arc about 15,000 are conducting an
organized drive for subscriptions.
They aim principally to get as sub­
scribers people who formerly lived in
the community and who have moved
away. These people ought for their,
own good to keep in touch with the
old home own and they can do so
only by reading the paper which
covers the news occuring there. In-
cidently of course it will be to the
profit of the paper to have hese peo­
ple on the list.
The campaign also proposes to get
present subscribers to pay their sub­
scriptions and to get people living
in the comunity to become subscrib-
ers. To do this it shoul dbe necessary
only to call attention to what the
home paper does for the town.

good town, look at the advs." That
is the comment wherever it goes.
People Judge the town by the news­
paper published in it. And this Is
a fair way to judge the town for if
the paper is getting proper support
it is sure to be good and if it is not
getting support it cannot be.
The Herald is doing what it can to
advance the Interests of Hermiston
and to be a good advertisement for
the town wherever It goes. If it
got more support it would be a better
advertisement for the town; if it got
less support it would be a poorer one.
Even if the paper were not entitled
to have all the back subscriptions
paid up wouldn't it be worth the two
dollars Just to have a little better ad­
vertisement going forth to the world
every week, not to mention having a
better paper to read yourself?
The office will be open every day
to recetve subscriptions. If you are
in town Friday or Saturday don’t
let the fact that the week doesn’t
start till Monday discourage you. The
Money will be good o us when it
comes, and you will be sure of get­
ting value received for it.
