On the down grades the Wreck
dismounted and let the posse do the
steering. Then it was that he found
himself walking behind, with Sally
Morgan at his side. Proximity gave
him queer thrill. He stole glances
at her when he thought she was
unaware of it. Engaged! He blushed
whenever she remembered 1t. OF

breaking of her engagement to Bob

Announcement Of Policy
To Herald Subscribers

The Herald herein tt
its subscribers, present and prospect
i've, the adoption of a new business
policy that has long been considered
and has now become necessary-the
only course CONSTANT with sound
business system.
This new policy is a ifty-ffty
proposition with two main features
Ten per cent discount to all
subscribers who pay for a full year
before, on, or within Is days after,
the date due. This actually reduces
the price of the paper to 1925, or
$2.70, according to the location of
the address. This feature is now eff
fective.
2-Subscriptions that are six
months past due will be discontinued
after special notice, a final warning
and Is days of grace have been
given. This feature will not go into
effect until May 1, 1924, but will be
strictly adhered to thereafter.
The particulars of our subscrip-
ton prices and terms can always be
found in the masthead" at the top
of the editorial page.
All dailies, periodicals, and many
country weeklies employ the strict
cash in advance policy without any
discount. This seems a trif1e hard
boiled to apply in these times and
this country. But the policy above
stated appears to the manager of
this business absolutely fair and just.
If you pay in advance and trust US
to furnish the paper for a year we
will allow you for the use of your
money. If we trust you to pay, for
six months, without extra charge,
YOU should trust us the other six.
However, you do not need to pay
for a full year. Six months, OF wen
three months payment, in time, will
keep the paper coming.
Long experience has convinced US
that failure to pay for a newspaper
is more the result of neglect than of
inability to raise the money. We
believe that any of u subscribers,
during any six months of the year,
can dig up $1.25, OF at least rs
cents, if they really want The Her
aid. This new policy is based on
that belief. The weakness of our
system in the past has been the lack
of a definite time for disseminating
past due subscriptions. Unlimited
credit is bad for those receiving 1T
and dangerous to those giving 1t.
We believe that our readers will
agree that The Herald contains,
in and week out, far more live,
matter than the ordinary

country weekly. We strive to make
it valuable to its town and it's terri
tory and that is the reason it is ex-
pensive to run. Expenses come and
must be met, just as sure as the sun
rises and sets. There is a heavy re-
sponsibility-overhead, payroll, pa
per, postage must be met, the sub
scriptions that have been paid in adj
vance must be redeemed. About
half our list pays up at or near their
date. The rest pay in six months,
a year, two, years, three years, or
never. There are far too many Of
the nevers. Many move from one
place to another without giving a
change of address or stopping the
paper. Somebody else gets it but
usually refuses to pay and we lose.
Fully 80 per cent of what is earned
on subscription is never paid. And
that is too much.
We realize that spring is a tough
time for cash, especially with coun-
try folks, but we have waited a good
many falls for the delinquents to
come in and pay up. So we will
have everyone on the list who is in
arrears make a fresh start under the
new policy between now and the
first of May. But we do not want
a single subscriber to stop the paper
if they want it. If you do not want
it we do not want you to keep on
taking it-pay up and order it dis
continued.
But some will say: eve are away
back, several years, and positively
can't get the money by May 1st."
All right, we have a plan to fix that.
Pay as much as you can and we will
credit part of it in advance of May
1, 1924. If you can't pay more than
rs cents or $1.25, we will credit all
that is paid in advance of May 1st.
The amount still back will be kept as
a separate account, although it will
be a charge against your subscrip-
ton, and you will have until Decem-
Der 1, 1924, to pay it. But we will
expect it then.
We trust this plan is clear to you
and that it appeals to you as per-
fectly fair. The main thing is to
in or write in before May 1st
and make some kind of settlement
under the requirements outlined
above. If you are in arrears you
will receive a statement and a form
for reply in about two weeks. This
will appear in several
ssues, that all may see and read it.
