The Condition Is Not Our
Making ok CHOostNc.-The War
Industrial Board has ordered that
all newspapers must rot carry any
subscribers on their subscrip
tion lists who have not paid
in advance, and the order
is to go in io eff ect at once. There
are fifteen rules in the regulations
laid down for the government of
the newspapers, and the publish
ers are required to make sworn
statements as to how each regula
tion is being carried out. 1 hese
measures are being put into effect
to conserve print paper, and it is
likely that the publisher who dis
regard these rules as laid down by
the War Industrial Board will be
refused his usual supply of paper.
Phis condition is not of our ma
king or chosing. The War Indus
trial Board rules that beginning
October 1st no newspaper shall
carry a subscriber who owes more
than three months on his subscrip
tion, and that subscriptions must
be paid in advance.
So if you should go to the post-
office after October 1st, and find
no paper there, you will under
stand. Pay up at onee and avoid
being cut off.
