Notice to Our Subscribers

On and after January 1, 1909,
the subscription price of the
Saturday News will be advanced
from $l.OO per year to $3.50 per
year.
The management of the Satur-
day News has been considering
this proposition for the past
year. While we very much dis
like to make the change in the
price of the paper, we consider
it our duty in view of the eX-
dessive cost of print paper,
which is controlled by one of
the most giantic trusts in the
United States.
Local weekly papers all over
the country have advanced their
rates.
However, we will state in this
connection that we will have
something over 1000 subscrib-
ers by the first of the year and
it would work considerab BILE
hardship and expense to the
publisher to issue over that
number of ~ and 16 page
home print-- with our
present equipment at the old
rate.
