The advertising story of State street,
Chicago, can not be told in a few
words. From Randolph street on the
north to Harrison street on the south,
comprising seven blocks on State
street, the principal dry goods, cloth.
Ing, shoe, jewelry and department
stores are now located Less than
thirty years ago the largest space used
by any merchant in Chicago, in any
of our daily papers, was one-half of a
single column; and the largest amount
paid by any merchant or firm to any
one paper for a years advertising did
not exceed $1,000. During the past
year number of State street mer-
chants have each paid from $4,000 to
100000 for advertising used in single
dailies, and careful, conservative
estimate OF the aggregate amount paid
for advertising in Chicago dailies dur
Ing the past year, by merchants in the
seven blocks named, reaches the grand
total of over 100000. Full ninety
five per cent. of this amount was borne
by fourteen leading advertisers. This
immense volume of advertising in Chi
cago dailies has been built up practi-
cally since 1883, a period of but twenty
years.-Mahin's Magazine.

Pruning Fruit Trees.

Apple and pear trees may be pruned
TO advantage during the summer, even
as late as the latter part of July, pro-
vided the pruning is not too severe.
AS rule most orchardists prune too
severely at all seasons, but during the
summer the work should be but a little
more than ''plnching back" unless the
trees are half-grown or older, when the
cutting back may be little more Sc
we're. There is no danger of the
growth which is made after summer
pruning being so tender that it will
winter kill, for the cut will heal randi
ly, and the growth viii not be very
great. This plan of summer pruning
checks the tall upward growth. and
does much to form the desirable head
on the tree. Try it on few trees this
summer and note the growth next sea-
son.

new POSTAL RATE
Recommended by Postmaster
General Wynne on Parcels
for Rural Service.
THREE CENTS FOR A POUND
Annual Report Characterizes Fiscal
Year Just Closed as a Most
Successful One.

Washington, Dec. 12.-In the annual
report of Postmaster General Robert
]. wynne, for the fiscal year ending
June 80, just issued, he urgently rec
ommends the establishment of new
rate of postage in connection with the
rural service for the delivery of small
parcels. II is shown that there has
grown up a demand by patrons of the
rural free delivery service for the
chandise. and the present rate of one
cent per ounce is declared practically
prohibitive.
For instance, a grocer who gets an
order over the telephone for pound
of coffee would have to pay 16 cents to
send it by rural delivery. The post
master general suggests to congress
that a rate of three cents per pound or
any fraction thereof be authorized for
packages of this class, no parcel to ex-
coed five pounds. This rate is intend
ed to apply. however. only to packages
deposited at the local postoffice for
delivery TO patrons on routes from that
Office. A special stamp is recommend
ed for this class of matter.
Would Combine Classes.
II is also recommended that third
and fourth class mail matter be con-
solidated at the rate of postage now
paid on third class matter-one cent
for each two ounces. This change, the
official argues, will have little effect
upon the revenues, owing to the fact
that fourth class matter is estimated
to be only about per cent of all the
mail handled and the reduction in rate
is expected to increase the amount of
fourth class matter handled without
appreciate additional expense TO the
service.
Decrease I'm Frauds.
In regard to the use of the mails for
fraudulent purposes and the promo
ton of questionable schemes. it is
shown that in consequence of the ap-
plicatiOn and enforcement of the stat
utes, there has been a marked decrease
in the number of such enterprises, un-
mistakably shown by the falling off in
the volume of complaints from the
public. The department issued 167
fraud ORDERS" as compared with Is
during the fiscal year preceding.
Year of Success.
The year is summed up as having
been one of most successful admins
tration. Postal revenues have increas-
ed. the service has been vastly bene-
flied by several important changes in
the classification of mails. the postal
facilities have been greatly extended
at home and abroad, the exchange of
money orders with foreign countries
has been simplified and cheapened,
and the parcels-post has been installed
in Japan. Hongkong and Norway.
