Food and the Parcels Post.

New York World: A report from
Cincinnati says that ever since the pas
sage of the act providing for a parcels
post the postal officials have been re-
ceiving inquiries from farmers as to the
best way of packing eggs and live
chickens for mailing The inquiries
have of course a humorous aspect; the
officials are said to be worrying how to
handle the chickens, rabbits and guinea
pigs the farmers are going to mail as
soon rs the new system is in operation,
Against any seeming absurdity in
such expectations may be set the
seriousness of the situation in Philadel-
phia AS inst reported to Mayor Black
enburg. The people of that city have
to pay IS cents dozen for eggs in tho
markets, while the farmers just beyond
the suburbs get only 10 cents for them.
Equally absurd differences in prices
are found in all other kinds of food
stuNs of local production, and are due
solely to lack of easy communication
between the household and the farm.
