NEW POSTAL CONVENTION
CAUSES GREAT INTEREST

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Widespread
interest IN the application of the new
postal convention between Spain and
seven American republics, including
the United States, is being shown by
American business men.
Its full significance in the way of
stimulating trade correspondence and
the interchange of periodical litera-
ture between the countries involved is
not properly appreciated by the pub
lic, Otto Praeger, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, said today. Mr..
Praeger headed the American dele
cation TO the convention of the
Universal Postal Union in Madrid last
November, where the Latin American
republics with Spain and the United
United States refused to follow the
lead of other European countries In
doubling existing foreign and do
mestic rates.
"It means that a mail order house
IN Chicago can now circularize Lima,
Peru, in search Of customers for the
same amount of money that it can
ciIcularize any American city" Mr..
Praeger, said "Great newspapers can
extend their mail circulation to al
the signatory countries at domestic
rates, while books and commercial
samples may flow back and forth be-
tween the United States. and South
America and Spain with the same
facility, and at the same cost a. be-
tween New York and Philadelphia
The advantage which viii accrue TO
the American business can only now
be estimated, but it will be enormous. .
Although Bolivia, Colombia, Peru,
Nicaragua, Honduras and Cuba are
the only countries whose new ar
arrangement with the United States
has already become effective, all other
Ct untries in the western hemisphere
except Canada signed the treaty and
will be affected by its provisions as
soon as their congresses have ratified
the pact
A feature of the agreement which
is of highest Importance according 70
Department of Commerce officials,
and which will serve to make Ameri-
can circular advertising matter much
more acceptable to Central and South
Americans, is that is win now be i'm
possible to send mail matter insuf-

SUBSCRIPTIONS HAVE PASSED
$4,000 MARK IN THE DRIVE FOR
MARION COUNTY board OF TRADE
Many Individuals and Firms are to Be
Seen Before the Campaign is Over.

Subscriptions for the Marion County
Board of Trade have passed the $4,000
mark. This being the FIST Of the
month members of the committees
have found it difficult to get away
from their private affairs. Neverthe
less, one committee is today working
out through the northern part of the
county. The other committee mem
bers will be on the job again tomor
row. The field has not been covered
yet by any means. There are still
many individuals and firms in 0cala
that the committees have not been
able to see thus far.
One of the items in the proposed
budget provides for a new edition of
the Ocala-M Marion county booklet. The
booklet, says the secretary of the
Board of Trade, continues to make All
impression wherever it is seen. One
party, an owner of tract of land
near Lake Weir, who is visiting the
property for the first time since 1895,
was attracted by the booklet in the
New York office of the Seaboard Air
Line and was delighted with it. As
a result this property owner is plan
ming development of the property.
Another recent visitor to the Board of
Trade stated that the Baltimore pas
senger agent of one of the railroads
informed her that the Marion county
booklet was more in demand than any
booklet in the ticket office The sec
retary says chat it will be possible to
make the next edition Of the booklet
ever better than the present one.
Proper distribution of the booklet is
dependent upon advertising, which is
another item provided for in the pro-
posed budget. The Tampa Tribune in
an editorial stated that the booklet
was the best county booklet that il
had seer, and added that in order tc
make the booklet most effective il
should be advertised and given circu-
lation. That this is correct is being
PhosSu IiAiiC anu again bS Tic kISSuIIS
obtained by towns and counties thru
out South Florida and elsewhere.
The booklet, of course, must be OF
a general character. For this reason
the commercial bodies that are getting
the best results have a publication
either monthly or quarterly, will
which to give publicity to the curren
developments as a follow-up to tn,
booklet. Provision for quarterly is
sues of the "Marion County F'loridian'
as an organ of the Marion Count,
Board of Trade is made in the pro
posed budget. Several issues of thi
publication We're published last yea
and attracted much attention.

BURLESON'S SUIT AGAINST
THE POSTAL COMPANY

A dispatch from New York says:
When asked yesterday regarding the
suit instituted by Postmaster General
Burleson against the Mckay Com
pany' Postal Telegraph System to re-
cover $2,400,0O0 of the earnings of
that company during the period of
federal control, William J. Deegan,
the secretary, stated as follows:
"Mr. Clarence H. MacKay, the pres
ident of our system, is en- route to
Cuba in connection with the laying of
our new cable to that island but he
has authorized me to say that for
nearly two years Postmaster General
Burleson and his legal advisors, one
Lamar, have had every opportunity TO
file this suit. We have been waiting
anxiously for them to try conclusions
with US in the courts and have pub
licly so stated. but during all this
time they have remained supinely
silent, because they realized that they
had no case. Now a few days before
being put out of Office they bring suit,
not IN the hope of recovering what
they allege is due the government, but
merely out of spite and vindictive-
ness. They bring il at this late day
so that they may shirk its prosecu-
tion and put the "onus" of the prose-
cution of weak case on to the new
administration. Mr.. Burleson by this
suit proposes TO take S2,400, 900,
which was earned by our lines by our
investment and our staff during the
year of federal control, while on the
other hand he actually paid to the Bel
Telephone and the Western Union
companies 0,0O0, 900 more than they
earned during federal control. Our
crime in Burleson's eyes was in refus-
ing 10 allow him to prostitute the war
time control for the purpose of forcing
government ownership of the tele.
phones and telegraph. He planned
that the lines would never be returned
to the companies but we spoiled hi:
