Aid in Collecting.

Besides making parcel post stamps and
common stamps interchangeable the de-
partment has added three other feat
lures to the system. July 1 the "col-
lection delivery idea was started and
the plan mas proved an immense sue
cess. A large number OF local firms,
including the large mercantile esta blish-
ments and factories, have been taking
advantage OF the plan to ship their wares
and have the amount due collected for
them by a representative of Uncle Sam.
The insurance feature, by which the
sender may insure his parcel as high as
S25 for five cents, and 800 for ten cents,
was only recently started.
