Severens went behind the bat, Frary

A new money order has been devised
and will be introduced by the postoaice
department about Sept. 18th The pre-
sent form OF a money order is cumber-
some. uHhandy and unsatisfactory.
The new order will be something after
the order OF a bank draft. The new
plan is to have the advice under the
money order and a sheet Of carbon
paper between them SO that in filing
out the money order the advice il made
out the same time the order is dispatch
ed. Attached to the advice is "a receipt
which will be given TO the remitter.
Under the present system no receipt is
given to the purchaser. The new order
will not contain any notched edges 70
tear off, which has been a source Of an
noyance to postmasters aud employees
OF the postoffice. 1t is expected that
under the new system the fees will be
cheaper as the cost OF making them will
be less.
