Here is what an exchange has
to say about the conditions the
papers over the country are hav.
ing to face.
"$la Year Newspapers Are Fast
Passing Away.
The one dollar a year news
paper will be rarity by the
first of next year, judging from
the number of publishers who
are increasing rates. With the
high cost of paper and material
he has no other alternative but
to get more money for either SUBJ
scriptions or advertising, or pre-
ferably BOTH"
For many years the Waterman
has been one dollar a year and
we would dislike very much to be
forced to raise the rate. And
in order to overcome this
situation, we will ask that all our
delinquent subscribers come in
and pay up.
If you have q frie d who IS not
asubscriber. bring in his subscrip.
ton the some time. If our many
readers will come toour assistance
IN this hour of distress, we will be
able to retain our old rate, and
improve our service.
