Anordered the paper for a yeai, and other source of unending annoyance to the publisher was the fcUbK-rii«-! who would take the paper without paying for it for two or three yeat*. and then more and leave no addreM.

^ fhe publisher had aent hi* paper in [NOK, t JC. F. SCTUC-K. ^ 00< j and then could whistle for

his tnd&ey.

The government malixing this, and to protect its second class mailing privilege, enacted a law forbidding publisher* sending papers to *ui. scribers who were more than a yeai in arrears. This helped some, but often the reader was annoyed, having subscribed for a year, and after thai upon the continuation of the papefor another year, found that they had

The cash in advance system over roes this. A reader reads the cash advance paper because he want* it, Ld not because the publisher keep ding 'll. When the time paid for C expired, the paper atop* eom^u. tijthe rnagaxlhes have the cash " l-A-t, system. The newspaper pub-
