SUPREME COURTS NEW RULING
Says Subscriptions Must be Paid
Where Notice to Stop Not Given

The supreme court of the United
States has just published a ruling
in regard to newspaper subscrip-
tons which in substance makes a
subscriber who takes his paper
from the postoffice and refuses to
pay subscription guilty of felony
and liable to arrest as any other
who defrauds.
The following is a synopsis of
this decision in our final courts,
and is published in the Herald as a
matter of information for its sub
scribers:
l. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to renew
their subscription.
2. Subscribers ordering the dis
continuance of their periodical the
publisher may continue to send il
until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or re-
fuse to take their periodical from
the postofhce, they are responsible
until they settle their bill and order
their paper discontinued.
a. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher and any papers are sent to
the former address, subscribers are
responsible.
S. Refusing periodicals from
the postoffice or moving and leav-
ing them uncalled for is prima
facie evidence of intention to de-
fraud
S. If subscribers pay in adj
vance they are bound to give notice
at the end of time if they do not
want to continue taking, other
wise the publisher is authorized to
send and the subscriber will be
responsible until an express notice
with payment is sent to the pub
Usher.

PLANNING FOR APPLE SHOW
Dates Not Yet Determined-WiIl Have
Wider Scope This Year

Spokane, Wash, Sept. IL
Minus the carload exhibits and
with education and Improvement
OF orchard methods and marketing
as the central features the sixth
National Apple show will be held
ia Spokane early in November the
exact dates not having been
selected.
II suggestion OF H. c. samp-
son, manager of last years show,
Is followed, the name will be
changed to the sixth National
Apple Show and Fruit Products
Conference, Mr.. Sampson be-
lieves the new name will better fit
the enlarged purposes and scope
of the exposition. James S,
Ramage has been chosen chairman
of the board of trustees of the 1913
show.
For many reasons the carload
exhibits have been eliminated
The chief reason is to permit of
greater attention to the education
al and conference features.
Former Manager Sampson has
suggested slogan somewhat like,
Take care of the man on the job, "
to indicate the service idea of the
show. He proposed to the board
that the three main features be
conferences of growers, education
and exhibits.
1t is proposed to devote the con-
ferences to marketing and distribu-
ton, by-products, associated buy
ing and financing. Northwestern
agricultural colleges will be asked
to take leading part in the edu-
cational program. There will be
packing school and a champion
ship packing contest. In addition
to the apple exhibits there will be
shown all kinds of modern orchard
appliances.
