With the facilities Of the post-office placed at the service of the public at greatly reduced rates many packages that heretofore have been sent by express will be sent par­ cel post. Indications are the postal business will be greatly increased this year and preparations are being made - by the postoffice department to handle tifee mails with care and dispatch. In­ structions given'local officials in the jKMtal service show that the depart- mettt is anxious to make the public realize that the parcel post offers fine ttrvice at low cost. Postmasters everywhere have been eftked to state how much additional help will be required, the attitude of Sbe department being to grant a suf­ ficient allowance to enable postmasters to give the best possible service. While local postal officials know there will be a much larger volume of mail than ever before, yet with the aided facilities and the long experi­ ence of most of the employes, they lOel able to meet all demands. The patrons can aid greatly by the early •tnding of parcels and are urged to do •q, attention being called to the fact that the department allows the writ­ ing of words on parcels asking that they be not opened until Christmas. One of the changes the parcel post 1ms brought is that only first-class mail, properly sealed, may be regis­ tered. Parcels may be insured against lOm, but not registered, and patrons are strongly urged to insure all par- eels, as the fee is but five cents Hp to a 185 valuation. Much of the additional office work is jphcemitated by the zone system, re­ quiring the ratings to be made accord­ ing to distance as well as by Veight. Patrons can aid greatly by having packages packed according to require­ ments and being themselves somewhat conversant with the regulations re­ garding parcel post. Their attention la therefore invited to the following information. 1. The pame of the sender must be placed on all parcels and should be so placed as not to become confused with the name of the addressee. Often the name of the sender is placed on pack­ ages mure conspicuously than that of . the addressee and postal employes, handling mail rapidly, take the ad- feess of the sender as the destination of the parcel and it again shows up at tlhe mailing office. This sometimes several times with the same Inge. _ 2. Send your Christmas remem- Frances early. Remember that you Mtn write on packages the words, "DO not open until Christmas." A Christ* , mas greeting not to exceed five words pay also be written and enclosed. -.,,3. Packages must be securely packed •ltd fastened, but not sealed. Use light boards or corrugated card board all articles liable to damage or ' 4§reakage. f V 4. Patrons sending articles liable to i*eak will so inform clerks who will provide red "Fragile" tag to be se­ cured to parcel. These tags may be mcured at any time at the post-office patrons desiring same, thus enabl- > Ipg them to have the tag already on. 5* Patn®® are advised strongly to insure all parcels. The fee for a valu­ ation not exceeding $25 is but five ; mnta. Insurance tags may be secured jfc^na any time at the office. On this tag the name and address of the addressee be written on two coupons, the Valuation fetated and the name of send- ^ #r placed on reverse side of tag. i; It will save patrons considerable de> KU 'l»y and allow them plenty of time in 4^*reparing ParC€l» if they will call for . insurance tags at the office and have V:? ? Ihem properly made out at home, be- i _' lore presenting for mailing. Rates fpr parcels weighing not exceeding four ounces is one cent an iT Ounce. The limit of weight in the first tod second zone 20 pounds. The limit pt, t* weight elsewhere is 11 pounds. The the first and second zones is five cents for the first pound and one K\, *ent for each additional pound. The ITEMS CLIPPED FROM PLAJNDEALER OP TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ACO C.

' James Hoag, an uncle of David and Winslow Parker, died at the Parker House, in this village, on Wednesday night last, aged eighty-three years. He was a dwarf and in years past had traveled with Barnum, V,an Amber# and other shows. He weighed only about 75 pounds, but until a few years past was remarkably healthy, and as it will be seen lived to a remarkable age for one so dwarfed in stature. His funeral was held on Friday and re­ mains taken to Dean's Corners, Lake county, for interment. A committee has been appointed to make arrangements for getting up some kind of a literary entertainment at the new city hall, not enly for the purpose of dedicating the hall, but to raise funds to purchase new seats for the same. This is a very worthy ob­ ject. The village authorities have spent a larg^ sum of money in pur­ chasing and fitting up this building and it is certainly an honor to the village and we are certain every citizen will willingly aid in this entertainment, which we are sure, knowing the par­ ties who have it in charge, will be worthy of the cause.
