Man Failed To
Get His Food
Train Carried 1t Past The
Place Twice Before
Delivering 1t.

Explanation OF why J. c. O'Connor.
Of Alden, did not get his bacon.
vegetables and fruits ordered from
FL Paso by parcels post, has been
made. It is very simple. Il was no
body's fault-except the postoffice de-
partment and its system generally.
Alden. be it known, is only a flag
station. Trains stop there only when
somebody has to get off or get on.
The mail is pouehed and tossed off
the train as it passes by.
in the case Of insured parcels post
articles. they can only be put off. it
is explained, when the train stops. In
vestigation has shown that the bacon,
vegetables and fruit placed in the FL
Paso postoffice August 8. by the
Standard Grocery company. went west
that day out Of the FL Paso office,
but as the train was not tagged at
Alden. and as a receipt was necessary
before the package could be de-
livered by the mail clerk. he had TO
take IL on west. He turned il over
TO the first eastbound mail clerk he
met. to be put off in event of the
train being tagged. The eastbound
man was not Tagged, so he brought
il back through Alden to Ell Paso- Next
day another west bound train took
it out and, as somebody wanted 70
get on or off at Alden. the train
stopped and the mail clerk had
chance TO deliver the package Mean
time. the food had spoiled.
Under the law, parcels post must
be accepted for any postoffice- But
the posroffice department has no
orders that would make trains stop
at flag stations to put off such pack
ages, hence the goods frequently ride
back and forth past the place they
are intended for. 1t is said, just as this
package did, and when they spoil the
United States has to pay for them
and the man who depends upon the
parcels post has 10 do without his
stuff
