CANADIAN MONEY ORDERS CONFUSING Misunderstanding in some localities in regard to handling money orders from Canada, has resulted in deducting the difference in exchange at both ends of the line, it is stated at the local postoffice. Definite rulings have now been made which will make thif impossible. Under this ruling, every money order received from Canada is to be paid at its full face value with no deduction. The reason for this is that the exchange is collected at offices in Canada from which the orders are sent. The rate charged is according to the standard of exchange for that particular day.

Thus a person buying a money order might be charged J10S or even as high as $112 for an order for $100. But the exchange ir -aid at the start, so that when th -i-der is cashed, it should be for the iuli $100.
