PUBLISHER’S DESK 
A happy and a prosperous New Year 
to The R. N.-Y. family is the first mes¬ 
sage of the year to the friends of Pub¬ 
lisher’s Desk. 
standard of principles in the publishing 
business, honest men would seek another 
calling. Neither Lewis nor Success 
kept faith with the women who joined 
Lewis’s League and paid for the sub¬ 
scriptions in advance. Lewis discon¬ 
tinued several of his magazines and Suc¬ 
cess made low combination offers with 
Our subscription returns this month 
have not been quite up to our expecta¬ 
tions. Thus far they have been run¬ 
ning just about the same as last year. 
Of course, we had a big month last De¬ 
cember, but the list is some 15,000 more 
this year, and proportionately the re¬ 
turns ought to be more than last De¬ 
cember. We give the facts and the 
records just as they are. We have no 
doubts about the final results. We have 
never had greater assurances of support 
and encouragement than come in the 
daily mail which accompanies subscrip¬ 
tion renewals this month. Each season 
we have a pride in the subscription 
records for the first business day of the 
New Year. This will be next Tuesday. 
Last year beat all previous records. We 
would like to go last year a little better 
next Tuesday. If you have not yet sent 
y-our renewal, just sit down at once and 
prepare a remittance for the renewal 
and see that it gets into the mail Sat¬ 
urday. From most nearby sections it 
would reach us if mailed on Monday, but 
Saturday’s post will be most certain. 
Help us start the y-ear 1911 with a 
record-breaking subscription mail, and 
y-cm may rest assured that whatever 
'prestige and influence and power comes 
to the paper through .your interest will 
be used to promote your welfare during 
the year to come. 
In regard to the complaints against L. 
Itosenstein, Boston, will say that Geo. E. 
Hill and Walter Raymond, representing 
different parties, brought suit against said 
Rosenstcin. Lawyer Kittredge, of School 
street, Boston, tried the case and won their 
suit. The judge deducted live per cent 
from the total weight for shrinkage, which 
is agreeable to all shippers. It seems 
though, as far as known, all parties who 
sent fowls to Rosenstcin this Fall were 
served the same way. a subscriber. 
New Hampshire. 
The R.N.-Y. is glad to know that this 
case has been taken to the courts. It 
will be remembered that we had several 
complaints, all for shortage of weights, 
and had been able to get redress in 
only one, and not to the full demand 
even in that case. If the judgment is 
paid in the above case we will recom¬ 
mend suits in the cases reported. 
Our cheese factory here at Nelson has 
been sold to the Hi Nuovo Brothers Cheese

Metropolitan Live Stock Insurance Co., 
Syracuse, New York. 
Two judgments are reported as hav¬ 
ing been entered against this company- 
in the Ulster County, New York Court. 
One for $171.44 is in favor of Willis T. 
Roe, and the other in favor of Elmer E. 
Salem. Both cases were on the Novem¬ 
ber court calendar. We have had prev¬ 
ious inquiries and reports on this com- 
pany. j 
Do you think it advisable for a working 
widow to continue paying 71 cents per week 
to the Monaton Realty Co., Times Square 
Building, N. Y. City, with the expectation 
of withdrawing her money at the end of 
three years? She has one year more to pay. 
She has a 10-year $500 bond. As I un¬ 
derstand it. if she does continue payment 
she can only get $50 and some cents cash, 
for $110.76 that she will have paid in, or 
she can accept a paid-up certificate for 
$107 and some cents. I advise her to 
lose what she has paid and keep wh^t she 
has. Please give your opinion. c. w. w. | 
New Jersey. j 
If people will persist in putting their 
savings into such things, little can be 
done for them afterwards. If this 
woman stops payments now, she will 
lose aW she has paid in. If she contin¬ 
ues another year, she will have paid in 
$110.76 in all, and will get back accord¬ 
ing to this information only $50, or less 
than one-half her investment. All that 
she would have at any time is the prom¬ 
ise of a company^ which speculates with 
her money in real estate, to pay it back 
at end of 10 y-ears. If the company goes 
to pieces in the meantime as many do, 
then she would stand a good chance of 
getting nothing at all. Why in the 
name of common sense should anyone 
loan money to people they know noth¬ 
ing about, on any such terms? At best 
it is a gamble with your money. You 
take all the risks of failure whether 
through bad judgment or dishonesty; 
and they get the money in any case. 
“These stocks of yours are worthless.’’ 
“I don't care,” said the woman. “The 
broker is very accommodating. He lias 
exchanged them four times.”—Kansas City 
Journal. 
Kansas City is in the State of Mis¬ 
souri; and the editor must have had 
some experience with St. Louis paper 
stocks. The scheme of exchanging one 
worthless piece of paper for another is 
as old as the art of swindling. J. J. D. 
We had similar inquiries from West¬ 
ern New York about a year ago about 
Di Nuovo & Spadafora Cheese Co., of 
the same address. We could find no 
basis for credit, and so assured the. 
milk producers, and they- declined to 
sell. A neighboring town, however, 
took the company- in, and furnished 
milk. Reports at end of the season were 
that the proprietors skipped out after 
signing checks for milk bills to the 
amount of $18,000. The next week the 
clrecks came back unpaid; but we got 
no advice that Mr. Di Nuovo ever re¬ 
turned. Those further interested would

month. Unfortunately we are not 
always so successful. Of course $6 is

I have been a subscriber to Success 
Magazine for some time past. 1 had heard 
that it upheld Mr. Lewis, so when impor¬ 
tuned to renew my subscription I told the 
agent what I had heard, and that I would 
write to the editor. If I found that what 
I heard was correct I would not need the 
magazine. I enclose herewith a letter just 
received. It is needless to say I will not
