PARCELS POST IN fFFfCI WEDNESDAY, Postoffice Employees Are Ready to Inaugurate New
 Service Here. rrYrr rreE vYT ~ a1ro
WILL USE WAGONS
New Stamps Also Received, But Spe. cial Delivery Service For
 Packages Is Delayed.

Postmaster F. c. Furtll said yes terday that he and his force of clerks were ready, as much as possible, for the inauguration of tine new parcels post law which becomes effective Wednesday. January 1, 1913.
 For weeks Mir Furth has studied tie provisions of the new service and on several cccas 'ons has called his clerks together and imparted much information to them that is necessary for the operation of the service. \ An official notice was received yes terday from the department at Wash ington that special delivery for par cells post packages will be prohibited for some time. One reason for this is that no special s.amp for this pur- pose has yet been designed. The mo- 'tice also stated that the c. O. D. prov.si would not be used for some time. This has been known for sew eral weeks.
 No contract will be made for Nhe delivery of parcels post packages. Mir. Fnrth has already made arrange ments with a liveryman to obtain wagon or several if needed and ten- tative agreement has isen made for the use of automobiles in the event the consignments are too numerous for one or two wagons to take care of.
 On January 15 Postmaster Furth will make an elaborate report of the ,sysem, giving the amount of business done, both incoming and outgoing from the Pine Bluff office. By that date the officials whll have some idea of the status of the bus ness and with the half mon,h's experience can work out tie details to finer de- gree. It is expected that better estimate of the incoming consign- ments can be made and contracts for delivery of packages will be let.
 Plans have already bsen made fol a parcels post department in the bu .lding and MT. Furth said he thought the basement wiuld be util- ized. The fixtures will be similar to rnoss in the main building, with one sect on fer outgoing and another for incoming shipments. Packages may be mailed at West End station but at no other sub-statians. nor can they be placed in the boxes. The! must also bssr the especially design ed parcels posa stamps and tde name and address of the sender must Ds written on one corner of the pack age.
 The official gu de issued by the de- nartment is about an inch thick. one of course, is in the hands of Post uuas.er Furth. and the other is al the Chamber of Commerce. The sub iect is treahde in detail but 1t IS the opinion of those who have made \ short study of the service that Il Xviii Yhe smanys monfhs. before the pub EFlcs becoisaes M aceuss soped to it. sshinment of the new issued oi aaaaama sPacific Exposition stamps have been received att the local office

We Americans don't appreciate the

For instance, consider our weight
men. Jim Duncan throws the discus

an eight-foot, two-inch circle. The
best that England's champion, Hen
derson, can do Is 124 feet IL inches.

lin 1877 feet IL inches, and Snedi-
gar (English) 1876 feet, 1 inch. Flax
