STAR READERS ARE PLEASED.

The hearty way in which the readers of The Star are responding to the efforts of the paper to mees the increasing cost of printing by going on a cash-in-adyance basis, in preference to raising the sub scription price, is exceedingly grati- flying. During the past six days ex- actly i37 subscribers have advanced their expiration dates, and only an occasional one has taken the other course, paid up to date and stopped.
 Any reasonable man who thinks a minute will realize that newspa- per running on the old "pay-some- time" plan is bound to lose a con- siderable per cent of the amount due. Tn addition it must spend much effort and go to considerable expense in making collections. And it is almost certain to lead to a sit- uation where thousands of dollars are on the books, scattered all over the country in small amounts, that are needed to maintain the paper and business.
 The general tendency nowadays is to raise the price to si 50 or S200 a year to meet the advanced cost of paper. The Star could do this, per- haps, and continue as before to ex- tend credit on subscriptions, but that would mean that those who came in an paid promptly would De carrying the load for the careless ones, and would be paying for the occasional subscriber who forgets to pay altogether.
 Certainly the method that puts every subscriber on the same basis is best.
 Anyhow most Star readers seem to prefer it--and man after man as- serts that it is the way that suits him best-the way he prefers to fol low.
 Convinced that it is the best way and the way that will best enable The Star to meet it's obligations, to keep up it's standard. and best serve the greatest number of appreciative readers, the pay-in-advance stop when-out plan will become effective January I, 1917

Never in the history of the United States has the farmer producer of food stuffs-had such chance to make money and prosper as now. Able to produce these things for himself and family as easily and with as little labor as at any time, his surplus brings two or three times the customary price, thus en- meet the increased prices on what he does buy without inconvenience. With the cities attracting more and more laboring men, the need of increased food supplies will continue to grow, and the farmer, the gard ener, the orchaPdist, the stock grower and the poultryman will more and more come into his own. Incidentally, too, this means a great rise in the price of land. Better grow things to eat and hang onto your land.
