PARCEL POST.

Parcel Post is a success. The expert
ment since the first of the year has dem
onsuated it. And now the time has
come TO extend the service so that ii will
do the general express business of the
country, declares David J. Lewis. the
/ parcel post expert of the House in a re.
/ markable brief addressed to Postmaster
/ General Burleson.
Lewis suggests the following changes
| to be made at once:
Raise the II-pound parcel weight limit
I to 100 pounds. Set no limit at all when
the patron collects and delivers nerchan-
disc
Make each zone 100 miles wide, includ.
ing the local zone.
Collect an initial charge Of ) cents and
a rate of half a cent pound for each
zone.
Admit any class Of merchandise TO the
mails.
That these changes would at once put
the express companies out OF business
and turn their entire traffic over to the
Post Office there IS no doubt. The rates
proposed by Lewis are far below express
rates, and the increase OF the weight limit
10 100 pounds. with no limit when ship
pers deliver their own packages, would
leave the express octupus no field for op.
GRAFTON.
Moreover, because of the high trans
portatiOn rates by the express companies
TO the railroads, they could not possibly
reduce their charges to compete with the
parcel post. Yet, Lewis shows that his
proposed rates, low as they are, are suf
ticlent to pay a big profit to the govern
ment, wlping out the postoflice deficit
and making possible I-cent postage,
cheaper rates on other classes OF mail.
and other reforms demanded by the PEG.
pie.
1t is possible for the Postmaster Gen
eral to make the proposed changes with
out getting any further authority from
Congress because of a provision in the
parcel post law, provision written in the
law BY Mr.. Lewis himself, and one of the
most remarkable provisions ever written
in any law in any country.
The weight limit OF II pounds is ridiCu.
lousy low to be OF great service to the
country, says Mr. Lewis. Most food is
produced on the farm in retail forms, -
that IS, eggs by the dozen, chickens by
the head, butter by the pound, and so on.
The buying agent converts them into
wholesale form-eggS by the case. butter
by the tub and chickens by the barrel
and sells them TO the wholesaler, who, in
turn, sells them in wholesale form to the
retailer, who again converts them into
retail form by the consumer.
All these processes, in the aggregate
become terrible burden on the country
Farm products which brought to the
farmers $4,000. 600. 900 last year, cost the
consumer $4,000, ooo, 600. The parcel
post, with weight limit removed so that
worth while market baskets may be ship
ped will make the consumer largely first
buyer with immense benefit to himself
and to the farmer with whom he deals
With complete postal express system
in operation, Mr.. Lewis has a vision of a
new industry-the suburban gardener

small to warrant maintaining a delivery
service, but who, through parcel post,

It is very certain that all of the phys
iCal universe takes the side of health and
activity. wooing us forth unto nature,
and imploring us hourly, and in unsus-
pected ways to receive her blessed
breath into body and soul, and to share
in her eternal youth. For this are sum
mer and winter, seed time and harvest
given; for this do violet and blood root
come and gentan and witch hazel go;
for this do changing sunsets make yOn
paths between the pines a gate way into
heaven; for this does day shut us down
within the loneliness of its dome Of
light, and night. lifting it, makes us free
of the vast fellowship of stars; for this do
the pale meteors wander nightly, soft as
the wind blown blossoms, down the air;
for this do silent SHOWS transform the
wintry woods to ieatherv things that
seem too light9to lnger, and vet to vast to
take their flight; for this does all the
fair creation answer to every dream or
mood of man. SO that we receive but
what we give All is offered to US to
call us from our books and our trade,
and TO summons us INTO natures health
and Joy TO study with the artist, the
least of her beauties; TO explore with the
man Of science, the smallest OF her
wonders: or even simply to wander

Blight is Killing Trees.

Chestnut trees IN Maryland are being
infected and killed by the bark disease,
or chestnut blight, which has spread
through the New England and Middle
Atlantic section, according to Calvin
Jones, assistant Stale forester, who told
what efforts are being made by the De-
partment of Agriculture to stamp out the
disease.
Mr.. Jones said that the blight is com
mon among trees along the northern bor-
der Of the State as far west as South
Mountain, Washington county. On the
Eastern Shore it occurs wherever the
chestnut is present, while in Southern
Maryland, it is rarely seen.
Nothing can be done to prevent the dis
ease, which is caused by kind of fungus
or insect, said Mr. Jones' except to de
stroy the inse t. An unsuccessful attempt
was made at the session of the last Leg
islature to have an appropriation passed
for the purpose of fighting the disease.
