OES the Courier meet with your demand? Does the merit
of its news-worth measure up to the standard you have set?
r . i - a.
we ieei mai ii aoes or you wouia not De one
of our patrons year alter year. The Courier is
fighting a battle of principal and needed reform.
Where do you stand on the question now at
stake? If you are an enlisted soldier in the cause
then you are ready to fight and help.
Whether the rural peoole of Clackamas
A Special Appeal to
Courier Friends
County will receive a just return from the capital they have invested, and the amount of en
ergy expended in daily toil: that is the question. There is a curable reason why the farmer
does not get as high a price for his salable produce as he should. There is a curable reason
why the farmer is not organized, as other great fields of labor, to protect his interests and
home. The Courier stands to harald and protect just such rights politically, socially and
economically. If you are a beliver in the cause, see that your neighbor gets the Courier.
TPHE Courier is now carrying on a great subscription cam-
paign. It is a call for 1000 new subscribers. Are you
ready to do your part? It won't be a great task
but you can help by securing at least one new
subscription to the Courier within the next 24
hours. Do it now, and enable the Courier to
carry its war cry into hundreds of new homes.
This is the one big way you can help along the
cause. Do it now get one subscription and turn
it into the Courier office at once. You will help the Courier; you will help your favorite
contestant to win a trip to the World's Fair or get some other prize, and you will serve your
county, your state and your country as well.
, The least you can do, if you are interested, is to pay up your own subscription from
three to five years. Look the list of contestants over and pick out the winner and help.
Now is when your help will be needed because the first trip will most likely be given this week.
