scription bill is presented to find that
you can't pay because it didn't pay to
take it. On the other band it doesn't
pay the publisher. to try to build up a
circulation by distributing bon-mots of
free advertising as an inducement. 1t
doesn't pay a newspaper to pay people
to take it if it's mission il a worthy one

Of the postal laws have the recipients
believe that they are under obligation
