BOOKS TO
GET PARCEL
POST RATE

Farmers OF Lake county may soon
be in a position to receive by parcel
post at a low rate books and rnaga-
zines from the public Libraries of
Gary. Hammond, East Chicago, and

All that the farmer. his wife, or his
daughter will have to do is to drop
card to the nearest librarian and say

rive the next morning, brought to the

How this Is to be worked out is
explained by the following dispatch
from Washington:
The time appears near when re-
markable defect in the parcel post
system will be remedied
For reasons best known to the
trainers of the puarcei post bill. books
and other printed matter were barred
from the low parcel post rate. This
has proved one of the most remunera-
tive kinds of business in which the
express companies are engaged and
Postmaster General Burleson has for
some time been figuring on a way to
annex this business.
Aside from the profit. there is a
wide field for usefulness in extending
the parcel post rates to books. as it
would enable libraries to reach out
over a great territory.
Today the subject of bring books
under the parcel post system was
taken up by Representative Lewis of

eral to investigate the subject"
