Ready for Postal Bank.

In the money order department of
the local postoiIice there are many
rubber stamps, forms and certificates
OF deposit calling for amounts of from
81 to $50. Postmaster John II. Hays
is famliarizing himself with all these
forms, blank books and other supplies
which will be put in use here on July
l. when the postal savings depository
opens for business. Out in the lobby
of the postofTice the postmaster has
put in a conspicuous place large
sign, telling the public that the Nor.
folk postofiiCe is now a postal savings
depository and giving full information
to depositOrs
While the certificates of deposit are
for no less amount than 81, POstmas-
ter Hays has stored in the safety vault
many cards which cost ten cents each.
The depositor wishing to deposit less
than 81 can do so by purchasing one of
these cards which is worth ten cents.
Nine blank spaces on the card are pro.
vided for. On these blank spaces a
ten cent stamp can be pasted. When
nine stamps are attached the card is
worth 81 and a deposit certificate. Mr..
Hays expects much patronage from
children who he believes will want to
save their change by purchasing these
deposit cards. No child under the age
of 10 can be a depositor in Uncle
Sans Norfolk bank.
A feature of the postal savings bank
is the secrecy maintained of deposit
ors' names. When the office opens up
on Saturday morning and the first Gus
toner makes his appearance. he will
have to give his identity, but that
identity is to be guarded by Uncle
Sans agents. If the depositor wishes
to deposit 81 or more, certificate is
given him and a duplicate certificate
Is held by the local depository. The
depostor gets an envelope on which
is written his name and address. The
/ envelope has full information printed
on one side and on the other the rec
ord of deposits almost similar to a
bank deposit book.
A duplicate envelope is held by the
postmaster in which is deposited the
, duplicate of the certificate. On this
, duplicate envelope is written the occu.
patton, address, residence, birthplace
age, date of birth, race and color, ia
theirs and mothers name of the de
positor.
Any deposits made by married
woman or a minor are subject to the
depositor's own control and no de
posts are subject to any legal pro
| ceedings.
The only way to find out the name
of a depositor in the postal savings
bank" says Mr.. Hays. will be to find
| it out from the depositor himself"
Any depositor may, under certain
conditions, convert the whole or any
part of his deposits in sums Of $40
! $50, $50, 800 or up to and including
( $500, into United States coupons OIL
registered bonds, bearing interest al
the rate Of 21s percent. Such bonds
are to be exempt from all taxes.

Kinkaiders Have Good Crop Outlook

Spalding, Neb, June 29.-Special to
The News: In Greeley. Wheeler and
Garfield counties crop prospects are
above the average. A great deal Of
winter wheat and alfalfa is grown all
along the Cedar valley. Wheat and
rye is being harvested and will make
a fair yield. The first crop of alfalfa
has been cut which was heavy. Corn
never was better at this season of the
year. Some pieces of oats have been
damaged by the recent spell of dry
hot weather but the rains of the past
few days have been of ineStimable
value to all kinds of growing crops
and should the present cool weather
continue for a few days and with a
reasonable amount of rain oats would
yet make fair crop in this locality.
In the sand hills everything is in a
fourishing condition. Grass and pas
lures are excellent. Stock is in good
shape and the Kinkaid homesteaders
are prosperous and contented.
