THE “HAPPY DAYS”
WILL SOON BE HERE
When You Can Send Most
Anything You Wish by
Uncle Sam.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.
Regulations to cover workings of
the new parcels post system
which is to go into operation Jan
uary 1 next, were made public by.
Postmaster General Hitchcock
to-day. The new system will be
effective throughout the entire
postal service at the same time
and will effect every postoffice,
city, rural and railway mail trans
portation route in the country.
Every precaution will be taken
by the postoffice department to
have the mails moved with the!
usual dispatch and all postmas
ters, superintendents and inspec
tors have been directed to thor
oughly familiarize themselves and
their subordinates with every
phase of the new system.
The regulations provide that
parcels of merchandise including
farm and factory products (but
not books and printed matter) of
almost every description up to
eleven poinds in weight and
measuring as much as six feet in
v length and girth combined, ex
cept those calculated to do injury
to the mails in transit, may be
mailed at any postoffice for de
livery to any address in the coun
try.
Delivery will be made to the
homes of people living on rural
and star routes as well as those
living in cities and towns where
there is delivery by carrier. Where
there is at present no delivery
carrier the parcels will go to the
postoffice as is the case with or
dinary mail. The postage rate
for the zone—that is, within dis
tances not exceeding fifty miles,
will be five cents for the first
pound and three cents for each
additional pound. Rates increase
for each succcessive one of the
eight zones into which the coun
try is divided, the maximum rate
being 12 cents a pound, which
will carry a parcel across the
continent, or even to Alaska and
the Phillipines.
For a fee of ten cents a parcel i
may be insured and if the parcel
is lost in the mails an indemnity
to the amount of its value not t<
exceed SSO will be paid to the
| sender.
The law provides for the use of
distinctive postage stamps and
' there is now being distributed to
| postmasters for use in the par
cels post system a set of stamps
of twelve denominations. Parcels!
post maps with accompanying!
guides are to be sold to the pub
lic at their cost,7s cents, through
the chief clerk of the postoffice
department.

ONIONS OVERCOME HEROES
Could Fight Fire, but Onions
Floored T hem.
Chigago—Onions were cooked
by the ton when a three-story
warehouse filled with them
caught fire and blazed up rapidly I
a few doors from a hospital last;
night. The hospital officials re-,
quested the firemen not to sound
their gongs or make unnecessary
noises and the fire chiefs com- 1
municated with their lieutenants]
by signs and sent notes to the]
1 pipemen.
The silent fire fight was foiled, j
however, by the powerful odor;
of the cooking onions which per
vaded the entire district within a
half mile radius. Several fire
' mien were overcome by smoke
and one pipe crew after another
was put out of action by the tear
compelling power of the raw on-'
ions on the lower floors.
The Beggar.
Capt. Bush Lumsden says:
“This is the season for the pro
fessional beggar. They migrate
I South during the winter like the
birds. A few days ago two men
in a one-horse wagon drove up to
my house. I was absent. One
remained in the wagon. The
other, a hale, hearty man pulled
out a type-written petition for
aid. My wife replied, as she
stood at the gate, ‘You are strong
i and healthy and can work,’ ‘I
am the cripple, ’ shouted the one
1 in the wagon. Now, such should
not be allowed. Every one is
willing to help the sure-enough
needy. But here was “beggary’
traveling on wheels, going the
rounds in the country to dupe the
unsuspecting. There should be
some law to protect the charitably
inclined from imposters and pro
fessional beggars, who live by
graft and imposing on the credul
ity of farmers’ wives.”—James
Calloway in Macon Telegraph.
