Of the nation as the bridegroom. He and
his lovely young bride stood almost in
the center of the room facing the cor
ridor for their marriage. The receiving
line In those days was just inside the
blue room, which was approached from
the north door of the red room. The COM
pany present was small one, but the
floral decorations We're profuse. The
mantels were banked in a set design. as
was the custom of the day for elaborate
occasions, and clumps of foliage and
blooming plants were maSsed between
the doors. A tall bouquet topped off the
round divan, which was the most notice
able piece Of furniture in the room. The
other sofas in the room used to be re-
versed on state occasions SO that the
ladies in the line could rest against their
tall frames.

FIVE TONS Of
BARLEY BY US.
PARCELS POST
Greatest Single Shipment
by Mail in History Of the
Southwest - Uncle Sam
Loses Money in Making
Venture

What is unquestionably the largest
parcel post shipment ever made in
the southwest reached Phoenix last
evening en- route from the Salt River
valley to the northern part Of the
state. 1t consists of 10000 pounds Of
rolled barley, put up in 200 fifty
pound sacks, consigned from the
Mesa Milling Company to L. r.
Dewitt of Snowflake, Navajo county.
To reach it's destination it must be
transported thirty miles by stage
from Holbrook the nearest railroad
station.
| Not only is the shipment a record
breaking one from the standpoint of
| bulk and weight, but also one of the
most improbable handled since
| Uncle Sam went into the parcels
post business. Postage on the con-
sgnment from Mesa to Snowflake
amounts to s1OS. while by the terms
| of its contract, the government must
pay the carrier who transports the
mail between Holbrooll ard Snow
flake 81 60 for taking it the last thirty
miles or $52 more than the total
amount received.
Predictions that the carrier be-
tween Holbrook and Fort Apache
who will have to handle the noun
tain of barley would resign in despair
were rife at the local postOffice last
evening until it became known thai
F. r. Dewitt, the consignee, is alsC
the party who has the contract fol
transporting the mail, and that under
his contract he will receive $3.50 fO
hauling his own barley home from
the railroad station. This peculia
feature arises from the fact that h
receives an extra compensation o
s1.6O per hundred pounds for all par
eel post matter carried in addition t
the regular mail matter.
Freight on the shipment from
Mesa to Holbrook would have COS
the shippers only $1.00 per hundre
pounds for the consignment, bu
