State facts, but don't stop to moral ize. It's a drowsy subject. Let the reader do his own dreaming. 4 Eschew preface. Plunge at once into your subject, like a swimmer into -old water. .". If vou have written a sentence that you think particularly fine, draw your pen through it A pet child is always the worst m the family. . Condense. Make sure that you really have an idea, and then record it izi the shortest possible terms. We want thoughts in their quintessence. 7. When your article Is completed, strike out nine-tenths of the adjectives. 1. It is reasonable to supposd every me who takes the Astoriax does so be cause he likes it. 2. If he likes it he is interested in its success. X It interested in its success he can help it. 4. Every subscriber has one or more friends who would subscribe for it at his request but for no other. f. If every subscriber now taking it will renew his subscription and send tiYicnamc mo re our circulation will be doubled. 0. With a double circulation the paper ran be vastly improved. 7. With an improved paper we can do more good. 8. Therefore, it is for our subscribers to .say whcUicr vie shall or shall not do more good than at present 1. Subscribers who do not civo oxprcs po lice to the contrary, arc considered as wisbiug ti continue their subscription. 2. If subscribers wish their papers discon tinued, publishers may continue to send them until charges are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their papers from the office or thoplaco whero they are pert, they are held responsible until they settle their bills, and givo duo notice to discontinue. 4. If subscribers move to other places with out informing tho publishers they are held responsible. Notico should always bo given of removal. ". Tho courts havo decided that refuing to take- a paper from tho office, or removing, mid leaving It uncalled for. is prima facie evi dence of intentional fraud. i. Tho postmaster who neglects to give tho legul notice of tho neglect ot a person to take from the office tho newspapers addresed to him, is liable to the publisher for tho sub scription price.
