Our Nation Is Now at War * "Am I My Brother's Keeper T This question from the Bible comes vividly to my mind as I think of the many American soldiers who are now, or soon will be on the firing line across the sea. In these troublous war times, when nearly every nation is en gaged in the greatest war the world has ever known, it is the duty of every true American citizen to keep him ? self informed as to what is really going on in the world. Mr. subscriber, have you a neighbor who is not taking any good paper? If so, when you have read this copy of The Herald you might do him and your Country a great favor to pass it along to him. Tell him that the price of The Herald is only $1.50 per year, and that it is published twice a week. Tell him that the editors try to give, as nearly as possible, a summary of the happen ings of County, State and Nation. Tell him that it is his patriotic duty to keep before him the happenings in this great conflict. ? W. L. E.
