Bloomington boy - Postal Clerk
Victor Patterson came to Mlssoula
yesterday with the LATEST contribu-
ton to the growing fund of parcel
postaIes. Patterson S story concerns
the postmaster in little Idaho town,
his sick wife, and a shipment of eggs
The postmaster is also manager of a
grocery store. His wife being sick
in Spokane hospital, the kindly
husband resolved to take advantage of
the new parcel post law and send
some fresh ranch eggs to his wife.
He packed the eggs in pastebo
carton and mailed them. The mail
sack was hung beside the track. Then
came came No. II and Mr.. Patterson
| at a 60mile. an hour clip, and the
mailsack was taken aboard on the fly
after numerous collisions with the
side of the car. When the mail clerk
opened the sack the eggs we're etill
there, but they had been so thorough
ly mixed with letters and other
packages that only the battered carton
was ever presented to the sick woman
in Spokane. However, this case is
no argument against the practice of
sending eggs by parcels post. When
been handled with perfect safety.
