Will Increase Subscription Pries
The cost of print paper has advanc-
ed enormously within tne last twelve
months. So great is the increase that
in the case of some of the big city
dailies the advance means an addi-
tional cost of from $200,000 to 1400,000
a year.
All over the country, newspapers
are being compelled to increase their
subscription rates or go out of busi-
ness.
The Daily Oklahoman has just an-
nounced that it will be forced to in
crease its subscription price to 15 per
year Instead of 94, although this will
not take effect until January 1st, and
any new or old subscribers who send
in their subscriptions now will be al-
lowed to secure one year more at the
94 rate. This will take the place of
The Oklahoman's regular Christmas
offer, as on and after January 1st the
price will be 95 to everybody.
Valus of Mlmitss.
I know once s very eovetous, sordifl
fellow, who used frsquently to say.
•Take care of the pence, for ths
pounds will take care of themselves.
This was a Just and sensible reflection
H miser. I recommend to you to
take care of the minutes; for hours
will take care of themselves I am
very sure that many people lose two
or three hours every day by nott t ak-
Ing care of the minutes. Never think
any portion of time, whatsoever, too
short to be employed; something or
other may always be done in It.
