New Postal Law Makes 1t Necessary For US
to Cut Names off When Delinquent Year

new POsIdl Law makes II Necessary F0r US
to Cut Names off When Delinquent a Year
We have revised our mailing list
this week and cut off those names
who are more than a year in arrears,
those past the time limit allowed US
by the Post Office Department.
Announcement of this fact was made
for several weeks. We cannot
afford to pay cent fine on each and
every copy of the Times sent to
delinquent subscriber. The profit
in a paper is little enough without
having to stand this fine so there was
only one thing to do and that was
to strike the names off the list. 1t
is no wish of ours to take this
course. Uncle Sam has laid down
the law and he must be respected.
Those of our subscribers who have
been receiving the paper regularly
and who have been affected by this
change, will do US a kindness by
settling up their old account and
starting new. To those who have
not received bills we would urge to
watch the label. The month and
year up to which you have paid is
printed along side of your name and
address. This appears on every
paper you receive and if you will
watch this label and send US your
remittance when due, it will assist
us materially in keeping an up-to-
date list. Those whose names have
been stricken off will receive bills
from US again and if not paid in due
time, the claims will be passed over
to collector. We would appreciate
the cooperation of our subscribers in
helping US to live up to the new
postal law. Watch the label and it
will always keep you posted.
