UNCLE SAM AFTER
COUNTRY PUBLISHERS
Subscribers More Than a Year De-
linquent Must Pay or Be
Taken Off List.

The Times and other country pa
pers find they are up against a hard
proposition just at present, and are
liable to find ourselves in serious
trouble just on account of being a
little lenient with some of our sub
scribers.
Some time ago the postal depart
ment ruled that weekly newspapers
should not be sent to subscribers
after they become one year in ar
reaTs. The Times has tried hard
with kind words to get its subscrib-
ers to keep paid up within this
limit, but without entire success.
Many of them, people of wealth.
have not given heed to our call to
pay up. But the day of reckoning
is close at hand All country pub
fishers the past week received from
the postal department. a letter call
ing attention to the law, and asking
for report on every copy of their
paper, in which. the publisher must
state under oath how many copies
he is mailing to subscribers who
are year or more in arrears. and
on which one cent postage should
be attached each week. This rate
of postage as everyone knows. is
sufficiently high to prevent the pub
Usher from complying without a
direct loss to him, and the matter
adjusts itself in the solution that
the only thing to do with these
people who are either awfully neg
lectful or else expect two or three
years credit, is to drop their names
from the list, rather to suffer the
consequences of the postal laws.
Consequently the letter received
from the department, means the
parting of the ways" and as much
as we would like to go on extending
credit to subscribers to whom we
please, we can not longer do so.
Please remember, this order must
effect all alike, whether you are rich
or poor, and Uncle Sam is behind
the gun. He tells us what we must
do. Now do your duty, and do it
quick, if you are one of the neg
lectful ones.
! No doubt many have not taken
the warnings given heretofore in
earnest, probably thinking that it
was a plan on our part to get the
dilatory ones to be more prompt. If
so, we hope the reading of the above
will show our sincerity in the mat
ter Look at the tag on your paper
or wrapper and the date stamped
thereon tells to what date your pa
per is paid.-WincheSter Qll)
Times.
The Democrat has not yet Fe-
ceived the notice above referredto
/ from the Government, but suppose
it will be here soon. Please see
that your subscription is paid at
! least to sometime in 1912. We
have no option as to extending
credits. Uncle Sam says we must
have cash. You will take due notice
thereof and govern yourself accord
ingly.

$l,5OO In Cash Prizes at the
Peninsula Apple Show

The Peninsula Horticultural Society
will have the biggest Apple show ever
seen on this Peninsula at its meeting
in Wilmington next January. The Will
mington Board of Trade contributes
$500 in cash besides taking care Of rent
for hall for the meeting and exhibition
rooms for the fruit and vegetable dis
plays. The Delaware Board of Agri-
culture contributes $500 in cash. The
Society itself will make up another $500
Special premiums will also be solicited
and will add materially to those cash
prizes and the value of the premium list.
The largest prizes will naturally be for
apples, as this fruit can be kept for a
winter exposition much better than
peaches and the other more perishable
fruits. and there are three or four large
cash prizes for the best general display
of apples. and liberal prizes for boxes
and plates of all the leading commercial
varieties. Apple growers should begin
now to send their fruit to cold storage
for this show. 1t will be stored free Of
charge at the Wilmington Abattoir and
Cold Storage Company, 230 Tatnall St..
Wilmington, Delaware. The full pre-
MUM list will soon be out and will offer
liberal prizes for all fruit and veget-
ables and for canned fruits, etc.. and
may be had by addressing the secretary.
Wesley Webb, Dover. Delaware.
Hon. F. M. Soper. President of the
Society. requests especially the smaller
growers to make exhibits and assures
them that the premium lists is arrang-
ed for them as well as for the big fel-
lows. Every farmer should be inter-
ested because this show means better
fruit, better farming, better prices for
lands, and more profits to the farmer.
hence more comforts and luxuries for
his home.
