GOYERXMEXT ORDERS
The War Industry board, which
has taken a hand in regulating the
industries of the U. S., have not over
looked the newspapers and have
made an order that the country
papers must reduce their consump
tion of print paper 15 per cent and
this order is effective September
15th. One request cf the board is
that all subscriptions which are not
renewed or paid in advance at the
time above mentioned, be discon
tinued. Heretofore, the Mist has been a
little slack In regard to subscriptions.
A majority of our subscribers paid
when it was convenient and this was
satisfactory to us, but under the
ruling of the War Industries board,
it is obligatory on us to collect in ad
vance, or discontinue the paper when
the subscription expires. All or our
delinquent subscribers will receive a
notice during the next two weeks and
the Mist asks a prompt response.
The news has been received that
a soldier boy from the immediate
vicinity of St. Helens, is dead in
France. The dead soldier. Walter
Nagle, was a volunteer and he ans
wered the final summons while In the
line of duty. Another St. Helens
boy is seriously wounded. Truly,
the horrors of war and the great
sacrifices inevitable are corninz

DON'T FORGET WE MAKE DAILY DELIVERIES
The one answer to the millions of
fathers and mothers whose sons are
over seas or on the way, to the wives
whose husbands are in the service, is
that the way to save lives Is to make
our army so great and bin anil tmwnr-
ful that It can and will overwhelm
Germany.
This Is costing money, much money,
and will cost much more; but the na
tion should not wolgh the cost when
so many lives are at stuke.
Germany Is at war as a nation.
France Is at war as a nation.
England Is at war as a nation.
And so America must be at war as
nation, man, woman and child.
Germany Is at the top of her
speed. She is using everything at
her command. She Is at, the limit of
her strength, with that strength
greatly reduced through the sacri
fices of England and France, but with
still euough fighting force to Inflict
a great deal of punishment upon the
nation that does not go over with an
overwhelming strength. ,
Our preparation should be so great
and so thorough that there will not
be the slightest quostlon of a doubt
as to what the result will be.
To accomplish this we need:
Ships.
Airplanes.
Munitions.
MEN.
Propaganda.
And Food Always.
Hhlps
I was told, by a good authority.
that for every thousand men we have
In France we need 2.000 tons of
shipping to keep them Buppllod in
food and munitions.
It is not for us as a people to say,
Let the ship builders do It:" or
"Why don't they speed up?" It Is
for us to remember that to build
ships requires men and materials,
requires money from the govern
ment and encouragement to our of
ficials.
It is for each of us to give that
encouragement; to let our representa
tives In Washington know that we ap
prove of a program of building all
the ships possible; to let men work
ing In the yards realize that thev. as
well as the men in the trenches, are
a very important part of this war,
and thut In speeding up their work,
in putting In every hour they can at
the building of boats, they are doing
more than serving themselves; more
than merely earning their wages;
they are serving the nation by help
ing to get the soldiers over there and
food and munitions with which to
supply thorn.
Airplanes, Munitions and Men
Every man or woman In America
working In an airplane plant or in
a munition plant is also a very vital j
part of this war.
We have been taught lessons In air
fighting, through our experience and
the experience of others In France
and in Belgium.
No one knows Just how the final
victory is coming, but every one must
know what are essentials to that vic
tory. There must be men In great num
ber along the battle front. There
must be munitions without limit, so
m; ny that our fighters will never be
without. There must be a rush
through.
This rush, however, should not
come with the terrible sacrifice thi
Germans have made In their efforts
to break through the western front.
With plenty cf materials It seems un
necessary that such a sacrifice should
be made. We can bo grateful that1
our generals hold life more sacred!
than to send their men to slaughter!
as the Germans have done. j
If our generals should find a weak- i
ening in the German lines nt any;
time, they can be depended on to!
take advantage of- the situation and !
go through. But If no voakenlng!
should be found, It will be possible!
ror our air finhters, when massed in
sufficient number and with plenty of
swift flying airplanes equlppod with
machine guns, to force an onenln
and to make such an attack on the
German lines as to scatter them. Then
our land forces can and will go
through, never stopping until Berlin
Is reached and the Kaiser and his
military clique brought to book.
Thousands upon thousands of air
planes and air fighters are needed
for this; munitions in such quantities
as was never produced before must
be turned out.
We owe It to the million or more
sons over there, to the millions of
mothers and fathers who sent them.
; not only to make the army one of
ueveiui in in ions nut to bend nnr
overy resource and energy at homo
toward winning this war and ending
it speedily. We must send over
enough soldiers and munitions so na
to leave no question whatever as to
the outcome.
Every citizen must realise this:
every worker In mill or plant must
know that our fighters over thnrn
cannot win unloss furnished with the
materials.
Every hour Is precious. The sol
diers at the front must be on dutv
M ill the time; the workers at home
should be no less faithful to their
taBks here. It means the lives of
their sons, brothers, chums aud
friends who have gone across. It
means the life and honor and future
cf our nation.
Mrs. Crlmnoiibvrk "Thought you
were going to give up a lot of things
during the war?"
Mr. Crlmsonbouk "That's my
idea.''
"Don't you suppose I can notice
your breath?"
"What's the mi.tter with my
breath?"
"Matter with It? Smolls as If
yau'd been hoarding cloves!"

MR. SHIPBUILDER?
THE advancement of on'e position in
any line of industry from employee to
EMPLOYEE depends almost as
much upon the clement "f Thrift as that
of Ability. One may be ever so capable
but unless a "nest egg" is saved up he has
little opportunity to reach the top of the
ladder.
We welcome the opening of accounts of
all sizes here at the Columbia County Bank
and you will find us ever ready to extend
a helping hand to the man who helps himself.
