A Word to Our Correspond-
ents.
Inasmuch as nearly all the
correspondence comes in after
the middle of the week, and at
the busiest time of the week, we
will have to urge you to be as
brief as passible in your writing.
Let each one write about two
pages, but write more if you
have good news. Of course if
your copy could reach the our
office Saturday morning for the
next week we could set more and
would be glad to, but it would
be impossible for you to get up
your news by that time.—
Editor.
