The Ken n a Record D. C. SAVAGE Editor and Pub'r PUBLISHED WEEKLY Kneref Fehuary gtti 1907 it the Kenna, New Mexico, Post Office, as second Class Mail Matteu ... MARKETS Subsor'pllon $1.00 Par Year in Adyaneo Advertlsetnt rates madcknowa on appllcatloo A e find :t necessary to call the attention of our subpcribers to the outrageous price we now have to pay for print paper and other materials necessary in get ting out a little paper. We have just this morning received a bill of a shipment of paper and the figures show that we now pay three tiuies the price that we paid fifteen months ago, and other expenses are advanc ing along in the same propor tion. In order to meet. these exhor bitant prices, many papers have raised the subscription price, some have cut down the t-ize of their papei and charge the same frice. The Record, however will not be reduced in size and the price of subscription will re main 1.00 per year rx advaxck. In looking over our list w find a good number there whu are behind with t their dues. Some oi:ly a few months, some a year and some longer. We do not like to cut off, especially the old subscribes, but we ae confronted with u problem that we dislike to face, viz. Shav ing our subscription list right down to a list of paid up or ar ranged for subscriptions. We appreciate you as a customer, and we want you to stay with us. But it had just ao well be tated plainly one time as an other. We cannot continue to buy this high priced paper and material which goes to make up the Record and send it out with out the pay. Now the fact is if these arrearages aie not paid promptly, we will be forced to cue out a good list who are en joying the paei- yet are r.ct showing the manhood and courage to come up and rav t!ieir account..

A big order buying trade con tinues, ana packers snow as much comietition as they think safe, and at tlin same time pre- vent a skyrocket market, for they need hogs. TIib situation looks very strong.

I shot an arrow into the air, it fell in the distance, I knew not where, till a neighbor said it killed his ceft, and I had to ay him sixteen and a .half ($16.50). I bought some poison to tlay some rats, and a neigh bor swore it killed his cats, and rather than argue across the fence I paid him four dollars and fifty cents ($4.50). One night I set sailing a toy baloon and I hoped it would soar till it reached the moon, but the can- dl fell cut On a farmer's straw and he said I must settle or go to law.
