THE PUBLIC's GAIN.
From Mahin's Magazine.

In 1900 the average cost to the public of
each copy of the newspapers and period
icals issued was a fraction less than !
cent O.9S cent?. Twenty years earlier the
average selling price per copy was "a
cents. In other words, there has been
gain in twenty years of over one-fourth
in the average size of publications issued,
while the average price is but two-iifths
as high.

THE REVIEW plant pays out the
largest amount of wages OF any manu-
featuring plant in Crawford county
More than & score of people are de-
pendent on its income for their bread
and bntter. Under the present system
of newspaper publication the subscrib-
er is asked to bear but fraction OF the
cost OF production, There is hardly a
newspaper in Iowa that could run three
months if dependent upon subscriptions
alone for its income. In other words
the people get their papers for less
than cost, the balance being made up
from advertising and other sources
Under the circumstances it would APP
pear that each subscriber should bear
this portion of the expense cheerfully
and promptly.
As before stated this is the only sub-
scriptlon talk we shall give in the col
umns of the REVIEW. We trust that
the justice and honesty of our state
ment will appeal to all and that Janu-
airy will be banner month for the
Great and Only. The REVIEW has the
best paid up subscription list in Iowa,
let all help to keep it so.

A Talk With Subscribers.

| January is the great subscription
month for the weekly paper. We hope
our subscribers will remember US gen
erously. The REVIEW has abandoned
the course adopted by so many papers
of continually dunning its readers
through its columns. 1t is disagreeable
reading, it simply sticks pins into the
delinquent and bores the man who has
paid to get news, not seedlings in his
local paper. The delinquent subscrih-
en- is no worse than the man who is in
debt to his grocer, his baker, his candle
stick maker. There is no reason why
he especially should be held up to pub
lie obloquy. 1t is business PROPOSE
tion only. If we are convinced that d
man does not intend paying for his pa
per we have the privilege of discontn-
uing his paper and trying to get our
money through lawyers or collection
agents.
The subscription price of papers is
so small today in comparison with corn
or hogs or cattle or any of the products
of the farm that every man can afford
to pay for his paper promptly. 1t is an
encouragement to newspaper, it
gives it funds for needed improvements
and enables it to start the year in good
heart and courage, if its subscribers
show the proper spirit and pay early
in January. Whatever further we may
have to say to our subssri bers relative
to the financial question we shall say
to them personally through the mails.
A newspaper should be more than a
collection agency for its own accounts,
and it has no moral right to hold its
delinquents up to ridicule simply be-
cause it has the power and the oppor-
tunity.
One more thought and we will close
our homily on the subscription pro-
take the paper unless you pay for it.
Many people seem to feel that the kon-
Or of having their illustrious names on
the subscription roll is sufficient rec
ompense for the publisher; still others
| feel that the debt is paid if they vote
the party ticket. Legitimate newspa.
per business has passed the stage when
a large list of unpaid and non-paying
subscriptions is desirable quantity
We remember the motto of one of the
best merchants ever in Denison-''M v
friends trade with me-" The best
friends do not simply loaf about the
store they trade: and trade, desirable
trade, implies payment Our friends
will not simply loaf around on the sub
scription list, they will not only be
subscribers, but good paid Up subscrib-
ers. If the paper does not suit you and
you feel that it is not worth its three
cents a week to you pay up and stop it
at once. If you want the paper but
can't pay for it just at this time let u2
know just when you can pay it-live up

The Day After Christmas

Twas the day after Christmas
The gifts were presented
And infantile stomachs
More sweetmeats resented.
The drum, all unsounded.
Lay close by the bed
And dollie lay wounded
With cracks in her head
The tree was deserted,
The candles burned down
Had scattered their drippings
Of tallow around
Father counted his kerchiefs
And exc his scarce pence
And wondered when folks
Would begin learning sense.
And out in the kitchen
Ma jingled the spoons;
Her temper that morning
Was like the typhoons.
There were blocks in the chairs
And crumbs on the floor
And the sitting room couldn
Have held one toy more.
The mobile was wrecked
Without its Chauffeur
And the woody white dog
Had lost its off ear.
The black bear lay idle,
Its air bulb was gone
The clown and the monk
Were defect and forlorn.
But auntie declared
With a smile on her face
Twould not be much work
To red up" the place,
And that after all
The Christmas had joys
That fully repaid
All the litter and noise.
And when they remembered
The baby's bright eye
AS he peered about, seeking
If Sanity" was nigh,
When they heard once again
Those shrieks of delight
That followed mysterious
Santa Claus night,
They forgot all the bother
And greatly | fear
The dear, jolly saint
Will be "encored" next year.
