No Money Order Blanks.

A curious state Of affairs Is reported
from the West Jackson station Of the
postolfice. This station is out OF money
order blanks and no money orders can
be sold from there now. This station
holds the recrd of having sold more
money orders than any other station
in the south, and Postmaster Edwards
is very much worried because there
are no blanks. Blanks were ordered
month ago by the postmaster, but
owing to the fact that there has been
some trouble about the new contractor
starting on the blanks the department
has been unable to supply the West
Jackson station. There are plenty of
blanks at the central Office, but each
station or postoffice has to have it's
name printed on the blanks and for
this reason the blanks of the uptown
Office cannot be used at the West
Jackson station.
