 CT single package to be carried and should charge In proportion just what 1t does now for one package of, II pounds weight.
 Every postmaster in the United States will have a parcel post map like the one which is here reproduced except that the zone lines will be shown with the unit of his postoffice as center. All that a postmaster will have to do when parcel is pre- sented for transportation Is to find out in what zone the destination of the package lies. His table will show him instantly the rate per pound from the unit in which his postoffice lies to the zone of the packages destina- tions, the price as has been explained before, to every postoffice in any one zone being the same. The parcel post will take nothing but fourth-class mat. ter. Printed matter is still in the third-class designation. Therefore books cannot be sent by the parcel post system. This the postofice au- thorities seem to think is in a way unjust and may work a hardship. It may be that in the future the law will be changed so as to include all print ed matter. It seems to be certain that an attempt will be made to bring about this change as speedily as pos. sible.
 Must Bce- Stamp.
 Postmaster General Hitchcock has ordered that postmasters be advised that parcel post packages cannot be accepted for mailing unless they bear distinctive parcel post stamp and have attached to them the return card of the sender. A series of distinctive stamps is now in course of prepara- tion for this class of mail as required by the law creating the parcel post system. Consignments of these stamps will be ready for shipment to all postofiices in ample time for the establishment of the new system on New Years day.
 The postofiee department has given instruction to every postmaster in the country to enlighten his patrons as much as possible on the general sub jeet of the parcel post and especially on the use of the special stamps and the necessary attachment of the re- turn card. The law requires that all fourth-class matter mailed 8 ,er Jan. uary 1, 1913. without parcel post stamps attached shall be treated as Held for postage" matter Parcel post packaees will he mailab1e only at postofflces, branch postofices, let tered and local named stations, and such numbered stations as may be designated by the postmasters.
 It has been announced by Postmas. ter General Hitchcock that nearly TO- 900 scales will be required for use in the parcel post system which is to go into effect January 1st He has ac- cordingly authorized the issuance of bids for that number Two hundred of the largest postofices and their branches will be supplied with auto matic springless scales. The next class of offices. numbering about 1O.- 900. will be given high grade beam scale, while the four class offices. numbering about 55 GOO. will be fur. nished with the best spring balances obtainable, each having a capacity for twenty pounds. These scales will be used by postmasters to determine the amount of postage required on parcel post packages The fact that many or the postoffices of the country are
The Forrest City times., 1912-12-27
By EDWARD B. CLARK.

With the coming of the New Year the United States government will en- ter into a new field of enterprise the transmittal of merchandise by what is known as the parcel post For years there has been a 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.
 It is the intention of Uncle Sam to move rather slowly in the parcel post matter. He wants to find how popu- Jar 1t will be, how much it will cost the government, and whether there is to be profit or loss at the end of each year. If it 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 1t is destined to as- sume.
 Zone System Explained.
 It Is no exaggeration to say that thousands upon thousands of inquir- ies 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 a division of the country into zones and into s. 900 units which are to be used as centers in describing the cir cles which mark the boundaries of the zones. There has been no clear understanding. apparently. of this zone system. but really it is a very simple matter.
 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 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 a center from which the zones are drawn and so every unit in the coun- try no matter where it is situated will have zones drawn from it just exactly as Washington has them drawn from at For instance. take Keokuk, la. which Is in a unit in the fifth zone. From that will be drawn circles ex- actly as they are drawn from Wash ington 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 it 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 win. be just as far from it's center as Washington's Zone Six is.
 How Rates Are Fixed.
 It can be seen frsm this readily enough that the postal rates from Washington to its particular zone will be the same as the postal rates from Keokuk to it's particular zones. Each unit being about thirty miles square will of course contain in most cases & number of postofiees. but each office in tho same unit is considered as be- ing tho center of the circles from
