We occasionally hear complaints because
we fail to use locals sent rs on Monday
morning and we would remind the people
that locals must be sent to us on Saturday
to be sure Of being put Up. We are obliged
! to discontinue setting type at & certain
| hour Monday regardless OF whether the
matter is all up or not as unless we do this
we cannot catch the mail and although we
have very large force of help for Monday
morning, we cannot put the whole paper
mp at that time. IF notices of meetings
are to be Of value to the parties, those who
are interested in them should certainly be
willing to see that they are given to the
| publisher in time SO that ne can put them
| up. If they do not get them in until late,
we viii do the best we can with them but
as we have before stated, we cannot always
use them.
