MEMBERSHIP DUES DUE JANUARY l, 1920, All dues, which include the annual subscription to The Journal of the National Dental Association, are due January 1 of each year. The March Journal will not be mailed to any delinquent members. The ruling of the postoffice authorities is adamant on this proposition. Therefore, any dentist who has not already paid his state society dues for 1920 should do so immediately. The state society officers are coop erating with the National organization and will immediately upon re ceipt of the State dues mail the National dues to the National office. It will be impossible for us to furnish back copies, as we are only printing enough to supply our bona fide mailing list. An immediate compliance with this notice will save the delinquent member a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding.
