seven column paper again, although
the ready print will not be included.
We regretted having to cut down
the size of tbe paper, but It was nee

down expenses.
We will continue to use cartoons
on the front page, enlarged from 2

to "dress up" our editorial page and
make it attractive by use of illus-
trated news features and special ar-
ticles. More attention will be paid
to editorial matter, and each week
we will publish articles direct f-om
Washington, dealing with acts of
congress and setting forth the ac-
complishments of the republican od-
