the cooperation of all communuity interests, and a sub

REGARDING COMMUNICATIONS
The Herald is anxious to become a newspaper of real
interest to its readers, and every effort will be made to
accomplish this purpose. Signed communications from
subscribers and readers will be gladly received and if
space an ¿interest permits, they will be published. The
general policy of newspapers and periodicals everywhere
is that all communications printea shall bear the signa
ture of the writer, although if the request is made, the
signature need not appear in the paper. Such is the
policy of the Herald.
*
Interesting letters from the readers will always receive
the careful attention of the editor, and it is hoped that
with this reminder of the policy regarding anonymous
communications, the Herald may become a spokesman
for the people.
The people who go away from Hermiston to buy the
same goods they could get at home for the same or less
money, do not seem t ovalue their own time very highly.
Our home town calls on vs to take hold and push it
along with our own effort ar.d muscle, instead of sitting
on the fence and advising how it should be pushed.
Well, there’s one good thing—the bootleggers can't
use liquor if it gets much worse than it now because it
will eat holes in the bottles.
Our feet are made to walk with along the path of pro
gress, and not primarily for kicking.

OUR NEW GAME
The girls of the seventh grade are
now playing a new game. We are
playing bean bag. The children made
the bean bags and Mr. Warner made
the targets. Buddy Prime helped him
make them. We have played five
games already. It's very interest
ing to play bean bag. Each target
has a mouth, ,a nose and two eyes.
If you throw the bean bag In the eye
of the target It counts fifteen points
If you throw it In the nose it counts
ten and In the mouth five.
There are two sides to the game.
The sides are just the same as they
are in basketball. Each side is divi
ded Into two groups each. The sides
each have a target. The two groups
each take turns in throwing the bean
bbag.
