'NEWSBOY FIRST
TO MAKE DEPOSIT
HARRY GRlER PLACES PRIZE
MONEY IN CARE OF POSTAL
SAVINGS BANK.

The first depositor in the postal
savings bank in Ottumwa was Master
Harry Grier son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Grier, 222 North Jefferson street, and
his deposit was the latest prize that
lie rs received from the Curtis Pub
fishing Co., for selling the Saturday
Evening Post, a crisp new 81 bill. Be
sides Master Harry there were only
four or five persons present at the
opening of the banking business IN the
postoffice here this morning, although
during the day more persons ayalled
themselves Of the privilege OF banking
their savings with the government.
The lad who was the first to have his
name inscribed on the records OF the
postal savings bank of Ottumwa Is q
IA year old boy who shows his pro-
gressive abilities by converting the
time not used for school hours to sell
ing various publications for the Younk-
in Newsstand and has won several
cash prizes for the sale Of the Post.
He is one of the best newsies on the
staff of the Younkin store and popu-
lar lad, attending the Sacred Heart
school every day, and finding time
enough after school hours to work.
Harry is enthusiastic about his deposit
and states that it was merely a start
which he intends to add to. The
names and amounts deposited by 9TH
er persons were not obtainable at the
postoffice as it is contrary to the rules
to give these but the number OF per
sons who became depositors reached
ten and the total amount deposited
was SITS
Things to Know.
Among the things to be remembered
by the patrons Of Uncle Sans bank
a few are given as follows:
No deposits OF more than 500 may
be deposited at any one time or In
any one month.
No sum Of less than 81 will be ac-
copied as a deposit, but to encourage
the saving Of small amounts, person
may buy saving card for ten cents
and buy savings stamps for ten cents
each, which when nine have been pur-
chased and pasted on the card, 1t will
be accepted as 81 for deposit
The postal savings feature is not
alone available to Ottumwans, but is
extended to patrons Of the office that
do an international business with the
local office This permits such patrons
as come here from Bear Creek, Far
son or other smaller places to buy
money orders to make
a deposit in the savings department.
It is perhaps not generally known that
many people come to Ottumwa to buy
money orders that are
sent to the old countries and de-
posted in the postal savings banks OF
other lands. Postmaster Nimocks
states that this business Is much
larger than people generally imagine,
and comes largely from small nearby
towns, particularly where foreign
labor is employed in any great
No account will be opened by the
new department In trust for another,
and no charge will be made for open
ing an account
A feature about the postal savings
bank is that any person having on de-
posit $50 or more, may apply fifteen
days prior to January / or July l for
government bonds in the sum OF their
deposit. The government bonds draw
2h per cent interest payable semi-an-
nually and the savings deposits pay
annually an interest Of Q per cent.
