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. It boosts for he town every week. It gives space to every cause that comes along, and he space it gives represnts money to the publisher Just as much as pork or beans or overcoats do to the merchant. 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. Many new members have signed the membership roll of the Home Bureau in the past two weeks.
