The paper on which this issue was printed has cost us approximate ly double what it oost us two years ago. The ink we used is away up in (price. The oil that keeps the press revolving is up in price. The power that moves the machinery is sky high. In fact, every item of expense is up ir* the clouds and many are away above them, and every dollar of expense means just that amount of money right out of our pocket. A great many subscribers are in arrears on subscription, and we need that money in order to meet the rapidly increasing cost of producing this paper. It is simply thoughtlessness on your part, we know, but our own creditors do not recognize that word. It don’t go with them for an instant. Do we get “ours,’’ brother?
