So a Year After January

Very much against inclination the pub
Usher Of The Herald is compelled to announce an
increase of the subscription price The constant
ly mounting prices Of all that enters into the max
ing OF a newspaper together with lessened rev
enues from advertising, brought about by war
conditions renders this unavoidable.
After January, 1919 the price of The Herald
will be 81 year, strictly in advance.
Until the end of January the price will be $3.50
in the county. You pay for as many years as
you like at $1.5O before the price goes up.
