POSTAGE TO Be HIGHER
Taft and Hitchcock Decide to Raise the
Rate on Advertising Sections

President Taft and Postmaster Gen.
oral Hitchcock have reached an agree
ment as to the recommendations the
President will make to Congress re-
garding q change in the second class
postage rates as affecting magazines
and other periodicals.
Mr.. Taft will recommend that the
magazine be required to pay the pres
emit rate of l cent a pound on oil read
ing matter and a much higher rate, to
be determined later, on the advertising
pages. Each magazine will be required
to send a copy of its current issue to the
Postoffice Department each week or
month, as the case may be. There the
publication will be dissected. The
reading matter and the advertising
sections will be separately weighed and
the amount of postage computed by
the number of magazines sent out.
Newspapers will not be affected. The
average haul of the newspapers is but
800 miles, while the average haul of the
magazines is 100 miles.
Mr.. Hitchcock told the President that
the plan of separating the reading and
advertising matter in the magazines
was entirely feasible and he believed it
to be the proper solution of the problem.
The hauling of the magazines in the
mail has proved costly to the Govern
ment, and both the President and the
Postmaster General believe it has enter
cd largely into the deficit shown each
year in the Postofice Department. This
deficit has been largely decreased dur
ing the past year. a saving Of $11 .O00,.
900 having been reported as a result of
economies put into effect by Mr.. Hitch
cock. The adoption of a new rate for
the magazines. Mr.. Hitchcock believes.
will entirely wipe out the deficit and
put the postal establishment on a self
sustaining basis.

David Rauken, a Missouri farmer. has
just died, leaving a fortune of 50, 500. 900.
A good many years ago he began with
so acres of land in Missouri. He planted
il to corn. Corn has been his hobby eve
since. When he died he had $4,000
acres under perfect cultivation. In
1906 he planted $4,000 acres of corn and
harvested almost 1000. 900 bushels. He
simply believed that there was money
in corn if it was cultivated right. He
went to work oil that proposition. He
was always generous, always public
spirited. His income grew from nothing
to $3.50. 900 a year. He reduced farming
to an absolute system. He believed in
the rotation of crops; he believed that
according to the original intention the
soil should grow richer instead Of poorer

The State Teachers Institute for 1912
will be held in Wfnnemucca. The
Winnemucca delegation attending the
Institute at Goldfeld last week pre-
scented the claims OF Winnemucca and
was successful in having their town
chosen. The attendance at Goldfeld
was 1873. On account Of the distance,
only a few went from Reno. none from
Elko and Lander Counties and only two
from White Pine. Those going from
White Pine had the greatest distance OF
any to travel. There is no State
Teachers Institute next year. the ses-
sious being held once in two years.
Mrs. Leona Heating Of Goldfeld had a
peculiar and painful experience Wednes-
day while engaged 10 her household
sewing. One Of the fingers Of her left
hand was pierced through by the sew
ing machine needle, and held the finger
fast stopping the machine. Unable to
release her finger and fearing to break
the needle in that member, Mrs. Keat-
ing remained pinned to the machine for
nearly an hour before a physician ar
rived. 1t was necessary to remove the
top Of the machine in order to safely ex-
tricate the finger. Infection is the only
result now feared.
A pathetic story of youthful wrong
doing was brought to the office Of U. S.
Attorney Platt at Carson by Postal In
spector Driscoll, who had been called to
Elko to examine into the rifiing of a
post Office box in that city. His invest
CATION proved that an IL year old girl
had watched Banker Henderson of that
place open his post Office box. which is
locked with a combination lock, until
she was able to work the combination.
and one day opened the box and ex-
tracted therefrom a number OF letters
containing checks. She did not know
that the checks were of value and as a
consequence destroyed the papers.
