On August 1st, 1917. the subscription price of this paper will be advanced to $1.50 a year.

No lengthy article setting forth numerous reasons for the advance in subscription price is necessary, as everyone is aware of the fact that everything entering into the pubiishing of a newspaper has greatlv increased in cost, and nearly every publication, both large and small has increased the subscription price. Country papers still running at a dollar a year are losing money. We are not in this business for mere love of country and glory alone, but for an honest living and a fair share of pacinary profit. The editor does not wish to continue parading in the ass brigade, If the paper cannot exist at the new price it certainly cannot at the old. All subscriptions will be figured at $1.00 up to August 1st.

From that date on, $1.50 a year, unless you have already paid in advance. Between now and August 1st you can renew for not more than one year at the old price of $1.00. On and after that date, $15.0, strictly in advance.
