BUY OUR BONDS

A representative of large bond
buying house was a recent visitor to
Durant, and when told of the proposed
$15O,O00 bond issue with which to
erect court house and Jail, immed-
lately stated that his company would
like an opportunity to buy Bryan
County's court house bonds at good
premium. Bryan County's financial
standing is among the best, if NOT the
very best in the State OF Oklahoma,
and her bonds are sought by many
cautious investors.

RAISE PRICES
ADVERTISING FREE DELIVERY,
BUT ADD THE POSTAGE TO THE
PRICE OF THE ARTICLE

A special Bargain" Catalog has re-
Gently been issued by one of the mail
order houses of things they are willing
to send post paid by parcel post.
II includes almost everything in
dry goods and clothing, some items of
jewelry, some sporting goods. some
cigars and so forth. They say in big
black type on their cover page:
I'VE pay delivery charges to your
door on everything in this book" This
is one OF the little lies which the mail
order houses like to work on their
customers.
The mail order house does not pay
Che delivery charges on the goods
mentioned in the book. The customer
pays the delivery charges. In every
case the cost of postage is added to
the cost of the goods. In some places
the mail order house has added enough
to pay the postage several times over.
Instead of offering big bargains in
this Parcel Post Sale," as might be
supposed, the catalog house is really,
in many cases, holding the customer
up for a little extra profit. 1t is a
very smooth scheme to rake in some
extra profits under the general hull
labaloo about parcel post.
Take up the items in the Parcel
Post Sale Catalog one by one, and
most OF them can be traced to the
old catalog. Some times the same
picture appears in both catalogs.
Here are some of the shoe items
given in the book:
No. Name in old catalog "Invin-
chile Button; name in new catalog,
MEMS Dull Calf" Price in old cata-
log. $2.95; price in new catalog, 1915;
postage allowance, 20 cents.
No. 2-Name in old catalog. "Pru-
dential;" name in new catalog, "Pru-
Dental" Price in old catalog, $2.75;
price in new catalog, ,'$S.1O; postage
allowance, 80 cents.
These are only two examples which
Illustrate the situation. This shows
difference of from zoe to S5c fer
postage Rather high for the custo-
mer to have to pay, when they claim
they are paying the postage.
There are many other cases where
they have added the cost of the post
age. ana in some cases more, to the
cost OF the article to pay for deliver
ing 1t.
Any one would suppose that the mail
order house could pay a few cents
postage on any of these items, espec
tally when this is what they claim to
do, bit that is not the mail order way
OF doing business. 1t grabs every
possible penny of profit, and taxes
every possible cent of expense up
against the customer.
There is absolutely nothing to the
New Parcel Post catalog but hot air
and bunoombe. The home merchants
sell goods just as cheap, and there is
no postage added to the cost of the
goods.
People can find what they want at
home at the right prices, with right

In preparing your lunches for pic
mics, instead of taking large pies,
which muss up easily, try cooking pies
in muffin pans. This receipt will
make about one dozen pies. Four eggs

great benefit to the ranchmen on

so to Payette. Considerable grain

a mother who will be sympathetic

Parcels Post
ChangesAp
New Regulations Raise Weight LIN
1t and Lower Rate in Same Zones
of Service.

Washington-Po stmaster General
Burleson's policy to increase the
weight limits of parcel post packages
in the first and second zones from
20 to so pounds. to admit books to
the parcel post and to reduce rates
in the third, fourth fifth and sixth
zones was approved Saturday by the
interstate commerce commission.
The maximum weight of parcels to
all zones beyond the second was In
creased from II to 20 pounds.
The commissions consent" to the
proposed changes were transmitted In
three letters from Chairman Clark to
Postmaster General Burleson. The
approved changes in rates and
weights to be in effect january 1,
1914, follow:
To reduce the rates from the third
zone from cents for the first pound
to cents for each additional pound
to cents for the first pound and
cents for each additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the fourth
zone from 8 cents for the first pound
and cents -or each additional pound
to cents for the first pound and 4
cents each additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the fifth
zone from 9 cents for the first pound
and cents for each additional pound
to 8 cents for the first pound and
cents for each additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the sixth
zone from 10 cents for the first pound
and cents for each additional pound
to 3 cents for the first pound and
cents for each additional pound.
Cost Only Problem.
TT seems obvious" says the CON-
mission, that the service to the
public will be promoted by these
changes. provided the revenue from
the service Is not less than the cost
thereof. Your experiences and sta
tistics seem to show clearly that the
revenue will not be less than the
cost of the service.
We can conceive of no opposition
to the increased weights and re- T,
duced rates proposed except from tie
carriers that transport the mails. We !,
have had some objections from them :
on the ground that the increased
weights should not be permitted UNI

mission to the admission of ship
ments of gold, gold bullion and gold

ka in packages weighing not more
than IL pounds. The rate of postage
fixed is. cents an ounce or fraction
thereof for I'll distances.
THE postmaster general issued an
order, effective August Is last, in
creasing the weight limit in the first
and second zones from II to 20
pounds and materially reducing the
rates of postage for these zones and
stated at that time that this step
was in the nature of am experiment, q"
said the statement issued Saturday
hight by the postoffice department..
after the changes had been in eff
feet for some time a record was kept
of packages handled In a number of
the larger postoffices throughout the
United States and the reports re-
received from these offices show that
the changes in the service had been
greatly appreciated by the public.
The number of parcels handled in
the first and second zones since these
changes became effective show an inr
crease of approximately 16 per cent.
The average weight has also in
creased from IL to II pounds per
parcel and notwithstanding the great
reduction in the first and second
