Can't Handle Skunk Skins.

A man can not sell polecat skins and
deliver the United States mail from
the same wagon at the same time
without getting in trouble with the
Post OH 70 Department. This was es-
tablished when Mr.. DeGraw, the
fourth assistant postmaster general,
received a complaint. from a farmer
living at Little Hooking, Washington
county, OHIO, who declares that the
rural free delivery carrier who brings
his letters and newspapers disposes Of
oolecat skins as q side line. The COM
plainaDt further says that bis letters
and newspapers eIude a very disagree
able odor as a result of this contact
with the skins, and that he thinks
the department should make the car
rier cut out the side line or resign
from the gCvsrnment service. Tne
rules OF the department allow a rural
catrier to carry on other business, pro.
viaed it does not interfere with his
deliveries, and Mr.. d. Graw is trying
to figure out whether this Is a SUN.
