Tri. Weekly Courier
Will Go To Cash
In Advance Basis
Watch Date on
Label on Paper
Do Not Let Your
Subscription Expire

More than year ago the circula-
ton of the Ottumwa Daily Courier
was put on q cash in advance basis.
It has been found to be very satisfac-
tory to both the subscribers and the
publisher.
For years it had been the general
custom of the country for publishers
to send a paper till the subscriber
sent a written order to the Office to
stop 1t. Some publishers would hard
ly stop paper even when told to do
so by letter, but there are not many
of that kind left now.
About ninety per cent of the sub.
scription list of the Ottumwa Tri-
Weekly Courier is now paid in ad-
the letters we receive from sub
scribers, that they prefer to pay for
all their papers in that way and then
have the papers stop unless the sub,
scriber sends in the money to pay for
it.
Almost everyone prefers the ad-
vance payment, then they are not
paying for any dead horse" and they
do not have to worry for fear a bill
will be run up on them.
Hundreds Of people prefer the Daily
Courier to any other daily, and one OF
the reasons they give is that it "stops
when the time is out, then when want
it started again send In the money
to pay for it, and I'm never owing any
thing for my paper"
The government postal department
has made ruling that subscriber to
tri-weekly publication who is more
than six months in arrears Is not en-
titled to receive the said paper and
that the publisher must not send such
paper for a term longer than six
months without pay.
The publishers Of the Tri-Weekly
Courier have tried to live up to the
six months term allowed by the gov.
eminent, but find that in spite of the
closest watching, there will be few
names get past the six months limit
This makes it unfair for both the sub.
scriber and publisher, and it has been
decided to put the circulation OF the
Tri-Weekly Courier on the same basis
of all the larger daily papers of the
state-that Is on cash in advance
basis-this pleases the subscriber be-
cause he Is not being continuously
called upon to pay up back bills. He
pays when he starts the paper and
then the publisher notifies him just
before his subscription expires, and ii
he wants the paper continued, he
sends in another payment. But If the
subscriber does not want the paper
continued, he does not have to write
to the ONCE to have 1t stopped because
it will be stopped anyway unless 1t is
paid for.
So we want our subscribers to con
tinue tak,-g the paper, because we
know they get better paper than any
one else can give them for the money
better markets, better editorials.
better continued stories, better local
news. better baseball and sporting
news-and we ask that if your sub.
scription is not paid in advance, please
send to the Courier, Ottumwa, Iowa
an amount s-'ff1cient to pay your sub
scription ahead. Look at the date on
the label on your paper, and 1t will tell
you when your subscription expires.
Please attend to this at once.

STRAW ON CONSERVATION.
PinchOt's Friends See n Taft Move
in Ships Change.

Thomas r. Shipp resigned yesterday as
secretary of the National Conservation
Association. The association is pre-
sided over by Clifford Pinchot DR..
Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard. was the first president. Mr..
Shipp lives in Indianapolis, and formerly
was private secretary to Senator Bever-
idge.
Clifford Pinchots friends say the re-
tirement from the National Conservation
Association of Secretary Shipp is sig
nifcant of a general plan by friends of
the Taft administration TO start a rival
organization which has a propaganda
for conservation work that will over
shadow Mr.. Pinchot's association. Mr..
Shipp is going back TO Indianapolis to
become permanent secretary of the Ma
tional Conservation Congress and open
headquarters there December l.
The conservation congress met last
summer in Kansas City and elected ]. B.
White. a wealthy lumberman and a
friend of President Taft, as president
for next year. Some of Mr.. Pinchot' s
followers ~'ieve that the rival organi-
zation is to punish him for his zeal in
promoting Senator La Follette's candi-
daCy.
Two of Clifford Pinchot's associates in
the conservation association are now in
President Taft's Cabinet. These are
