BY EDWARD o. CLARK.

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government Will en-
ter into new field OF enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by what
is known as the parcel post
1t is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands OF inquir-
les have been made of the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. 1t was
the law of congress establishing the
system which made provision for a
division of the country in zones
and into $4,000 units which are TO be
used as centers In describing the cir
Giles which mark the boundaries OF
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently. of this
zone system. but really 1t 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 I'm the coun-
try no matter where IT Is situated will
have zones drawn from It just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
1t. For instance. take Keokuk, Ia.
which is in 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 20 Keo-
ltuk than it has as related to Wash
ington. but as the radius OF the circles

or the postofliGe officials that the par
Gel post system should be made of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products TO transmit to
customers. II can be said in q general
way that anything can be sent which
Is properly wrapped and which will
not injure other mail matter with
which 1t may come in contact.
Copy Foreign Countries.
1t is probable that the government
will adopt a 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-lilSe arrangements, prob
ably will be adopted. and as these can
be kept separate from the ordinary
mail matter 1t 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 a 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 II II 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 II pounds. and
probably 1t would increase at no great
! er rate If the government we're to
raise the limit OF weight which is now
fixed
Every postmaster I'm 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 postoflce
as a center All that a postmaster
Will have to do when a percel is pre-
sented for transportation is TO find out
I'm what zone the destination of the
package dies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound
from the unit in which his postofTice
lies to the zone OF the packages des-
tination. the price, as has been ex-
planned before. TO every postofHce in
any one zone being the same. The
parcel post will take nothing but
fourth-class matter Printed matter
Ia still I'm the third-class designation.
Therefore books cannot be sent by the
parcel post system.
Rate on Seeds Not Affected.
II should be said that the act OF
congress which puts a parcel post
plan into operation does not in any
way affect the postage rate on seeds,
cuttings bulbs, roots. scions and
plants as fixed by section 482 OF the
postal laws and regulations.
