Zone Six will be just as far from its
center as Washington's Zone Six Is.
How Rates Are Fixed.
1t can be seen from this readily
enough that the postal rates from
Washington to its particular zone will
be the same as the postal rates from
keokuk to its particular zones. Each
unit being about thirty miles square
will OF course contain in most cases a
number of postofflces, but each Office
In the same unit Is considered as be-
Ing the center of the circles from
which the zones are drawn. The
rates Of postage are fixed from the
unit in which the sending postofice is
situated, but the price to every place
in any zone Is just the same. To H.
lustrate, 1t will cost exactly the same
amount to send parcel from Wash
ington to Erie, Pa, that 1t costs to
send 1t to Atlanta Ca, 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 postofiice
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
age long distance than it does to
send 1t a short distance. The rate In.
creases for 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. Il
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
1t can SO compete. 1t was the ex
pressed desire of the legislators ant

BY EDWARD q. 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.
1t 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. It was
the law of congress establishing the
system which made provision for q
division Of the country In zones
and into $4,000 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir.
cles which mark the boundaries Of
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently. of this
zone system, but really 1t Ia very
simple matter.
i The accompanying map shows the
country divided into zones from the
unit in which Washington is sit
uated, as the center. Accompanying
the map is a table showing the rate
OF postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
zones.
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 will
have zones drawn from 1t just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
1t. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia.
which is in a 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 as they
are numbered from Washington al
number one. OF course, however
Zone Six swill have a different geo
graphical position as related to Keo
kuk than It has as related to Wash
ington, but as the radius Of the circles

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
Just approved the regulations which
cover In detail the articles which may
or may not be sent by parcel post.
The rules as to what can be sent
and what cannot be sent and the In
structions for the preparation of mail
able articles with other official ad-
vice" are given here as they have just
been prepared by the postofflce de-
partment In Washington.
The minimum rate will be five cents
for the first pound and three cents for
each additional pound to any point not
exceeding fifty miles from the office of
mailing; the local rate, which is FIVE
cents for the first pound and one cent
for additional pound, applies to all
parcels the delivery of which does not
involve their transportation on rail-
way lines. The rates increase for
each successive one of the eight zones,
the maximum rate being twelve cents
pound, which will carry a parcel
across the continent or to any Of our
possessions. Parcels will be limited
to eleven pounds in weight and six
feet in length and girth combined.

Of the postoffice officials that the par
Gel post system should be made of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. 1t can be said In general
way that anything can be sent which
is properly wrapped and which will
not injure other mail matter with
which 1t may come In contact.
Copy Foreign Countries.
It Is probable that the government
will adopt means of transportation
for certain kinds Of its merchandise
much like those which have been
adopted in parcel post countries
abroad. What the English call ham,
pers, basket-like arrangements. prob
ably will be adopted, and as these can
be kept separate from the ordinary
mail matter it is believed that the
regulations as finally adopted will al
low the sending of eggs, butter. dress
ed poultry, live poultry, honey, fruit.
and other products of the country.
The 11.pound limit for single pack
age may work at first against any
very extended use of the parcel post
for some of the articles which have
been named. OF course, more weight
can be sent If it Is sent in different
parcels, but the cost in that case
would be heavier, because the in
crease per pound on single package
is not great up to II pounds. and
probably it would increase at no great
er rate II the government were to
raise the limit of weight which Is now
fixed.
Every postmaster in the United
States will have parcel post map
like the one which is here reproduced
except that the zone lines will be
shown with the unit of his postofice
as center. All that postmaster
will have to do when percel is pre-.
sented for transportation is to find out
In what zone the destination OF the
package dies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound
from the unit in which his postoface
lies to the zone of the packages des
tination, the price, as has been ex
planned before. to every postof1ce In
any one zone being the same. The
4 parcel post will take nothing bu:
fourth-class matter. Printed matter
is still in the third-class designation
Therefore books cannot be sent by the
parcel post system.
Rate on Seeds Not Affected.
It should be said that the act oI
congress which puts a parcel pos
plan into operation does not In an,
way affect the postage rate on seeds
cuttings, bulbs, roots. scions ant
plants as fixed by section 4S2 of thu

The Holy Spirit.

Though the Holy Spirit proceeds
from the Father and the Son, still he
is equal with the Father and the Son
in essence, glory, attributes and ex'
istence. While Jesus Christ is the pro
curer of salvation. the Holy Spirit is
the applier, The Holy Spirit takes the
words of Jesus and rivets them upon
the heart. whether the words are those
uttered by Christ and recorded in the
Bible. or those declared by Gods com
missioned servants or laymen. He 1t
is that brings the things Christ taught
and did to the human mind and heart.
He it is who leads the inquiring heart
to Jesus Christ and applies the par
doning and cleansing remedy. 1t is
he who sheds abroad in the heart the
love of God" He makes the atone
ment of Christ an experimental real
ity to every believing and obedieni
child of God.
