SUBSCRIBERS MUST PAY IN

All subscribers who r receiving
The Silver State through the mail are
requested to pay up at once. The
government requires that we shall
collect in advance after the first OF
October and in the meantime those
in arrears must remit Immediately or
we shall be obliged TO discontinue the
paper. The order from Uncle Sam Is
very explicit and the penalty far
reaching for the publisher who disre-
CARDS the mandate.
To refuse to take the paper from
the postofice does not help the sub
scriber unless he pays up as well.
We have been sending many copies
of The Silver State to u boys in the
training camps, but this must also
cease unless they are paid subscrip-
tions. There is no free list, exchanges
are taboo and where the publisher
will land nc one seems to know.
Let us hope that many of our town

through the p~ostoffiee instead of by
carrier will look up their last receipt
or drop in the office and we will in
form them how much they W Tn.
