Deliveries are going to be de-

Postmaster R. C. Stockton has

tendent at Chicago that the sub
scription to the governments eff

surplus food, held and contracted
for by the War Department, ext
ceeds in extent all expectation
and the delivery will no doubt be
somewhat delayed because of the
task of assembling, routing and
transporting so large volume of
parcel post. He says:
eve have completed transpor-
tation arrangements and are en-
ploying every means at our COM
mand to expedite delivery, but
at best there will be some delay
Shipments will be made in the
order in which requests were re-
ceived, and as rapidly as delivery
is made by the War Department.
"Orders now on hand for terri
tory supplied by Chicago Ware:
house, amount to an aggregate OF
one hundred and sixty million
pounds, and shipments have al
ready begun. If there are de-
lays beyond what purchasers
think reasonable they should ex-
ercise patience. Writing to the
Post Office Department will not
expedite delivery, but will have
a tendancy to create additional
delay. Inquiries should be di-
rected to the local postmaster"
