The La Jara chronicle., 1908-03-06
The reporter had written, Mrs.

The reporter had written. Mrs.
Nestor wore nothing in the nature
of gown that was remarkable" :"
but the demon of the printing
house was loose that night, and
next morning society was horrified
to see: Mrs. Nester wore nothing
in the nature of a dress. That
was remarkable.
Twenty-Five thousand six hun
dred and sixty five articles which
had accumulated in the dead letter
office were put up at Washington
last week. Women's goods were
in the majority, but there were
many articles used by men. Among
the latter the principle ones were
cigars and suspenders, but there
were vests, rubber shoes and pipes.
Large sums of money also find
their way yearly to the dead letter
office. These facts indicate the
great carelessness shown by many
persons in addressing mail con-
tanning articles of value, and should
cause everyone to be more partic-
ular in this matter, especially dur
ing the holidays.
The rapid growth of La Jara
during the past year, has become
most noticeable. In this time
there has been established several
new additions in the business line
together with the erection of new
homes. The location of experienced
eastern farmers upon ranches trib.
utary to La Jara, should also be
considered, and, taking it all to-
gether, we are in line for larger
share of prosperity than has been
ours to enjoy heretofore. The
crops of 1907 in the San Luis val
ley were beyond the expectations
of our farmers, yet they declare
that the prospects for this year
are better than they were year
ago. Continued prosperity is a
certainty and the steady influx of
people within our borders, empha-
sizes this fact.
This is how the Anderson, In
diana, Bullentin advises its read
ers: ''One of the best and surest
indexes of future prosperity is the
action of the big advertisers
throughout the country. The
managers of these big firms are
shrewd, capable business men.
They know the needs of the
country. They also know its bus
mess opportunities. They feel the
public pulse and are certain of re-
newed business capacity along
all lines. For instance, the Ma
tional Biscuit Company, the Ly-
dia Pinkham Medicine Company
and others are making greater ap-
preparations for advertising next
year than ever before. So are big
dry goods advertisers. The action
of these men are sure indexes of
future business signs. There is
no use to croak about dull times.
Get hustle on you and make
them good Be booster for bus
mess, not a knocker."

UP AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
Uncle Sam compels Weekly Newspapers to
Pay Extra Postage ON Subscriptions nore
Than One Year in Arrears. 4..-s.--

There is no way out of it or around it. The post
Office department is with order compelling week
ly newspapers discontinue papers going to subscrb-
ers who than year in arrears or pay the
additional postage of for each four
fraction thereof The order first made to take eff
feet January l. 1908. but afterwards changed to April
1st in order that publishers could have opportunity
to collect and get their lists in proper condition The
order of the postmaster general is part follows
"Ofce of the Postmaster General,
Washington, D. c.. Order No. 9O7
Order that the postal laws and regulations DE
amended effective January L. 1908 as indicated below
Amended section 436, postal laws and regulations
to read as follows:
A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to Sc
cure renewals of subscriptions, but unless subscriptions
are expressly after the term for which they are
paid. within the following periods:
Dailies within three months,
Tr-weeklies within six months,
WEEKLIEs YEAR
Semi -weekles within six months
Monthlies within year,
Bi Birnonthlies within six months,
Quarterlies within six months,
they shall be counted in the Legitimate list OF sub
scrbers copies mailed account thereof shall not
be accepted for mailing at the second class postal rate
of pound but be mailed at the transient
second class postal of cent for each for ounces
or fraction thereof STAMPS AFFIXED Ihe
right of publisher to extend credit tor the SUD-
scrpons his publication is not denied or questioned
but his compliance or Noncompliance with this regua-
ton will be taken in consideration in determining
whether the publication is entitled to transmission at
the secondc class postage rate"
1t will be apparent to all of our readers from the
above order that is but thing for us to do
namely collect up and get subscriptions in such
shape that they be continued after the lst OF April
when this order goes into effect. No publisher can
afford to put stamp papers and there Will
be but one alternative when the first of April arrives,
and that will be discontinue the subscriptions and
he the hands of attorneys tor colleC
tons
1t is certainly desire to resort to this meth
cd of getting what is owing We believe that prac-
tcay every reader of The Chronicle is honest and in
tends to paw and have been in the pastand would
be in the future if the postal laws would perm-most
liberal in extending credit to subscribers, but the
matter has now been taken out of our hands all we
can do nothing but abide by the ruling of the post
Office department Please examine the date upon your
Chronicle and arrange to pay up the back subscrip-
ton possible.
Do it to-day don't wait until tomorrow.

known to be in the hands of those
