the person to donate to him and asks
for the dollar and tells that person
to pick out his lists and go his

At the post office it was said that
not nearly so many chain letters are
observed in the mails now as was the
case a few weeks ago. The increase
in the purchase of postage stamps to
carry out the mailings was hardly
