largest agricultural publishing firm!
 in the country. Its magazine is never seen in the cities but circulates or
 the farms. It perhaps is a credit
 to New England publishing that 6
 magazine can be successfully mark
 eted so far removed from the cen
 ter of population. From the Lewis
 ton Journal, therefore, we glimpse
 this illuminative bit of evidence re-
 garding how 1t is being done:
 When a publishing house is able
 to deliver it's second class mail from | Augusta. Maine, to points in the
 southwest, via steamers, freight and | deliveries from entry post office in 1 Dallas, Texas, in quicker time, at
 less cost than by entry in the post
 office at Augusta, Maine, it would | look as though congress might as
 well pay more attention to things l that await immediate solution than | ii'NNli to tIlC Ol pOilliAS that so engross it. This publishing ! house not only does this but it can save thousands of dollars a year. The decrease in the second ass mail since 1920 amounts to 21,15S,-
 Al pounds annually. This is the only form of postage that has de- Clined in amout. Its decrease is &C., celerating. The government has lost an income so far of $7,000,000 by the distribution of newspapers and periodicals. The government may not know the reason but the American Newspaper Publishers association knows. If the nation wants publications to use the mails it must fix rate that is logical and that will enable them to do business.
 The post office dr9artment and congress, 1t is self-evidcnt, shrinks from granting lower second-class rates on account of the space occu- pied in publications by the adver- tisements. The claim is made that the government need not send ads through the mails at low rate, al- though it would be willing to dis tribute pure literature" at a low CT rate The folly of this is that the adds in second class matter do not J-I ,rt fro, hn cro1 nlln+tn1 n n literature, but merely add 10 the bulk. It is just as cheap to handle a larger sized publication as a small one: and there is no objection by publishers to pay for increased ! weight.
 Correction of minor blunders made in the postal rate legislation of 1925 is well under way. One-cent postage on private mailing cards will be returned, the bill having passed the House. The rates on second class matter-publicatio when mailed by other than publish CTS or news agents, likewise will be lowered. The present rates have almost entirely eliminated the sending of newspapers by an indi- vidual to a friend.
 Refusal by Congress, however, tc revise the second-class rates down. ward merely means that the public pays the increased freight indirectly.
