When prices began to soar, the subscription price was raised from time to thne until it was finally put at $2.00. The' war is over. Pricos arc steadily declining, labor is less expensive than formerly. Paper has gone down a very little. Foods, build ing materials, clothing and some other items have declined sharply. It is time the newspapers' were taking notice of the. lower prices, and we have decided to put our subscripton at $1.50 a year. Last Friday we printed Two Thousand Three Hun dred and Ten copies of the Tribune. Fifteen copies were reserved for office use and the rest were sent to our subscribers. We had , more advertising than we could handle. We put aside more than two columns of news that we could not usci on account of space. We will have to enlarge the paper and in that way take care of the business that is coming our way. We want to retain every sugscriber we now have and we want hundreds more. To this end we are luakiiig the price so low that every home 'in Lincoln County can afford to have the County Seat Pa perThe North Platte Semi-Weekly Tribune. i. f The farmer has taken his loss and has started in again. The business man has marked down his goods to correspond with the lower markets and keeps on doing business,. The laboring man has been laid off and has lost a lot of wages, but ho is ready now for the job when it opens up. Wo wish to join these friends in our own way and so are making this 25 per cent cut in subscription price. Whenever we think we can do it will cut the price further! But the low price is only af tor June 1st. Anyone who has gotten behind must settle to June 1st in order to get the now rate.. Anyone who has paid ahead of Junetlrst will have his subscription extended to cover the now rate. We are going onto a cash basis Eventually. It is the only Way to conduct a business of any size aud know where the business stands. The rate of $1.50 a year two copies a week, eight to -twelve pages each issue is so low that no one can complain of the cost. Wo have done our part.nojv iirgetting back to normal.
