WESTON LEADER CLARK WOOD, Publisher The Year $1 50 Six Months 75 Four Months 50 FKID&T, JAM. II 1911 Enttrrd at the poftoffice at Helton. Oregon fecond-cU( mail matter. La Follette was merely expelled from a club when lie ought to have been hit with one. The Bullclogger ed. is on a vaca tion,' which his wearied readers hope will continue indefinitely and so on ad infinitum. The defunct army captain who said he "hated to do it" before kill ' ing four bank officials with an axe, has never received the slightest meed of credit for his humane and considerate remark. - The Uolsehkivi balk at allowing Germany to make peyc without letting go of the pieces. What isn't in a name is indicated 1 l e U "Von ri'Alunc oy uitr xaci umi a- v u ..v.. mine called the Success is quite evi dently a failure. , - Anyhow, Newton I), linker is trying hard to demonstrate that he is secretary of war instead of a tennis club. The Leader uses a plain board box as a waste basket, but it is big enough to hold the contributions of candidates who are looking for free advertising. , In trying to get Russia out of the war the Bolsheviki will probably not succeed in getting the war out of Russia. ' This country's real mettle will Dot be known until it h. fighting hardship as well as the German.',. Statistics ar riot available, but it is thought that Weston did a larger volutin of bur-iusfc in 1017 than The Leader's subscription list will be placed on a cash-in-advance basis March 1, 191S. After that date no papers will be mailed that are not paid for in advance. Long experience has convinced us that this is the only system which is just to both subscriber and publisher. We trust that those of our friends who are interested in the maintenance of a pioneer newspaper in a pioneer town will cheerfully respond. Although the cost of publication has increased, the Leader's subscription rate continues at the same figure, $1.50 per year. CLARK WOOD, Publisher ever before in its history. 'I he thriving trade dene ly its two leading stores contributed not ti little tit this happy result. The obvious conclusion is that the busi ness is here and that the local mer chants merely have to develop suffi cient pep t0 K't "m' no''1 While drenching Oregon and Washington, Jupiter has ignored California, which shows that he must have been misled by the wet and dry statistics. He who has never known the joy of generous giving in this, the hour of his country's need has saved nothing and lost much- if there be any profit in soul development. The Under man feels a positive sense of reilef this week, as though he had gotten rid of a painful bun ion or an aching tooth. His ela tion was explained when he remem bered that the Pendleton f!ulld"g gcr failed to make its usual unwel come appearance. The U. of 0. professor who re signed because he couldn't live on 31000 a year, would better not start a country newspaper. Uncle Sam ought to outlast the Teuton, because he has a much better constitution. Having given the county faithful and intelligence sevrice in the low er liouV, Roy Ki liter is justified in his ambition to step up. In killing thirty-eight of their officers those German sailors final ly turned the Teutonic homicidal mania in the right direction. Nick having escaped, somebody and it may as well be us is tore to say that he i.i Romanoff".

WESTON'S BIG STORE EARNS SIXTEEN PERCENT Tin- annual meeting of the Wc ton Mercantile Company was held Wednesday in Masonic hall, and Mi IHT'-ent of the stock was represent ed in the voting.

A cash dividend of eight percent was declared, and eight percent was passed to reserve. The stockholders showed their appreciation of the successful con duct of the store's affairs by extend ing a vote of thanks to Manager Williams.
