Washington, June 2s-A silver To-
cent piece will be all that you VIII neeo
to start a savings bank account with

Uncle Sam wants to encourage
thrift among persons earning small
wages. He wants the child, as well
as the grown-up to learn to save. Many
persons spend their pennies. The postal
bank will receive only regular deposits
of ST.
To encourage the savings of the
squandered pennies. however, the post
al savings bank will issue card repre-
senting 10 cents. Then postal savings
stamps" will be sold at cents each.
When the card is filled with stamps
it will be accepted at the postal saw
ings bank as a 81 deposit and placed
to the account of the depositor.
Some of the features of the postal
savings bank law are:
Children over 10 years old may open
accounts.
Married women may have accounts
lin their own names and free from
control or interference from their hus-
bands.
No one will be allowed to deposit
more than 800 in any one calendar

son shall never exceed $500, exclusive
of accumulated interest

farm. to watch for her. A search
was made, but he was unable to ind
her hiding place until the other day.
Where an old ladder was inclined
against the trunk Of an old cherry tree
Mr.. Bailey noticed two chicks several
days old at the base and running
about peeping. While wondering
where they came from he was sur
prised to see the hen ny from the fork
of the tree and come to the relief of
her offspring. Further investigation
revealed the nest in the tree, together
with seven more peeps and an I'M
hatched egg. which proved to be rot

The chicks on the ground had fallen

Councilman Downey's PROPOSE
tion, made Tuesday night at coun-
Gil meeting, to improve Bradford
street from Fessenden to Richmond
by planking same the full width is
certainly a very good one, and
should meet with no opposition by
the property owners adjacent there
to. II is imperative that decent
roadway be constructed along this
badly congested thoroughfare. In
It's present state it is almost impos
sible to use the street with a team
of horses, whereas II 1t was planked,
1t would provide a fine driveway
the entire distance for hauling OF
any nature. This street has ever
been a dangerous one, and every
year Il Is becoming more SO. There
fore, since the project Of its i'm
provement Is being launched, II Is
to be hoped that none will stand In
the way Of its Improvement as pro-
posed. The march Of progress de-
mands that this street be improved,
and any party objecting Is an i'm
pcdiment to the development Of St.
Johns.
