 discontinuance, and until payment of all ar- 

 rearages is made as required by law. 



Newspaper Decisions. 



1. Any person who takes a paper regularly 

 from the post-ofiice — whether directed to his 

 name or another's, or whether he has sub- 

 scribed or not — is responsible for the pay- 

 ment. 



2. If any person orders his paper discon- 

 tinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the 

 publisher may continue to send it, until pay- 

 ment is made, and collect the whole amount — 

 whether the paper is taken from the office or 

 not. 



3. The courts have decided that refusing 

 to take newspapers and periodicals from the 

 post-office, or removing and leaving them 

 uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of in- 

 tentional fraud. 



Persons writing to this office should either 

 write their name, Post-office, County and 

 State plainly, or else cut off the label from 

 the wrapper of their paper and enclose it. 



The postage on this paper is only twelve 

 cents a year, if paid quarterly or yearly in 

 advance at the post-office where received. 

 We prepay postage to Canada, and require 

 twelve cents extra. 



Hereafter we shall mail a Printed Receipt 

 to everyone sending money to this office. — 

 Those who do not get such Receipt by return 

 mail, should notifiy us, that we may ascer- 

 tain the cause of delay. 



When a subscriber sends money in pay- 

 ment for the American Bee Journal, he 

 should state to what time he thinks it pays, 

 so that we can compare it with our books, 

 and thus prevent mistakes. 



Publishers needing cuts or engravings, will 

 do well to address the Manager of the Amer- 

 ican Publishing Company, who have a large 

 supply for sale that have appeared in "The 

 Illustrated Journal." 



Should any subscriber Avish to discontinue 

 taking our Journal, he should address a let- 

 ter to the Manager, and enclose the amount 

 due, and it will then cease to visit him. Any 

 other course is dishonorable. 



Every subscriber is requested to look at 

 the date after his name on the wrapper label 

 of this Number of the Ajierican I5ek Jour- 

 nal, and if it is not correct send a postal 

 card to this office, and tell us and we will 

 make it right at once. 



Binding. — We have been requested to get 

 sets bound for some of our subscribers, and 

 have made arrangements to get the nine Vols, 

 bound in three vols, for $4.00, or the same 

 in four vols, for jJ^o.OO. Those who wish to 

 avail themselves of these liberal terms nmst 

 send their numbers by express to the jNIanager.
