suppers and other entertain-

purposes, enclose remittance

tribute its part toward
worthy purposes. Stamps
may be used in making small
remittances. If you neglect to
send payment with copy, it
will be returned to you with
request for remittance, which
will delay its insertion in the

payment in advance as we
