Accounts Must be Settled.

Three times since the first of the year,
the Leader has sent out statements to
delinquent subscribers. In many cases
we have met with prompt returns in the
way of remittances. There are many
others, however, who have paid no atten-
tion to our appeals. To these we wish
to say that the newspaper business is
just like any Other-it takes more than
wind to conduct the same. This week
we are sending out another batch of
statements to our delinquent subscribers
and we trust that each one, upon the re-
ceipt of the same will respond promptly.
The individual accounts are not large,
but the sum total is a good sum. The
postal laws do not permit us to carry a
subscriber who is over one year in ar
rears. These accounts MUST be settled
and if not very soon, il will be necessary
to adopt the most drastic measures.
