Every resident of the county will have an op
portunity to place themselves on record this week as
to whether they are willing to co-operate with the
' High School Cadets or not. The boys are out to make
a campaign for money to pay for their uniforms and
to defray the expenses of their camping trip next
year. They are not coming to you in the guise of
beggars, but they are coming as one business man
comes to another. They come with an article of
value that they want to sell you. They are going to
give you an opportunity to purchase a copy of The
Honor Roll of Klamath County, a publication that
no patriotic home in the county can be without. They
will not ask you to pay an expensive price for this
book. What you pay for it just barely covers the
actual cost. The few cents over that amount the
boys are going to put into their treasury to be used
for the purposes stated above.
The Honor Roll of Klamath County needs no
eulogy. It speaks for itself. Enclosed within its
covers will be the pictures and records of those who
helped to win the war those at home and those who
shouldered their guns and went to the front ready
and willing to lay down their lives that those they left
behind might still possess the blessings of a free
American government. Its publication will always
stand as the brightest page in the histoiy of The
Evening Herald. It is a work of which this paper is
proud and it is with a Reeling of pride that it offers it
to the people of Klamath County. It never has urged
its purchase, for it has always believed it a privilege
for anyone to own a copy. There will be no extra
copies printed. Only those signing an order for a
copy of it will receive one. When the subscription
date is closed, it will not be reopened and no amount
of money or solicitation will enable anyone to get a
copy of the book. It will never be reprinted and it
is on this understanding that the books are sold. It
will thus make the book invaluable to those who will
be fortunate enough to secure a copy.
