Regulations Affecting Second-Class
Matter Put in Force by the
Postmaster General.
LARGE sAVlNG IN EXPENSES EXPECTED.
Pound Rate Denied to Novels, Pre-.
MUM Sheets and Returned Papers
The Increase in Postal Revenue
Looked for May Make Possible One
Cent Postage for Letters.

4s Washington, Jrly 1S.-Postmaster
General Smith yesterday signed three
orders amending in important par
ticulars three postal regulations af-
fecting second-class mail matter. The
changes will eff ct sweeping and
radical reforms a the department
practices and M thods of treating
this class of mat er.
The Fl st Order.
The first order amends section 27e,
which is the gene raj definition, so as
to exclude from the second class pub
ications which have the characteris-
tics of books. This amendment is in
these words:
"Periodical publications herein referred
to are held not to include those having the
characteristics Of books. but only sucn
as consist of current news or miscellaneous
literary matter or both (not excluding ad-
vertising), and conform to the statutory
characteristics Of second-class matter"
IN Hits Premium Sheets.
The second order amends section
2s1 in several particulars, the princi-
pal one being that publications the
subscriptions to which are not found
ed on their value as news OF literary
journals, and which by the general
use of premiums or other considera-
tions in the form of chances to win
prizes, etc, to induce subscriptions,
in effect circulate at apparently a
nominal rate, will be excluded from
the second class. The essential para
or iS follows.
The subscription price must be shown
by the publication, and when it appears
from the contents, or from the extrinsic
inducements offered in combination with
it, that the circulation of the publication
is not founded on its value as news or
literary journal. and that subscriptions are
not made because of such value, but be-
cause its offers of merchandise or other
consideration result, in effect, In its cir
culation at apparently nominal rate, such
publication does not come within the re-
quirements of the law for acceptance as
second-class matter"
Returned Papers.
The third order amends section 301
so that unsold copies of second-class
publications may not be returned at
the pound rate to news agents or to
publishers. An explanatory state
ment given out at the department re-
garding the order says:
THE action Of Postmaster Gen. Smith
is regarded as highly important. 1t is evil
dence of the purpose of the department to
administer the law as it is, strictly and
properly, and that abuses wherever found
will be eradicated. Loose and Indifferent
Interpretation heret fore is responsible for
the loss of many ulions to the govern
ment. It is believed that when the effect
of these changes is thoroughly established
many postal improvements will follow and
one-cent letter postage will be made pos
sible."

The Minnesota State Agricultural
Experiment Station has been engag d
for ten years in making new kinds of
wheat. and enough has been accumu
lated last year to give seeds to a num-
Der OF farmers for field tests, The
reports indicate that the new kind
thus produced will average about two
bushels to the acre more than the cd
kind, which, in three states of Mime
sofa. North Dakota and South Dakota,
would make a crop larger by 10000 900
bushels. amounting to about S22, 000,-
900. The new wheat is produced by
crossing two selected heads CT the best
old varieties, thus making one head of
the new. The work is done by trans
ferring the pollen from the flower of
n mead to the stigma of the flower
OF the other. A tissue sack is then
slipped over the latter to protect it
from insects and birds. The process
is always uncertain. however, for the
new kind may have none of the good
qualities of the two old kinds used;
on the other hand. it may be better
than either of them. No one can tell
in advance what it will be, and that is
why the experiments extend over so
long a time.-Chicago Journal.
