TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The ENQUIRER desires TO call the
attention of it's subscribers to the
ruling of the Postoffice Department
regarding unpaid subscriptions.
That law is substantially as fol-
lows as rendered in Section 1876: "A
reasonable time will be allowed pub
fishers to secure renewals of sub
scriptions, but unless subscriptions
are expressly renewed after the term
for which they are paid-they shall
not be counted in the legitimate list
of subscribers, and copies mailed on
account thereof shall not be accept
ed for mailing at the second class
postage rate of one cent pound but
NAV be mailed at the transient sec
ond class postage rate OF one cent
for each four ounces or traction
thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed
This means that subscriptions must
be paid within the year as the addi-
tional cost and trouble of atfixing
stamps is more than the subscriber
pays for his paper, and hence is pro
hibitory.
This law, harsh as it is, and unnec-
essary in our view, to accomplish
the purpose of the Department, the
exclusion from the mails of illegiti-
mate publications, will be rigid]y en-
forced by postmasters and compels
compliance on the part of the pub
fishers.

FOREST TREES FOR PLANT.
ING AND ARBOR
DAY TREES.

The State Forester announces that
there are a few thousand black locust
and hardy catalpa trees at the STATE.
Experiment Station for free dis:rib-
ution to land owners in the State who
will plant them according TO dlrec-
lions. Two hundred Of these one
year old seedlings will be sent each
applicant by express, be to pay
char ges, as long as the supply lasts,
and along with the seedlings will 60
the proper directions for planting.
All applications should be made to
the State Forester, John Hopkins
University, Baltimore, Nd, and
each applicant should describe the
kind of soil in which he proposes to
plant, whether wet, moist, or dry,
and whether heavy, medium, or light
so he may receive the right kind Of
trees for his purpose. The two hun
dred trees will require from one
eighth to one-quarter OGRE OF ground
depending on the distance apart that
they are planted. On accepting the
offer the trees become the property
of the land owner and all that is re-
quired of him is to give the trees
proper care, keep a record OF the
planting, and to report progress &C.
casionally when requested. Public
schools in the state desiring very
small locust or catalpa trees for
planting on Arbor Day can secure
two of each kind or four of one kind
by mail if application is made TO the
State Forester enclosing twenty-five
cents for postage and packing.
These offers are made to stimulate
an interest in tree planting which
promises in few years to become a
prominent feature of forestry work.
There certainly is no better way to
celebrate Arbor Day in the true
spirit than by planting grove OF
trees to protect the farm buildings
or to utilize some waste lands 10

HIGH PRICES AND THE

Up to Saturday last, according tc
the shipping companies, l55 1852 for
eign laborers h ave left New York
for Europe, while but 55,474 have
immigrated. Nearly leo, GOO more

since the beginning of 1908 than
have come in. Last year in the Ike
period but 80, 489 returned TO Europe,
while the arrivals number 205 80

Improvement in the labor market
for the reason that the cost of living
is higher here than abroad. If they
have to be idle, it is cheaper TO be
idle in their old homes than here.
Our standard of living is high, but
this means chiefly a higher cost of
living, due TO higher prices. The
laborer gets more pay for given
amount Of work here than abroad,
and this permits a somewhat better
style of living, but the higher cost
of thing is an item the unemployed
laborer has to consider in selecting
the country to be idle in. The rea-
son why we pay more for labor i'll
the United States is doubtless the
greater productivity of labor here,
nj this in its turn is due to the
abundance of our fertile soil, ores,
coal and other natural resources. IL.
is harder to wiring living from the
hand of nature in Europe than it is
here, and the margin OF profit over
cost is there so small as to check &
rise of wages. The moral Of the
present return wave Of labor seems
to be that this is a mighty good
country to work in, but poor one
to lounge in.-Baltimore Sun.
