AN ADVERTISING PLAN
Where Prizes Are Awarded Excluded
 From the Mails

Washington, July A.-A largely operated advertising plan is excluded from the mails by decision rendered by Acting Assistant Attorney General Barnett for the postofice department.
 The plans consist of puzzles with prize offers whose solution is easy by counting dots in a circle, spokes in a wheel, or ar ranging set of jumbled letters to form names of prominent persons, but the catch is in provision imposing conditions on successful contestants. The heavy mails following, the department holds, is design ed to lead patrons to believe they have won valuable prizes conditioned on their obtain ing subscriptions, selling articles, etc. The department in directing the postmaster at Boston. in a test case, to refuse to accept for mailing circulars relating to such schemes holds that they deceive the ored- ulous and uneducated.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
System Ia Growing In Popularity and
the Department IL Planning
to Extend 1t.

The post Office department at Wash
ington is constantly receiving large
amount of evidence tending to show the
popularity of the rural free delivery
system where it has been tried, and the
desire for the extension of the service
to other territory where it is not yet
in operation. The original appropria-
ton by the last congress under Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration for the
trial of the system was $50, 900, and the
Fifty-fourth congress followed this
with an appropriation of $150,0OO to
continue the experiment. The congress
just ended increased this amount to
100000, and the system is now consid-
cred practically permanent feature OF
the post Office department.
It is said by the officials that great
satisfaction has been expressed
throughout the country, and those IA
miliar with the subject say that in pop
ulous sections, where the country 10
thickly interspersed with farmhouses
and correspondence naturally Is con-
siderable, the system will be self-sup-
porting. The only persons. it is said.
who are opposed to free rural delivery
are the fourth-class postmasters, who
lose not only their revenue from stamp
collections, but also the privilege Of
doling out provisions of various kinds
to the patrons of the Office, who, natu-
rally, in a good many cases. deal with
them in the grocery line. the fourth
class postmasters usually keeping 9
store.
The service has now been extended
by the department to nearly all states
and territories, and In such states al
have made application the department
is now considering the most advisable
systems to introduce. In some of the
sparsely-settled regions, where thu
farms are large and the distance be
tween houses is great, the experiment
Is being made with a biweekly and tri
weekly system. instead Of daily.
