follows:
Age Limit to Depositors.
Uudersthe terms of the act de-
POSTS may be made by any per-
son OF the age of ten years or ov-
er, and by a married woman.
Deposits may be made by chill
dren of the proper age in their
own home and free from any con-
troll or interference by parents,
and the same is equally true of a
married woman, whose account
shall be free from any control or
interference by her husband.
The law expressly forbids any
person from having more than
one account in his or her own
right, and any violation of the
spirit of this provision will SUBJ
'ject the offender or the transgres-
sor to penalty.
Corporations, Societies, Etc.
Certificates of deposit will be
issued in various denominations
running from $1.OO to 800.
They will be issued in duplicate,
the original going to the de-
position and the duplicate to the
files of the depository. The du-
plicate must bear the name of
the depositor, who is expected to
carefully scruninlze it before
signing to see that it is drawn
for the proper amount.
Limitations as to Deposits.
At least one dollar, or a larger
amount in multiples thereof,
must be deposited before an ac-
count can be opened. but no one
will be permitted to deposit more
than 500 in any one calendar
The balance to the
credit of any one person shall
never be allowed to exceed $500
exclusive of accumulated inter-
est.
In order that smaller amounts
may be accumulated for deposit
any person may purchase for ten
cents from any depository Office a
a postal savings bank card to
which may be attached specially |
prepared adhesive stamps, which
have been especially designed for
the purpose and are known as
:" postal savings stamps" and
when the stamps so attached
amount to one dollar, including
the recent postal savings card,
The same may be presented as
deposit for opening an account.
This permission has been grant

poor and teach school children

any part of his account
lie must present certificates equal

md the surrendered certificates
must have been endorsed on the
Jack and the signature must cor
espond with that on the filed du-

Interest.

Interest at the rate of ? per
cent. per anuum will be allowed
on all deposits, but interest only
begins to run from the first bust
ness day of the month so that
deposits made after such time in
any one month cannot begin to
draw interest until the first day
of the next succeeding month. In
order that the most simple mind
ed may clearly understand the
amount of interest due them at
the end of one year or a given
number of years, a table has
been printed on the back of each
certificate showing in simple
form the amount of interest that
will accrue annually.
Bond Conversion.
One of the most attractive
features of the system, of which
advantage will be taken by many,
is the privilege that will be
granted to depositors to convert
their funds, after they have been
on deposit given time, into
government bonds. These bonds
will be issued in small denomina-
tions of $40, $40, 500, 500, and
larger denomination of $500, and
will bear interest at the rate of
? IL per cent. per annum. They
will be both registered and cou-
pom bonds. Postmasters will be
supplied with blank forms on
which depositors can make the
necessary application for bonds.
Depositors will be restricted in |
their operations to one particu-
lar Office, where the one account
to which they are entitled must
be kept. If for any reason they
wish to open an account at an
other Office in the same city they |
may do SO by closing out their
account at the first Office and
starting an entirely new transac-
ton in the second office.

VETERANS RAPIDLY
PASSING AWAY
WILL BE BUT FEW YEARS UNTIL
THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR
CONFEDERATE PENSION MONEY

Houston, Texas, Dec. AT the rate
the Confederate veterans and pension
ers are dying throughout the state, it
will not be many years before there
will be no more need for an appropria-
lin for Confederate pensions. Accord
iug to the manner OF determining the
deaths by the department, there has
been an average of between 200 and
900 deaths among the veterans during
each three months. For the present
quarter, however, the number o!
deaths has reached 100 or more.
Several weeks before the warrants
are issued the department sends out
an affidavit to be made by the pen
sioner, and there have been upward OF
10000 sent in within that period, but
there are a little over 700 affidavits
that have not been returned executed
as required by law. 1t is true there
are usually a number of new appli
cants. but these appear to be confined
almost exclusively to the widows oi
INDECENT veterans, who under the pen
sion law as amended, are entitled to
pensions.

hearing on Senator owens bill pro
yidng for the sale of the surface of
the segregated coal and asphalt lands
in Oklahoma, which was to have been
granted today by the committee on
Indian affairs will conduct its hearing
tomorrow on the house bill and Gov.
Locke of the ChoGtaw nation and Pat
Hurley, both opponents of the meas
ure in its present form are expected
to appear. Both oppose the sale OF
the surface without the disposal OF
the mineral rights, but as this has
been a stumbling block for several
years to the sale of the lands, it is
expected their protest will be over.
