tember 1S last by the worst slide in
it's history. will be opened again for
the passage of vessels drawing less
than twenty feet tomorrow, when ten
ships. three from the Atlantic end and
seven from the Pacific end, make the
passage
Exceptional progress, aided by good
weather conditions, made during the
last thirty-six hours enabled the canal
engineers and dredgemen to upset the
prediction that the canal would not
again be opened to traffic before next
spring. Providing that no further earth
slides occur. the canal will be ready
for the transit Of vessels of all drafts
shortly after the first of the year.
Vessels that will pass through to-
morrow are the Newport. the Harri-

The Greek elections tomorrow appear
not likely to be serious factor in the
situation, as the refusal of the follow :
ers of ex-Premier Venizelos to partici-

policy. But the threat of a German

vides numerous possibilities for up

Why Cash i'm Advance
For Subscriptions?

For several reasons, but to the man
who is inclined to be fair it is only
necessary to advance these two:
The country weekly's field is limited.
1t has only two sources Of revenue
space in its columns for sale and sub
scriptions. Both must pay, or else
the paper does not prosper. There
is no compromise. Credit for sub
scriptions, even for year, represents
loss; and where publisher con-
tinues the practice year in and year
out he only encourages its growth.
1t he would get what he earns he must
demand cash in advance for subscrip-
tions-for each and all Of them
Some have made 1t practice after
securing the paper for year on
credit Originally paying only dol
:. lar) to then order it in the name Of
some other member of the family.
Some men would thus run the whole
family string Of names, paying only
dollar every other year in the name
of the new % subscriber, if the man
agement Of this Office was not watch
full enough to detect the trick and
discontinue sending the paper when
subscriptions are not renewed.
Those are two of the reasons that
have forced US to announce the cash
in-advance policy with the beginning
of another year. 1t SINNERS down to
this. We want what we are earning
and are justly entitled to-.
