Mr. Best is a well known citizen of LaGrange and the fact that the in formation concerning the branch line comes- through him makes it all the jnore interesting. , -r - Maine Republican Again.

The United States is one of the last of ' the, world 's great nations ' to adopt " the parcels poet. The plan has been in operation, in European countries for several yeara. ; y ''".-; As with express packages the rates under the praeela post plan depend on the -distance the mail matter is sent. Packages weighing four ouncrg or less will be sent at the old, flat postage rate' of one eent an ounce, to all sections of the country. .The larg est package mailable umkr the par cels post is eleven' pounds. L .. The minimum rate under the new plan will be five centa for the first pound and three cents for each ad ditional pound to any point not ex ceeding fifty miles from the office of mailing. The loeaj rate, which is five centa for tha first pound and cue eent for each additional pound, applies to all parcels the delivery of which does not involve their transportation on railway lines and this meant on ru ral routes or local carriers' rounds. The rates increase for each successive one of the eight zones, into which the Postofflee Department; has divided the country, tha maximum rate being twelve cents a iwuud, winch will car ry a parcel aerosa the continent or to anv of ' the .possessions or- tms country.- All parcels must 'not be more Jhan -6 feet long or 6 f est, in atrtn.'''

An eleven nound packace to the islands will cost $1.32. . ' , The parcels post is far more com Drehensive than the average person thinks. It is possible under it to send almost any kind of package otu er than explosives, poisons, flre arms. intoxieatimr beverages, ' or obscene matter.
