"HEWS," TO BE FIVE CENTS PER COPY i
The publishers of the "Fort Seward News”,
much against their wishes,, ha/e found it necessary oo state that,
commencing with the next issue,-that of Friday, February 3rd, 1922
the "News* willhave to cost money to its readers* We had hoped to
follow out the policy '&h which the paper was born,- that of a free,
costless, weekly chronicle of Post doings,- and so long as the mimeo
graph paper and the ink held out, we lived up to out intentions#
But old H. C« L# has made a pass at us, also, and we were forced to
buy supplies, on jawbone, in order to get this out, and many other i
issues to follow# Ihe labor involved in making up the sheet, and
the mental energy, or agony, if some wish to call it that,-will still
be given gratis, but the cost of the materials has to be met*
And so, beginning with next week4 a paper, we must ask a charge of
5 cents for each single copy of the "News" # However, as a special
inducement to our readers, we offer a three months subscription to
our journal for the small sum of four bits, or the well-known half of
a dollar,- and will furnish the "News” for six months for the meager
contribution of.one buck# Ihe mathematicians of the Post can see
that bya three months subscription they will get 12 copies of the
"News” fdr 50 cents, or 24,copies, in six months, for one dollar,
at a rate of about 4 cents per paper. We hate like the deuce to have
to make this charge, but expenses render it absolutely necessary, we
wish our weekly to tontinue,- and we feel that our readers want the
paper to live, if the commendations the "News" gets are any proof of
its worth*
Copies Of the News" may be obtained, or three or six month
subscriptions secured from the following agents?
Company "E" - - - Corporal Lucius Jones#
Hqrs. Co* - - - Corporal John E. Sutherland#
