dhr fiigmtwr Sannrr ESTABLISHED 18SS. By W. C. B. HARRISON Published every Tuesday and Friday and entered in the Postoffice at Ligonier, Ind.. & • tecond class matter. mWlotige Postal Rates Bar Foreign Subscribers for County Newspapers The New postal law which went into effect Jul}’ Ist will work a hardship and a great disadvantage to puolishers of newspapers. In some instances the postal charge makes the mailing of a paper prohibitive. For instance if but one paper is mailed to the Bth zone it will cost the Banner 3% cents an issue or 61 cents a week. This is the new rate per pound or fraction thereof. The Banner is obliged to discontinue all subscriptions not paid in advance outside the second zone and subscribers residing in the other zones will takeithis as notice from the publisher of such action. Those who care to have the paper continued will send the additional postage. In some instances subscribers residing at a distance from Ligonier owe back subscriptions which should be paid. The publisher will take it as a favor if payment is made promptly as the money is hard earned and due him. To subscribers receiving their paper in Noble county the subscription price will, for the present at least, remain $1.50 the year in advance. The same subscription price may be maintained in the first and second zones which means within 150 miles of Ligonier. In the 3d zone, from 150 miles to 300 miles the subscription price is $1.75 in advance. Fourth zone from 300 to 600 miles $2 in advance. *

Fifth zone, 600 to $l,OOO miles $2.25 Sixth zone 1,000 to 1,400 miles $2.50. Seventh zone 1,400 to 1,800 $2.75. Eighth zone 1,800 and over $3 00. The postal rates increase each year for 4 years which will necessitate a revision of the subscription list of all newspapers each year. I Am The Baby 1 am the Baby.

INSIDE STORY OE THE WAR IN GERARD FILN

When on October 25, 1915, the Kai? ser shook his fist in the face of Ambassador James W. Gerard and told him that- after the war was ended he would stand no nonsense, from the United States, he did not realize that the patience of Americans would soon reach the breaking point. Tiie whole series of incidents, the plot and intrigue, the broken promises, the deliberate disregard of all the rights of a friendly nation in the insane desire to rule the world is clearly shown in the wonderfully vivid motion picture reproduction of Mr. Gerard’s book, “My Four Years in Germany.” • Here you see unrolled before you the whole page of history from the Zabern incident to the gathreing of the American Army over there.

Every Americans should see this picture so that he can better understand why American must stand united against this common foe. The picture will be shown at the Crystal theatre on Thursday and Friday July 11 and 12.

Teachers Get Increase Albion, Ind., June 27, 1918 Editor Ligonier Banner, Dear Sir: Will you kindly announce through your paper that the County Board of Education has passed a resolution, to pay all teachers in the County at least $5 per month more than their license grades warrant? All the township trustees but two have expressed their intention to pay at least $lO more on the month than the law requires. This will, 1 am sure, be of interest to the teachers of the County many of whom are now looking for positions outside the county. The publication of the County Board’s action in the matter may aid us in retaining most of them for the coming year Thanking you in advance for the trouble, I remain Yours very truly, G. R. Hall

Liberty Guards Drill

The Ligonier Liberty Guards are a fine body of men. The people of the city and country had an opportunity to judge Saturday night when the home guards drilled for an hour on Cavin street. Five traffic policeman under Marshal Showalter took good care of the immense throng and there was not an accident.

The guards will draw an immense crowd at their celebration July 4. They l^ave been drilling in susround ing towns and are met everywhere with enthusiasm. It is the purpose of thecelbration to secure money enough to pay for the uniforms which had to be supplied by the member. Attorney F. P. Bothwell subscribed $lO to the fund and others will, no doubt do likewise.

Insurance Adjusted

The insurance on the Weir & Cowley hardware stock and on the F. E. Weir •buildings has been adjusted and with the assistance of many kit d neighbors the big stock has been moved to the Stansbury building a few doors south. The insurance fell far short of covering the loss. Mr. Weir has carpenters at work repairing the big damage to his buildings caused by the tire. It is likely that Weir & Cowley will put on a special sale soon.
