give a free enlargement your Kodak, Grishing brders. Standard prices, tf By a mutual arrangement with the business men and patrons of the Cuba Daylight this paper will be reorganized upon a new basis. It will be the policy of the paper to publish a local paper for Cuba and Cuba interests, representing the 90- cial, religious and commercial activities of Cuba and community. 14 la This can only be done by co-operation on the part of both the local representative of the Daylight and the business men and citizens of Cuba. It will take both these forces to make an effective paper for this locality.

With the above idea in view, Leon Montague, superintendent of the Cuba Public Schools, has been installed in charge of the Daylight as local representative. All business pertaining to the paper, and all news matters will go through the hands of Mr. Montagueand he solicits both, for it will take both to make the paper the kind of a paper that the community wants. It has been figured out that it would cost at least $3,000 a year to maintain a local paper in a field like Cuba with the local manager upon the ground paying the overhead expenses of an office, supplies, equipment, etc. Many of the smaller towns of the state have found this too high a toil to stand andhave lost their papers.

The only method left for communities of that kind is to support a paper published elswhere in the interests 'of their community. It is up to the people of the community, whether such is a success or not. The Daylight has a larger circulation in Cuba trade territory than any other paper that circulates in its field and its advertising rate is -only 10 cens an inch. The circulation of the Daylight can be built up greatly in its field with proper co-operation, which will make it more valuable to Cuba business interests. That is up to the people of the community.

The publisher of the Daylight is. offering to the people of Cuba and vicinity the opportunity to build up Cuba paper representing Cuba interests and trusts they will co-operate with Mr. Montague in making the paper a real community institution.
