POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

A bill was introduced Wednesday in
the United States Senate to establish a
system of postal savings banks, as being
calculated to encourage economy and
thrift and to afford place of deposit free
from any possibility of doubt or suspicion
for vast sums of money which might be
otherwise boarded and kept out of circu-
lation through ignorance or lack of conf
dence. The postmaster general is author
lied by the bill to establish system OF
postal savings banks composed of such
money order offices as he may designate
for that purpose. Accounts may be
opened and deposits made in any postal
savings bank established under this act
by any person of the age of 10 years or
over in his own name, by a married
woman in her own name and free from
any control or interference by her hus-
band, by trustee as such on behalf of
another person, by parent, guardian or
another person for the benefit of child
under 10 years of age, or by any charit-
able or benevolent society or association.
The bill further provides that such postal
banks shall receive deposits of money in
even dollars, with one dollar as a mini
mum, and postmasters are required to
make daily reports to the postmaster
general, who will forward to the depositor
a written acknowledgment of its receipt.
Deposits are not liable to seizure or deten-
ton under legal processes against the de-
positors, and such funds are exempt from
taxation. Interest at the rate of 2 per
cent per year is allowed depositors, and
the postmaster general is authorized to
place the money deposited in postal saw
ings banks in national banks at a rate of
interest satisfactory to the secretary of the
treasury. National banks are prohibited
from receiving any compensation for
cashing or collecting any checks or any
other service in connection with postal
banks, t.

WARNING TO FAR MERs

There seems to be quite an epidemic
among the horses and mules on the
Eastern Shore, and many farmers have
lost heavily. 1t is the opinion of those
who have studied the question that the
loss of animals was caused by feeding
mouldy corn.
Timothy Nesbit, OF Cecil County, lost
three horses, one fine driver, and pair
of blacks, valued at 1000. The horses
died after eating mouldy corn. In Kent
County several farmers have lost horses
and mules, and in Worchester County
the Messrs. Harrison lost five mules. q.
DR.. John D. Dennis, veterinary of Cecil
County, states that he fears great loss Of
live stock during the next few months,
due to the unWholesome character of corn
and corn fodder. The doctor was called
to see valuable horse in the county last
week, but the animal was dying from
spinal meningitis. The doctor ascribed
the cause of the disease to mouldy corn
and fears there will be many more cases
unless the farmers exercise great precau-
tion. He would advise feeding only
shelled corn, as the danger seems to lie
largely in the cob. The ear will look
smooth, hard and wholesome, but upon
breaking it open the cob is found dis
eased and it is the eating of this diseased
cob which does much of the damage.
The farmers would do we'll to consider
the danger, and prevent the loss of their
stock.

LIBERTY BRAND CANNING COMPANY

/ Acontract has been awarded for Dovar,a
biggest industrial concern, secured for the
State capital town by Edward C. Wilson
and number OF other progressive citi-
zens, and whose plant will be constructed
at once. It is the Liberty Brand Canning
Company.
Inc concern is that headed by ]. A.
Morris, OF fredericksburg, Nd, aman who
has few equals in the canning business as
well as one Of the best judges of vegetables
and fruits in the United States. who
astonished the whole Peninsula by can
ming and conserving everything grown on
the Peninsula, by patent steaming pro-
cess, and then selling his production to
the people at record breaking low prices.
For fear the trust would get hold of
this man and his fredericksburg factory
and patents, a syndicate was organized in
Dover, headed by Mr.. Wilson and the
concern retained A, B. Magee of Dover,
as counsel and began application for a
charter at the State department there,
The Morris plan is to get into cans as
soon as they ripen every fruit and yege.
table that can be plucked fresh from the
vines OF the Peninsula, and he begins in
May with early strawberries, and then
with string beans. By his patents, it is
said, he can place delicious canned articles
IN the market at 5, and cents per can,
decided advantage to the poor of the
country, and particularly the growers
themselves. Under this plan, the Dover
concern will conserve and pack straw.
berries, string beans, pickles, pumpkins,
blackberries, raspberries, dewberries,
apple butter and apple sauce, peaches,
piums, pears, corn, tomatoes, peas, oyster
plant, asparagus, rhubarb, carrots and
mangoes.
The plant will, in other words, pack in
tempting style and with delicious prepara-
ton practically everything grown in the
gardens, orchards and vineyards of the
Peninsula, except meats. The Federals-
burg plant, which is now being rapidly
moved to Dover, had such variety, this
year, that one man, ordering ''two cases,
each, OF everything you packed, and
hurry them along" got a bill with his
consignment for $204, and the goods
came to 5, 6 and 8 cents per can.
The new Dover plant will consist OF
four buildings, five with boiler, engine
and power house. The main plant will
be two-story building, go by 40 feet ;
the factory will be 100 by 60 feet, and
there will be ample Warehousing space in
the two large buildings, of shipIapped
construction. The contractor will have
the building ready as soon as possible.
This company hope to commence canning
by the 18th of May. The farmers fully
appreciate this mammoth canning factory
as it brings them in early cash. 1t is the
duty of every one to put their shoulder to
the wheel and push it along.
