We received Wednesday morning
not less than seven or eight articles
for publication-enough to fill up
one whole side of the paper. Now,
We are always glad to get these COM
munications, as they help US make a
readable paper; but to get up page
of reading matter, or even a column,
on Wednesday, correct proofs and
print ten pages of the paper, besides
the work of folding and mailing,is
manifest impossibility, unless we
change our day of publication. At
top of editorial column we publish
every week notice that communi-
cations to go in the current issue
must be in our office not later than
Tuesday noon. Friends, won't you
observe this notice and help us to
get you the paper on time every
week? 1t is very hard work anyway,
this thing of getting out a paper in
August, and we do try to be accom-.
modating but there isa limit and our
motto is first come, first served"
We simply cannot get out a paper
the size of The Record in one day.
