der the new parcel post law. It
should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express
companies, but that on shorter hauls
It can so compete. 1t was the ex-
pressed desire of the legislators and
Of the postoffice officials that the par.
Gel post system should be made of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit. to
customers. 1t is probable that pro-
ducers must study the rates Of post
age and the convenieuce OF trans
initial and compare them with the
cost and convenience under present
methods before individually man can
determine whether he is to profit or
not by the change. Then there is an
other thing to be considered and
which only can be known definitely
when fuller regulations have been
made to specify exactly what kind of
things can be sent by parcel post. 1t

1t Is probable that the government
will adopt means Of transportation
for certain kinds Of it's merchandise
much like those which have been
adopted in parcel post countries
abroad. What the English call ham,
pers, basket-like arrangements, prob
ably will be adopted, and as these can
be kept separate from the ordinary
mail matter It Is believed that the
regulations as finally adopted will al
low the sending of eggs, butter, dress
ed poultry, live poultry, honey, fruit.
and other products of the country.
The 11-pound limit for single pack
age may work at first against any
very extended use of the parcel post
for some of the articles which have
been named. OF course, more weight
can be sent IL It is sent in different
parcels, but the cost in that case
would be heavier because the in
crease per pound on a single package
is not great up to IL pounds. and
probably it would increase at no great
er rate If the government were to
raise the limit of weight which is now
fixed. To make it simpler, it will
cost more to send two packages Of II
pounds than 1t would to send one
package of % pounds If the govern
ynent eventually should allow a heayi.

BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government will en-.
ter into q new field of enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by
what Is known as the parcel post
For years there has been q demand
for such a system Of inexpensive
transmittal of packages. The camps
OF favor and disfavor of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
divided. Finally at the last session
Of congress a bill was passed which
will put the plan into operation, but
only 1t must be said in little more
than an experimental way. --
1t is the intention of Uncle Sam to
move rather slowly in the parcel post
matter. He wants to find how popu-
lar 1t will be, how much it will cost
the government, and whether there 10
TO be profit or loss at the end of
each year. II 1. is found that the
plan is successful from the point of
view of the people. which means the
government also. the parcel post will
be extended until finally 1t reaches
the proportions which its proponents
say they believe It is destined to as
sumo. "a - ~" ..
Zone System Explained.
1t Is no exaggeration to, say that
thousands. upon thousands of fnquir-
les have been made of the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. It was
the law Of congress establishing the
system which made provision for q
division of the country into zones
aud into as, 900 units which are to be
used as centers In describing the cir
> efss which mark the Boundaries Of
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently, of this
gone system, but really 1t Is a very
simple matter. - ~E.t>.
The accompanying map shows the
country divided into zones from the
unit In which Washington is sit.
uated. as the center. Accompanying
the map Is q table showing the rate
Of postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
zones ..>
Each unit contains an area thirty
miles square. Now each unit is q
center from which the zones are
drawn and SO every unit in the coun-
try no matter where 1t is situated will
have zones drawn from it just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
II. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia.
which is in a unit in the fifth zone.
From that will be drawn circles ex-
actly as they are drawn from Wash
lngton and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one. just as they
are numbered from Washington as
number one OF course, however.
Zone Six will have a different geo
graphical position as related to Keo.
kuk than 1t has as related to Wash.
ington, but as the radius of the circles
drawn from Keokuk Is the same
length as the radius of the circles
drawn from Washington, Keokuk's
Zone Six will be just as far from it's
center as Washington's Zone Six is
How Rates Are Fixed.
| 1t can be seen from this readily
enough that the postal rates from
Washington to it's particular zone will
be the same as the postal rates from
Keokuk to its. particular zones Each
unit being about thirty miles square
will Of course contain in most cases a
number of postofices, but each office
