WEAK PLACE IN PARCEL POST
Manufacturer Writes Mail Superin
tendent About Defect in System.
RATE 18 HIGHER THAN BEFORE
Unless Article la Wrapped Up Into
Tito Packnorra it Will Cot Sloro
to Send It Than Before Ad
Tent of Sew Service.
Clrda Jf. Rted, superintendent of tha
railway mall arnica is In receipt of a
letter from a manufacturer and friend
bf, hi a in Wisconsin, nhti "has aent him a
copy of a letter written to Darld J.
Lewis Rt Washington In which he crlU
clses certain parts of the parcel pest
and which he demonstrates has not yet
reachod the state of perfection.
He says in part:
"My badness, though small, and to a
reat extent retail, Is n6t local. Our
work is largely making special order
kIotcs, a few items of Masonjo supplies
and one or two other artlclra that fit in
with these two lines. All are what
might be termed natural parcel post
commodities.
"Before parcel postage rates went into
effect I could send a pair of gloves to
my brother in California for 6 cents.
Under parcel post rates I must pay 12
cents for the same pair of gloves.
"I have never heard anyone contend
that the old, fourth-class merchandise
rata was too low if it was why continue
the ounce rate of parcels welging four
ounces or less? All are agreed that it is
the purposa of parcel post to reduce the
old rates yet, on all packages weighing
between four ounces and one pound, the
effect, outside the second tone, is to in
crease them. Isn't this Indefensible?
'In the hope that cancelled postage
stamps will put the matter before you
more forcibly than anything I can say
Z am supplying you with an object les
son. I have selected from among our
products one rod holder, for use In
Mneonlo lodges, which we propose to put
on the market and mall you the samples,
'T&ckage No. 1 contains a part of one
holder! it weighs two ounces and it coats
2 cents to mall it to you.
"Package No. 2 contains th remaining
part of the holder; it weights three
ounots and the postage Is 3 cents
'Tackage No, 3 contains . a complete
holder; it weighs four and one-half
ounces, slightly less than the total weight
of packages 1 and 2, yet the postage or It
is t cents.
Old Bate Cheaper,
"Under the old rates package Ne. 3
could have been sent anywhere for 5
cents. Today, under parcel post rates, it
costs 9 cents to mail it to you and it
costs 13 cents to mail it to points outside
the seventh cone unless U'b divided
isn't that ridiculous?
"Ton may think this a small matter,
but let me explain that, even in my own
small business, It is not, perhaps, as in
significant as it at first may seem.
"I should like, within the nest thirty
days, to mail 16,000 samples of this holder
to the 16,000 Masonic lodges In the country
with a view to securing a one and one-half-pound
parcbt post order for each
lodge.
"To, do this I must either divide each
Holder Ir.to two parts and mail cash part
koparatoly, thus doubling the cost and
the work of packing, doubling tha (ex
pense to the Fostotfice department every
time the two packages are handled, double
the bother to the recipient and more than
AeW the risk of loss or inattentloa on
his part because of the bother; or pay a
penalty which in the fifth sotiels 4 cent,
and In the eighth stwe is 7 eents, oh each
hoMer ef 4 cents, or a total of tV

verses In raising alfalfa, crops, In order
that thay may, by sclentlflo farming,
realise the greatest percentage of good
crop per acre. Tha road la in addition
to this advising a larger acreage of
alfalfa, as it believes alfalfa to be the
best of forage crops.
K. A. Smith, colonisation agent for the

the road will run its first train contain
ing several agricultural professors of
eminence, and several experts from the
agricultural extension division of the
International Harvester company and he
will personally supervise the arrange
ments of the Sections of the country to
be traversed and the order of events In
the towns where the professors will
speak.
Hundred Are Willing.
Hundreds of names have been signed to
petitions by farmers who are willing to
be shown the value of alfalfa as a crop.
The people are (taklng a great interest
especially after the drouth which ruined
most other crops, but only ruined one of
alfalfa. Western Kansas will be trav
ersed first and eastern Colorado wilt be
visited at the conclusion of the Kansas

the Kansas and- Colorado trips will be
arranged as soon aa the railroad experts
deem it expedient.

with the Firs and FoUoe board of trie
city, waa commanded by a rrlt of man

rid the city of slot machines, made an
attempt to have the case reopened In
order that he might file an answer and
seek to have the court rescind its drastic
order against the gamblers,
No contest in the case originally was
made by the mayor and the order was
entered by default In ap application
