The law requires that all mrth-class matter mailed s wer Jan- J ary 1, 1918, without parcel post g' 'amps attached shall bo treated as Held for postage" matter. Parcel ^ bet packages will he mallsble only c t pofitofltces, branch poatoflloea, let- u j red and local named stations, and Q aoh numbered stations as may be Mlgnated by the postmastorit It bus been announced by Post mat- N r Ocneral Hitchcock that nonrlv 70,- * VI sceipfl 'wlTl be required for use In tl :e parent post system which ia to go a to effect Jnnoary 1st.
