idea, as 1 explained above that a
special delivery letter is treated pre-
cisely like ordinary mail as far as
protection is concerned.
Some Points 20 Remember.
There are few points, If remem-
bered and carried out, which will do
more TO insure the proper delivery of
your mail than anything else and /
shall take another liberty in setting
down a few of them. Do not use
iimsy envelopes, but use these made
OF tough paper. they do not necessar-
ily have to be heavy. but should be
strong enough TO withstand the many
landings and pressure they are sub
jected to in transit. Be sure TO fully
prepay your mail, otherwise it may
be subjected to a very annoying de-
lay. For those who use only small
quantities of stamps the offices now
sell ones and twos in small books
containing paraffine leaves to prevent
the stamps sticking together. Again,
:place return request on the envelope
or wrapper. For those who use
stamps in quantity the government
or more with the return address print
ed free.
a Few Comparisons.
Before closing / want to make a
few comparisons which should be of
interest TO all who have the welfare
of Pensacola at heart, as they show
that the city is growing and probably
more rapidly than the most optimistic
believed possible.

Money Order Division.
To send money through the mail in
safety the government has instituted
the money order division of the post
Office department. Here, for small
fee, depending on the amount, you
may send any amount not over 800
TO a single order, but the number OF
orders is not limited, so you can send
S1o0 or 1,000, but in the latter case
you will have to get ten or more or
ders.
This system insures the sender
against loss. For fee of is cents

ceipt. He sends the order to the adj
dressee, retaining the receipt in case
the order is lost. Being notified that

BERLIN, Oct. 16.-The P1auen and

u second is cruising along the west

third IL %patroiing the North Frislan

Dispatches received here from Edin-
burgh last night tell a most extraordi-
nary story of how the Busley, manned
by her ha~lf-starved, ~half-naked avia-
tors, fell to the sea-top in sight of the
steamship Prinz Wilhelm; how they
climbed to the top of their great bag
as it bounded from the crest of one
wave to another, and how finally sail

ceeded in o%utrowing the windswept
ship of air, threw a line to its aero

The state has never made any pro-
vision for the IRE Of state funds. The
state money Is turned over to the
state treasurer and he is held respons-
ible for every dollar. Kirk G. Phil
lipps, when he was state treasurer
lost nearly 800, 900 of state money by
the failure of a Sioux Falls bank and
he had to make it good. Thus 1t will
be seen that the state treasurer Is not
protected by the state; he has to put
up his bond to the state and the
state holds him for every dollar.
Treasurer Phillips was allowed the
interest on state deposits but the in
terest didn't cover the amount lost in
the Sioux Falls failure. The state
only furnishes a vault in the old fire.
trap capitol building but no safe for
the treasurer. Hereafter the state
must protect its own money and the
treasurer will give bond to the state
for the safe and careful administra-
tion Of the office as we'll as a guaran-
tee against loss through him. The
treasurer now by his half million
dollar bond guarantees the safety OF
every dollar turned over to his care
by the state. The interest is all
right but it didn't make Kirk Phil
lips good, nor would 1t make any
treasurer secure against a busted
bank. The half million dollar bond
put up by Treasurer Cassill protects
the state and the state says you have
the money, do as you please with it,
the state is secure. Any state trea-
surer that would assume all that re-
sponsibility for $500 a year would
be a fool. When the state protects
its W money any competent mar
may take the treasurership at $1s9f
and sleep nights with some degree OF
comfort and a knowledge that a bust.
ed bank with state funds can't bust
him. No man will be SO happy
over a law covering this question as
the state treasurer, for he must be
brave indeed to assume such a vast
responsibility, even if we gave him
double interest. The best banks in
the country go down sometimes
nothing is absolutely sure but death.
