Ruling Very important 20
Newspapers and Subscrib-
ers.

On and after January 15, 1910,
the ruling of the United States
Post Office Department with re-
ference to delinquent subscribers
will be rigidly enforced. This
law as our readers doubtless
know, provides that newspapers
mailed to the subscribers who are
in arrears for a period longer
than one year shall be subject to
such an increased rate of postage
as to render it entirely too costly
for the newspapers to continue
mailing the paper to such delin-
quents.
The Hustler, without entering
into a discussion of the merits or
demerits Of this iidling, has no
desire to violate the law neither
isitin a position to pay increased
postage charges on papers to
those who owe for: more than
twelve mont his, therefore there is
no alternate before us but to dis
continue mailing The Hustler to
those who fail to settle.
The post Office department has
suspended the operation of this
law until January fifteenth. This

portunity to pay. up their back

Advertising of cities as well as

cities that might be named are
spending thousands Of dollars
each year in efforts to attract the
attention of people in other cities
and in neighboring States. In
many cases this work is done
with great skill. and by men who
are thoroughly familiar with
their calling. We recall a NUM-
Der of cities which employ ex-

grams of news value, and In

be termed advertising is, to he

good news stories and get the

Noting this tendency a recent
number of the Illustrated Sunday

Lajoie's contract with Fletcher calls

TO play his ten games at Kansas

Lajoie would not say that Fletcher
talked with him today in reference to
the third league which he proposes
forming next year, but did admit that
he had had several talks with Fetch

Fletcher had received the contracts

auto. Hugh Chalmers. donor OF the
prize for the leading swatsman, has
offered another machine TO President

served, the st. Louis incident will be

first prize for advertising purposes
will get a lot more publicity. MIR.

was happy thought. His message TO
Ban Johnson follows:
II sincerely regret the controversy
that has been caused by my offering
an automobile to the leading batsnan.
| would much prefer not having Of
fered a car at all than to cause any
aspersions to be cast upon the hon
esty OF our national game. For the
purpose OF settling this controversy
why not consider II tie between La
joie and Cobb as far as the automo-
bile is concerned and | will gladly
give a car to each OF the two, TO be
presented to them at the worlds
series games at the American league
grounds In Philadelphia next Monday
or Tuesday. Wouldn't that be q good
way of settling the controversy and
wouldn't 1t stop all present gossip
which, II continued, may hurt the
game? II seems to me that the pre-
sentation to each one OF them OF a
car i'm this public manner would
square things all around and the un-
pleasantness would then be forgotten

Naturally the National leagures plump

Larry Lajoie may not have been q

The fans In every American league
