Show GETS '2-CENT MONEY ORDER Two-Cent Balance Is Paid Tnrough Express Ex-press Company by Kansas Woman. The smallest money order ever made out by the agent for the local express company was given to a woman to pay on an account owed to a mail-order house, according to a Blackwell story printed in the Ardmoreite. The woman wom-an had received a letter from the mailorder mail-order house notifying her that she owed the firm two cents. Indignant and unable to realize the spirit that would prompt any one to mail a bin for two cents, Ihe woman decided that a post office stamp would not suffice and that only a money order would do. The fee or the order was three cents and the postage stamp necessary to carry it cost two cents more, so that with the two-cent postage stamp that carried the bill to the woman seven cents was expended in collecting u. two-cent debt.
