TO BUY

The city council has had under con
sideration for some weeks the question
of buying a new switchboard for the
telephone plant. 1t has been decided
to make the purchase and this will be
done as soon as a icy contract is ar
ranged with the farmers telephone
company. The present switchboard is
considerably too small to handle the
business of the Office and a new board
is absolutely necessary. The present
board has room for $50 lines and there
are $50 phones in use. AS there are
125 private lines for the business
houses it has been necessary to put
three and four residence phones on
every line. Under these disadvantages
Manager Shea and the central force
have given service that has on the
whole been satisfactory, and when the
new board is installed conditions will
be much improved.

Train Will Spend First Week on North
Western Line and Then Transfer
to Milwaukee Road for Week

The State College Dairy-Silo-Hog
Cholera train left Brookings at eleven
o'clock Monday morning, the first stop
being scheduled at Estelline. The
train consisted of sleeper, day coach,
demonstration fiat car, exhibit car and
special car for College Belle Wayne
and other valuable cows from the col
lege farm. The members of the party
were rather disappointed that no diner
was included this year, as they will
have to get their meals during the
short stops at the different towns.
The train will spend the first week
on the North Western line, ending
with Yankton Saturday night. Next
week towns on the Milwaukee will be
visited and the tour will come to a
close at Newark Tuesday evening,
April 6.
Prof. G.. A. Starring is with the
train and he sent us the following re-
port from Watertown of the first days
trip:
"The dairy-silo-hog cholera train fin.

visited the train. with great interest in
the demonstrations and discussions
presented. College Belle Wayne and
the other representatives of the State
College dairy herd and the demonstra-
tons Of milking machines and other
dairy utensils were centers of attrac-
ton. Various types of silos, effects of
hog cholera on animal organs, and for
age crops adapted to the state are
effectively displayed In the huge ex-
hibit car. Bulletins touching upon all
kinds of farming operations in the
state ere distributed to those who call
for them. The state bureau of immi-

STATE MEET HERE

Brookings has secured the state high
school meet for this rear and 1t will
be held at the college park about the
middle of May. This event has always
been held at Vermillion, but for the
past two or three years the sentiment
among the high schools has been in
favor of holding it in Brookings. The
board Of directors Of the Commercial
Club have pledged the club to guaran-
tee the financial end Of the meet, but
this will be easy IL the weather is good.
The State College has always held a
meet for high schools, and this year
the two meets will be merged, bringing
here every high school track team of
any importance in the state. 1t is
easy to see the advantages of bringing
this big bunch of high school men to
the State College.

HARD TIMES IN CANADA

The Register is in receipt of a letter
from N. A. Martinson, n of our
Canadian readers, who is in charge of
the j. l. Case Machine company's bust
ness at Regina. Mr. Martinson says in
part: Business conditions in Canada
have never been SO bad in years as
they are at present. This condition
commenced to show itself a year ago
when the real estate boom in cities
and outside farm land took an awful
slump. This was followed last spring
with a financial money stringency
throughout the country. due In a great
to overspeculation by both
farmers and the city people. These
conditions coupled with q light crop
the past year and the war In which
CANADIANS are called on 70 contribute

changes in every line Of basinsss.s

from one of our readers that the street
between the two school buildings be
closed to traffic during the school year.
The Register discussed this question

to bring the matter before the proper
authorities. The pupils. especially the

MISUSE POSTAL REGULATIONS

The following article of interest to
both newspaper men and subscribers
appeared in the Publishers Bulletin of
Chicago, from the pen of S. Sylvester
Baird:
The hundreds of cases we have to
contend with, wherein the publishers
themselves make the collection of their
delinquent subscription accounts al
most IMPOSSIBLE, leads us to now once
and for all put this matter up to all
publishers and their subscribers so
plain that none can mistake the law.
There never has been a postal ruling
or state law which prohibits a publish
er from sending sd apaper to the sub
scriber after the term of subscription
has expired. On the contrary, Art. 4,
Sec. 4l9, of the revised postal regula-
tons plainly states: THE right of
publishers to extend in good faith on
subscriptions is recognized and will
not be abridged" This article further
states that Copies of their publication
will be accepted for mailing to sub
scribers at the usual second-class rates
of postage for a period of n year
from date of expiration" Publishers
who desire to extend credit after one
year may do 50 by making a ledger

as for any other account.
The postal authorities have never in
any name indicated that they desire
to prohibit publishers from extending
credit on subscriptions, but a few
years ago they did revise the postal
laws to the extent of prohibiting mail
order magazines from using second
class mails to mail u hundreds of
thousands of copies of some cheap
trashy so-called magazines issued prin-
cipally for advertising purposes.
Thousands of publishers at this time
misconstrued this order and used it as
a iCNCldSc W iluutt bitil ouDSNl ibtio
to pay up and remit in advance. A
great many even now send out notices
requesting their subscribers to sub
scribe in advance because "the postal
regulations do not permit us to send
the paper after the expiration of your
subscription" Every publisher who
knowingly uses an argument oe this
kind to help keep his subscription list
paid in advance is telling a deliberate
lie.
This argument being SO common to
such a large number of publishers has
become so well advertised that a large
percentage of subscribers who had
been receiving publications on credit
became convinced that they did not
have to pay after their subscriptions
had expired. And many have become
SO thoroughly imbued with this idea
that they even threaten to report the
matter to the postal authorities. or

gree amusing to those who know the
laws, but on the other hand it Is most
deplorable when one considers the
thousands of dollars that publishers
have lost on subscriptions through the
ignorance of their subscribers or their
disposition to evade paying an honest
debt whenever they think there Is an
opportunity.
The local paper should be an educa-
tiOnal medium and II the publisher
publishes an untruth. 1t really Is no

fishers began correcting the evil they
themselves have caused.
To go into this matter as thoroughly
as possible. we are going to show how
impossible and how silly il is for intel
ligent people to come to the conclusion
that they do not have to pay for a
paper that they have taken from the
p~ostoffice. 1t is a point of common
person receiving and making use of
any article must pay for the same. This
common law principle would even
cover a case wherein a person receives
a paper not addressed to him and
makes use of it. He must pay for
same. There is no plan or argument
whereby a person who continues to
receive a publication from the post
office or postman can escape payment
the common law. The very latest case
of this kind that has come to our
notice is from Columbus, O.-The
newspaper report is as follows:
Judge George Thomas of Columbus,
o., recently decided that If a man ac-
cepts a paper that is SEN him he must
pay for it.. The decision was rendered
in the case brought by the Columbus
Telegram against a man for $2.35. The
Ta1noran, haI hnnn cont IN tho y,optc
home, and he had accepted the paper.
When called upon to pay for it he re-
fused, and suit was brought. When
Judge Thomas heard the evidence he
instructed the jury to bring in a YER
dict for the Telegram.
Judge Thomas rules hat the old
common law principle that what a man
received and Used he was bound to pay
for applied in this instance.
We can cite hundreds Of such carses
in every state. Supreme Courts have
also passed On such contentious and it
certainly seems that only the most ig-
norant would attempt to evade pay,
ment when the only defense they have
Is hat of not having ordered the paper
or of not agreeing to take same after
subscription had expired.
Also going still further into the law,
we wish to state that the subscriber
must pay all back subscription due,
before he can legally refuse to take
the paper from the postof1ce. The
courts have also held that removing
and not notifying publisher to change
the address and then refusing to pay
for the papers not received is prima
facie evidence of intention to defraud.
We have heard complaints of sub
scribers who state hat it is impossi.
bic under the present laws to stop a
publication. There is absolutely no
ground for such complaints, because
if a subscriber will only pay up and
then refuse to take the paper from
the postoffice or the postman, the post
master must notify the publisher that
the paper has been refused and the
publisher must cease to send the same
It's now up to publishers to use
these facts to correct this existing evil
and above all else stop issuing the mis-
leading statements that you cannot
send your paper after the term paid
for has expired.
