Government Regulates
The government is going to
have a word to say as to how
newspapers are operated, how
much paper they use, etc., in or-
der to make a saving of paper.
The War Industries Board has
issued a set of rules, which the
publishers must abide by. One
of the orders is that subscrip-
tion* must be put on a cash in ad-
vance basis, so if any reader of
the Record suddenly fails to get
his paper, he had better renew
his subscription.
Below we give a summary of
rules issued by the War Broad to
newspapers:
Every publisher of a four or
an eight-page paper, as well as
every publisher of a larger size
than these must at once conform
to rules I to 13.
Every publisher must see to it
that he does uot use anything
heavier than news priut of a ba-
sis of 24x36 32.
All discontinue all subscrip-
tions that are more than three
months in arrears, and must con-
tinue to drop any subscriber who
becomes three months in arrears.
All must discontinue the free
list if tluy have such, other
than the exceptions provided for
in ruie No. 3.
All must watch the overruns
and confine them to not more
than ten copies.
All must discontinue any ex-
change copies that are being
mailed outside of the county or
outside of a radius of 40 miles.
All publishers who are now
selling their papers at a purely
nominal price, anything less than
$1 a year is recognized as a nom-
inal price must increase his price.
All must discontinue selliug at
less than regular subscription
price.
All must discontinue voting
contests to increase subscription
lists.
All must discontinue issuing
any holiday oi other special edi-
tions.
No new papers are to be es-
tablished except where the ar-
rangements for them were made
before the issuing of this order,
or unless it can be shown to the
war indnstries board that an act-
ual necessity exists for such a
new paper.

We Must Ke p Going.
Oklahomans must not relax in
their efforts to make this state
among the first in War Savings
accomplishment. Sales for the
past month have not been in
keeping with the records of Jnne
and July. The Oklahoma War
Savings Committee has. issued
an appeal to every worker ask-
ing renewed and more energetic
efforts in obtaiaing subscrip-
tions.
The United States and its Al-
lies will win, but victory must
come through saving. France
has been able to stand up under
a terrific pressure largely
through the thrift of its people.
We must do likewise. Krmein-
ber your duty to your country in
this crisis and invest your sav-
ings in War Savings Stamps.
Do without unnecessary things
and give your country and the!
noble cause the benefit of such
sacrifice.
You are lucky if you get Har-
rison to work on your car. A

AT THE COUNTER
Hold Your Liberty Bond
'THE effort to separate Liberty Bond holders not familiar with
* sti ck and bond values from their Liberty Bonds has taken
a new turn. The manipulators instead of offering to buy the
bonds at inadequate prices offer in exchange for them the stocks
and bonds of various wi.dcat corporations, whose face vale is
large but whose actual value is little or nothing.
T^HE safest investment in the world is a Liberty Bond For a
* patriotic American, Liberty fonda are the best investment
the world. It is not only a wise thing to hold them it is a patriot-
ic thing to do. The solditr who takec a trench aiid then volun-
tarily giver it up is not to be compared with one who takes a
taues a trench and holds it against the enemy. An American
who buys a Liberty Bond and then sells it is not so good an
American as one who buys a bond and holds it. This does not
apply, however, to one se'ls his bona because of real necessity;
there is legitimate trading in Liberty Bonds which the Treasury
recognizes.
T w as a wise a patriotic old colored American who refused to
sell his $100 Liberty Bond for $96. because he would not give
up his United States' promise (his bond) to pay him $100 with
interest for the United States' promise (currency) to pay him
$96, and who lefused to sell the same bond for $102, because he
said, the $102 mnst be counterfit or else the would-be purchaser
would not be willing to give it up for only $100. It is safe to
say that there are no gold bricks or v/ildcat securities among
that American's assets.

Troy Stansbury, Prop.
Phone 30 Canton, Okla.
He is one of the busiest men in the world—the "Y" man at the counter. He is as much a part of the military
scheme of things as "chow" and taps. At least the soldier thinks so. The counter is crowded all the time, and
the man at the counter proves his versatility by answering a thousand varieties of questions, selling stamps, giving
advice, distributing stationery, helping the boys send money home, passing out good cheer, handing out literature,
aud doing ail the other things that a "Y" man is expected to do. •
This is a typical counter scene in a Y. M. C. A. hut. The picture was taken at Camp Pike, near Little Rock, Ark.,
one of the large cantonments of the country.
