COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
TIME EXTENDED
The editor of the Mist has been so
busy with Liberty Loan and olher
matters, that statements to delin
quent subscribers have not been sent
out, as we intended to do. We are,
therefore, going to extend the time
of renewals at the old rate of (1.60
per year for a short time longer and
until all of our subscribers can be
notified as to their account.

There was war for Independence,
There was war to free the slaves.
And now we're In another war,
With those "Huns" across the waves.
We are sending our noble laddies.
And we're 'knitting day and night;!
We are saving food to send them
So we'll swln In this great fight.
As the battles rage o'er yonder.
And our boys are falling fast;
How they fight with vim and vigor
For their country, till the last.
Tho' we cannot all be with them
On the battlefields of France,
We can dig into our pockets
And buy Thrift and Saving' stamps.

START TO WORK
It has been almost three weeks
since the schoolhouse fire and noth
ing has yet been done towards re
building the school or making plans
for another school building. In the
meantime, all temporary buildings
have been secured and fitted up at a
considerable expense. The Mist
realizes the hard position in which
the school directors were placed and
It has no desire to criticize. At the
same time, however. It might be sug
gested that plans be formulated for
the rebuilding of the old school or
the erection of a new school.. Jump
ing around from pillar to post and
spending several thousand dollars
on premises for only temporary use
should be avoided if possible. The
school directors, if unable to make
up their minds as to what course to
pursue, should call a mast; meeting
of the taxpayers and ascertain their
wishes.' Further delay is (inexcusable.
We are on the road to Berlin,
And we will not turn back
Till we hang old Bill the Kaiser
And his dirty Hunnlsli pack.
We will spank both Frltx and Heinle
good.
And teach them to behave,
And that In the twentieth century
No man can be a slave.
And when we have banged old Bill
the Kaiser,
And spanked the dirty crew;
We will turn right back for home
again.
And come right back to you.
By John Philip.

NOT WORTHY
The man who has been living in
this country for 33 years and has not
taken out his citizenship papers and
Is unwilling to return to the land of
his birth to fight for It, If necessary,
is not a person upon whom the rights
and privileges of citizenship should
be granted. If he Is not interested
In his native country or the country
in which he lives, he hasn't sufficient
interest in the work of this govern
ment to entitle him to work on gov
ernment ships at $7.00 per day. Not
only this, we do not believe he is a
safe man to hive around a shipyard
which is working on government con
tracts, for he is a traitor to his own
country and is lukewarm to the
country in which he lives. There
fore, he cannot be interested in the
war program of this country. Before
many months, it is possible that a
more rigid rule will be made by the
government as to who shall be per
mitted to work in or on government
works.
Tuesday's news dispatches told how
the American soldiers were fighting
on. "After three days' struggle
through the Germau's formidable de
fense of masonry, steel, wire and pit
falls, the first American army today
was fighting on. In the pourlrg rain
to the fourth and last line of German
defenses." Amerlcr.u soldiers fight
ing on, fighting on through ftie pcur
1ns rain, fighting on to the last line
o? defense. There's the story of the
American soldier, he is still fighting
on to the LAST LINE OF DEFENSE.
Comment Is unnecessary, but we who
stay at home might well asl; our
selves this question: "Are We Fight
ing On" to back up the soldiers we
have sent to defeud us?

The six o'clock and Sunday closing
suggested by the State Conucil of Do
lease is premature, to say the letyjt,
and that organization, which has for
j its purpose something more than the
'enforcement of the blue law, will
gain little by the agitation started.
The public sentiment will not be
theirs In this move and the best thing
Woodward or Kollock can do, Is to
postpone Indefinitely the action sug
gested. The Idea of conserving man
power is a good one, but "all work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
and it might also be taken into con
sideration that the ruling suggested
would deprive hundreds of honest
citizens of their means of a livelihood.

True, it has been expensive busi

wishes in advertising bond sales and j
other war activities. Like the soldier
in the trenches, the Oregon editor
has heeded the command of his coun-

Just why tire mayor should insist
that the taxpayers do not want a
public dock and at the same time
acknowledge that the people have
twice voted for such a dock, is a hard j

about this, but perhaps he formed
his opinion from his own opposition I
or else his pre-election statements. I
the country publisher can charge no
more than five cents per line. Jack
son, who has tried for years to dictate
to the press of Oregon, without re
sults, now would hound the country
editor out of business at the most
crucial hour in the history of the
country a time when, if ever, the
country needed to fulfill a moBt im

A reduction In rates cannot be met
by any newspaper at this time and
should not be asked. The present rate
Is the average charge the country
over, and no attempt has been made
and may be examined in the office
of the County Clerk.
