azines, periodicals, etc. the same
going into effect January 1, 1908,
and allowing the publishers to April
1, 1908, to prepare their subscrip-
tion lists in accordance with the
new order of things. The effect of
the change practically compells the
establishment of new relations be-
tween the publisher and subscriber
OF county papers.
The department ruling requires
that subscriptions to weekly newspap-
ersentitled to the second class postage
rate shall not be delinquent longer
than one year.
The mails are not forbidden tC
subscribers who are in arrear;
longer than the time provided il
4he new ruling, but these subscri
bers are placed in a seperate classi
fication, requiring a higher rate o
postage, the rate being so high thai
publishers could not afford to senC
papers at the price of subscription
The reason given by the COVER.
ment for making this order is tina
second class mail matter is being
carried through the mails at a rat,
for postage thereon which is les
than the cost. of carriage.
The LEADER has been very lenien

we do not want to drop any sub
scribers from our list, but as Uncl
Sam has spoken, we must reques
the few who are in arrears to settl
