comer*. The Battalion welcomes
all. We trust that the Old Boys
are glad to get back to College,
and that tha ctraiigers will get
nsed to things in a week or two.
The Old Boys know that The

Every advertiser knows that ad
vertising in a paper without a bona
yi'firsubscription list is very nearly
worthless. As our subscription list
lengthens, we oan raise our adver
tising rates: as we lose subscribers
we must lower the rate. Every
one should therefore come up
promptly with his subscription.
We are trying to get out a paper
