NEW POSTOFFIcE ORDER
Says Newspaper Subscribers Not Paid
Up Cannot Be Served

Subscribers to newspapers IS well
as publishers, will be interested in
new ruling which has just been pro-
mulgated by the Postofice Depart
ment. Twill be found in the Deem
Der nunp-r of the Postal Guide as
order NJ. 90l.
The order is specific and means
that the publishers of daily news
papers will be obliged to cut off SUBJ
scribers three months in arrears, and
that the publishers of weekly papers
will be obliged to take similar action
against all subscribers one year in
arrears.
If this is not done, the right of the
publication to pass through the mails
as second class matter will be ques-
toned. If this right is denied after
investigation, the publication in ques-
ton may only be mailed at the tram
sient second-class postage rates of one
cent for each four ounces or fractions
thereof, which would virtually bar it
from the mails. The new ruling is a
drastic one and will be far-reaching
in its effect upon the country publish
ers, who have been accustomed to
extend credit to subscribers.
Instructions to postmaster, received
from the department, are not to
question expired subscriptions prior
to April next, in order that pub
fishers may begiven every reasonable
opportunity to adjust their business to
the conditions,
This is only fair, as publishers who
show good faith and that they are
making progress should have such
an opportunity. The purpose of the
new law is to correct real abuses and
not to place in the hands of postmas-
t3rs an instrument which to annoy
and vex publishers whose practices
are legitimate and normal.
In order that we may comply with the
lew ruling OF the Postoffice Department.,
notice OF which is given above, we ur-
,ently request allIour patrons who are one
rear or more in arrears for subscriptions
o settle the same at their earliest con.
lenience. Under the new ruling We will
'e obliged to discontinue sending papers
o those of our patrons who are more
han one year in arrears. We trust our
riends will bear this in mind and settle
he amount they owe us at an early
late. You can know the amount of your
Irrearages by referring to the address
abel on your paper.
