FOR POSTAL BANKS j..
PASSBOOKS no BE USED
Old Custom to be Revived With Postal
Savings Banks.

Washington, d. c., August 5.-The
ancient and long established pass book
system used in ordinary savings banks
will be adopted for the proposed postal
savings banks, when they are estab-
lished by the United States govern
ment. The committee of officials that
has been perfecting the plans for the
postal banks had been considering
what is known as the coupon system
for postal bank deposits, but has now
decided that while having some all
yantages that system might produce
complications that would be undesira
bile.
According to the coupon system de-
.positors would receive with each de-
post slip representing their deposit,
together with a coupon for the amount
of interest that would be paid on their
money. This, it is argued by those
who proposed the system, would IA
cilitate the handling of the business.
The committee, however, decided there
We're too many objections to flooding
the country with millions of deposit
slips, with interest coupons attached
many Of which would represent values
of only a few cents. Then they de-
termined to adept the old-time and
well-tried passbook for depositors.

GOVERNMENT TO
AID FARMERS
In Raising a High Quality
of Seed.

Washington, d. c., August others
in profit in raising high grade seed
Seed crops of sweet corn, garden peas
and beans of good quality are in ever
increasing demand, and the quantity
needed yearly has become so large
that the scotsman is obliged to have
the major portion of his stock grown
for him by others. Within the past
few years there has been an enormous
increase in the quantity of seeds pro
duced for commercial purposes. This
has been due in large measure to the
development of seed growing and
handling as a business. There are
now nearly 1000 seed firms doing bus
mess in the United States. One Of
the largest of these uses buildings
with an aggregate floor space of IS
acres. Thi sspace is much larger than
was occupied by the entire seed trade
of the country only so years ago. The
quality has also vastly improved re-
Gently.
Any farmer who contemplates under
taking seed crop farming will do well
to consider thoroughly the many ele-
ments which enter into profits. Seeds
men are often able to place contracts
for growing seed at very low prices
even lower than that at which grain Of
the species can be sold on TIE market
Such condition might be due to any
of several causes, but usually rests on
an over-supply. or a demand for an
inferior product The general tender
cy now, however, is decidedly in the
other direction, and both seed dealers
and seed growers can do much by CO.
operation to further this tendency.
In response to a demand for greater
knowledge of the cultural methods
which are best adapted to seed crop
growing for the vegetables mentioned.
the United States department of agri-
culture has just issued a new publica-
ton, bulletin 1874, of the bureau of
plant industry, under the title. "The
Production of Vegetable Seeds; Sweet
Corn Garden Peas and Beans"
This publication discusses this en-
tire subject very thoroughly and gives
instructions for securing crops Of
seeds for these different species

New York August 5.-Miss Henri

last Tuesday has been Mrs John J.
Hart, is never going to quarrel with
her John again. They almost lost
each other last week because of a
foolish lovers quarrel. The only way
the could make it up was by getting
married at once, though Miss Steph-
ems had already joined Charles Au-
gustus Searles in taking out a mar
.riage license.
Miss Stephens and Mr.. Hart, who
lived at No. 11S Prospect Park, West,
had been keeping company for three
years. A year ago he gave her dia-

married, but the engagement was never

that his friend Hart had the right-of-

Stephens and Mr.. Hart went to Coney
Island and had a good time On the
way home they quarreled. Neither re-
members what it started about but it
grew so serious that Miss Stephens
gave Mr. Hart his ring and said she
never wanted to see him any more.
He said that went for two, and they
parted in anger.
Mr.. Hart told his friend, Searles, his
heart was broken and he was never
going to look at a woman again. Salts

the way was clear, so he went to Miss
stephens home and proposed to sub

him, and they went to Borough Hall

Jumping on car, he went to Miss
Stephens home, declared he was the
one to blame, and they made up then

WOMAN CLOSES HER
M0THER.IN.LAN'S MOUTH
Uses Fly Paper to Turn the Little
Trick,

New York August 5.-"Ill teach you
to keep your mouths shut exclaimed
Mrs. Clara Brandon to her mother-in,
law Mrs. Levinda Brandon and fitting
the action to the word slapped a
piece of sticky fiy-strewn paper over
the elder Mrs Brandons mouth.
She did not hesitate to pick out a
piece that would have been less OBJ
jectionable because it had not been
''on duty long but chose the first one
she ran across and made good JOB
of it by FASTING the edges around her
mother-in-law's ears.
At least that was the story told bv
the elder Mrs. Brandon when she
appeared in police court against her
daughter-in4law. Her features still
bore the marks of the paper and her
face and ears were decorated with
fly wings and glue. She left ''the
evidence" on her face overnight to
convince the judge she said
The daughter-in-law was arrested
charged with assault and battery, and
when the elder Mrs. Brandon went to
police headquarters to talk over the
situation she was advised not to re-
move the battle scars.
The elder Mrs. Brandon said she
was sitting on the front porch when
her daughter-in-law ordered her to
depart. She moved over to the corner,
she said, and then her daughter-in-law
kicked her on the ankle. But Mrs.
Brandon said she refused to move
further, and her daughter-in-law
rushed into the kitchen and picked up
the fiy-paper which, she pasted over
her mouth.
Judge Collins continued the case.

LATHAM, ALEXANDER'S
WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New York, August The contin-
uance OF dry, hot weather in Texas
and Oklahoma and fear of droutb il
these states, stimulated buying OF
cotton this week on a larger scale
than at any time this year, particular
ly of the new crop, and substantial
gains were made and firmly held.
TIE evening up of the long and short
accounts caused irregularity in the Old
crop options, but the advantage Law
altogether with the bulls and the
shorts were compelled to- pay dearly
for their misjudgment of last season s
conditions.
1t IS becoming generally recognized
that the growing crop sustained Sc
rious damage during Judy from excess
sive rains over the greater part of rhe
belt east of the Mississippi and the I'M
official estimates now being circulated
are very much lower that las.
months.
That we shall have a crop of not
more than twelve million bales seems
probable now and unless Texas and
Oklahoma get rain within the near
future it is likely to be considerably
less. In view of last years shortage
crop Of under twelve million bales
will necessarily result in very high
prices and trade interests inc the best
position to appreciate this situation
hiave been the heaviest buyers of COT
ton during the pas tefw weeks.
Private reports indicate a deteriora-
tion of about pr cent. in the condi-
ton of the crop this month and the
report to be issued Au-
gust End is expected to be around T..
August is usually critical month for
the crop and the market is expected
to be very sensitive to weather condi-
tions during the next few weeks.
The occurrence of good rains in
Texas and Oklahoma might cause a
reaction, but I'VE believe that
prices will work higher later in the
season and the market is likely to
have very sharp advances upon any
further unfaVorable changes in the
weather.
