CHILDREN BUYING
STAMP CARDS
TO SECURE A POSTAL SAVINGS
CERTIFICATE AT JAMES
TOWN OFFICE.

jamestown, N. D.. July 1S.-The
new postal savings bank plan seems to
be working successfully according to
the indications at the local postoffice
The plan is put into effect largely for
the purpose Of encouraging thrift and
savings by younger people, and chill
dren, as well as their elders. The sale
OF the stamp cards is increasing and
children are getting interested in this
manner of saving their dimes. BY in
vesting 10 cents in stamp card and
then placing nine other savings stamps
each costing 10 cents, a postal certif-
cate is issued to each depositor for 81.
It Is the desire of the department
to encourage savings that will remain
for at least one year, which is the
only condition that interest will be
allowed by the government. No de-
post withdrawn in less than a year
will be allowed interest. The inter
est rate is per cent per annum. Not
over $500 can be deposited by any one
person at one time, and not over 500
by any one person in any month. ANY
person unable to make a deposit per-
sonally can have same done by a rep
resentative or by mail. No child un-
der 10 years of age can become a
deposition. A married woman in her
own name may deposit money, and
the same will be free from any inter
ference or control by her husband.
Every depositor must be a patron
of the postoft1ce. Deposits can be ac-
cepted from individuals anly and not
In the name of any corporation, firm or
partnership. There is no charge for
the opening of an account or with
drawal of money deposited. No person
connected with the postoffice is al
lowed to disclose the name of any de-
positor or give any information con-
corning their account except to the
depositor himself. Certificates are
issued In denominations of 81, 81, SIS.
$40, $40, $50 and 800 each, bearing
the name of the depositor, the number
of the account, date, name of deposit
tory office and date on which interest
begins. A duplicate is made with each
certificate, which the depositor signs
and which the postmaster retains
Savings certificates cannot be trans
ferred or negotiated. In case a cer-
tificate Is lost or destroyed, If the
postmaster deems proper a new GER
tificate will be issued. Postmasters
are not allowed to receive savings GER
tihcates for safe keeping. A depositor
may withdraw his savings at any time
In whole or In part. In case of death
Of depositor the amount to his credit
viii be paid to the executor or admin
istrator Of his estate, and in the alb
sence Of such the postmaster may pay
the deposit to the person entitled to
receive 1t. A depositor may convert
his savings, in certain amounts into
United States registered or coupon
bonds, bearing interest at the rate Of
"a per cent per annum.

CLAY COUNTY WAS
rain SOAKED TODAY
ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL FOR BIG
POTATO FIELDs-AUTHoRITIEs
ESTIMATE TOTAL YIELD WILL
BE CONSIDERABLY OVER 1,OoO,-
600 BUSHELS.

Grain. corn and potato fields in Clay
county were well soaked with gentle
rains today and It was the kind Of pre-
cipitation which means great deal
of good and it has come at time when
IL win mean a marked increase in
Yields of fast maturing crops.
Less than week ago high au-
thority on potato conditions made the
statement that everything was salts
factory but IL there should come one or
two nice rains within week 1t would
mean the addition of 100000 bushels
of potatoes to the total output OF Clay
county and make 1t 100000 bushels
this year and. perhaps more. Potato
men say the tubers have been prac-
tically standing still for the past ten
davs or two weeks waiting for just
such moisture as today has supplied.
The potatoes however have been Well
sustained by the splendid growth Of
roots which is feature in the potato
fields this year and augurs well for
the prospective big yields this year
and good quality.
Today's soaking also means increases
in the yields Of grain and corn and
farmers phoned to were quick to allude
to the beneficial results from the
moisture In the way OF. yields.
Reports were received from the
Barnes farm, E. G. Schroeder, Victor
Johnson at Oakport, T. H. Skrei, John
Wilson Of Morken, Comstock, Wolver-
ton, Breckenridge and Sabin. The
weather forecast today is also en-
couraging, showers and cooler for the
next twenty-four hours which is much
better to follow rains than a period
of torrid weather.

Moorhead Department
POTATO CORN SHOW
Suggestions Made Today That One BE
Held IN Moorhead in the FalI--5e-
Iieved to Be Practical.

Five of Moorhead's live wires were
discussing the boosting OF cities and
communities in the Office OF one OF
them, this morning, and the happy
knack the men of some cities have
of taking advantage of the opportuni-
ties to do things. One Of the quin-
tette suggested, ''that there was an
opportunity right now for the Moor
head Commercial club and the Clay
County Potato Growers association to
launch an enterprise which would do
things. Right away quick take up
the subject and start things rolling OF
holding a corn and potato show in
Moorhead, say some time in September,
or early In October There is no lack
OF facilities for the display OF ex-
hibits and with proper arrangement
there would be no difficulty in the
matter Of premiums, as the expenses
would not be great, principally In the
advertising of the enterprise, a mere
trifie for the two bodies named The
benefits arising out of such an en-
terprise for the city Of Moorhead and
the county Of Clay would be meal
culable, according to those assembled.

N. D. CLIMATE
HAS NOT CHANGED
WILLIS MOORE, CHIEF OF UNITED
STATES WEATHER BUREAU
SAYS CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
ARE NOT AFFECTED BY CIVIL.
ZATloN IN THE LEAST.

The popular idea that the climate Of
this part of the country has changed
within the last twenty five or thirty
five years was shattered when Mr.,
Moore, chief of the U. S. weather bur-
eau, in an interview this afternoon,
stated that the coming of civilization
had absolutely nothing to do with the
climate, and that it did not effect it
in any way.
Il would advise the people of this
section of the country not to invest a
dollar in land with the idea that eli
matte conditions had changed" said
Mr.. Moore this afternoon. call this
talk about the coming Of civilization
with railroads. telegraphs and fences
which effect the electrical currents Of
the air is nothing but foolishness."
continued Mr.. Moore.
"The rainfall of a section Of the
country is not controlled by anything
that man can do. The fact that men
come into new region and succeed
in raising crop is due to the fact that
the hard upper crust Of the soil is
broken up and the same amount of
moisture that usually falls does more
good than before the land was cult
waited"
Mr.. Moore spoke at the Devils Lake
Chautauqua Sunday and in speaking
of his visit in that city he said. II
was out on the lake for several hours
yesterday and as you know the shore
line has receded about six miles from
its original bed. When asked tina
reason Of this, / pointed to a long line
Of elevators and replied that there was
their shore line. 1t took some time
before the party understood what 7
meant. The fact that the prairie has
been broken up in that vicinity has
caused the moisture that fell to sink
into the ground and produce crops in
stead Of running off the surface ana
making a lake. Consequently the shore
line has receded."
Mr.. Moore left this afternoon for ST.
Paul where he Is to be entertained hv
Archbishop Ireland at a luncheon to-
morrow. He will speak in the after
noon before the Teaching Sisters In
st. Paul. Hhis is Mr.. Moore's first trim
up in this part OF the country and
he expressed himself ais very mucb
pleased with the condition of everv-
thing. An endeavor was made to get
him to speak this evening at the fair
but being such short notice he de-
|clined the invitation.
