STORES MAKING
ALL DELIVERIES
BY PARCEL POST

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec, lf.--SeVen
st. Paul stores, including the larg-
est department store in the city,
now make all their city deliveries
by parcel post, and have discon-
tinued their separate delivery sys-
TENS.
In March, 1919, the venture was
made by one department store and
gradually other concerns have TAX
en- it up, until now q majority of
the st. Paul department store pur-
chases for city delivery are dis
tributed to the homes in the Unit
ed States mail wagons and trucks.
Utilization of the mail service
for this work has cut the delivery
cost to stores from six to nine
cents for each package. Under in
dividual deliveries, the cost was
from twelve to eighteen cents,
whereas now 1t is from six to nine
cents,
The postoffice department has
been able to handle the additional
work by adding seven trucks and
thirty men to it's force. and is han
ding 1000 packages daily, accord
ing to Postmaster OFT N. Raths,
who originally proposed the plan.
One hundred trucks formerly
used by the stores have been clint
mated under the new system, with
attendant men and horses. Another
point, stressed by the merchants,
is the greater element of safety,
decrease in number of complaints
and protection of the postal serv-
ice.
The stores participating in the
parcel post delivery all are regis
tered branch postoffices. The pack
ages are wrapped at the store. pre-
cancelled stamps are affixed and
and the packages placed in bags
which are picked up by postal
trucks at p m.
First the packages are taken to
the central postoffice building,
where they are sorted and distrib-
uted during the night to fifteen
sub-stations throughout the city.
From these sub-stations they are
delivered, according to size and
weight, by foot postmen or trucks,
before $50 a. m. A second deliv-
cry is made during the day, but
the morning delivery handles the
bulk of the business.

Santa Fe. Dec. 1.-THE state
tax commission issued a statement

base value for cow is $50. All
other grades OF cattle are in the
same proportion. For the central

LANDED ESTATES
IN MEXICO WILL
f. Be PART|T|ONED
Large Grants to Be Sub
divided Into Small Farms
BY Owners; LarraZoIO
Sees Peace Below "Rio."
BY CLINTON p. ANDERSON.

ID
Santa Fe, Dec 17.--Peace Is
coming to Mexico, not through
the sword but through t h
development of a class of small
land owners and the advance of
education, declared Governor O. A.
Larrazolo upon his return to the
executive office after his trip OF
three weeks through the republic
to the south. The governor has
been in the confidence of the rul-
ing faction and has talked to the
representatives of former revolu-
tionists, such as Pancho Villa. He
has returned fully eXpectant that
MeXico's walk through a national
''via dolorosa" has ended.
Chief in the steps for the renew
al of sane economic life in Mex
leo is the adjustment of the land
ed estates. 1t has been known to
a small group of the governor $
friends that he has been working
for q long time to bring about the
division of large land grants into
small farms suitable for individual
farming. He was attempting to
promote this plan through Gen.
Luis Terrazas, owner of 100000
acres in the state of Chihuahua.
The general temporarily deposed
of his holdings, was living in Los
Angeles, but promised Larfazolo
that should his land be returned tc
him, he would arrange for its sale
on easy terms and at reasonable
prices to Mexican people.
Since that promise was given,
Governor Larrazolo has seen Presi-
dent Obregon and Governor Igna-
clio Enriquez of the state of Chi
huahua. Both became impressed
with the Terrazas plan. Recently
the Terrazas holdings were restored
to the Mexican general and he
has now employed engineers to
make the subdivisions. Governor
LarraZolo was in the state of chi
huahua when Terrazas arrived with
his party and was able to see his
suggestion put into practice.
Over the entire republic of Mex
leo. the small farm idea is taking
root, according to the governor,
The huge areas are being changed,
the owners subdividing as much of
their holdings as they cannot ham
die.
The question of education is also
receiving due attention. according
to the reports received by Cover
nor Larrazolo. There are now 200
schools in the state of Chihuahua.
1t is the program of Governor En-
riquez to expand the system in the
next two years by the addition of
400 more schools. This will insure
school in every region where
there are twenty children of school
age.
The governor brought back a
number of interesting tokens of
the friendship of Mexican leaders
and government officials for him.
Among them was a unique ring,
the gift of Gen. Pascual Ortiz Ru-
bio, the present secretary of agri-
culture,
