The herald asks for and
needs the support of the citizens
of Monmouth and vicinity. To
keep up a newspaper in a com
munity is not a one-man task,
but requires the aid of the citi
zens of the community.
We huve sent and will send
out statements to the patrons
who are in arrears and will be
pleased to have them respond
promptly, those who can do so,
that we raav have the means to
meet our expenses, but where it
is not convenient for the patron
to respond just now, we do not
wish them to withdraw their
patronage on that account as it
decreases our circulation and
in ikes the future outlook un
certain. The price of the Hkr
alu is $1.50 per year, but a per
son takiug a second copy can
have it or additional copies for
one dollar each, per year.
We also need your aid in
gathering in the news. If you
have a news item let us have it.
We cannot get the news unless
we are informed as we cannot
see and hear all the happenings
and we must depend largely up
on others.
Let us pull together for a bet
ter paper and a better and more
prosperous Monmouth.

every great harvest field of the

The bare necessities in cloth
ing and food would be a boon in
Belgium. Warm blankets to
shield shivering bodies from the
bitter cold of a winter night,
bacon and Hour and other food
stuffs and stout shoes and under
clothing and woolen garments
would be salvage and succor in
a desolated nation where hunger
stalks and human suffering has
reached the supremest climax.
Starving Belgium is a call to
us of Oregon from across the
waters to still our complaints. It
is more. It is an appeal for us
to share with the stricken from
our abundance. Portland Journal.
mitic, in caverns, and some of it
is formed by springs. Its varia
tions in color and ttxture, to
which its ornamental character
is largely due, are commonly
produced by impurities or inclu
sions, such as oxide of iron, or
even mud and clay.
A Starving Nation
In Oregon, there has been
some complaint about economic
conditions. What about Bel
gium? More than 7,500,000
people lived in Belgium. They
are now a starving nation. They
have but a few days' supply of
food, and it is food supplied by
charity.
A million of these people are
refugees in England, France and
Holland. But more than six
million people still remain facing
the common fate of famine.
Some have died in night; some
lie buried under their ruined
homes. Babes have perished
for lack of milk, invalids from
hardships, the weak from grief
and privation and the aged from
cold and exposure.
The land is scarred and deso
lated. Its crops were trampled
down by inarching armies. Its
cattle were seized for army sub
sistence. The great stores of
food, laid by for emergencies,
became the prize of battle. Cities
are in ruins. The countryside
is as a primitive desert. The
acrejs of former plenty are blood
bathed and seamed with unfilled
trenches. The day in Belgium
is a night of horror.
In all history, Europe has
seen no spectacle so awful. Not
in modern times has the world
beheld so many men reverted to
the primitive type and moved
by such cyclonic passions of
ferocity. Not in a century has
civilization seen 6,500,000 peo
Now that Oregon has gone
dry that part of the battle is
over and the victory is won.
However, there will still he work
for progressive men and women
to do. There will be no en
forcement of the Law, after the
legislature has attached penalties
for violation thereof, except
there is the right kind of senti
ment behind the measure. The
trouble with most of us is this,
we like to see laws enforced but
we want to see some other per
son do the disagreeable part.
We want them to do the en
forcing. Are we willing to swear
out a warrant when it becomes
necessary to enforce the law?
Generally speaking it is "Let
George do it" when it comes to
making complaint. The en
forcement of the law will largely
ilepend on the effort of the citi
zens who favor law enforcement,
and the best way, perhajis, will
be for them to organize for that
purpose Officers feel better in
enforcing the law when they
have a good, hearty sentiment
of the citizens behind them.
Now that the election is over
we might consider the interests
of our little city. What can we
do to improve it? Of course
winter is upon us but if we can
not do much now we can lay
plans for the future and work to
them. There is nothing worth
while accomplished without
thought, backed up by energy.
Who will be the first to propose,
not to your best girl, although
we have no objections to that if
you want to, but something for
the benefit and improvement of
Monmouth.
Through some aberation of
the mind, two weeks ago, we
wrote the word "no" in the sum
ming up of the need of voting
for the prohibition cause. How
ever the statement that went be
fore was such as to make our
position clear. We did not dis
cover the error until it was
called to our attention.
Origin of Onyx
When waters charged with car
bonate of calcium derived from
limestone are allowed to evaporate
they deposit their load in the
form of sinter,, or tufa. This
process can be observed at many
thermal and "petrifying" springs
and also in the formation of
stalactites and stalagmites in
limestone caverns. In this .way
large masses of compact carbo
nate are formed, some of them
of great beauty. The so-called
"onyx marbles," of which the
Mexican "onyx" is a familiar
example, are formed in this way,
