railroads to protest vigorously be-
fore congress at Washington, is the

mailing within the l50-mile radius
as heretofore but whereas under
the old order the cost was cents
for each additional pound costs
only | cent.
As an example of the decrease in
rates, after Aug. Is eleven pounds
of matter may be sent by parceI
post for IS cents anywhere within
q radius OF $50 miles from st. jos

delivery would cost 4G cents.

The Browns ran true to form in
