NOTE FROM THE BURGESS
Mr. W. F. Balsbach, editor Bellwood Bulletin: It is with regret we note the suspension of the publication of the Bellwood Bulletin for the duration of the present war.  We understand your situation and can only say we live with hope to see the time the Bulletin will be in circulation again.  The Bulletin was an essential part of our community and will be sadly missed.
EDGAR McKINNEY,
Chief Burgess.

LAST ISSUE UNTIL THE CLOSE OF THE WAR
As announced in our edition on March 25, this will be the last issue of the Bulletin until the close of the frightful war which has raged world-wide for the past few years.  It is all brought about due to the fact that we can’t get efficient help to carry on until the world again regains its senses and normal condition.  The war and big industry has taken all available young men, and when it is realized that four of our former employees are now enlisted in the services of the nation, it can readily bee seen the position that faces us.  For some time past we have been operating with girl help, and even the girls are called into activities of the government and other work.  Along with hundreds of our subscribers and citizens we regret that we cannot no longer go forward and publish the Bulletin each week all on account of a shortage of help.

Everybody is praying that the awful condition in which the world has been plunged, all on account of a few fanatics, will soon come to a close, when humanity can again resume, the even tenor of its way and move forward without fear or molestation.

We earnestly hope to be able to resume publication just as soon as the war closes and the boys “come marching home”.  Help will then be available and from plans made before hostilities started, one of the soldier boys will become interested in the publication and the Bulletin will go forward bigger and better than ever.

In the meantime, the publisher will continue to do a general line of job printing and all favors extended will be thankfully received and the work executed as quickly as possible.  The publisher will also continue to serve the public as justice of the peace and can be found in his office every business day.  Again thanking our many friends for the kind works, written and spoken, over the suspension of publication, I remain
Sincerely yours,
W. F. BALSBACH.
