pressibly shocked the we'll groomed
and aristocratic congregation of one
of the fashionable churches on Fifth
avenue, New York, was when the
pastor began his Sunday sermon with
the words Life is just one damn
thing after another" The members
gasped and did not resume breath

planned that he had merely quoted
motto which certain business man
had hung up above his desk The
pastor strongly disapproved not only
OF the profanity of the words, but
also of the cynicism of the sentiment
expressed by the motto, and severely
censured the business man who had

Martin. That's enough land, if

Martin found his 20 acres. 1t was
rocky and not worth farming, so the
owners of surrounding farms said
As proof Of the poor quality of the
land Martin paid only $3.50 an acre
for it. while decent" land nearby
was selling at from $50 to SIS per
acre. The purchaser paid just 500

and livestock.
The blletin which the department
has issued concerning Martin says:
His neighbors used to laugh at
the young farmer, and nicknamed
him Hazelbrush,' but they now say
he is making more money off his
70 acres than We are off our 100
acres He does not want any more

Is the Largest in the World.
An enormous tree is located at Ell
Tule, a village a few miles east of
Oaxaca, Mexico. The tree, which is
cypress, is believed to be the
largest in circumference of any in
the world. 1t measures 104 feet
around the trunk at a height of 100
feet, and twenty-seven people hold
ing hands can just reach around it.
The tree has stood for many CEN
turtles, and part of it's trunk has
commenced to decay from sheer old
age. One person of a rather statist1-
cal turn of mind has estimated that
the tree and it's branches must weigh
something like 1900 tons.

The entry of Postmaster Genera

bank measure against the opposition
of the banking interests has also giver
new and official data to the aid OF
Senator Carter and other western sen.
ators to secure the immediate passage
Of the bill Mr.. Meyers article for the
Woman's World of Chicago, an ad.
vance extract of which has just beer
made public, not only establishes be-
yond question the determination of the
administration to carry out the will OF
the people, as expressed at the polls
last November, by making the postal
savings plan law at this session. but
also disposes for good of one of the
main arguments of the bankers by
which they have attempted to block
all legislation on the subject. This is
the claim that the establishment OF
postal savings banks would result in
the shipment of currency out of the
west ana the concentration of the saw
ings Of the country in a few eastern
centers. The postmaster general shows
In his article that the reverse of this
would be the case, for money received
by the government would be deposited
In national banks in the localities from
Wnlch 1t came and the calling into cir
culation Of millions of dollars now
hidden In stockings and other places
would provide communities with more
currency than they now have for tho
purpose of commerce. There can be
no question as to the advisabilitv of
encouraging the foreigners within our
Doroers to make such disposition of
their savings that some benefit will
accrue TO the communities in which
they are employed" he said. Under
the bill now before the senate with a
favorable report from the committee
on postoffices and postroads, the
money would be widely distributed.
as 1t would be placed In the national
banks IN the districts where the de-
posts were first brought to the post
OFFICES. The government would not po
INTO the banking business. AS the
postolf1ce department is preferred
creditor. it would not demand collat-
erai from the banks in the wav Of
ponds. There would be the safeguard
OF the comptroller of the currency re-
porting regularly on the standing Of
the banks that are used as deposi-
torres, and the public liability of the
stockholders of the national banks
would be an additional assurance of
the security Of the deposits

PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN
FOR POSTAL BANK
THERE is A POSSIBILITY THAT
THE MEASURE WILL BE CON-
SlDERED AT THIS ESSiON.

Chicago, Jan l3-Prospects of the
passage of the postal savings bank bill
at this session of congress frightened
somewhat, according to advices from
members, as results of announcements
that the friends and advocates of the
measure, hitherto unorganized, were
swinging into united front under the
banner of the Postal Bank League of
the United States, with headquarters
in Chicago. Members of congress are
likely before the end of another week
to have abundant reminders from their
constituencies that the American peo-
pie have confidently expected prompt
enactment of the postal savings meas
ure and will resent temporizng or de-
lays. The Postal Savings league has
issued an address declaring: 1t is 60
ing to be a square~toed fight to see
whether congress represents the people
or not. This league will serve to CO.
ordinate the forces which seek the
prompt enactment of the measure"
The advisory committee of this league
includes many governors and repre-
sentative business men who have
pledged active support for the measure
during the next few weeks. Head
quarters are in the fortress of the OPP
position, the First National bank
building. AdviCes to the league are
that nothing short of tremendous
pressure from back home" can con-
vince congress that the Garter bill
can be reached before adjournment.
Congressman Madden of Illinois has
written as much, his letter being as
follows:
II am interested in the postal saw
ings bank bill also. I know of no way
that any assistance on your part
would aid Inc in becoming more en-
thusiastic for the proposition than |
now am. l have always been an adj
vocate of it. I will do what | can to
help pass the bill when it can be
reached 1t looks as if that would not
be this session." Among the "obsta-
cles" interposed is the desire Of Sena-
tor Aldrich to have the postal savings
bank wait upon the findings of his
monumental currency commission re-
port, although 1t Is not involved in the
scope of the investigation, and wait
ing would mean years of delay.
