"Getting Ahead of the Lord"

Under the direction and super
vision of the College of Agriculture
Herbert Taylor of the Joplin district
and Ralph Butler, the sales man and
manager for the Dupont people, says
the Republican-Sentinel, came to
Lamar Saturday afternoon and gave a
demonstration out at the Beamer
farm at a point just south Of the city
limits. The state directed the work
and the Dupont people paid the bills.
The plot Of ground selected lies
directly south Of the Akers home and
it is look $50 feet. There are 1853
holes in the ground made by the shots.
The holes are little over four feet
deep and the earth is made loose for
many feet around. The shots create
a basin in which the water gathers
and this holds the moisture during
the hot dry months. The holes are
twelve feet apart.
The ground is to be planted in corn
and an equal amount adjoining which
was left in its natural condition will
be planted in corn also. Both strips
are to receive the same care and cul-
tivation and in the end it will be
thoroughly demonstrated that the
shot ground will produce from half
to four-fifths more than the other that
was left as nature placed it.

WILSON'S EFFORTS
TO DOWN WILEY
Facts Are Brought Out in
the Congressional In
vestigation.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. THE &C
tivity of Geo. P. McCabe, solicitor OF
the agricultural department, in trying
to uphold the famous anti Wiley BEN
zoate of soda decision by the Remsen
board and secretary Wilson. was
probed today before the house commit
tee On agricultural expenditures.
Mr.. McCabe went through another
grilling cross-examination as to MS eX-
ercise of power in that department
Mr. McCabe admitted that before the
national convention of state food and
dairy inspectors at Denver in IsOS. ne
had on an official trip through several
states, interviewed every man L couIo
get at, and told him to come to Denver
and uphold the departments ruling.
This campaign to secure an endorse
ment Of the anti Wiley ruling from the
national gathering, Mr.. McCabe SAID,
was fully justified because the manu-
facturers who did not use benzoate OF
soda ntheir foods, were making an ad-
vertising campaign and were trying to
gain notoriety by opposing secretary
Wilson and the Remsen board.
A letter written by Mr.. McCabe to
DR.. Wiley, in September, 1910, chal-
longing the latter's statements that
there were $4,000 cure alls" and patent
medicines on the market was intro
duced Solicitor McCabe admitted that
he had censured DR.. Hillyer, chemist

up legal definition i nthe congress

ARIZONA POSTAL BANKS
LEADING IN DEPOSITS

given above If the other states only
patronized the government banks In
the same proposition as the New Next
can there would only be 500 deposit
tors instead of 11,756. Or If the II,
756 depositors over the United States
had only averaged as much per man
as the New Mexico depositors, there
would only be s235,120 on deposit In
stead OF almost 100000
The postoffice department. mas now
started opening banks in the first class
offices. In general, the size of the
foreign money order burness In first
class postoffice is one Of the impor-
tant things considered in naming new
banks. The postal bank is designed
to attract two class Of depositOrs more
than others. First, the foreign born
wage Garner. who. because Of unfa-
miliarity with the United States bank
ing system lacks confidence in the ma
tional banks, and draws his money
order every month in favor of the folks
in the old country. Second. the man
who, although native born. still mas a
distrust of banks in general unless
Uncle Sam!is back Of them. Such Is
the man who boards his earnings and
prefers the buried treasure idea to
depositing in a bank. That this class
is thawing out is proved by the rat
eaten bills and moldy silver that the
postal banks in different parts of the
country are taking in and sending to
the postOffice department as cur1osr-
ties. The national and state banks
have not offered the least opposition
to the government entering the bank
ing business, and are becoming more
and more in favor OF it is time pro-
crosses They realize that the postal
savings banks gets class of depositors
they could not get and also caters to a
class of small depositors which some of
the banks do not wish to handle. Fur
thermore the money as it Is accumu-
lated by the postmaster in any given
postal bank is deposited IN a national
bank in the same town and thus gets
into circulation.

Springs has just been designated as the

J of respect to the memory of the man
Monday morning.
The funeral service was held from

man developed. The service was brief
and was attended by the family and
the friends Of Col. Greene.

His death was a blow to Cananea,
as every person here realizes what an
important factor he has been in the
destinies of the city. Since he discov-

he has made this his home, only leaving
IT when away at short periods on busi-
ness missions
During the past year he has been
in rather poor health but this did not
detain him from paying personal at
tention to his many business enter
prises.
He was a great lover of horses and
always had a stable filled with blooded
animals, and it was this righteousness
to horses that cost him his life, for
the team that ran away with him on
Monday was a blooded pair and high
strung.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 7.-Arizona
is a star performer in the lists OF the
new postal savings banks. Globe and
Bisbee rank among the leaders in the
first and second lists established.
On July 1, when a new fiscal year
opened, in the six postal savings banks
in Arizona there were $50 depositors,
who had in the postal banks $55,3O6, or
about s10055 per man. The department.
recently gave out the statement that
at the close Of the fiscal year, June
81, there were 11,756 open accounts in
the banks open at that time and that
the average amount of each deposltor
was s57.57. From this it will be seen
that Arizona depositors in the govern
ment banks average almost twice as
much as the postal bank depositor over
the whole country. In other words II
every state in the union patronized the
uostal banks like Arizona has there
would now be over $4,000 depositors
and over s2.500,00O on deposit. Or If
every depositor in the United States
averaged as much in bank as do the
Arizona patrons of the banks, there
would be over $1,175.oO0 on deposit.
Official figures state that there was
on deposit in the postal savings banks
of the United States at the close OF
the fiscal year s676,774. OF this amount
1886 $40 represents the amount deposit
ed in six months in the first As banks
opened. The balance was deposited in
the 40 offices established May 1 and
the 800 offices opened during June.
Arizona is represented by Globe. Bis
bee, Clifton, Douglas, Prescott and
Yuma, established previous to July l,
and Flagstaff, Phoenix and Tucson,
authorized during July and open for
business during the present month.

In New Mexico, although that terri
tory had eight banks in operation in
