Sip KUjohlk Banker ESTABLISHED 1 S 4». By W. C. B. HARRISON Published every Tuesday and Friday and entered in the Postoffice at Ligonier, Ind.. - second class matter. iftW iOTiCE Postal Rates Bar Foreign Subscribers for County . Newspapers The New postal law which went into effect July Ist will work a hardship and a great disadvantage to puo lishers of newspapers. In some instances the postal charge makes the mailing of a paper prohibitive. For instance it but one paper is mailed to the Bth zone it will cost the Banner 3% cents an issue or 6$ cents a week. This is the new rate per pound or fraction thereof.

The Banner is obliged to discon tinue all subscriptions not paid in advance outside the second zone and

subscribers residing in the other zones will takejthis a^notice from the publisher of such action. Those who care to have the paper continued will send the additional postage.

In some instances subscribers re siding at a distance from Ligonier owe back subscriptions which should be paid. The publisher will take it as a favor if payment is made promptly as the money is hard earned ano due him.

To subscribers receiving their paper in Noble county the subscription price will, for the present at least, remain $1.50 the year in advance. The same subscription price may be

maintained in the first and second zones which means^ithin 150 miles of Ligonier.

In the 3d zone, from 150 miles to 300 miles the subscription price is $1.75 in advance.

Fourth zone from 300 to 600 miles $2 in advance.

Fifth zone, 600 to $l,OOO miles $2.25 Sixth zone 1,000 to 1,400 miles $2.50. Seventh zone 1,400 to 1,800 $2 75. Eighth zone 1,800 and over $3 00. -

The postal rates increase each year for 4 years which will necessitate a revision of the subscription list of all newspapers each year.

The crop, locally speaking, looked very good on June Ist but commercial growers are beginning to be more or jess pessimistic about the yield. The monthly crop report of the government for June estimates the apple crop of of Indiana at 62 per cent and that of the United States at 69.8 per cent. The same report gives the onion prospects for the nation at 92.1 per cent and for the state, 94 percent. The ten year average for the state is 89 per cent.

Farmers should inspect their frosted crops carefully as many are finding that corn which they thought was gnly slightly damaged is ruined. County seed dealers should see that the County Agent knows what seeds they are able to supply and the prices for them so that he can give the informatiorLto the many farmers inquiring for seed every day.

Ninety day government co^n 'is any quantity, good for silage purposes, can be obtained through the County Agent on short notice. Farmers must not fail to put every frosted acre to work before it is to late. (Signed) B. V. Widner Emergency Demonstration Fail to Agree Owners of the 43 threshing outfits in Noble county met at the court house in Albion Wednesday but failed to agree upon a schedule of prices for threshing grain. It is thought the f blowing schedule will prevail: Oats, 4 cents: barley, 5, cents; wheat, 6 cents, and rye, 8 cents. Unless an agreement is reached soon it is probable ithe county council of defense will take a hand and settle it.
