THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



O. D. FOR PARCEL POST 

 PACKAGES. 



New Cash-on-Delivery Orders to Be- 

 come Effective July First. 



A distinctive tag, known as form 

 3818, and divided into three coupons, 

 will feature all packages sent through 

 the mails over the cash-on-delivery 

 route after July 1. 



The new regulation, which will go 

 into effect July 1, will enable persons 

 to send packages through the mails col- 

 lect. Coupons, three in number, which 

 comprise the tag attached to every cash- 

 on-delivery package, will serve the pur- 

 pose of keeping a record in the office 

 from which the package is sent, a re- 

 ceipt for the sender, and the third cou- 

 pon which will remain attached to the 

 package until it reaches the hands of 

 the receiver. 



The name and address of the sender 

 must be written on the tag. together 

 with the amount due. The date of de- 

 livery must be marked on the lower 

 left hand corner of the package when 

 the tag is surrendered into the hands of 

 the receiver. Any sum of money up 

 to $100 may be collected on the pack- 

 age, but no more. 



It is absolutely forbidden in the or- 

 der that any package shall be exam- 

 ined by the receiver until it is receipted 

 for and all charges paid upon it. 



A mailable parcel will be accorded 

 special delivery service for 10 cents. 

 The same rule will be in effect for the 

 deliverj' of these packages by city, rural 

 and special carriers and messengers, 

 that applies to the regular delivery. 



The postoffice will not accept parcels 

 addressed to the Philippine Islands or 

 the Canal Zone. 



In case the tag on a parcel is signed 

 by other than the addressee, it will be 

 necessary for a reputable witness to 

 attest the signature. 



A receipted tag will be considered as 

 an application for a money order for 

 the amount due the sender. 



ALL STAMPS GOOD ANY- 

 WHERE. 



Washington. June 2G. — Parcel post 

 stamps will be valid on all classes of 

 mail on and after July 1, and ordinary 

 ;tamps, including commemorative issues. 

 ;vill be good for postage on parcel post 

 packages under an order issued today 

 jy Postmaster General Burleson. 



Bees here are in good condition, but 

 much of the clover was winter-killed 

 by the dry process in this locality. The 

 flow from fruit bloom was quite heavy 

 but cold w^eather interferred somewhat 

 with the bees' work.

 promotion. Am anxious to see that 

 article from the pen of the giant of 

 Inodern beedom which you advertised. 



With best wishes for future success,

As THE July Number of the Review goes 

 to press we are in the midst of our surplus 

 honey flow. While we do not look for a large 

 crop, the indications are that it will be of 

 good quality. We have combs to hold the en- 

 tire crop of both clover and raspberry honey, 

 and none will be extracted until the very last 

 of this (July) month, which will be two or 

 three weeks after the close of the honey flow. 

 With this management, this crop ought to be 

 of a very superior quality. After allowing it 

 to ripen on the hive as mentioned above, we
