MANY RATES TO BE OFFERED
Distance That Parcel is to be Carried
VIII be the Measure of Charge to be
Made by the Heavy
Work for Postal Clerks.

With<the advent of the parcels post
system operations on Jan. l, postal
employees anticipate a lively time. That
those designated to classify the serv-
ice and duly tabulate it's costs to the
individual shipper will have their
hands full for the first few weeks, goes
without saying.
All of the postal employees are I'M
der civil service, which means that, be-
fore entering on their duties, they
were subjected to critical examina-
ton along educational lines on topics
likely to come under their observation.
Most Of these examinations included
reading, deciphering of handwriting,
rapid mathematical calculations, and a
general English education along vari-
GUS lines.
1t is generally believed that when
a candidate for a postal position is
turned loose after a gruelling examina-
ton by the civil service commission
and armed with a certificate, he is
able to cope with almost any ordinary
postal exigency that is liable to rise.
But postal employees who expect to
be assigned to the handling of parcels
post mail are devoting their spare
hours brushing up their geographical
and mathematical knowledge in an
ticipation of new conditions which will
require surplus of gray matter which
they heretofore were not required to
exercise.

VITAL STATISTICS COMPLETED.
Report in Kenosha Shows That Births
Outnumber the Deaths.

The natural increase in the popula-
tion of Kenosha county is shown to
be very large by the report of vital
statistics prepared by the register of
deeds and made public today. This
report shows that births in Kenosha
county outnumber deaths two to one
and better. The increase in the
number of births over the former
year is abnormally large. The report
shows that the total number of births
for the year ending Oct. l, 1912, was
967 and in the same period there were
469 deaths aud 439 marriages. There
is good increase this year in the
number of marriages in the county
and the number of deaths is slightly
larger than in the preceding year.

classification, irrespective of whether

This is all changed in handling par
cells under the parcels post plan.
The clerk who is asked how much it
will cost to send pound of millinery
from Milwaukee to Kenosha will be able
to render decision with prompt &C
culacy. Keuosha is not far enough away
to puzzle the classifer and being with
in the 50-mile radius, the 5 cent rate
for the first pound and 3 cents for each
additional pound will be in force. Par
cells for delivery within the city limits
will be easily negotiated too, for the
reason that the fiat rate of cents for
the first pound and / cent for each ad-
ditional pound will be easily learned,
But there are many citizens in Ke-
nosha of foreign birth, and they will
want to send parcels to other relatives
in distant cities within this country,
the present foreign rates of IL cents a
pound being still in vogue. But if Miss
Mary Jones walks up to the general
Office and says she wishes to post
five pound sack of coffee to some
friend in an out of the way hamlet in
New Mexico or Vermont, the clerk
having the final say as to rates will
have to do little hair scratching to
obliga the postal patron without delay.
For, unlike the regular postage, par
cells are to be mailed on rates which
fuctuate in accordance with distance
For instance, Miss Susie Jones, leav-
ing parcel at the main Office to be
sent to the South side can very readily
be disposed of on the fiat rate basis
but when it gets to radius outside of
the city limits, not exceeding fifty
miles, another rate is effective, and if
it goes within $50 miles the rates raise
to cents for the first and 4 cents for
each additional pound, and then comes
the 1000 mile radius, liable to prove a
puzzler to the postal employee who has
not travelled sufficiently to say off
hand whether the distant, address is
1000 or 10000 miles away. Nine and Z
cents (the latter for each additional
pound) cover the 1,000-mile distance;
and then for those Kenosha people find
ing bargains in the local markets which
they wish to send to friends outside the
1000 mile radius. Uucle Sam will
obligingly act as courier up to the linn
it of eleven pounds at the small fee Of
IL cents for the first and 10 cents for
each additional pound.
just what system will be introduced
by Uncles Sam between now and Jan.
to familiarize postal clerks with the
relative distance of postal offices has
not yet been learned As the postal
guide already is overlooking with
rates, maps and schedules and dis
lance tables that would suit one COM
munity would be useless to another
zone, the thing looks puzzling to any
one not the author of an algebra,
geography or table of logarithms.

That a number Of amendments will
be made in the ordinance which pass
ed its first reading at the special meet
ing of the city council held on Sat-
urday afternoon, will be necessary be-
fore it becomes a part of the city
statute, is the claim made by a num-
Der interested.
II ordinance grants the Great
Northern railroad company permission
to construct a spur track from Fourth
street. through the alley between
Fourth and Fifth streets and Kittson
and DeMers avenue. At the session
of the council Saturday some opposi-
ton was manifested. and after the
passage of the ordinance for. the first
reading it was referred back to the
committee, with the request that
minor changes be made.
1t will be taken up again at the next
meeting of the city council, and it is
expected that as the probability of two
big wholesale houses being erected. is
contingent upon the: granting of the
spur track privileges. it will have but
little opposition.
Unanimous for Extension.
Although the special meeting of the
council was called for the purpose of
taking up the spur track ordinance,
the matter of the extension was also
discussed and the council is unanimous
in favor Of the annexation.

drivers are Il much maliEnrd lot, al
though they may do their best to- salts
