in a
month.
The Herald comic section is
valuable as gloom chaser.
The children will enjoy it, and
so will you. If you are already
a subscriber, you'd better re-
new the subscription before the
price is advanced.

Experiment With Electric snos


Experiments are being made
abroad with an electrical method of

of some months" says the Washing

of high voltage is run through the
stalks which kills the bacteria which

continued for three or four days.
the current gradually rising, and il
is claimed that after the use of this
process the fodder will KEEP fresh

The experimenters estimate that
the use of such electrical siIos will

First Ward Drama Shows
Unusual Array of High

NOT A VACANT SEAT
IN OP E r A HOUSE
Play Characterized By
Pathos With Mixture
of Humor

OtIOuB HcdIts idtC pay "oo
presented to the public by the First
Ward Mutual Improvement associa-
ton, January 26. Probably no play
of the season has a greater gripping
interest for the public than this one.
Beginning in the east with sur
roundings of culture and refine
ment, we are led step by step into
situations Of humor and pathos.
The picture of Strongheart, the In
dian, taken into the midst of the
leading social group at Columbia,
the leader IN football and society,
yet in the end denied the right of
marrying into a white family, is We
ry touching.
The first act of the play is di-
rectly in touch with the college spi-
rit of Columbia social life, with its
fun and merriment, its pathos and
dark coloring. Woven here and
there in the play is streak of a
darker life-the ife of the sport and
gambler. From the first act the
contrast between the chivalrous and
the gambling life grows more vivid.
At last, in the third act, Thorne
attempts to throw the game. H g
places the blame on Strongheart, |
who is compelled to remain out of |
the game. The agony of Strong
heart, who is compelled to remain
out of the game, is vivid and thrill
ing. Time and again, one is tempt (
ed to believe that a game is really in
progress.
In the third act, Strongheart finds
the chance to tell his love to Doro-
thy. The setting, lighting and
wording make the scene touching.
Added to this, the beautiful Ian
guage is we'll placed to bring beauty
OF expression.
The last of the third act is tense
and gripping, especially when all
the white friends of Strongheart, ex-
cept Dorothy, break their friendship
with him.
In the fourth act, the play hastens
rapidly to a touching conclusion.
Refused by his white friends,
turns to Dorothy for !,
comfort, only to find that his tribe (,
will not accept her as his wife. :,
Here in a pathetic position, alone, !,
with only Dorothy, he summons his :
manhood and rejects the proposition !,
to take her home. She is willing to =
go with him, but he refuses. H e .
loves her too we'll to take her to the :.
of his people.

FEEL EFFECTS OF WAR
German College Students Have
Been Great Sufferers

Berlin, April 9.-[Correspondence
of The Associated Press]-College
students in Germany have probably
suffered more from the effects Of the
war than any other class. Instead Of
his pre- war existence of beer drink
ing and card playing, the student is
now compelled to work his way
through college.
Figures show that more than
5000 Of the 10000 German students
are compelled to earn their living. OF
this total about 5000 work eight
hours a day and attend school in
their spare time.
The school authorities have sue
ceeded in obtaining employment for
many of the students. At Leipzig. for
example. a certain number of medi-
cal students have organized work
shops for the supply of scientific
instruments. The initial capital, the
greater part Of which was a gift.
amounted to 10000 marks. Within
Ave months the association had
earned 100000 marks. Every month
about 100000 marks is paid out, to
twenty or thirty students as wages.
Many other experiments made by
students, particularly the printing
and selling of school books. have
been successful.
