TO OUR READERS.

A new ruling has been made by the
Postofice Department which went into
effect January /, 1908, which does not
permit publishers of weekly papers to
send their paper to subscribers who are
more than one year in arrears. We give
this ruling herewith:
Amend Section 1876, postal laws and
regulations, to read as follows:
3. A reasonable time will be allowed
publishers to secure renewals of sub
scriptions, but unless subscriptions are
expressly renewed after the term for
which they are paid, within the follow
ing periods:
Dailies, within three months:
Tri-weeklies, within six months:
Semi-weeklies, within nine months;
Weeklies, within one year;
Semi-monthlies, within three months:
Monthlies, within four months;
Bi-monthlies, within six months;
Quarterlies, within six months,
they shall not be counted in the leglt-
innate list of subscribers, and copies
mailed on account thereof shall not be
accepted for mailing at the second class
postage rate of one cent a pound, but
may be mailed at the transient second
class postage rate of one cent for each
four ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid
by stamps affixed. The right of a
publisher to extend credit for subscrip-
tions to his publications is not denied or
questioned, but his compliance or non
compliance with this regulation will be
taken in consideration in determining
whether the publication is entitled to
transmission at the second-class postage
rates.
