With this issue we enter upon Vol­ ume 40, No. 1 which, means the Her .aid as an institution in this com' munity has served its purpose for thirty-nine full years. If we have the history corfect there have been few issues missed since the foundation back in the seventies. During tha t time many Eave served at the editorial ,desk. There was Northup, Miller, Graham, Galvin, Blair, Woolpert, Ramsey, Harper and probably one or two otters. ( I t was in April, 1899, that the pres­ ent editor became associated with Frof, J, Robb Harper in this venture, the latter severing his connection a t the end of a year. Thus it will be eighteen years since the writer first took up this work, I t is by fa r the longest stewardship of any. of the long list of former owners. The years' back have been pleasant ones even though .they a t times were marked* with unpleasantness and dis­ couragement. We have no regrets to record and enter upon the present year ,with the hope that the* experi­ ence of the past will only strengthen Us for the future. : W(e have seen many chafiges in the past seventeen years. The “town and community have prospered.- Her in­ stitutions have a more prominent place in the world. The youths of those days are now matured men serving in places of ‘honor .and dis­ tinction in all parts of the country..^- As the community has prospered so have we prospered and greatful are we for this support which we- have honestly and earnestly ,endeavored to merit. The Herald enters upon its fortieth year wishing each reader and patron a Merry, Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. THE AVERAGE MAN'S BURDEN. After the era of phenomenal prices passes, never more, it is to be hoped, to return, it wili be Illuminating to watch for tbe man who comes out of it with the increment add- "Reasonable Prof­ its*' an Food and Inflated Pricaa Which Consumers Must Pay.. • must be poorer. that is, who among ;0Ulr .^'feilbw men are the richer for the ordeal. Need­ less totequlye who Surely that is the man with the inflexible income. That there will he "Increment goes -without saying. Money, was made at normal prices by somebody in the deal of eiiter; ing to human wants. Higher and ever higher prices finally lodge profit in somebody’s bands. Apparently the chance for profit doesn't drop away just because raw materials, are higher. Take the manufacturer of ready food­ stuffs. He adds a good 20 per cent to the retail price and reduces the quanti­ ty of the same unit upon which the price advances 15 to 20 per cent, so that In order-to have the same food value the consumer must really pay 85 to 40 per cent more than a year or two ago. m i l e the price of milk advances inly 1 cent a quart, the city caterer, who divides it into individual portions by the glass or bowl, adds 5 cents on each portion and gets 10 and even 15 cents increase to balance the one ceht increase which he has to pay. This is one instance. •> Others might be cited, for meat portions, whether served at tho counter or the restaurant table, and the baker’s portions travel the same road. Apparently there was much charity being gone in the name of Mi**, i t fU liroflte. now- lu sight for souleltody somewhere Trains that do not come finder the Head of "reasonable profits." Whoever gets them. It seem-* certain that they will come from the average man's purse, CHEWING GUM SOLACE. The fact that 80,000,000 package* of chewing gum were chewed up during the month of September in England alone goes to substantiate the state­ ment made a few MMW OHIONEWSGOT TOTHEQUICK Gum Chewing May B« a Wholesome, if Not a Useful, Habit. weeks a§o that the habit bad’"become an epidemic in tho war z o n e . The habit is also said to have ‘‘caught on” with the Chinese. The 'reason originally given for the rapid'spread of the gum chewing tiubit In Europe was .that the masses -find It a nerve bracer. The long days and weeks and months of waiting, with nerves keyed for tragedy, while hoping for Joy giv­ ing victory, led,people to want to seem busy all tbe time. At any rate, they wanted their minds occupied, and every schoolgirl knows how admirably jaws-and mind work together on all sorts of nerve trying occasions. Some persons shut their jaws, hard or com­ press their lips to control emotions and nerves. A quid of gum Is something to -shut the jaws upon, and adepts in the a rt of making the morsel do. the work of general solace manipulate it otherwise in a manner which any spec­ tator must conclude gives the chewers’ minds wholesome If not altogether use­ ful and serious occupation. Doubtless the habit- will spread to the trenches apace, where- It will be much better to obdw gum between showers of shells and liquid fire and gas than to “chew .the rag” of gloom, better a t least for the sanity of the mind. Baron Sakatani of Japan, an econo­ mist expert of the orient, said recent­ ly that no country can escape the ef­ fects of the financial and Industrial depression certain to take place after the,big war. Preparation, the baron says, will do no good. No country can isolate Itself while othSr countries are staggering under terrific burdens. This has been the experience after every great war, and It Is wisdom for peo­ ple Individually to take heed that pros­ perity may vanish and rainy days afe ahead. , Or-tals and legislators in the Chi­ nese i public wear coats and trousers of European cut. which speaks well for the heathen’s transformation. Citi­ zens of the .first republic -of France adopted trousers and stovepipe hats h$ a protest against Uie cues, powdered wigs and knee breeches of the old order.’ With the Prince Albert in vogue in China the smock must go.
