7 ¥ The Mail is short of news items this week on account of uii accident which happened to the editor on Tuesday morning. While helping Dr. Beauchamp do some extra cutting of surgic al cloth, on our paper cutter, we slipped the middle finger of our right hand under the cutter, and bingo, we are minus a finger nail and a part of our finger. We are still on the job. but when it comes to setting type and ads we are handicapped. Being short on help the editor has to take the place of the “ devil,” printer and general roust-about. We can make a good stab at playing the "devil” and the roust-about position sort o ’ “ fits our calling.” but when it comes to setting type with a sore finger—we are out of the game right now. However, we are making ample provisiods for help, and hope to give our read ers the usual amount of news next week. The work on the Methodist parsonage is just about complet ed. Four rooms have been ad ded. a kitchen and bath room down stairs and a minister’s study and bed room up stairs. The work has been nearly all do nated by members o f the church. Rev. Horn and family have mov ed in and with one or two excep tions the work is completed. S P E C IA L Morning services in the M. E. Church on Sunday as usual. At 7 p. m., our District Super intendent, will conduct the Fourth Quarterly Conference. Have all reports in please. At 8 p. m. Dr. Ford will preach. Come and hear a sermon worth while. rvw \. urmn ruinn c\r\r. n nruv «1 v ii u rxnnn-vn LET THIS SOAK IN Beginning July 1st, 1918, pos tal rates on newspapers were raised in amounts varying from 25 to 200 per cent, according to the distance carried. These rates will apply only until July 1st, 1919: from then until July 1920, the increase will be from 50 to 400 per cent, and so on. In other words, newspapers which are carried to California at the cent a pound rate, will -cost 8 cents a pound. Listen, dear reader—are you paid up on subscription? We aent cut a number of small bills a few weeks ago and have been very successful in receiving re turns from some o f them. The law says: Every subscrip tion must be paid in advance—Is your oubscription paid in ad vance? Look it up and help us keep square with Uncle Sam. Help make the world safe for d em ocra cy by giving your non a good education. Mt. A ngel C ollege, St B enedict, Ore. A ddress T. I.
