Quite a number of our friends,
some OF whom have taken the Her.
aid for several years, will fail TO re-
ce.ve the paper this week by reason
Of the failure to heed our plea for
payment. AS we have repeatedly
stated, il is not a matter of choice
with us. The law expressly forbids
cur sending the paper to any sub
scriber who is more than three
months in arrears, and we must
obey the law. 1t is our sincere de-
sire to reinstate all who have for
any reason failed to pay up, and we
trust that most of those will attend
to this promptly. In checking our
list to comply with the law, it is en-
tirely probable that some who are
not in arrears may have been in
adyertly left off the mailing list 4.
In any such cases we invite those
interested to call our attention to
the mistake and we will cheerfully
and promptly make proper correc-
zion. All subscribers in arrears are
expected to pay all dues whether
they desire to renew or not but Of
course we are anxious that they not
only pay up, but have their names
restored to our list by renewing
their subscriptions.
