I am getting The News, and have been for some time, since my years subscription. I suppose they are sending it free. Now, dear people, we admit we have not looked after collecting the subscription as we should, but our duties have been manifold, the field for business not particularly alluring, so it has taken a long pull and a strong pull to work our business up to the point where it would pay any kind of returns for the money and energy expended.

Now that things are going a little more our way we will be beteer able to look after the subscription part and other details hitherto neglected. Let us say if you have gotten it Into your think dome The News is coming as a donation you will soon have a rude awakening. If your name stays on our books you will pay for The News.

It is for the fellow, too, who loudly talks about helping the West Side and then when he gets a little opportunity to help, he makes a bee line for the east side and spends his money.

We want your name on our list a.id your fifty cents in our pockets. In' no other way can we come together on this deal. When this subscription campaign Is over, if we only have ten subscribers on the West Side they will be people who are willing and do pay their subscriptions.
