There's only one problem: man cannot live by corn likker alone.   Neither can a newspaper.
The message--it's here somewhere--is that the blue -tail fly has to increase its income or it won't survive much longer.   Since birth last October, it's barely made it from issue to issue. ,
Several things can be done.   We have to get more of them out across the state; if you know someone in another city who could sell them' (we send them a stack, they sell them and then send us. back a dime for each issue sold) or
any bookshops, head shops or what-have-you, please plug us into them, or vice versa.
We're also raising the subscription cost from $2 to $3 a year.   I mean, what's a dollar these days anyway?   If you don't have a subscription yet, you can use the blank below. And if you have a small surplus at the moment and can possibly send more than three (like five or ten), please do and you will automatically become a Patron of the Fly.
And if you have any suggestions about how to sustain the fly, please pass them on to us. Thanks.   See you next month.
