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 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 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-
lar 1t will be, how much 1t will cost
the government, and whether there is
to be profit or loss at the end of
each year. II 1t Is found that the
plan Ia successful from the point of
view OF the people, which means the
government Also. the parcel-po will
be extended until finally 1t reaches
the proportions which its proponents
say they believe It Is destined to as
sumo.
4 Zone System Explained.
II 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 into zones
and into $4,000 units which are to be
used as ccnters In describing the cir
Giles which mark the boundaries of
tho zones. There has been no clear
understanding. apparently. Of .ssis
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
mated. as the center. Accompanying
the map is table showing the rate
of postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
Gones.
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 viii
have zones drawn from 1t just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
It. For instance. take Keokuk, la.
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 az they
are numbered from Washington al
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
ongton. but as the radius of the circles
drawn from Keokuk is the same
nength az the radius OF the circles
drawn from Washington, Keokuk'a
Zone Six will be Just as far from ita

IN MEMORY OF BABY WICKER
SHAM.

Communicated
Our baby Is gone, those little feet
Dimpled and sofe and pink and
sweet
Will never tread life's rugged way
For her has dawned Gods glorious
day;
Hand in hand with One she goes,
And never pain or sorrow knows.
A little less than one short year
God loaned to us our baby dear,
Those dimpled hands. those wondrous
eyes,
We loved and deemed earth's fair
est prize:
Our home seemed happiest meath the
skies,
But now those hands so cold and
white,
Pluck at our heart strings day and
night
'Tis ever thus; the fairest flower
Blooms but to fade in one brief
hour.
And we. whose plans and aims were
high.
Were crushed to earth when death
drew nigh:
Now bowed with grief through life
We go,
And all our Joy is turned to woe.
Sweet baby, thy little life has given
For one short year glimpse of
Heaven.
And now with heart and home SO
drear,
We only wait the summons clear,
When We shall join our little one,
Our little one:
'Tis hard, but yet Gods will be done.
