Probably the bay mare, Mercer c.,
owned by Henry NJ. Springer of Au-
g,lsta, can claim a distinction that is
beyond the reach Of the average fast
stopper in the ranks of Maine horse
flesh. and that is, during the winter
months, when other trotters and PAGERS
of her class are covered with blankets
and swathed in bandages and enjoying
the luxury OF box stalls, and incidental
iy eating their heads off, she is earning
her living every day by hauling a de-
livery wagon from Mr.. Sprinsers grain
store At the close of the racing season
each year since Mr.. Springer has had
the mare he has hitched her into the
grain wagon, and the pung when the
snow comes, and kept her at work I'M
til the next years racing season comes
around, when he sends her to the track
again Each year for the past TWO
years that he has done this, the mare
has. before the end of the season, low
cred ner record Her record, this year,
is Fla IA, and when she goes back to
the race track again, next summer, be-
cause Of her work during the f&ll and
winter months. she will be as hard as
nails. and in good t9ndition to clip a
few more scronds N Nor -presrnse mark.

The Parcel Post
System Can Be
Easily Understood

~ ONTRARY to early expecta-
La tons. it is probable the new
" parcel post service will pre-
sent no great difficulty to the
public at large and that it will he cOu-
venient in every detail from the start.
| The system is really not us complicut.
ed as was at first expected.
prodigious lub0rs have been gone
through by the postotlice officials ami
employees to construct the system to
the highest degree of perfection: a
great expense has been involved and a
vast range of new equipment has been
called into play. but In reality the
whole service Is simple.
In order to intelligently make use OF
the post. one has only to know what
unit his local postOtfice Is located IN
and to figure the distance from that
point to the destination of the article
he intends mailing. The distance will
indicate to him the zone his parcel
reaches. and each zone has its rate
designated. There are eight zones.
The units are small squares Of half
which the entire country has been
blocked. The first zone comprises Il
radius of fifty miles around the center
Of any given unit. The second zone
has Il radius of 100 miles. the third
300 miles. and so on.
One has only to know several ee
mental ''don'ts" provided for the serv
ice. and the mail clerk will solve all
his troubles. In the case of the mail
clerk a splendidly constructed scale.
specially designed for the work. will
In turn solve all his troubles. Thirty
thousand of these scales are ordered
for the service.
In the first place. parcels must not
exceed six feet in combined length
and girth and must not exceed eleven
pounds in weight. TO learn the pro-
portions Of parcel one has only to
procure u piece Of string seventy-two
inches long and wrap 1t around the
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1913-01-03

two dimensions Of the parcel. II the
ends Of the string meet the parcel Is
under the required size.
Every postmaster and postoffice
clerk has guide book and map which
discloses to him at a glance the loca-
| ton Of various units and the various
zones radiating from them.
Parcels will be delivered ut the post
office at which they are received to
the doors of the persons to whom they
are sent In wagons. and In many cities
in automobiles. These deliveries are
to be rs regular as the mailmau's.
| Among the "don'ts Is list Of what
may not be sent by parcel post. This
list includes intoxfcants. explosives.
infiammnble liquids. live or dead ami
mails. disease germs. firearms. books or
printed matter.
Articles OF II fragile nature. such as
musical Instruments. toys. millinery.
glassware, etc. must be marked "Frag-
ile."
Produce may be sent by the post. and
this possibility undoubtedly will be a
great boon to the suburban gardeners.
The farmers will thus be able to carry
on thriving mail order business.
| special rate Of u cent an ounce has
been fixed for parcels weighing under
four ounces. Parcels over that weight
must be paid for under the pound rate.
1t Is important that the name OF the
sender as well as that Of the person ad-
dressed should be written clearly on
every parcel. When eggs are contained
the parcel should be marked Eggs"
Following is the list OF rates which
apply everywhere:
Rural route and city delivery. : cents
for the first pound and cent for each
additional pound; first zone. within If
ty miles of the posto.iice. s cents first
( pound and 3 cents for each additional
