poseal SAVINGS 0aA1s.
upon Ne subject Of postal savings
banks the Chicago Record quotes Post
master General Gary a. an authority
and says:
''Postmaster General Gary 10 . man Of
wealth. He has been . director Of .
Baltimore savings bank for more than
Is years. yet thst fact does not deter
him from giving his hearty support to
abe agitation for postal savings banks.
lie does not fear that the government
Institutions would interfere with his
business. On the contrary, his knowl-
edge of the benefits of savings banks.
based on his experience in connection
with the Baltimore institution of which
he is director, has made him the more
enthusiastic advocate of postal savings
banks. Postmaster General Gary makes
some remarkable statements concern
ing the value of postal savings banks
In bringing into circulation boarded
money. He says:
"'Postnl savings banks would put
the breath of lie into the dead money
Of the United States. Have you ever
thought what dead thing money is
when it is not in use? 1t is the deadest
thing in the universe. There are many
millions Of such dead money in the
country. II is horded away in stock
in2s, buried under the hearthstones,
tucked away behind the rafters and
planted here and there in the earth. be-
rausc the owners have no faith
in private savings institutions.
They have faith in the gov
ernment, and they would bring the
money out and deposit it in the postal
sayings banks. AS to how much of such
money there is in the country, you can
ruess just us we'll as can. l Ihave asked
number of men what they think the
average of boarded money would
smount to per capita. Some have est-
mated that it would be $40, others SIS.
and some less. Suppose. for instance.
It was SIS per capita. This would make
.he enormous sum OF S350.00O,C00. I
don't believe it would be less than that,
though would not like to prophesy.
Such boards are usually greater than
IS supposed. Some OF them amount to
Hundreds and some thousands of dol
hrs.'
"Those who object to postal savings
banks for fear they would gather up the
small! savings of a community for trans
mission to Washington, thus depriving
hat community OF some of its loanable
xealth, should take notice of the com
ensatng feature OF bringing into cir
I tulation the boarded money OF the
rountry. Money sent to Washington,
much OF which will come from hiding
PAGES, will not be boarded in the treas
ry vaults. It will be invested and made
b draw interest. and will thereby be
bdded 10 the circulation of the country.
y u will be transformed from idle into
n tctive wealth. To use the words Of the
pstmaster general. the pcs,al savings
hnks will indeed put life into dead
, boney."

Bargains in crockery come,
not from over-buying, through
breaking sets for customers.
Odd pieces have less CONNER
cial value, to us, than full sets,
but to the purchaser there is
no difference.
We have vast number Of
broken tea sets, odd cups and
saucers, breakfast. dinner and
tea plates and glassware. These
have been massed together to
form the foundation for a bar
gain week. The prices are a
third off cost and for cash there
will be discount; that means
that the goods will go to ev-
eryone for the same average
nrice, for the reason that with
the reduction and discount,
the prices will be too low to
admit of loss of interest accu-
mulating on time accounts.
This sale will last one week
beginning Monday, February
%. The opportunity to secure
this class of goods at such low
prices will not occur again in a
twelve month, and ladies who
wish to fill up the vacant
sapces in their pantries should
avail themselves Of it.
