Change of Publication Day by The Journal
The Journal will hereafter be published on Monday to ensure prompt reception in the northern county.

Eastern mail on Sundays brings Chicago papers of Saturday, and Mondays lack past mail, causing late Wednesday dates. The move also better serves village customers who receive the Democrat, published on Wednesday.
