We have been often asked whether

are few of the decisions in the matter
from the U. S. supreme court, as pub
lished in the Michigan Press Association
Bulletin, which will answer numerous
questions:

tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
fishers may continue to send them until
all arrearages are paid"
5. 1.-THE courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the office
or removing and having them uncalled
for is prima facie evidence of intentional
fraud"
g. "The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it, Under this law
the man who allows his subscription to
run along for some time unpaid and then
orders it discontinued or orders the post
master to mark it refused, and have a
postal card sent notifying the publisher,
leaves himself liable to arrest and fine,

THERE was an increase Of II, :
900, 900 in the amount of goods
sold by American producers and
home manufacturers to foreign
purchasers for the month of
March as compared with the
same month of last year. And
last years sales surpassed all
former figures for the same
month. We bought more than
ever before last month, too, al
though the increase in sales far
exceeded the increase in pur-
chases. The only changes which
such conditions would seem to
suggest or require is to change
the figures from month to month
as new records are made which
exceed the best totals of other
months and other years.
