limit and a reduction in rates to all
zones, but it is necessary for us, in
sense to feel our way"
Mr. Burleson announced the changes
as follows:
The first zone shall include the ter
ritory within the local delivery of any
Office and the first zone rate of post
age will apply to all parcel post mail
deposited at any Office for local de-
livery or for delivery for city carrier
or on rural routes emanating from
that postofhce.
THE second zone shall include the
remainder of what is now the first
zone together 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 will be reduc-
ed from ) cents for the first pound
and ! cent for each additional pound
or fraction thereof TO cents for the
frs. pound and l cent for each add.
tional two pounds or fraction thereof,
and the rate for the second zone viii
be reduced from cents for the first
pound and 8 cents for each additional
pound or cents for the first pound
and cents for each additional pound
or fraction thereof to 5 cents for the
first pound and 1 cent for each addi-
tional pound or fraction thereof.
The maximum weight of parcel
post packages will be increased from
II pounds to 20 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
packages"
Statistics collected by the depart
ment show that quite one-third of the
total number of parcels mailed are
handled within the proposed first and
second zones, and the postmaster gen
eral believes the increase in the
weight limit and the reduction of the
rates of postage in the first and sec
ond zones, as proposed, will benefit
greatly more than one-third of tht
! public; and that the producer, the
consumer and the local merchant viii
profit materially by the charges. H,
/ points out, too, that the farmers, WHIT
were led to anticipate much benefi
from the parcel post service, will b.
afforded cheap means of transport
ing their products directly to the con
sumer, and that the local merchan
whose trade does not justify the EN-
ployment of extensive delivery servicl
also will be benefited, as the system
will put him in close touch with hi
customers.

and quickens the heart. Its plot centers
about a love affair between daughter
of the Confederacy and a soldier OF the
Union, q situation which is not entirely
unknown IN plays and novels dealing
with the days Of 81: but it is Its manner
and not its matter which gives The
