Beginning with the issue of Fri
day, August 25th, the Rice Belt
Journal will be issued in the form of
of a seven column folio, instead of
the present six column quarto. A
number of causes are responsible for
the necessity of this change, the chief
of these reasons being constantly in
creasing demands resulting from
growing business.
While we need more room to ac-

paper has put ban on the issuance
Of a larger paper in its present form,
therefore the management OF the
Journal has decided to discontinue the
patent inside of the paper and in
crease the size of the home print
section.

pressions from patrons recently that

and a desire for further improve

improvement. On the other hand we
