Him For His Work?
There IL one unique phase connected
with the life of the umpire which per

ers Of baseball. You have often been
to a theater and seen the hero or hero
ine-yes. even the villain-win round

You have been to a football game
and heard some ball gladiator cheered
to the echo for making long run that
resulted in a touchdown or for fly
ing tackle that prevented imminent
defeat. When some player Is injured
they convey their sympathy to him by
cheering his name.
You have been to ball game and
heard the fans cheer some crack

an incident. Just dot It down In your
notebook that you were present at q

in the stands who sympathize with the

Higher Rate to be Charged
on Advertising Pages
Of Periodical
President Taft Hopes to see
Penny Letter Postage
Very Soon

| Washington, Oct. 31.-Taft and
Postmaster General Hitchcock reach
! ed an agreement today on recon-
| mendations the president will make to
congress regarding the change in Sec
ond class postage rates as affecting
magazines and other periodicals..
Taft will recommend that the mag
azines be required to pay the present
rate of one cent per pound on all
reading matter and mucn higher
rate, to be determined later, on ad-
vertising pages. Each magazine will
be required to send a copy of its cur
rent issue to the postoffice depart
ment each week, or month. as the
case may be- This publication will
advertising sections will be separately
weighed, and the amount of postage
computed by the number of magazines
sent out Newspapers will not be af-
fected. The average haul of news
papers is about 300 miles. while the
average haul of magazines is about
LOO miles.
Hitchcock today told the president
that the plan of separating the read
ing and advertising matter In maya
zines is entirely feasible and he be-
lieved it to be the proper solution Of
the problem. The hauling of maya
zines in the mail had proven costly
to the government. and both the
president and the postmaster general
believe it has entered largely into the
deficit shown each year in the post
office department. This deficit has
been largely reduced during the last
year. saving of $11 100000 having
been reported as result of econo-
mics put into effect by Hitchcock.
! The adoption Of the new rate for
magazines, Hitchcock believes, will
entirely wipe out the deficit and pu,
the postal establishment on SELF
sustaining basis. Taft is looking for
! ward to one cent rate for letter
postage and hopes to recommend 1t
before he leaves the White House.
! He homes also back up his recon-
mendation with figures and estimates
which will show that letter postage at
this rate will bring a profit to the
government.
The establishment of the proposed
new rates as to magazines. the presi-
dent believes, will do much IT, bring
about the penny postage plan. At
Ithe same time, he thinks that the
magazines will be compelled to pay
only their just share in the postal
expense.
