Using pages, this advance will produce

amount to approximately $4,000, 1t is
evident that out OF the increase Of

able to pay additional postage and still
retain considerable surplus for its

There does not appear to be any
way OF getting over that sort Of ar

IT looks as If tho Postmaster G encral

on his side. The magazines have been
going through the malls at newspaper
