Cash IN ADVANCE
plan TO Be ADOPTED
On October 18th, 1916, the Big Sandy
News Subscription List Will be on a
New Basis, and the Paper will be
Sent Only until the Date Paid in Ad-
vance.
COST OF PRoDUc-
TON FORCES THIS CHANGE

AS announced in the above headline
the Big Sandy News will change its
policy in handling the subscription list
We are compelled either to increase the
subscription to $3.50 per year or to take
steps that will stop all leaks and waste.
We hope by doing the latter to keep
the subscription price at one dollar
We are making announcement of our
new policy several months in advance
of its adoption so that all our friends
and subscribers will have ample time
to get on the new basis.
1t has been customary from time
immemorial' almost, for country pa
pers to extend credit to subscribers and
to continue sending the paper until
death, poverty, disease, hopeless de-
linquency, or an earthquake caused a
break. This is bad business and often
times very unsatisfactory. Some peo-
pie get the impression that the pub
Usher is trying to force the paper on
them. This,is one thing the publisher
OF the Big Sandy News can truthfully
say he has never intended nor had any
desire to do. In soliciting we do not
even insist strongly upon anyone sub
ScliDlilB lbI Tie paper, DtCduht we new
er want to push it upon any person.
Our efforts are directed chiefly to max
ing a paper worth the subscription
price Nevertheless, few people seem
to think the paper is being forced up
on them when II continues beyond the
date paid for.
on the other hand. we have had a
number OF subscribers to resent our
action in stopping the paper at the ex-
piration OF the period paid for saying
it was reflection ON their credit This
Is the source from which we antici-
pate most of the trouble that is likely
to come in changing to strictly cash
in advance system. But when the
change is made II will be absolutely
necessary to enforce II impartially
The mailing list will be in charge OF
an employee who doesn't know any
better than to stop every subscription
at its paid expiration.
Although as above stated, the prop
osition has two sides. we believe our
friends and patrons will like the new
system better We ask their kind CO.

The over dressed child is always the
unhappy child. She is pert Miss who
has learned early to regard overmuch
the pomps and vanities Of life, or she
is poor little discontinued victim,
who has never had chance for child
ish play, and looks with envy at the
ragged, little tumbling Brchins who
make mud pies on the roadside.
Let us all remember that the higher
and happier our home life, the more
wisely and better we may hope to do
the work that lies waiting for us be-
yond it. A pleasant place to come
home to is the greatest energiZer a
man can have. Then let us strive with
an earnest and constant purpose to
make and keep the home cheerful, in
viting and pleasant.
Home is a magic word, and we sell
dom try to analyze it. A little Polish
girl in public school was asked re-
Gently to write a definition of home.
She wrote, "A home is where people
live, and where man or somebody
comes home and finds people there,
and then eats!" And then eats! To
how many thousands of men that is
the end and aim OF coming home! To
how many thousands of women the
preparation of the food to be eaten is
the chief business OF home making.
No one ever lost money, temper,
character or the esteem Of others. by
being truly polite at home, in public
gatherings, in business, on the street,
in school or church.
Man can build the house and roof II
in, resistance against the storms and
elements; but the man with all his
genius and artisan science cannot make
the home; that ever has and ever will
be the task OF woman. 1t is she alone
that can bring to it warmth and
beauty. Here she reigns supreme.

Young man, there is one thing you
cannot do. You cannot make a success
in life unless you work. Older men
than you have tried it and failed. You
cannot loaf around the street corner,
smoke, tell stories and sponge on some
one else without making a failure of
life. You must learn a trade or get in
to some honest business. If you don't
you will become chronic loafer, and
there is no place in the world for loaf
ers. The ripe fruit is at the top of the
tree and you must climb If you get IL
or some smart man will pluck 1t from
you. Do something no matter how small
or how low the wages, it will be
starter. Help yourself and others will
help you. There is no royal road to
success; will, grit and endurance are
the qualities that lead to 1t.
This is our recipe for home happi-
ness Who will give us better one?
Love, peppered with patience, sailed
with suavity, dampened with discre-
ton, crowded with cheerfulness, show
cred with sunshine, tinctured with
trust, favored with forgiveness, freight
ed with frankness, charged with con-
fdence, complete with contentpent,
heroic and hopeful.
