OUR POSTMASTER WAS
Interviewed IN FARGO

The Fargo Courier-News man saw
Postmaster N. c. Lawrence last Satur-
day, and said:
Mr.. Lawrence is about to install free
delivery from his Office and has been
talking with Postmaster Plumley OF this
city in regard to the service. He be-
lieves the people of Dickinson will take
kindly to the new service.
AT first there will be three carriers
employed. said Mr.. Lawrence. 1.-TWO
of these will come from our W neigh
borhoed. while the third will be sent
here from the postoffice at Cincinnati.
Ohio. 1t is nothing unusual for the
department to send men from one town
to another, and the one who will be
sent here has a good deal of experience
and will permanently locate at Dickin-
son.
Our town was ready for the service
a year ago, but we were not prepared
to start until the cold weather set in as
we didn't have the carriers. look for
the service to 60 ahead in good shape
right from the start, Dickinson is going
right along in the matter of growth.
and we are doing a very great amoun of
building this year.. The buildings that
are being put up are of the most sub.
stantial type. In fact, l might say that
Dickinson is booming, at least in the
| building Way.'

pIckIns0N's POSTAL BANK
WILL OPEN on JUNE 1sT

Postmaster N. C. Lawrence returned
the first of the week from Wahpeton
where he was sent last week by Post
master General Hitchcock to look into
the methods of postal bank work. pre-
partory to opening one in Dickinson on
June /. Two special agents were also
present for the conference at Wahpeton
where a postal bank, the first in North
Dakota, has been in operation since the
first of January.
The deposits in this time have reached
about $500 and the total postal bank
deposits for the entire United States are
over $3.50, 900. This is very gratifying
to Postmaster General Hitchcock. who
reasons that the new postal bank plan
will bring a great deal of money cut of
hiding. The experience thus far shows
that the people in mining districts are
the greatest depositors in postal banks.
Dickinson is the third Office named in
North Dakota, the second being Devils
Lake. Williston was named az the
fourth Office in the state the first of the
week. The plan is to name 100 new
offices each week. so that by the first of
June there will be between 200 and 800
postal banks in the country.
For the present there will be no new
clerks at Dickinson on account of the
postal bank. The business will be taken
care of at the money order window, and
any person over ten years of age is
eligible to make deposits. nc m person
being allowed over $500. The sums
must be in wen dollars and will draw
interest al the rate of " per CEN per
year. Of course this will seem like low
rate of interest. but it has some advan-
tages. For instance, a person holding a
certificate of 500, car 60 in any time
during the year and draw say $40. SIS
or $40, and get a new certificate for the
remainder, dating back to the original
deposit, thus getting the benefit of the
interest on the balance left in the postal
bank. Even certificates of $1OO can be
exchanged for government bonds, thus
giving the holder two and one-half per
cent interest. These accounts cannot
be attached and cannot be transferred or
drawn out by any person other than the
individual making the original deposit,
or the legal heirs of such person.
The postmaster has to deposit all
amounts over $40 in some bank desig-
mated by the government and must use
cash in redeeming any certificate. IN
order to be eligible for depository, a
bank must invest in SIS, 900 of govern
ment bonds and pay two and one-half
per cent interest on postal deposits.
This is not especially attractive to banks

ARRANGED around the walls, while tables
in the center carried jars, boxes and
other receptacles filled with preserved
fruits, seeds and other samples of the
productivity of the Northwestern states.
At Cincinnati, on one of those warm,
prematurely ''springy'' days in March,
an interested visitor to the exhibit was
a large negro-serious of countenance,
and intent of purpose. He was looking
at the products of Mother Earth. Many
of the samples reminded him. nc doubt,
of the Sunny South. Suddenly as he
passed along the display ROOM. his eye
lit upon a large jar containing half of
an enormous watermelon. He stopped,
looked long and earnestly, not to say
hungriIy, and then an audible sigh
escaped him.

But the tempting was going on
merrily day after day, for all who
looked al the array of products could
not help being tempted, and that many
of the visitors will respond to the effect
of the exhibits vas indicated by the
hundreds who announced their intention
of migrating this year to the land of
fortune. The estimate OF visitors at
the Cincinnati exhibit during March
was %, 900, and at Indianapolis during
April was Sc, 600.
