Thursday, July 10, 1930 ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR POSTAL SERVICE ~ No longer will Uncle Sam‘s postâ€" vffice department play private secâ€" retary to careless correspondents, acâ€" cording to advices received by postâ€" masters which tell of new regulations To Be Made Where Clerks Have To Do Unnecessary Work; Explanation being : put into . effect that place charges on postal services that once were courtesies. 3 The changes affect not only errors in addressing, but apply in other reâ€" spects where the postal officials ‘no longer feel that the postoffice should do clérical or other work that mailers spould do themselves. The .trend became noticeable reâ€" cently when freak addresses were barred from the mails. Such adâ€" dresses as "The Lipstick that Won‘t Rub Off, New York City," were deâ€" livered because someone in the postâ€" office would recall that a certain cosâ€" metic house used that slogan in its advertising. But that‘s out now. Charge Aids Correctness Then came a 10 cent charge for the delivery of "C.0.D." packages on which the sender made some change in the details after package had been mailed. It was common for a sender to notify the postoffice that it had made an error in the "C.0.D." charge and request a correction; or for some other detail to be . changed. Such changes required additional: clerical work, which the department now feels should be avaided. The charge is made to encourage correct mailing. In October a 5â€"cent demurrage charge will be placed on parcels held in the postoffice. over 15 days. Such parcels _ have . required â€" additional storage space and the postoffice deâ€" partment feels it is not in the wareâ€" house business. Salesmen are in the habit of â€" ordering goods "C.0.D." from jobbing houses and leaving them in the postoffice until they are ready to call for them. ~ Keep 10 Per Cent A new order. affects perishable goods.

Warns Against Wildcat Fur Farming Ventures The securities division of the Wisâ€" consin railroad commission is beginâ€" ning an active war against wildeat fur farming ventures, it became known yesterday. A bulletin urging the public to use great care in inâ€" vesting in any such business has been issued. "The commission is impressed with the dangers surrounding speculative promotions in soâ€"called fur farming projects," it announced in an official tatement. "For some time many of these orâ€" ganizations have carried on business in the state of Wisconsin and other states, including projects for raising foxes, mink, rabbits, muskrats, beavâ€" er and other animals. "This form of promotion . offers such unusual and effective opportuâ€" nity for fraud that the securities diviâ€" sion has felt it should warn the pubâ€" lic to use great care before making an investment in any form of fur farming . venture."
