Important Publishers’ Notice.

Beginning on October 1, 1918, we are putting our
entire periodical ‘business on a strictly cash basis, which
means that no subscriptions, neither from individuals nor
from agents, will be accepted except on payment of the
subscription price in advance, and all subscriptions will
nutomatically be canceled on that date unless paid for.

We rather expect to lose a few subscribers on account
of this move, but we confidently expect that, those of our
subscribers who do not realize the justice of our new
cash-strictly-in-advance policy will realize the patriotic
duty and civic necessity of instituting this policy, and
we are confident that the loyalty and patriotism which
characterizes our patronage will prompt them to help
us make the transition to the new policy with the least
possible discomfort to all concerned. ‘Those subscribing
through agents, for instance, will save themselves and
their agent annoyance by paying him in ample time to
enable his remittance to reach us before October 1, 1918.

At the same time we beg to announce a change in
our addressing system, which we hope to complete by
January 1, 1919, if we can get the new equipment by
that time. From now till then we shall not change the
date of expiration on the present address labels, and sub-
seribers are cordially asked to he patient with us during
this period. \ -

The expensive and really unnecessary individual wrap-
ping of most papers will be discontinued, — another item
of economy we must introduce if we Wish to materialize
our determination to delay the increase of our subscrip-
tion rates to the very last, forever if we can.

If your subscriptions to any of our periodicals are
not yet paid, do not wait for statement, but please pay
at once. You will be serving yourself, your Government,
and your publishers.
