MUST PAY FOR
NEWSPAPERS

The following is a synopsis of the United
States supreme court decision regaring de-
linquent subscribers.
/. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to renew their subscriptions.
2. II subscribers order the discontinuance
of their periodicals MISUNDERSTANDING con-
tinue to send until all arrears are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the post Office they
are responsible until after they have settled
their bills and ordered their paper discon-
tinued,
4. If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher and papers
are sent to the former address, subscribers
are responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the office or moving
and leaving them uncalled for. is prima
facie evidence of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance they are
bound to give notice at the end of the time
if they do not want to continue taking it.
otherwise the publisher is authorized to send
it, and the subscribers will be responsible
until an express notice with payment for all
arrears is sent to the publisher.
