AGlance at Current Topics and Events

Washington, Aug. 21-The recent
changes in the parcel post include an
increase from eleven pounds to TWEEN
ty pounds in the maximum weight OF
parcels. a material reduction in the
postage rates in the first and second
zones and the abandonment Of the par
eel post map as means of computing
rates and the substitution for it of

Office in the United States
ut is my expectation and belief"
said Postmaster General Burleson,
that eventually-and it may be fif-
teen or twenty years-the postal serv-
ice will handle practically all of the
small package transportation business
in the United States. The maximum
weight limit, extended now from elev
ell to twenty pounds, l expect to see
increased to 100 pounds, and experience
may demonstrate the practicability Of
handling the parcel business at even
lower rates than we now propose.
The changes which are now in force
are as follows:
The first zone shall include the territory
within the local delivery of any office, and
the first zone rate of postage will apply
to all parcel post mail deposited at any
office for local delivery or for delivery by
city carrier on rural routes emanating
from that postoffice
The second zone shall include the re-
mainder of what is now the first zone, to-
gether with the present second zone, and
shall include all the units of area located
in whole or in part within a radius of
approximately $50 miles from any given
postOffice.
The rate of postage on parcels weighing
in excess of four ounces in the proposed
first zone is reduced from 5 cents for the
first pound and l cent for each additional
pound or fraction thereof to cents for
the first pound and l cent for each add1-
tional two pounds or fraction thereof, and
the rate for the second zone is reduced
from cents for the first pound and 3
cents for each additional pound or cents
for the first pound and cents for each
additional pound or fraction thereof to D
cents for the first pound and ] cent for
each additional pound or fraction thereof
The maximum weight of parcel post
packages is increased from eleven pounds
to twenty pounds the increase of weight
to apply only to the first and second
zones No change has been made in the
size or form of the package.

Road Acres For Farms.

Topeka. Kan, Aug. PA law that
would add thousands Of acres, now
lying idle at the roadsides, to the
farms of Kansas will be urged by
Governor Hodges on the next legista-
ture. This law would make the stand
ard country road twenty four feet
wide. At present most of the roads
are sixty or more feet wide but not
more than twenty-four feet are used.
The proposed measure would grant a
strip along each side Of the present
highways to the adjoining farms.
Governor Hodges says of the plan:
"The edges of most of the roads as
now constructed are waste. The grad
ing usually stops about ten feet from
the fence line, leaving room for a
good city sidewalk on either side
which is never needed. or used. Tall
weeds grow there, and it makes room
for uncut hedges. A trim road TWEEN
ty-four feet wide. finished from fence
to fence. would be easier to care for
and better looking and would answer
every purpose of the present roads.
The longest motorcar could turn
around in it, and the largest loads of
hay would pass.
'In the aggregate large areas would
be turned to use. In farming as in
other business, it is these margins
that make the bulk Of profits"

New York. Aug 25.-Fiye times a
week school is kept in the Tombs. The
work is carried on by the Tombs
school committee of the Public Educa-
ton association under the general man
agement Of Mrs. J. X. West, chairman
OF the committee, and in direct charge

tons. The prisoners are also permit
ted to ask advice from Mr. Marvin in

bama into forty acre tracts, to be Gull
tivated under modern scientific inten-
sive methods. is gaining much head
way and promises to revoutioniZe the
agricultural life of one of the most re-
sourceful farm regions in the world.
Already hundreds of farmers from
other sections Of the country are pur-
suing a new system of farming in this
section.
The movement is being led by Joseph
the largest and one of the most sue
cessful farmers Of the south. Though
he has been operating for years on a
gigantic scale, he believes firmly in the
small farm intensive system and is
working constantly to that end. He
wants to cut up the great old planta-
tons of the south into tracts of forty
or fifty acres, to be occupied and work
ed by white farmers instead of the
multitudes of negroes now cultivating
them.
Under this movement changes are
rapidly taking place among the great
landed estates of the black belt. and
in few years no doubt the present
system, in which old families own
thousands of acres under the share
holding and lease plans, will have
passed into history.
