We never have been particularly
enthusiastic in our advocacy of the
parcels post, but we did think it
would prove somewhat of a conven-
fence and saving, perhaps. Imagine
our surprise last Saturday IN going to
the postofice with a package for m
of the offices in the west end of the
county, to be informed by u genial
and accommodating postmaster, Mr..
Elmer Newman, that stationery was
not admissible to the parcels post;
that we would have to pay full fourth
class rates on our package. Now "a
any one give US a sane reason for any
such ruling? Why shouldn't station
cry be admitted to the parcels post?
Some tell us, please, the sense or
reason in any such discrimination.
