Hen, S"art?Iey & Son: A Word to Subscribers. Nearly all the strongest country pa pers of Nebraska have adopted the cash-in adrance plan of collecting sub scription. While this plan haa not been followed by 'any Platte county paper, the Journal, beginning with the new year will work toward that plan just as rapiidly as is consistent with the convenience of Journal sub scribers. The advantages of this plan are many. First of all it cuts off that class of subesribers fortunately a very small class in the case of tha Journal who subscribe for a paper ana take it from the office until they become delinquent from f 1 to $3 and then re fuse either to take the paper from the office any longer or to py up their delinquency. In the second place the plan works automatically to stop the paper promptly at the expiration of the time for which the subscription . is paid thus preventing the forcing of the paper upon any subscriber longer than he desires it. The plan works justice to the publisher and justice to the large majority of sub scribers who subscribe for a paper be cause they want it and who would just as soon pay cash for a eewspa per as to pay cash for their dry goeds and groceries and who would be glad to co-operate with the publisher iu clearing the subscription list from the small number of dead beats who in reality are carried at the expense of the nonest subscriber. The Journal will start the new year r Special .... With Four 25-pound Pails of International Stock Food we are giving One 25-pound Pail FREE. Chas. H. DacR, Druggist 19C6,with thricfl as many readers a9 it had on January ly 1305 and carrving a corresDondicst increase in advertis ing at a higher rate The improve ments made in te Journal to meet the requirement! of this growth and tne effort and money expended to bring it about have made exhaustive . -, " We are asking every subscriber, therefore, to look at the expiration date on the little yellow paster on your paper. Unless it contains the figure "07", then your subscription is not paid a year in advance, and in order to extend to us the co-operation necessary to place our suscription business on a cash basis. You should remit the amount necessary to carry your subscription forward, at leas: to January 1, 1907. After thirty days from January 1, every subscriber two years or more in arrears will be dropped from the list and steps taken to collect the delin quent accounts. After March 1.10CG every subscriber delinquent one year or more will be dropped and within a reasonable time thereafter, the Jounral will not be sent to any subscriber after the expiration of the pid subscription. The change to the cash-in-advance plan will be eraduai in order to Tvork no hardship npon any subscriber bnt we shall hope for a prompt response from our Platte county readers, the greater part of whom already do a large part of their business on the cash plan.
