OF INTEREST
TO SUBSCRIBERS
Post Office Department Makes q
New Ruling.

papers Can't be sent IL subscriber
Is In Arrears One Year.

The new law regarding the sending of
newspapers through the mails to sub
scribers who are more than one year in
arrears on their subscription is sweep
ing one and went into effect January st,
| 908. Postmaster Wilson, last week.
served notice on the editor Of the Banner
concerning the ruling, and the law was
published.
Postmasters all over the United States
were obliged to serve notice on all pub
fishers Of newspapers and magazines.
The Banner published the law last week
which in effect is that newspapers can
not be sent through the mails to subscrib-
ers who are in arrears one year or more
1t is no less than saying that after the be-
ginning Of the present ysar no newspaper
or magazine upon which the subscription
is more than one year in arrears shall be
transmitted through the mails at second
class rates-one cent pound. the rate
now in effect.
This means that all copies of all Vapers
and magazines which are not by Aprh st.
1903, paid up to within one year must be
either cut off or the publisher must pay
the regular rate Of one cent for every four
ounces or fraction thereof At one dollar
a year. a paper the size of The Banner,
with the large amount OF reading matter
and other information it contains every
week, is too cheap anyway, there is no
profit at that price in the paper alone, for
we now have to pay cent pound post
age on each and every paper
Those Of our subscribers who have been
favored with extension OF credit and been
generously treated in this respect will
please take notice and make settlements
to at least January lst, 1908.
AS stated last week, The Banner does
not wish to lose single subscriber on ac-
count Of the post office department rul-
nRs or Cut off from the list the name Of
one Individual who has subscribed for the
paper. but the Banner has always tried to
do business in accordance with the law
and pay every obligation. and it sincerely
hopes and expects its subscribers will do
likewise. 1t will comply with the law in
this regard.
The ruling will undoubtedly compel
most papers to come to cash-ln-ad yance
basis in the near future. The fact that
persons name has been cut from a sub
scription list does not, however, release
him or her from the obligation. but re-
mains an Indebtedness the same as other
liabilities. Many statements have been
sent out recently and others will follow,
out all persons who know themselves TO
oe indebted TO The Banner on subscr ption
are asked to kindly attend to the matter
at once so that it will not be necessary to
call their special attention to the fact.
This new order will keep the newspa-
per men throughout the entire country
oretty busy for the next few weeks bring
ing their subscription lists up to the new
requirements.

good broad back stay and leather bound
tops. End: they cost no more than any other
These two reasons should be convincing
enough. Still seeing is still more convinc-
