BY EDWARD 9. CLARK,

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government will en-
ter into a new field of enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by
what is known as the parcel post.
For years there has been a 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.
1t 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 it will cost
the government, ard whether there Is
TO be a profit or loss at the end of
each year. If it is found that the
plan Is successful from the point of
view of the people, which means the
government also. the parcel post will
be extended until finally it reaches
the proportions which its proponents
say they believe 1t is destined to as
sumo.
Zone System Explained.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inquir
tes 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 {
division of the country into zone'
and into 5000 units which are to BIZ
used as centers in describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries o
the zones. There has been no cleal
understanding, apparently. Of Iii
zone system, but really 1t is a yer.
simple matter,
The accompanying map shows thu
country divided into zones from thu
unit In which Washington is sit
uated, as the center. Accompanying
the map is q table showing the rat
of postage per pound for parcels iron
Washington to places within all tn
zones,
Each unit contains an area thirt
miles square. Now each unit is
center from which the zones ar
drawn and SO every unit in the cour
try no matter where 1t is situated wi
have zones drawn from 1t just exactl
as Washington has them drawn fror
1t. For instance, take Keokuk. la
ioh &c, ir in tho HPth
From that will be drawn circles e,
actly as they are drawn from Wasl
ington and they will be numbered frol
Keokuk as number one, just as the
are numbered from Washington q
number one. OF course. howeve
Zone Six will have different ge
graphical position as related to Ke
kuk than 1t has as related to Wasl
angton, but as the radius Of the circle
drawn from Keokuk is the SAN
length as the radius of the circle
drawn from Washington, Keokuk
Zone Six will be just as far from i
center as Washington's Zone Six Is
How Rates Are Fixed.
It can be seen from this readi
enough that the postal rates fro
Washington to its particular zone wi
be the same as the postal rates fro
Keokuk to its particular zones. EaS
unit being about thirty miles squa
will Of course contain in most cases
number Of postoffices, but each Off

ting the center of the circles fro
The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1912-12-28

which the zones are drawn. The
rates of postage are fixed from the
unit in which the sending postofIice is
situated, but the price to every place
in any zone is just the same. To IL
lustrate, it will cost exactly the same
amount to send a parcel from Wash
ington to Erie, Pa, that it costs to
send it to Atlanta, Ga, because Erie
and Atlanta with reference to Wash
ington are situated in the fourth
zone. The rates therefore are fixed
from the unit in which the postoflce
is located, but they are the same
from that office to any point in any
one zone.
1t will be seen by reference to the
table Of rates of postage that it will
cost more per pound to send pack.

send 1t. short distance. The rate in
creases for a package weighing one
| pound at the rate of one cent for
each zone. No package weighing
more than IL pounds can be sent un-
der the new parcel post law. 1t
should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express
companies, but that on shorter hauls
it can so compete. 1t was the ex-
pressed desire of the legislators and
of the postoffice officials that the par,
eel post system should be made of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. It is probable that pro
ducers must study the rates of post
age and the convenience Of trans
initial and compare them with the
cost and convenience under present
methods before individually man car
determine whether he Is to profit OF
not by the change. Then there Is an
other thing to be considered ant
which only can be known definitely
when fuller regulations have beer
made to specify exactly what kind o
things can be sent by parcel post. i
can be said in general way that any
thing can be sent which is properl!

The Spirit OF Spunk.

People hesitate about going to sanatoris
because they think that they are gloomy
places. They imagine rows of wan, sad
faced consumptives lying on rest chairs
amid an atmosphere of melancholy.
Ifyou feel this way aud are advising
consumptives not to go to sanatorium,
read "Spunk", little magazine pub
lished by the patients at the State Sana-
torium at Mont Alto; or better yet, visit
the Sanatorium ITSELF We're it not for the
occasional illusions to tuberculosis, you
would think that "Spunk" was a board
ing school or college magazine. 1t Is
full of jokes and tales OF Sanatorium life.
Everything is goodhumored. There is
cheerful magazine imaginable.
Visit the Sanatorium aud you will un-
derstand why. There is so much sun
shine, the buildings are so attractive, and
the nurses and doctors are so ready to
enter into the life of the patient that no
one can feel gloomy.
The patients are lighting for their lives,
and they know it. Do not mistake that.
But they have the spirit of Spunk, and
though often they are facing death, they
do II with smile so that the patients he
side them will not lose courage.
The Sanatorium is your best friend. 1t
is a good place to be. Show the spirit of
Spunk and go there if it is necessary. So

tsry. Pennsylvania society for the pre-
ventiou of tuberculosis.

For the first time since 1885, that is to
say for almost twenty years, the un.
divided responsibility for legislation and
administration will rest upon the party
which stood so nearly right with Grover
Cleveland and went so frightfully wrong
with Bryan IN the disastrous adventure of
1895. The deadly influence of Bryan and
Brysnism upon Democratic fortunes and
usefulness ends with the Inauguration of
President Wison-if President Wilson so
wills. The best wish that "The Sun" can
express for the President-elect, COM
paratively untried man facing an I'M
paralleled opportunity. is that he may
seize upon the windpipe of Bryanism at
