Show POSTAL ZONES. You have heard of the postal zoning system. It is a scheme by which the distance of a town from New York increases the expense of transporting , magazines and newspapers to it from the metropolis. It is a . part, and perhaps a necessary part of the revenue program. The further a town is situat-, situat-, ed from New York the less effectually ef-fectually is it served with peri- odicles on which it has depended depend-ed to keep it in touch with vital developments in our national , life. Communities like ours . are the bone and sinew of the body politic, and we depend on metropolitan distributing cen-, cen-, tres for the links which bind . us to similar communities and to the great republic of which we are all a part. This journal will do its share in plugging the gap. We undertake un-dertake this duty in no spirit of presumption, but in humble appreciation ap-preciation of the privilege which the responsibility confers, con-fers, with a firm resolve to avoid any charge in our fundamental fund-amental character. It is our aim at all times to maintain the best qualities of a country newspaper, reflecting in every printed line the sterling spirit and individual quality of the district which it is our privilege privi-lege to serve. Our connection with metropolitan metro-politan services enables us to keep our readers posted on the latest developments in state and national policies, as well as in our relationships with 'those other peoples to whom the links of federation bind us ever more tightly in our struggle strug-gle to make world-democracy an abiding fact. |
