"If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to SEND
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper ia sent tC
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that re.
fuslng to take periodicals from of
flee before removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound TO give notice o
the publisher at the expiration OF
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send il
on and subscribers will be respOu.
sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all Is sent to The publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
