You can now send packages H weighing up to 11 pounds, Instead of H only fou.' pounds as at present. H 3. You must use a new kind of H stamp for parcels. Ordinary letter H Btamps are not good on these pack- H ages, and tho new pat eels post H stamps arc not good on other mall H The "zone system" Is easy to un- H dcrstand. Your town Is tho center of H tho wholo system Draw around your- H self a number ot Imaginary circles, H the first ono 50 miles away from you H In every direction, the second one H 150 miles away, the third 300 miles H away, the fourth COO miles, tho fifth H 1000 miles, the sixth 1400 miles' and J tho seventh 1800 miles. H The coat of sending a package de- H pends on two things Its weight by H pounds, and tho distance It goes. H Parcels over foil- ounces aro as- H Burned to weigh a pound; It they H weigh a Uttlo over ono pound they aro assumed to weigh two pounds, HHH and so H Within the first circle you drew M Including all places for GO miles In M ovory direction, there ore two rates, B ono for local or rural delivery ind H tho other for packages sent uetwr-o-i towns. 1 If you live in the city you can mall 1 packages to some ono In the oa an J city, or to Dome one on a rural nine starting out of your city, at n local lo-cal rate of 5 cents for a ono pound package, and 1 cent for each "'H tlonal pound. This rate nlBO supplies to people living on a rural route who mall packages to other persons along tho same route, or to persons In the city from which tho routo starts, or to persons on some other routo starting start-ing from the samo city. Now, suppose, tho packago Is not to bo delivered within tho city or on a rural route, but Is to go to some place within tho 50 mllo radius of th0 first zone. Its rato Is ono pound for 5 cents, and 2 cents for each additional ad-ditional pound. Now, supposo your packago Is going go-ing farther away, outside tho 150-mile 150-mile circle, but inside th0 300-mile circle. It goes Into the second zone and takes a rato of 1 cont a pound higher than In zone two. If tho p!nce to which you wish to send tho parcel falls Into the third zone, or the fourth or fifth or others It keeps on Increasing 1 cent a pound for each zono. The ono pound rate for the third zono Is 7 cents; for tho fourth zone, 8 cents; for tho fifth zone, 9 cents; for tho sixth zone, 10 cents; for tho seventh zone, 11 cents and for tho eighth zone 12 cents. Tho rato on 11 pounds in tho eighth zone Is $1.32, tho highest rato charged. This includes Hawaii and the Philippine Phil-ippine Islands.
