Fifty-two weeks in the year the editor of a newspaper is a mach ine, grinding out news for his leaders. He has no regular work ing hours.

This he does conscien tiously and to the best of his ability, sticking to it. from morn ing until night every day in the week and 52 weeks in the year. The great majority of the edi tor's subscriptions, too, expire about this time of the year, eith er in December or tile first of January.

If you, dear reader, arc one whose subscription has or isabout to expire send us the renewal now It is due us, we have earned it, and you will fee! all the better for starting out on a new year with your paper paid ahead. Newspaper Rules. I'Vw readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the laws governing subscriptions, .'ollowing are the decisions of the supreme court of the united States upon the subject. Subscribers who do not give ex- ‘ ureas notice to the contrary are ] -u.iisidered as wishing to renew heir subscriptions. I f sub-cribers order a discontin- i ..mce of their periodicals tlie publisher may continue to send them until all dues arc paid. If the subscriber refuses to take periodicals from the postof ,ice to which they are directed lie s responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered his paper j liscoutinued. If subscribers move to other | places without informing the pub- j riaher. and the psoars are sent to 1 ' I the former address, the subseri her is held responsble. The courts have held that re fusing to take periodicals from the postoft\ce, or removing and leave *.hem uncalled for is prinia facia evidence of intention to defraud. If subscribers pay in advance • hey are bound to give notice at the end of the time they do not wish to continue taking it, other wise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all papers with payment of all arrears is sent, to the publisher. The construction of good roads and the proper maintenance of these same roads after they have been built, will be the principal subjects of discussion at the Fifth I Annual Convention of the Color ado Good Roads Association to be held in Denver, January 20 and 111 At the same time necessary changes, in the present highway laws will be considered. Definite announcement has also been made by the railroads of the state that reduced rates on ac count of the good roads conven tion will be made, and that tick ets from all points to Denver will be on sale January 17, 18 and 20. with final return limits of the 2Cth These dates of sale also accom modate those desiring to attend the annual meeting of the County Commissioners’ Association to be held in January 18 and 10. The attendence of the good roads convention this year will be representative of every sec tion of the state. This is due iri a i great measure to the election at j which funds, available in 1916, j were voted by a record majority j and every part of the state is now j eager £b see that their section be ' comes reconized in the construc- I tion of bettor roads. | It is the purpose of the State i Highway Commission to perfect ! plans so that when the fund for j road building becomes available in 191 G active work may be push ed which will mean the opening of every section. It is also ex pected that at this convention del egations from the different counties of the state will be on hand to push claims of their re spective sections to better roads. The San Juan country isespec ! i.-illy interested in the construction •of roads which will open up that section. This is also true of the north-western part of the state, as well as oilier sections. The United States Government will be represented at the con j vention. The opening address will be delivered by Governor | Carlson, who at Miat time will probably outline his views on the | good roads question. He is an en thusiatic good-road worker and will, it is known, do all in bis power to push the construction of better highways in all sections of the state during his term of of fice.
