are second-class, and lis are third
class. Of the 1870 fourth-class offices,
40 are money order stations. Dur
ing the year &c fourth-class Offices

tinued. Kansas ranks % in popula-
ton, and 13 in the number of
presidential offices. 1t ranks II in

masters, the average yearly income
of each being $3.50. The gross re-
ceipts of the 1921 post offices in
Kansas aggregated ST. .521, or s1.24
