If it is for the benefit of an individual it should be paid for. If tbe grocer were asked -o contribute grooeries to one abund antly able to pay for them ho would refuse. The proprietor of a news paper must pay for the free adver tising if the beneficiary does not, and yet it is one of the hardest things to be learned by many that a newspaper has space in its columns to rent and must rent to live. To give away anything for less than living rates would be as certainly fatal as for a landlord to furnish rent free.
