HOW IS YOUR LABEL? ‘ Though we have entleayorml to? explain it. there are still some who; are unable to intermet the meaning? of the label on The Chronirle. Leti us try to make it ('rlear. “her. 24", following the name indicates that; the paper is paid up to the end off the year 192-1. “Aug. 24” shows thel subscriber paid up to the end of Auâ€"l gust. 1924. According to our method i of marking, the paper expires at thel end of the month named in the year' indicated. “Dec. 09” means that the1 subscription is paid to the end of the year 1909. The labels are usually changed about the beginning of each month and the changed label is to be taken as a receipt for moneys re.- eeived. If money be sent at. any time during the month and the label is not changed shortly after the .beâ€" ginning of the next month, it would be well for the subscriber to make inquiry. About the end of the year .when renewals come in more rapidly than at any other season it means a . lot of work to acknowledge each reâ€" mittance separately. We hope we have made the matter sufi‘iciently plain.
