A PLEA FOR THE EDITOR

Since the first of January this year we
have mailed to all subscribers of The
True Northerner statement of how
they stand on the subscription books. A
very few have acknowledged receiving
the same, but the greater number have
remained silent.
Now, dear friends we do not wish to
crowd you, but YOU are probably aware
that never in the history of newspaper
kingdom was the cost of material so
high as it is now and that it takes money
to conduct a paper and meet these bills
Our paper and metal companies have to
be paid or we have no paper. Just stop
and figure that perhaps you as an indi-
vidual may not owe us but the small
sum of one dollar, but when hundreds
do likewise how much ready cash this
