On and after ti that date the names of all subscribers f< who have not paid j5p Will be' taken .? from the 'roll. We would regret to 3k lose a single Valued subscriber, but the l? situation is such that in justice to our- t< selves wo must adopt'this policy. We c take this step rather than raise the ii subscription price as ' many papers u have done A .ckreful calculation T shows that the subscription price of v The Dispatch-News hardly pays for the blank paper, so that for every sub- v scriber'who does not pay there is an d absolute deficit.. Since the subscrip-. c tioil price of -tl.50 was fixed in 1917 t< ' - ry *: """ the cost^ol jJAper has advanced great- t *ly and ls'sirfU goings up. As a matter " of fact thta paper has hot' so- far been d ablo to cdhiract for neattiycar's supply : at any price'and we do rtfct know yet h >rhat we will have to. pay. In order n to kfecp em head above water it will s be necessary that each end every y subscriber pay his subscription "? promptly. There is nothirg^ person- u al in this announcement, but a pluln v, business "Statement made * to meet an -emergency Whloh confronts'the pub- a Jishers. .? tl Remember, after February 1 if r< your subscription is not p,aid: in ad- e: vance your name jwill be dropped. b Fromm this rule there will be no exceptions. ' .81 11 ' ?' P a short mxakoky. h The cO&l strike has brought home w to nearly every one how utterly de- la pendent we are in many ways upon labor and., how the power of labor can a: be- made to bear hardly, upoh many innocent people. As to the justness lc of Jtie dejnands made by the miners b there mhy be room, for argument, particularly in view of the statement P of Mr. McAdoo that some coal oper- ? ators mad^ as much as 2,000 per cent. b uroflt in ?018. hilt Mima J-cftor tE/av ii sbouM. be'found of settling their differences than & strike which threatens the SSmt'are and even the lives of many people in no wise interested in j the disbutjs. "When any class of men, either^ capitalist or laborers, has power to 'cause the untold suffering | which ^.he i big coal strike has threatdhfey', that power should curbed, " till an impartial tribunal cun ascertain the^irierlts of the controversy and award Justice. But we are likely to soon forget the coal strike in the press of other things, and congress may be depended on to disagree as.to a proper remedy. Somehow the good natured public whilch fbot9 the bills soon forgets. , ' ' ABOUT OBITUARIES. The Dispatch-News is constantly in reoelpt of obituary notices sent us for publication, frequently without the name and address of the writer ' and under the evident impression ^ that no charge is macte for insertion. t It is the custom of all newspapers to make a charge for such notices. The rate for The Dispatch-News is one cent a word, which -.ds lower than, many papers charge. Friends of the paper who want {o publish such notices, along With cards of thanks will please count the words in their article and send one cent for 'each word along with their copy. No attention will be paid to ttyin* unless cash accompanies order. In order that the cost mnjr not be too great we suggest that long pieces of poetry be omitted ' , 4 trotn such obituary- notices. We are compelled to conserve Space1 on ac count of the shortage*.of paper and 61 will approbate tWa elimination of h tWa aa rnrtOH a? possible. This or' bourse does not refer %& ** news item* about the deatlf of anyone while if S? news, but only to obitparies and in momoriams. ! ; M. .1 ' ! ' ? sfcHvicK frosTj j* i . ?
