Pamphlet Containing Valuable infor-

Fort Worth, Texas, July S.-The
Texas Commercial Secretaries and
Business Mems Association has just
issued a pamphlet, entitled The
Texas Barnyard," which gives write
up of the livestock industry as Uncle
Sam found il in his census reports.
The cover page is handsomely illus
trated in four colors, showing Uncle
Sam opening the barnyard gate and
letting 100000 head Of livestock out
into a pasture as large as the German
empire, three times bigger than Japan
and almost as great in area as the
thirteen original colonies, and, accord
ing to the secretaries, it is the grand
est sight in twentieth century civiliza-
ton.
The mules, horses, cattle, hogs,
sheep and poultry are given a separate
write-up and the superiority OF the
Texas product pointed out. According
to the government figures quoted,
there are 100000 head of mules, val
ued at sos per head; 100000 head
of horses, valued at $50 per head; s.

MORE POSTAL BANKS THIS WEEK

Washington, July 10.-With the in
stallation today of fifty additional saw
ings banks, and fifty more to be
opened Thursday. the total of such
repositories in operation this week
will reach $50 Postmaster General
Hitchcock is delighted with the sue
cess of the scheme and declares it
will not be long until full thousand
banks will be open to the public.
Statistics show that of the banks
already established those in the far
West have been best patronized. Bis
bee, Ariz., Tonopah, New, ana Pitts
burg. Kan, show especially good Vrec-
crds. Experience shows that mining
and industrial cities of from 10000 to
$4,000, with considerable foreign pop
ulations, best appreciate the facilities
offered by the postal banks.
Opposition of the bankers to the
postal repositories has proved ground
less. as the money placed with the
pcstoffices quickly finds its way into
circulation, as it is promptly deposited
in selected bank repositories after its
receipt at the postoffice banks. EX-
cept for the security offered by Uncle
Sam, much of this money would prob
ably be kept hidden away. so the
banks really benefit from the postal
hanks.

because progress is just what the law
