INCREASE PARCEL POST
RATE TO GREAT BRITAIN

Additional delivery charges of two
pence are 10 be levied on all parcel
post packages delivered in Great
Britain from foreign countries. This
information from the London office
is contained in a bulletin received at
the local postofice today from Wash
ington.
The bulletin also states that an
extra charge of six pence is TO be
levied by Australia on all parcel post
packages from foreign countries.
The reason given for the extra
charge is that the adjustment Of
duty on articles in packages re-
ceived from foreign countries is
tedious and difficult, and in most
cases the labor of two sets of offices.
Notice has also been received that
the regular mail service to Rou-
mania has been resumed. There Is
no provision made for parcel post
service 10 that country.

Of the meeting was 10 call the cred

best method Of getting it started
properly.
There was TO disposition on the

The fair, up 10 the present time
has only been financed 20 the extent
Of 40 per cent on a 100000 in
vestment there has only been $40

The general feeling among the
creditors was that the down town
merchants who profit most by this
annual fair are the ones who are
not expending the energy they
should in promoting it's success. If
these merchants would get out and
hustle, boost the fair and the fair
association to the best OF their abili-
". and also subscribe for stock.
there is no reason TO suppose that
this years fair will be a failure. The
general aspect of this case also fits
the citizens Of the county. One OF
the creditors declared last night that
St. Joe county was not fully aware
Of the fact that this fair is one of
the county's best assets. and to be
the big success that it should, every
body should evince enough interest
in it TO put it over the top. The
creditors who met last night and
agreed to wait for their money are,
as "A general rule, the ones who
profit least from the fair.
Twenty men last nj ght expressed
their willingness to contribute 500
for the initiatory work of starting
this years fair.
