All renewals of subscriptions and all new subscriptions will be taken at the present rate up to Tuesday, July 20. Subscribers who pay before that time will get the old rate. After that date, the new rate will apply. The publisher has hesitated to raise the price of subscription and has continued to furnish the paper at the same price as before the war, despite the fact that the cost of producing the papers has more than doubled in that time, but recently increased costs in every department of the publishing business, has forced this increase. Last year we bought a carload of newsprint paper, delivered in Moscow, for $5.16 per 100 pounds. Last week we got a carload for which we paid $13.30 at Spokane. With this increase, we can no longer publish the paper at the old price.
