TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS
The government has ordered
the weekly newspapers to cut
down their consumption of
paper fifteen to twenty per
cent beginning on September
15, in order to conserve paper
for war purposes. The Home
News will comply with the
above instructions and we are
going to ask our readers to see
that their subscriptions are
paid up and in advance if they
wish The Home News to con
tinue to visit them hereafter.
Look at the expiration date
opposite your name on this
paper and if you are in arreas
and want the paper, come and
attend to the matter at once or
send us the amount by mail,
or wre will be compelled to
discontinue your paper. This
is the order received by us
from the government and we
of course must and will com
ply with it.
You can very easily tell by
t-Pi /vithaim ArmAcnf n
til V/ V/tJ V j v
name on this paper when
your subscription expires or
has already expired. The
first figure or figures represent
the month and the last figure
or figuress represent the year
to which your subscription is
paid. All subscriptions ex
pire on the first day of some
month. For example, we
give you the following: John
Doe is a good subscriber and
always keeps his subscription
paid in advance and we find
his paper marked in this man
ner: “John Doe, 10-19.”
He has renewed his subscrip
tion and from the above fig- j
ures it is paid up in advance j
to the 1st day of October, 1919. j
The “10” represents the tenth j
month which is October and ;
the 19 represents the year j
1919. His subscription like
all others on our list expires
on the first of the month, there
fore John is in good standing
with us untilOctober 1, 1919.
John Jones is also another
good subscriber to this paper
but John has neglected to re
new his subscription and we
find him marked up on our
large list m tms manner:
“John Jones, 9-17/’ This
shows that his subscription ex
pired on the first day of the
9th month which was Septem
ber, 1917. As soon as he reads
this article, we know he will
either come and bring or send
us the necessary amount to
place him in good standing
on odr books, and if your sub
scription is in arreas like
John’s, we are sure you will
also see us at once.
Every name on opr list was
paid in advance before we sent
the paper and we know you
wanted The Home News, else
you would not have paid us
for it in advance before having
it sent to you. There are
several whose subscriptions
are in arreas but we have not
bothered you with any state
ments or “duns”and have con
tinued to send the News to you
each week fully believing
that you wanted and will pay
for the same and now that the
government has ordered us to
stop all in arreass, we hope
you will attend to this matter
at once. Should you not want
your paper any longer and bwe
us some back subscription, be
the man that you should be and
send us the amount you owe
and tell us you don’t care for
the paper any more.
Remember, if you wish the
News to continue to visit you,
don’t send just the exact
amount you owe, but send that
amount together with enough
to pay up your subscription for
some six months or a year
in advance. The price is
$1.00 a year, 60 cents for six
months and 40 cents for three
months.
The following rules have
been laid down by the govern
ment and must be complied
with and we hope you will co
operate with us in so doing:
No publisher may continue
subscriptions after 3 months
after date of expiration unless
renewed and paid for.”
“No publisher may give free
copies of his paper, etc.”
“No publisher shall print ex
tra conies for stimulating ad
vertising or subscriptions or
for any use other than those
specified in these regulations.”
“No publisher shall send
free copies in exchange, etc.”
“No publisher shall sell his
publication to anyone below
the published subscription
price.”
“No publisher shall offer
premiums with his publication
etc.”
These instructions come
from the government and must
be complied with. The Home
News in the future, as in the
past, will stand ready to do
all in its power to carry out
the war policy and help in
every phase of the work that
it can in giving publication to
its various works and needs.
If you desire to keep up with
the calls of the new draft law
you will want The Home
News, as it is our intention to
assist the Board by publishing
the registrants and their calls
when issued by the board.
We trust that you will con
tinue to be a reader of The
Home News in the future as in
the past, and will look after
the matter at once and not al
low your name to be dropped
from the list.
