11^" Special Notice. ^M^ 



During the past winter and spring the 

 general cry has been : " Hard times, 

 please wait a little while for our sub- 

 scription." In consequence, our receipts 

 have been light, while our expenses have 

 not been lessened. 



We have cheerfully " carried " thou- 

 sands of our subscribers, and now trust 

 that they will respond as soon as possi- 

 ble, as we have obligations that must be 

 met at once. Many subscriptions ran out 

 with the JUNE number, but we hope 

 to hear from them now, as well as from 

 those that expired before that time. 



We shall continue to send The Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal to all our subscribers 

 until we get an explicit order from them 

 for a discontinuance, and we hope those 

 who do not wish to continue their sub- 

 scriptions will notify us by letter or postal 

 card either when they expire or before 

 that time. 



We ask those who are in arrears to 

 send us the amounts due or at least a 

 part of them, during this month, as The 

 American Bee Journal greatly needs 

 these amounts to ensure its continued 

 prosperit}^ Address
