This method of compromising these
rural postmasters, 1t appears, prompt
some OF them to use various devices
to increase cancellations. The more
stamps they cancel, the more they
make.
The inspectors have reported many
schemes adopted by postmasters to
swell the cancellation fees. Some of
them have mailed bricks. gravel and
other bulky and worthless articles.
Others who conduct stores sell gro
ceries to their relatives and friends In
other localities and by affixlng sufi-
