THE First National Bank, of Columbus,
Ind, writes to the Journal inclosing postal
card addressed to itself which was mailed in
this city on Feb. Is and reached its destina-
ton on March Is, one month and five days
later. Mr.. Villas, who announced just previ-
GUS to his transfer to the Interior Department
that the postal service was in perfect condi-
ton, and Mr.. Dickinson, who, after a casual
glance over the field, has since confirmed the
statement, will confer a favor by explaining
how the banking business of the country is to
be carried on in the face of such delays.
