son County, was present, the guest
of Supt. McMahan and he spoke
interestingly for about ten minutes,
following DR.. Vests address.
AT P. M. Prof. Joseph E. Rob-
inson, Head of English Depart
ment Of Carson-Newman College,
gave a helpful lecture on What
One Should Read" Prof. Robin
son mentioned a number of the
best books to be read and told the
teachers where to get the best
books for the least money. His
lecture was enjoyed.
Following Prof. Robinson's lee
ture, Supt. McMahan explained the
library contest put on in the coun-
ty among the one-teacher schools
by the Board of Education and
gave anumber of instances where
in public school libraries had been
raised recently. He spoke of the
box supper as the method dis
covered and stated that in one in
stance he had sold five boxes and
one cake for $500, the cake
bringing $16.45. He said seven
schools had raised 1921 90 which
was more public school library
money than had ever been raised
in Cooke county, so far as he
could find on records. Prof. Gil
3 braith again addressed the body
at 2 o'clock on the question of
libraries" and his address at this
time was strong. He mentioned
the active campaign carried on in
Hamblin county against bad and
unsuitable school houses. He al
so spoke of the great work Greene
county is doing for better schools
and especially better school build
ings. He showed that Greene
county had more pike road bonds
voted than Cooke county and had,
I additionally, $4,000 in school
bonds for building purposes ex-
clusively. He stated that Cooke
county would do likewise and he
believed in the near future.
Prof. Gilbraith has a warm cir
Gle of friends at Newport and
throughout Cooke county. He is
a welcome visitor here and con-
sidered as one of the biggest ed
ucational guns" who has ever
visited here.
The program closed with q
brief address from Prof. Tate
State Corn Club organizer.
The entire program was great
success and the people here should
be glad of the interest shown in
education in this county on the
part of the large number of speak
ers who came at the invitation Of
Supt. McMahan.

such deal. 1t has always been
rather difficult to understand how
a deal could have been made OBJ
ligating the independent and re-
publican members of the legislature
to violate their pledges to the
people without ever consulting
them in regard to the matter. The
public has always had some cur
iosity as to what understanding
Governor Hooper had with the
independents and republicans in
connection with the question of
law-enforcement legislation. 1t
has been known to all newspaper
readers that Governor Hooper
frequently attended the caucuses
of the independent and republicans
where all these matters were gone
over in the freest and fullest
manner.
The statements made today by
the independent democrats and
republicans in regard to the al
legged deal on the matter of law
enforcement legislation are there
fore especially pertinent and note
worthy.
They disclose the perfectly frank
relationship which existed between
the governor and the republican
and independent members and
the open and complete understand
ing as to his and their position on
the question of law enforcement
Legislation. They deny absolutely
that any deal was entered into.
That no agreement was ever made
by the independent andrepublican
members Of the legislation to kill
the bills has been admitted, but
persistent effort to claim that Gov
ernor Hooper made such an agree
ment has been maintained. That
he has done so was denied, how
ever, by Speaker Newt White at
the last caucus of the independ-
ents and republicans when he
stated that he was present at the
meeting at which it was claimed
that Governor Hooper had agreed
and that to his knowledge he had
not done so.
Further evidence along this
line was offered during the first
extra session when Senator Full
ton speaking on the floor of the
senate declared that he had cate
goricaily asked Col. James 7.
Amis whether or not tine members
were bound by any agreement on
the liquor question and that he
had told him that they were not.
This statement has been privately
supported by other independent
democratic members.
The independent statement has

it does now for one package Of IL
pounds weight.
Every postmaster In the United
States will have a 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 q center. All that a postmaster
will have to do when parcel Is pre-
scented for transportation Is to find
out in what zone the destination of
the package lies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound from
the unit in which his postoff1ce lies
to the zone Of the packages destina-
tons, the price as has been explained
before, to every postofflce In any one
zone being the same. The parcel post
will take nothing but fourth-class mat
ter. Printed matter is still in the
third-class designation. Therefore
books cannot be sent by the parcel
post system. This the postcffce au-
thorities seem to think Is In a way
unjust and may work hardship. 1t
may be that in the future the law will
be changed so as to include all print
ed matter. It seems to be certain that
an attempt will be made to bring
about this change as speedily as pos
sible.
Must Bear Stamp.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that postmasters be advised
that parcel post packages cannot be
accepted for mailing unless they bear
distinctive parcel post stamp and
have attached to them the return card
of the sender A series Of distinctive
stamps is now in course of prepare
ton for this class of mail as required
by the law creating the parcel post
system. Consignments Of these
stamps will be ready for shipment to
all postofflces in ample time for the
establishment of the new system on
New Years day.
The postoffice department has given
instruction to every postmaster in the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
ject of the parcel post and especially
on the use of the special stamps and
the necessary attachment of the re-
turn card. The law requires that all
fourth-class matter mailed Ter JAN
uary 1, 1913, without parcel post
stamps attached shall be treated as
HELD for postage" matter. Parcel
post packages will be mailable only
at postofIlces, branch postohices, let
tered and local named stations, and
such numbered stations as may be
designated by the postmasters.
It has been announced by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock that nearly TO-
600 scales will be required for use in
the parcel post system which is to go
into effect January lst. He has ac-
cordingly authorized the issuance Of
bids for that number. Two hundred
of the largest postofIices and their
branches Will be supplied with auto.

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 AZ the parcel post.
For years there has been a demand
for such a 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 a 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 a profit or loss at the end Of
each year If 1t 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.
It 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 q
division Of the country into 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 II Is a very
simple matter
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 a
center from which the zones are
drawn and SO every unit in the coun
try no matter where It is situated will
have zones drawn from it just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
It, For instance, take Keokuk, Ia.
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 as they
are numbered from Washington a!
number one OF course, however
Zone Six will 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
drawn from Keokuk is the same
length as the radius of the circles
drawn from Washington, Keokuk'i
Zone Six will be just as far from It'll
center as Washington's Zone Six is.
How Rates Are Fixed.
1t can be seen from this readil,
enough that the postal rates from
Washington to its particular zone viii
be the same as the postal rates from
Keokuk to its particular zones. Eacl
unit being about thirty miles squar,
will of course contain in most cases
number of postoffices, but each offic,
