CITY LETTERS ] CENT, MAYBE
New Bill in Congress Would De
cas- Postage.

A letter may be Sent firstclass for
one cent within the city limits of
Mexico or any other city and the big
mail order catalogues will be charged
from 2 to s cents a pound postage, if
the bill that is now up for considera-
ton, is passed by Congress.
The annual postoffice appropriation
bill has been completed in the com
mittee department, and the measure
carries appropriations totaling $327,-
900 ,000. A zone rate for newspapers
and magazines, which are now pay
ing a flat rate of one cent a pound
is regarded as one of the most radi-
cal changes in postage rates in years.
The country will be divided into
eight one with rates ranging from
one cent for 300 miles to six cents
for 1900 miles. If papers do not cir
culate over 300 miles they will not be
materially affected by the proposed
change.
The bill gives to the Postmaster
General greater authority over lotte--
les and all other matters pertaining
to a misuse of the mails. The rural
appropriation of $50, 900, 900 was rec
commended by Assistant Postmaster
General Blakeslee.

HIGH lost OPP p

The American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association has started a cam
paign to rouse the public to the dan
ger arising from the exhorbiant price
OF white paper. 1t is said that over
1000 newspapers will be forced to
quit business.
The International Paper Company,
the largest manufacturer in America,
announced that it will raise its price
to $40 a hundred at the mill, an in
crease of 65 per cent over present
charges. The present charge at the
mill, we understand. is SfS5 per humid
red. What this means can be iudg-
ed by the statement that the Mexico
Ledger now pays $3.50 in the open
market to which must be added the
cost of freight and handling. This is
over three times what is paid at the
MINIS "heh the price at the mills
goes to 1910, the price to US will at
the same proportion, be about $1,000.
Numerous publishers are %announs-
ing that they will at once advance their
rates. Arthur Capper. the Kansas
publisher, has given notice that he
will lower the circulation of his farm
papers from 100000 to $4,000, and
small newspapers, instead of trying to
increase circulation, as usual, are elm
mating the delinquent subscriber and
advancing their weekly subscriptions
to $3.50 or $500 per year.
Publishers who continue in business
are forced to extraordinary means Of
economy. One publisher in America.
1t is claimed, must pay $500, 900 more
a year for his white paper, than for
merly.

Mem. NOTES
(By Laurence DeMuth.)

DR.. J. T. Davis, of Bloomington, ILL.,,
addressed the Mcmillan assembly al
yesterday morning on why Some
People Fail in School, Professional and
Business Life; While Others Sue
coed"
DR.. Davis has lectured to many stu
dent bodies in the United States, and
says he invariably finds students
who are worrying whether they will
get by or not" at is this poor scol-
arship, lack of ambition, and careless
ness in our high schools and colleges,
which aus such inefFiciency in the
business world today" he said. ITO
the person who applies himself in high
school and college, every school day
pays an income Of 1926 per day in
future life" Thas IS, the efficient
man or woman today has il forty
years Of business life a 1925 per dag
advantage over the ignorant man.
To acquire this efficiency does not
mean to be a good fellow" and get
in on the pull" but hard application
to studies and things which are worth
while. Drink, cigarette habit, unfit
company, the gang" spirit, loafing,
are foes which must be overcome.
DR.. Davis has a pleasing personali-
ty, and a humorous touch which i'm
mediately caught and held the atten-
ton OF all.
After a short story by the Rev. o.
o. Green, the assembly was dismissed
and DR.. Davis departed for NJ. NJ. A.,
where he delivered an address at
1890.
