STAuNTON, VA, Oct. 3.--After an
absence OF two years the saloons were
ushered in here yesterday with a
rough crowd from the surrounding
county. who overran the city both
Monday and Tuesday.
Seven barrooms opened their doors
and all did a tremendous business.
There was great deal of drunken
ness and disorder, but the police had
holiday orders only to arrest
drunks when it became necessary and
many We're warned off the streets with
the result that only eight have so far
gotten in the tolls from liquor: two

But has he offered to give up or ac-
tually disgorged any Of the money he
got by extortion, bribery. corruption or
other vicious means? asks the Sac.
ramento Bee.
Has he given any evidence for indiot'
ment aud prosecution Of rich bribers In
San Francisco, or revealed any OF the
many secret things he knows that
would help to purge that city OF cor

and expose such men as Pat Calhoun in

New Registry Stamp Adopted

Aiming at the elimination of the er-
rors that now creep into the registry
department, the Postoffice Department
has adopted new 10 cent stamp for use
on registered packages. The new stamp
is of light blue shade, and of about
the same size as the special delivery
stamps used by the department
Heretofore when package was to be
registered an ordinary 10-cent stamp
was added to the regular postage
and the package registered at the
registry window. Persons unac.
quainted with the postal regulations
merely attached the extra stamp to the
package and dropped it into the receiv-
ing boxes. In this way packages in
tended to go by registered mail were
often overlooked and sent through the
regular mails.
BY the adoption of the new stamp
this feature can be eliminated and the
registry department can be conducted
with a higher rate Of efficiency.

WILL PURCHASE SAVINGS BONDS
Trustees Will Purchase Securities At
Par to Maintain the Standard

Washington, Nov. l7.-In order to
maintain the parity of the postal savings
bonds. the trustees Of the postal savings
banks to-day announced that they
would purchase these securities at par
from persons compelled to relinqulsh
their investment. This action resulted
from the recent report that the market
value of these bonds is only 90.
Postmaster General Hitchcock to-
night said no depositor would endanger
his principal by exchanging his postal
savings deposits for postal savings bonds.
Tue postal savings Act authorizes the
trustees to withdraw at any time 80 per
cent VI postal savings funds on deposit
for investment in United States bonds.
1t was this provision that enabled the
trustees to offer 10 buy the postal savings
bonds, which bear p. per cent interest
"The only basis for the report of an
actual sale Of postal bonds at 92." said
Mr.. Hitchcock. was an offer the other
day by New York broker to purchase
100000 Of the bonds below par, which
was not accepted by the holder"
Mr.. Hitchcock pointed out that the
first issue OF bonds, IS per cent, was in
the registered form, showing that the
purchasers intended to retain them as
permanent investments.

SEEDLESS LEMONS GROWN
Discovery at San Bernsrdino May Mean
Revolution in the Citrus Industry

Discovery at San Bernardino May Near
Revolution in the Citrus Industry
The seedless lemon. which botanical
experts have unsuccessfully labored to
produce for many years, has been dis
covered at San Bernardino, California.
Its discovery has greatly interested fruit
growers throughout the State as a revo.
luton in the lemon industry is expected
to result.
The budwood from which the trees
now bearing the seedless lemons have
been grown came from a sample pro-
vided by the Department of Agriculture
number of years ago. having been
labeled "citron of commerce."
Instead Of citron. however. the trees
are bearing seedless lemons.
The original bud came from Italy,
but according to officials OF the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture a search of the
groves Of the old world failed to reveal
any trees which bear seedless lemons.
Fruit men believe the character of the
fruit was changed through budding.
Twelve trees. all of which grow lem
ons without sign of seed, form
part OF grove owned by l. E. Bush
Government experts have pronounced
them the only seedless lemon trees
known to exist in the entire world.

Statistics gathered by an exper ac
oountant from the books of q promi
nent department store show that
family which has an open account IN
store will spend II per cent more money
than it did before the account was
opened and it paid cash. These figures
allow for 10 per cent of the goods bought
for cash being carried home at time Of
purchase as the statistics we're gathered
from the delivery slips.
This accounts for the fact that from
time to time financially good families
are solicited to open accounts at the
large stores. 1t is not generally known
that every family in each city is rated
by local commercial agency, which
bears the same relation to the city that
Dun or Bradstreet does to the country
at large.
If family leaves one end of the city
aud moves to the opposite end aud
leaves an unpaid grocery bill behind,
that family will be surprised al the dif-
ficulty it will have opening an account
in the new neighborhood.
It's reputation precedes it.
Itit were more generally understood
that every merchant is in constant con-
nection with one central credit bureau
daily asking information and giving the
names OF those who fail to pay him. the
public at large would be more careful
in paying bills. No matter who you
are. your credit is listed and your rat
inc based on your past promptness or
neglect.

WITH THE BUSINESS DOCTOR
hoe Fulkerson Shows Plainly
That 1t Is The met" Result
That Counts

Never mind all those statistics about
the amount Of business you are doing"
said the Business Doctor. II will ad.
init they are interesting in casual sort
OF way. But what | am interested in
knowing is what are you making ont of
1t. It's the net that is interesting in
any business proposition. II the in.
come Of business is $50, 900 year and
the net profit is 10 per cent, or $4,000,
the owner is not as well off as the man
who has an income Of $20,O 900 and is
$4,000 to the good at the end of the
year. He has had more than twice the
amount of worry, work, risk and
trouble aud is not so we'll off as the $40.
600 man.
1.-The man who fixes his gaze on
big volume Of business rather than on
the amount Of net profit is on thin ice
and liable to a plunge that will bring
him up with icicles on his whiskers.
IL you are making 10 per cent net on
your business, just bear in mind that
every dollar you cut off Of your ex.
penses Is added in its entirety to your
act profits, while the amount you add
to your sales increases your profits to
the extent of only 10 per cent of the
whole.
Il came into contaot with a man who
had an investment in his business of
$4,000, and with his big corps of clerks
and heavy expense he was netting less
than 10 per cent on his investment
lu going over his books found he had
no salary charged up for his own ser.
vices as manager. and so asked him
how much he supposed he could earn
outside. He replied he was sure he
could get $50 week. and when | de.
Quoted this $1,000 from his profit, the
net profit on the $4,000 investment
was less than the same sum would earn
II invested in good bonds.
''He called in the auctioueer and
turned that stock into a little less than
$50. 600 cash. He rented a smaller
store, invested $4,000 in the business
aud putthe rest in safe securities, and
at the end Of the year was better off by
$1,000 than he had been the last year
he conducted the big business. This
was his cash advantage-the advantage
in comfort. peace Of mind. freedom
from worry and danger Of a nervous
breakdown were worth ten times that
amount to him.
"He had learned the lessons OF look
ing to the net and ignoring the gross.
"This applies with equal force to the
man on salary. 1t is not question
of what he is making that constitutes
his success-it's question Of what he
is saving. The amount Of money he
has in the savings bank or other in
vestments at the end of the year is
what he has earned. The question Of
how much has come in during the year
is matter of not tho slightest conse-
quence. The gross earnings don't
amount to a picay une when lined up
alongside the net, which is what he
has saved"

NEVADA LAND SCHEME

nth offices in Salt Lake City. AT first
more land was wanted. but the Interior
D, partment engineers reported there
Gas water available only for 10000
acres The Department therefore set
..iae that area. Nothing daunted. the
irrigation company bought from the
STATE or private owners $1,000 acres ad

The matter was called to the attention
NJ Assistant Attorney General Cobb and
Secretary of ;he Interior Fisher. AD
,n,astieation showed that the amount
ot water had not increased and that
there was no, half enongh for 25,000
acres. The Interior officials took the
view that the public could not be per-
mltted to suffer from the promotion
