Distribution Change Made We have, in the last two weeks, received several requests for a better delivery service of our newspapers around the lake. A few of o u r readers have brought to our attention the fact that they have not received the paper regularly. The management of the Journal has done all possible to assure a complete coverage of the lake district including every cottage and store and we have engaged the Sharp News Agency to do the distributing for us in the future. We were at a loss last week when the former people who did the passing for us failed to appear on Friday morning to get the papers. However, we finally secured the Sharp Agency to pass them out on Saturday. Os course they missed a few cottages, this being their first trip for complete coverage of the lake, but they have given us their word that they will be sure that every cottage and store gets a copy hereafter. Should any one be missed, please let us know so that the ’ boys may be instructed to be sure to leave a paper with you.
