Postmaster Knots of the New Steel
Cooperative town of Gary, Ind, is not
finding his Office a lucrative position
He took charge when the town had
Just begun to sprout, as it were, and
it was second class office The town
has grown so rapidly that the gov
eminent has been unable to unwind
red tape fast enough to keep up with
1t. Consequently Postmaster Knott
has been obliged to add more clerks
and expensive facilities to his office
and pay for them out of his own
pocket as the salary of the postmaster
is adjusted by the department only
once a year. He is now running a
fourth class office on a second class
salary, and is out of pocket over 5000
month. If this were a common oc-
curance there would not be such a
scramble for Uncle Sans post offices

WILL IT BE WORTH THE COST?
The eyes of the nation are centered
on the cruise of it's battleships. Never
before has there been such a spectac-
ular scene enacted in time of peace
by any American fleet. Never before
has there been such a magnificent
spectacle on so large a scale, not only
in the nations but in the worlds his
tory as this sailing OF the sixteen
mammoth battleships. But the cost
of the trip is large. When they are
figured up they will unquestionably
run into figures that will seem stup-
endous. Some of the congressman
are greatly disturbed over this feature
of the trip and they are raising all
sorts of objections to It, but they are
the objections that are always made
when the value of money is placed
against the value of other things. 1t
is doubtful If the people will be equal
ly disturbed. The American people
are willing to pay the price to estab-
ish some thing in the worlds mind
If 1t Is ever established, it will cost
something and the people as a whole
are beginning to realize this. They
realize that the United States is on
the threshold of a new era in world
affairs. 1t cannot be isolated. Whether
we like 1t or not, 1t is Il world power
For good or for i'll, this fact must be
accepted This means that the world
must be acquainted with us and we
must be acquainted with ourselves
We want peace with all the world.
We want nothing else. There is no
way to demonstrate that power so
quickly and so efficiently to so many
different nations as by the trip OF a
Splendidly equipped fleet OF battle
ships. 1t will be an object lesson
that will impress itself upon every
port that is entered. 1t will not be
forgotten, 1t will command the re
spect, the admiration and feeling of
wholesome fear such as has never
yet been felt by many people toward
this nation. The best way to avoid
war and trouble is to show the world
that YOU are ready for it and can
promptly meet any emergency that
may arise. This is the great value
Of the trip.
But in addition to this, 1t will enable
us TO understand our own weaknesses
and our own capacity on sea as well
as on land. In the drill and practice
in handling the fleet, the men on
board the vessels vii come back to
us thoroughly trained and ready to
cope with any trouble should it arise.
Without such an experience, they
would be seriously handicapped. AS
to the wear and tear of the ships that
is merely incidental, and it is a great
deal better for them to wear out com
handing the attention of the world
than to rot out lying unused in our
own harbors. 1t is questionable if
when history is fully written 1t does
not note the fitting out and sailing OF
the battleships around the world as
one of the most justifiable and bril-
liant events of the Roosevelt admin
istraton. The millions that it will
cost are merely incidental to the
dignity and the eXaltation that it will
bring to the great republic which we
love.

Business Principles, as Applied to
Savings Banks.

Despite the marvellous growth of adj
vertising in late years, the casual thinker
might question the wisdom OF its ex-
tension to the business of a country
savings bank.
But results retute theories, for we are
informed that the Hyde Park Savings
Bank, during a six months advertising
campaign, increased its deposits nearly a
quarter million dollars.
We have savings bank in our village.
We cannot, however, withhold a need
of praise for the business sagacity of ex-
Gov Page in thus keeping Vermont
money in Vermont, policy at once
patriotic ard mutually beneficial.
Printers ink, combined with careful
and square business methods, has made
Hyde Park the hub of the hide industry,
and the same agencies bid fair to make
it widely known as center of savings.
