How the New Parcels Post System Will Operate
SEND PRODUCE BY MAIL
Beginning New Year's day at
*> a. in., the new parcels pest
law goes into effect. According
to the recently published regula
tions governing this law, any inhabi
tant of the United States may then
send through the mail merchandise of
certain descriptions, providing it does
not weigh more than eleven pounds
and is not more titan three feet wide
nor more than six feet in length.
These regulations, however, prohibit
the mailing of live snakes and birds,
intoxicants, pistols and inflammable
material. On the other hand, the ship
per is allowed to mall butter, lard. fish,
tiesii meat, dressed fowls, vegetables,
fruits, berries a.nd similar articles.
Fresh meats, however, may be trans
ported only stt-miles, and if for any
reason the paicels post is unable to de
liver this or other perishable matter
they can be turned over to charity
organizations. Provision Is made for
insuring parcels and they can also be
registered.
One point has been particularly em
phasized and that is that all packages
will have to be taken to the postoffice
by the sender. This means that none
of the numbered drug stores sub-sta
tions will be allowed to accept this
class of matter, though it may be de
posited at any’ of the larger postoffice
stations.
Delivery By Wagons.
The delivery of the packages will be
made with the same regularity that
now prevails in distributing the mail.
I hese deliveries will be made by wagon
under a ftfteen-day contract with those
who are now carrying the local mails
in each city. At the end of the flfteen
day probation the government will
make the contracts permanent.
Another interesting feature of the
new departure in mall delivery’ is the
institution of the zone system through
which the government will fix the
charges to be made on packages. In
formulating this system the govern
ment has used the circle w’ithln circle
plan adopted by European countries.
In all there are eight of these zones,
each defining a territory and fixing
charges to be made upon parcels. The
center of these zone circles to all in
tents and purposes is any postoffice in
any’ town of the Ignited States where
the shipper may happen to reside. The
zones have been also divided into units
or sections, in which towns and cities
are situated.
For instance, the parcels post map,
with its numbered units printed on it,

The little girl was ill when the news
of her father’s death reached Atlanta.
She was unable to attend his funeral,
but her illness did not become critical
until yesterday.
Besides her mother, she is survived

er brothers. The funeral arrangements

will show that New York city is in unit
717, which is the first zone. The limits
of this zone are 50 miles. The second
zone will be still greater and the eighth
zone will take in Alaska and the Ha
waian islands.
Each Locality Zone Center.
As each locality makes its own first
zone it lias been necessary for the post
office department to print separate
maps for all sections of the United
States.
The first zone of 50 miles includes
what is called a local zone. The maxi
mum charge for the local zone is five
cents for the first pound and one cent
for each additional pound. After that
there is a graduated Increase, the sec
ond zone having a radius of 150 miles,
the third 300 miles and so forth until
the eighth zone, which includes every
town over 1,800 miles away.
Separate provision has been made for
all packages that weigh four ounces or
less. Like the present system of
fourth-class matter, there wiM be a
flat rate of a cent an ounce. If a pack
age weighs over four ounces it will be
charged the pound rate.
Every clerk and every postmaster
handling the parcels post will have a
map and a guide book holding the key
to the numbered units in the map. The
postoffice department has also issued
a guide book and map that can be pur
chased for 75 cents.
Special Stamps Used.
A special series of stamps has been
engraved and will be used exclusively
on this class of mail matter. These
stamps will be obtainable on January
1 at any postoffice station.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of the
parcels post will be to the farmer who
desires to sell his goods direct to the
consumer. A postal card ordering a
dozen eggs mailed one day will bring
the eggs to hand on the following aft
ernoon.
The following is a rate list formu
lated by the postbtfiee department to
govern package shipments.

GOV. HADLEY WANTS
PORTRAIT, LIKE T. R.,
TO GIVE TO STATE
ST. LOUIR, MO., Dec. 30.—Governor
Herbert S. Hadley, as a parting gift to
the state, when he retires from office in
January, will present a painting of him
self to be adde<l to the gallery of gov
ernors. Hadley wished to look as much
as possible like Roosevelt.
This painting is by Carl Waldeck and
is the same that some time ago the gov
ernor’s son decided to complete by paint
ing in an eye. He nearly ruined the pic
ture, but the artist was able to remove
the daubs.
The governor found great difficulty in
finding an artist who gave him exactly
tho expression that ho desired. Tiie first
painting by a Kt. Temls artist was re
jected and led to legal troubles for the
governor. It show’ed him as wearitig a
plain black tie, and this tho governor
objected to, as he claimed that he al
ways wore a blue polka dot tie, like
Hoosevelt.
