Postmaster Watkins reports grow
ing interest in the parcel post system,
the Office having already sent out and
received good many parcels. A few
parcels have been offered for mailing
which could not be forw arded, includ-
ing crock of butter to go to Chicago
which was not properly packed. The
regulations as to packing oily and
greasy substances are very strict in
order to prevent damage to other mail
matter. 1t is the belief Of Mr. Watkins
that the local merchants can profit by
the new law IL they are wide awake to
their interests and let the people know
how cheaply small packages can
be sent to them. The local rate for the
rural routes from Morrice is five cents
for the first pound and one cent addi
tional for each pound up to- II, making
the charge for the latter fifteen cents;
the rate for the first zone, within fifty
miles, is FIVE cents for the first pound
and three cents additional to eleven.
