Explaining THE LAW
Sections Of Parcels Post Law Which
Public Does not Understand
Explained. =

There seems to be a misunderstanding
regarding the postal delivery law which
went into effect January 1st.
Under the head of descriptive stamps,
Section 8, is the following:
"The law requires that on and after
January l, 1918, the postage on all mat
ter of the fourth class must be prepaid
by distinctive parcel post stamps affixed
(see Section 81. Postmasters can not re-
ceive for mailing parcels that do not
bear such stamps. Parcel post stamps
are not valid for the payment of postage
on matter of the first, second and third
classes, and, when used for that purpose,
the matter to which they are affixed
shall be treated as "Held for postage" !"
as prescribed in Section g."
Then under the head of preparation
for mail is found the following:
parcels must be prepared for mailing
in such manner that the contents can be
easily examined. (See Sections 10 to 81
inclusiye). A parcel must not be &C.
cepted for mailing unless it bears the
name and address of the sender proceed

elevators, lumber yards, stock yards,
schools, churches, libraries, cluster
lights, water works, paved streets, and
all of the conveniences of the most
modern civilization. Railroads have
followed closely in the wake of the set
tiers in South Dakota and each year are
building extensions and branches in
every part of the state.

the state are about the most worthy
thing we have, and the funds for carry
