These rates are for within the Zone
distance named. For instance, a
package going 60 miles would take the
$50 mile rate; and one going IT'S miles
the 300 mile rate, because the first Is
more than SO miles and the second
more than $50 miles.
u All articles heretofore included in
|Fourth-class (merchandise) and some
additions may be sent, but postal mat
ter Of First, Second and Third classes
remain at the old rate of postage. Fol
instance, books, pamphlets magazines
newspapers and most items Of printed
matter, cannot be sent by Parcels
Post.
The regulations, do not provide the
COLLECTION service. Assurances have
been made that the postal experts will
inaugurate this service after several
months They want more time to
study the operation Of the parcels
tpost. The law, however, makes il
mandatory upon the Postofice De-
fpartment to provide collect-on-de-
livery system. 1t is pointed out that
10 per cent. of the express business
lis done on a system by which the con-
rsignee pays all charges.
:. The insurance feature is provided
"A tax of 10 cents per package, is as
sessed on every package, and in con-
sideration thereof the Government
stands to indemnify the sender for
loss up to $50.
Farmers, truckers and city house
keepers are interested in the new
plan, as many food products can now
be mailed, such as butter and lard
h, dressed meats and poultry, vege-
!. 4 nldDles, etc. The mailing of butter and
lard, in the summer time, seems tc
indicate that it would have to be sent
i'm cans or jugs All such articles are
mailable only within the SO mile limit
and all must be plainly marked "per-
ishable." Baskets of eggs may be
mailed only on local delivery routes
when sent to more distant points they
must be enclosed in corrugated paper
boxes.
Postmaster Gorsuch directs special
attention to the following provisions
of the law: All packages must be
properly prepared for mailing and in
such a manner that the contents can
be easily examined; only special par
cells post stamps must be used. Par
cells mailed with ordinary postage
stamps cannot be dispatched but will
be held at the office; parcels must not
be deposited in collection or package
boxes and are only mailable at the
postoffice or when presented to a ru-
raj or other carrier authorized to re
ceive mail. All parcels must bear
the sender's name and address, other
wise they will not be received fol
