Where's The "Diffugilty 2"

The great postofIice department of
the United States of America is sup
posed to be managed and controlled
by the greatest business minds in the
world, yet it does some things that
even an insignificant country editor
can see are worse than foolish. For
instance, a patron on Rural Route 4
gives an order for fifty sale bills on
light card board to be mailed to him
You tie them up in the usual way and
offer them at the postoffice window
They weigh So ounces and Uncle Sam
asks 26 cts for delivering them. But
we are informed that by using piece
of board, tin or some other junk as
part of the package, so as TO make
the package weigh IL ounces more, it
will be carried for Z cents. The same
kind of figuring is applied to other
printed matter, so that in the course
of a year the printer pays good
many extra dollars, unless he makes
his packages weigh four pounds.
We have even been instructed by
patrons to wrap into the packages an
old brick, bat or stone. We never
obeyed such instructions; but we claim
It is worse that foolish it is almost
criminal to subject "A poor printer to
such temptation Whitewater Register
