On account of extra job printing
and other hindrances the News is late
this week. On account of war times
we are running short of help and it
Is very difficult sometimes to get the
paper out on time.

The Salt Creek steamer is being
coaled preparatory to making the trip
on which all defeated candidates will
take a ride after a sizzing hot cam-
paign.

According to todays' papers the
Americans and French on the West-
ern Front are causing consternation
among the German troops. We be-
lieve that the Kaiser is beginning to
realize that the American army is
not so insignificant after all. Ac-
cording to our way of thinking one
American soldier is worth a cowpen
full of Germans when it comes to
fighting, and the German hordes will
realize Borne day, if not now, that the
United States is the most powerful
nation on the globe and that the
American soldier is without n peer
courage, markmanshlp and endur-
ance.

be given. The high cost of material
is putting many country papers to
the bad and it all comes about be-
cause of the lack of appreciation on
the part of the people among whom
it circulates. There are people who
do not appreciate their home paper
but expect it to be published every
week in the year full of live news
