Postmaster General Gary ex-
presses pleasure at the wide
spread comment upon his recon-
mendation for the establishment
of postal savings banks and in
vites further discussion of the
subject. If we all put our heads
together, the postmaster general
says, 1.-The right plan can be de-
vised, and that is what the
country wants"
1t is not often that cabinet
officer manifests such a DISPOSE
ton to learn the desires of the
people on matters of legislation
connected with the development
of his department. Postmaster
General Gary's request for a
widespread popular expression
of opinion on the subject should
meet with hearty response on
the part of the people. The
newspapers have already per-
formed their duty in the matter.
Labor organizations, too have
very generally given considera-
tion to the subject and with al
most unanimous voice have ask
ed for postal banks. 1t remains
now for other bodies, especially
those representing the CONNER
cial interests of the country, to
give their approval to the agita-
ton, in order that congress may
be assured that the sentiment of
all classes in the nation is vir-
tually united in favor of the early
establishment Of these much
needed institutions for the safe
keeping Of the savings of per-
sons of moderate means. 1t may
be true that the commercial and
business classes Of the country
have not such an immediate per-
sonal interest in the establish
ment of postal savings banks as
have the wage earners. But the
commercial portion of the COM
munity cannot afford to manifest
Indifference to the well-being
and contentment of the working
population of the country. Let
them do what they can to pro-
mote good feeling at least by
giving consideration to PROPOSE
tons like that for the establish
ment of postal savings banks,
the only object of which is to do
something for the people, whose
interests are only too rarely the
subject of intelligent considera-
ton by lawmakers. Chicago

Whatever may be said about the pub
locations of Rev. Irl r. Hicks by those
who do not fully understand the facts,
there is no denying the truth that his
paper and Almanac have come to stay
His splendid journal, WORD AND WORKS,
is now entering its tenth year largely
increased in circulation and in every
way improved, until it deserves the ma
tional reputation it Las attained. His
1897 Almanac is now ready and is by
far the finest and most beautiful he has
yet issued. Ii contains JOS pages, in
Guiding coyer artistically printed IN col
ors, and is filed from back to back with
just what is wanted in every shop, Office
and home in America. One feature of
the Almanac for 1897 is series of l2
original. beautifully engraved star maps,
with explanatory chapters, which conld
not be bought for less than five dollsrs
in any work on astronomy. As Mr..
Hicks has so correctly and faithfully
warned the public o: coming droughts
Hoods, cold waves, billiards, tornadoes
and cyclones. in the years passed. aside
from the other varied and splendid iea-
lures of his paper and Almanac, these
considerations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once for
1897. The Almanac is only 25cts. q copy.
WoRD AND WoRKs is one dollar year,

Every farmer and everyone interest
ed in farming should attend the Far
mers' Institute to be held at Lamar
Saturday March q. Interesting talks
by men OF experience will be given,
that cannot fail to benefit all. Tho
men who make a success OF farming
are those who attend and take an act.
i've part in such meetings, and read
everything they can get hold of in re.
gard to progressive farming. 1t takes
as much intelligence to run . farm on

business. Attend the Institute and

Experience of Thomas Reed, Formerly
 of Meriden-Seven Months in Prison
 in Cuba.
 Meriden, May 11.-Thomas Reed, who formerly worked at the local Western Union telegraph office and also at the Britannia shop, arrived in town last evening and paid a visit to Manager T. E. Russell. Young Reed was one of five Americans who were captured on the fllibuster Laurada by the Spaniards.
 The Americans were placed in prison in Cuba by their captors. Reed man. aged to escape after being detained for seven months. In a small boat he man. aged to row over to Key West, Fla, and from that place he worked his way north.
 Reed has received many a hard knock during his enforced visit at Cuba, and now declares that he has had enough of it-any country can have Cuba that wants it.
 He says the stories of Spanish cruel ty cannot be exaggerated.
 He was a prisoner in Morro castle for two months and afterwards detain- ed in a military camp.
