AN IMPROVED POSTAL REGU
LATION.
_•
(Cordova Times.)
The new postal rates law which
went into effect on July 1 contains
•ne claust which will have special
popularity and strong popular ap
proval. We refer to the case of
those persons who for any one of
many reasons may wish to send a
newspaper to somebody in another
community—not through subscription
through the office of the paper, but
just a casual single issue. Pehaps
there has been-occurrence of some lit
tle event that is of mutual interest
and concern .and -a mention of which
is made in the paper. .The first im
pulse is to wrap <ap a paper and send
it. In the days whifeh [preceded the
war-jazzed rates this was frequently
done, especially in the semi-rural
communities where, having run
through, the items of a local daily or
weekly, it was a common practice to
wrap up the paper, affix -a one-cent
stamp to the wrapper.and send it to
a home-town fellow sojourning in
some1 distant city. The-courtesy was
appreciated and it entailed hut slight
expense.
But the war period and the days
that .followed the war brought regu
lations which made this process so ex
pensive and so complicated that the
custom was very largely abandoned.
Such mail was carried for two cents
for each two ounces , up to eight
ounces, plus fourth-class zone rates,
plus a two centts service charge on
each paper weighing more than eight
i I
ounces. This necessitated a study of
zones and zone rates, and in the end
it was found that the mailing cost
was far in excess of the original of
the newspaper.
Now that system has been abol
ished, being replaced by a plan* de
scribed in the following simple and
reasonable order: "The rate on sec
ond-class matter, newspapers, etc.,
has been established at one cent for1
each two ounces or fraction thereof,
icgardless of distance.”
'that is brief, fair, simple, directly
to the point and generally satisfac
tory. In oruer to mail a single, copy
of the home paper, one needs only to
place it on the letter scales and apply
one cent in postage for each two
ounces. This will probably result in
a considerable increase in the private
mailing of newspapers, but of course
the more thoroughly convenient way
is to subscribe for the paper in order
that your out-of-town friends may re- i
ceive a copy of each.issue, with all
the mailing trouble handled for you |
by the publishers.
Some People.
general Andrew Hero, Jr., said at
a Washington reception:
“We must not be surprised to see
some people object to the generous
pensions. Some people, you know,
are generous in their praise of the
uru.. o but in other respects
they are like the grocer.
“As a young hero of the Argonne!
limped out from the grocery on his
crutches with a pound of coffee, two
pounds of sugar and a slice of ham
under his arm, the grocer snarled:
“ ‘That, boy deserves credit for his
surpassin’ bravery, but I wish to,
goodness he’d stop cornin’ to my,
store to get it-’ ”
