A PAPER FUND
Subscribers must pay I'or their paper. In the next
sixty day s we must huv another ear load of paper and it
takes cash right off the bat and then it can hardly be
secured. News print is now $7.00 per hundred, and a car
requires $2,700, formerly about $000. The paper situa-
tion is acute, and the management of the Constitution
inges subscribers who are in arrears to come in and nay
up at once.
The situation as it stands today, with a paper famine
confronting every paper in the I'nited States, makes it
absolutely necessary that the use of print paper be cur-
tailed. Every paper must pay its own way, and on No-
vcmber 15th, 1010, the subscription price of the Daily
(onstitut.on will be raised to $4.00 per year by mail.
• <>ft e\ery daily in the state lias i^one to $5.00 and $(>00
per year, but we believe that by making it $4.00 per year
cash, we can get by. All renewal subscriptions before
November loth.w1!] be at the old rate, but after that date
it will be $4.00 in advance.
We hope every subscriber will renew and add to our
paper fund.
