the change will be welcome, and that
you will be pleased to remain on
our subscription list. You will be given
the same date you were paid to on the
Weekly Transcript. Those who are al
ready subscribers OF the Herald, and
have paid in advance on the Transcript,
will be credited with the amount on the
Herald. Likewise subscribers owing on
the Weekly Transcript will be debteu
to the Herald for said amount We
have checked the lists and believe that
we have removed all doubles, but should
there be anyone who receives more than
one COPY of the Herald, we would thank
him to notify US to that effect; also
notify us as soon as possible of any
thing YOU are not clear on in the mat
ter, as it may be better explained now,
while all data is fresh, than at some
time in the future.
We expect to bill all subscribers that
have been on the Transcript list by next
week, and we will be pleased to have
you take advantage Of the offer we are
making our misunderstanding year
in advance at the present price-$l.3O

New subscriptions, outside the state,
will carry the new rates at this time.
Little Falls Herald (0ct. ~: The
Herald has purchased the subscription
list of the Weekly Transcript, and after
today October ~, the patrons of the
Weekly Transcript will be served with
the Herald.
Exigencies of the war had much to
do with the. sale and purchase of the
list, shortage of skilled labor and a
demand by the government for conser-
walton of paper.
PAPERS are ordered to make reduc- !
ton in the use of print paper in rela-
lively short time and the government
has recommended a raise in subscrlp-
lions and the stoppage Of subscriptions
a cert..in length of time in arrears.
Some Implications on the lists will h"'p
t, make the reduction. The remainder ,
of the reduction will necessarily have
to come from the stoppage Of subscrip- j
tions of those who are in arrears. 1t
would not be proper to stop the paper |
Of subscribers who are regular payers, |
instead of the papers Of those who do
not assist us to succeed in these particu-
lar times, when newspaper conditions
are harder to meet than they have ever
been, at least since we have been In |
the business. And We need the paying
subscriber.
The price of subscription will also be
raised, as has previously been stated, !
and it is up to all our subscribers to !
pay all arrearages and one year in adj |
vance, if they desire to take advantage
Of the present price Of $3.50 per year.
Further demands of the government
would not be surprising.
BY the consolidation Of the two lists
we will meet the demands OF the gov |
eminent, and at the same time largely |
increase the circulation Of the Herald, |!
thus giving a greater service through
the one medium, both to the public and
the advertiser.
The Herald has always been paper |
Of very general circulation, both in the
CITY and county and with the addition
of the Weekly Transcript list, it will
cover the field more thoroughly than |
ever.
To guarantee remaining on the list it
would be we'll for you to attend to the
matter at once. We would be pleased |
to have all our subscribers help us meet
the governments requirements. Your
last receipt, or the date on your paper
gives you the date Of your subscription
Don It wait for a bill. DO 1T NOW!
Weekly Transcript (Oct. ~: This
is the last issue of the Weekly Tran |
script. The subscription list has been
sold to the Little Falls Herald and all
subscribers to the Weekly Transcrip pit
will hereafter receive the Herald in its
stead. This sale was necessary owing |
to the governments orders for paper
conservation and scarcity Of help in
all printing Offices. We wish at this
time to extend our sincere thanks to all |
our subscribers for their past patron
age and hope that those who wish !
weekly paper will continue with the
Herald, paper which thoroughly COW
