Uncle Sam has issued an order allowing merchants and corpora tions who buy stamps in large quantities to mark them in such a manner that they can be identified. The order has grown out of the frequent theft of stamps which have occurred over the country, the detection of which has been rendered difficult because there was no means of identifying them. The order requires that the mark shall consist of perforation, to distin- guish 1t from cancellation marks used by the postoffices. Regula- tions are prescribed as to the height and breadth of tha marks, but euf- ficient latitude is allowed to ena- hle large variety of marks.

ARIZONA SCHOOLS BESTlNU.S.

The following interview with Delegate Mark Smith is from the Washington Post:
 "The common school system of Arizona is the best in the United States, even if Ariznna is only territory said Delegate Marcus 4. Smith at the Occidental, who has represented that territory for twenty years consecutively.
 "Our system is compulsory. and [think it is a wise one IL is wise for the req son that the intelligent ci,izen will not he offended hv a law compelling him to educate his children. and the careless. improvi dent parent might let his children lose the opportunity presented by the territory.
 As matter of pride we pay our tea chers well and so we get the best. Statistics show Ariznna has approximately less illiteracv among white people than any other territory. We pay the highest school tax and give greater atten- tinn 10 the technical part of school ma'ters than some of our proudest old states.
 "The great drawback to settle nent that every territory has had is that people are timid about set ting in territory, preferring to live in a state.
 'We have something that few people have heard about We have what is called "drv farming" This ioea not mean that we can raise a crop without water, but the seasons heinz generally dry the farmer chooses a product that can sprout, grow and mature in given time, and the dry farmer gets in his work in the rainy season.
 But the time will come when we will have all the rain we want The solution of this problem rests with the agricultural and metereor- gical departments of the govern ments. The planting of trees, the horing of artesian wells, in other words, the production of a moist surface of the ground will invite precipitation All such difficulties can be overcome ny science and common sense."

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

IN planning progressive legislation
for the benefit of the wage earners,
Canada is rapidly adopting the new
ideas that are making Australia and
New Zealand famous throughout the
civilized world.
Cognizance is being taken by the
Canadian government of the fact that
men grow old, and that when they
the breakneck speed of our modern
Industrial system they ought not to be
thrown upon the scrap heap like SO
much junk.
Many reasoning, fair-minded men
have become 5mbued with the idea
that If 1t is right to pension veterans
who were unfortunately compelled to
kill their kind and destroy wealth, it
Is doubly right to reward those vet
Grams who produce wealth. preserve
peace and steadily upbuild a higher
civilization.
Thus our peace-1oving Canadian
neighbors propose to enact legislation
providing pensions for the aged. 1t
is hoped to encourage thrift and saw
ing among the working people. and
to insure the beneficiaries an annual
income after they reach the age of 0
or IS years, sufficient to keep them
from actual want.
1t is estimated that by the payment
of an annual amount of s13, begin
ming at twenty years of age, the bene-
f1ciary will become entitled to an an
nuity of 1920 for life when he has
reached the age of so years. If the
beneficiary prefers to wait for his
pension until he is SIS years of ago,
he will then be entitled to 5000 per
annum.
The contributors savings will be
paid into the local postoffices where
ever they may reside. These savings
will then be given compound interest,
semi-annually, from the government
at the rate of 4 per cent.
A government annuity will not be
made in favor OF any person other
than the actual annuitant, nor for
any larger sum per annum than $500.
Where a family is DESTROYS of assuring
itself more than $500 yearly there is
nothing to prevent the wife taking OUT
an account In her own name as well
as the husband.
These government pensions or an
nuities will be absolutely inalienable-
that is they can not be capitalized OF
sold to anyone else, and the law will
provide that the money that a family
derives from them can not be seized
for any purpose whatsoever.
Should the annuitant be unable OF
unwilling to keep up his payments I'M
til he has reached the age of 60 year,
he will be allowed to withdraw what.
ever money he has paid in with in.
terest at the rate of 8 per cent pei
annum. OF course annuities will CEASE
with the death of the beneficiary.
