Free-in-county circulation provided
by the present law would continue as
at present. Daily newspapers will not
be affected, because they do not circu-
late beyond a 300 mile radius.
Among other provisions, the bill in
creases rates for mail order cata-
logues from two to eight cents a
pound, making them third class mat
ter instead of parcel post. This pro-
vision vitality interests every mer-
chant in every city throughout the
country. Although the cost of carriage
OF these catalogues for a long time has
been a great deal higher than charged,
no definite step has ever been taken to
increase the rate until the present pro-
vision was included in the %appropria-
ton bill.
The post Office committees of the
.,not, onl hn,cn HOY o pnnniunl 1itnr-
ally millions of names on petitions in
the past few months asking for a low
er rate than now charged. The COM
mittee has held a number of sessions
and made a very careful survey of the
situation, and believes that a lower
postage bill can be passed by con-
gress. Chairmen of the various COM
mittees and members of the commit
tees themselves have in many in
stances expressed their hearty approx
al Of the proposed changes, and it is
not expected that much difficulty will
be found in securing the lower rate.
1t has been expressly stipulated that
newspapers having a circulation with
in a 800 mile radius are not to be
affected by the proposed change, as it
is felt that their educational influence
is too valuable to have them affected
in any way, particularly as they sell
for a very small price, much less in
proportion than many of the national
magazines, which are carried several
thousand miles to their destination.
Last year first class mail made a
profit for the government of over
$75,0O0,00 o per year, while second
class or periodical mail lost a sum
equally as large, thus offsetting the
biggest item of profit which the post
office department shows. 1t is con-
fidently expected that an increased

ONE CENT

One cent drop" letter postage will
probably become a reality as a result
of legislation which it is expected the
present session of congress will enact
as a first step in the movement for a
general rate Of one cent for ordinary
letters.
An active campaign has been in pro-
gress for the last five years looking
towards one cent letter postage. This
has eliminated in a definite agreement
on the part of legislative authorities
at Washington to grant a one cent
local rate in all cities and towns where
deliveries are made. This is the first
step, the one which counts, according
to those who are prosecuting this cam
paign towards securing a general rate
for the entire country.
In connection with a one cent rate
for local first class mail deliveries it
is planned to have a zone system OF
rates for second Grass matter, which

HOW TO SELECT SEED WHEAT

Why not unite upon MARQUIS, and cut
out the others? Blue Stem and Fife are
very good but it is better to grow the same
kind and get a better price.
Screen your seed and fan out all trash,
immature kernels, weed seeds, wild oats,
etc., leaving the seed to be planted the
heaviest you have, with an equal amount
of plant food in each kernel, which will
cause it to mature at the same time, max
ing less waste at harvest. 1t all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
it contains bunt or sinking smut and treat
your seed with f~ormaldehyde before sowing.
How much Of your seed will srow7 1t is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece of
blotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like q book, count 100 seeds
just as they run into the plotting paper, put
q strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold of the blotter, wrap it up in q piece of
butter paper (greased paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in q glass of
water like q lamp, put the test on top of the
glass, do not let it dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open II and count so
many kernels strong, 90 many weak, 90

Is the variety which has the best
milling qualities and makes more
and better flour, therefore brings
the highest price to the farmers.
The elevators and mills will pay you
more because the wheat is worth
more. AS a rule, unless we have
just such a year as last year, MAR
QUIS brings better results because:

earlier than other wheat, avoiding
so much danger from winds and
