.CLOvERPORT POSTAL
SAVINGS BANK
will Be Opened Monday, Nov.
ember 6. Save Your Dimes
And Uncle Sam Will Take
Care OF Them. No Taxes
Have To Be Paid. Two Per
Cent Interest Given
METHOD SIMPLE AND SAFE

The post -otlice is already the most
popular place in the town and will have
another attraction added to it Monday
November 6, when the Postal Savings
Bank will be opened.
The best thing about putting your
money in Uncle Sans bank is you don't
have to pay taxes. You get two per
cent interest if you keep your money
in the postal bank for year. If you
draw your money out before the end
of twelve months. you loose your inter-
est.
The system is simple. You can
begin with a dime or dollar. Buy a
card for ten cents and every time you
have a dime to save, buy a stamp and
when you will have bought nine stamps
you get a dollar certificate. a child
can understand Uncle Sans banking
methods and it will, no doubt, prove
profitable for the children as we'll as
convenient for grown folks.
The Postal Savings Bank means
more work, but no more salary for
postmaster Oelze, however he seems
to be pleased with the idea of being
made a bank cashier for the U. S.
Government.

Keeping The Dollars At Home.

Ten years ago Farmer put his in
itials on a Dollar Bill. The next day
he went to the nearest town and spent
it with Merchant. Before the year
was out he got the Dollar Bill back.
-Four times in six years the Dollar
came back to him for Produce, and
three times he heard OF it in the pock-
cts of his Neighbors. The last time he
got 1t back was four years ago. He
sent it to Retail Mail Order House.
He has never seen that Dollar since,
nor never will. That Dollar will never
pay any more school or Road Tax for
hun, will not build or brighten any of
the Homes of the Community. He sent
it entirely out of the circle of useful
ness to himself and his neighbors.

DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE HERE
E. J. McDermott Speaks To
Large Audience In Clover
port Last tuesday Might
Makes A Graceful Speech,
Full OF Facts And Advice
For Both Young And Old
Voters.
MANY WOMEN PRESENT

just like playing blindfold to vote for
a man you have never seen and the
Democratic voters Of Cloverport had
the handkerchief taken off their eyes
last Tuesday night when Mr.. E. J Nc.
Dermott, Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, spoke to them in
this CITY. His speech was like a big
basket of fruit and he handed out some
pieces that were both good for Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. He explained
what it meant to vote and the who
does not vote one way or the other
doesn't know how to appreciate his OPP
portunity. A man cannot fully appre-
ciate his eyes until he has lost his eye
sight and a voter cannot understand
what suffrage means to him until he
has lost his vote. He went on to state
that a man should think more about
the matter of voting, study the candid
ates, the platform, and then vote.
Mr. McDermott had a good deal to
say of O'Rear. He spoke of elm high
ly in a personal way, but made it plain
he did not like O'Rear's way in many
things. He said that O'Reai reminded
him Of cook a Bardstown friend of
his had on3e who stole some rabbits
The cook heard that the lady of the
house had been told that she had stole
steak and tried to straighten up the
matter with her. "Miss Thompson"
said the cook, "You know me didn't
steal your steak" Mrs. Thompson an
swered, Betty you know you did steal
those rabbits" well, Miss Thomp7

tend to discuss rabbits with you He
said o Rear would discuss anything but
the real thing.

that the proposed new road will run

work hardship on him, I'm that he
would lose eighteen feet of land

road. After considerable discussion,
tho matter mas adjusted satisfactorily
to both Mr.. Dolby and the township
board.

tension to the new road that is being
built north of Centennial Heights to
tap their farms. Ii was pointed out in

PARCELS POST
TAG NECESSARY
ALL PACKAGES SENT TO POINTS
IN GREAT BRITAIN MUST
HAVE TAG AND PROP
Err POSTAGE.

IL behooves all local residents send
ing parcels to Great Britain via the
parcels post route To see TO II that the
parcels are supplied with sufficient
postage at the rate of twelve cents per
pound and that the parcels post tag is
attached, also the name and address OF
the sender, otherwise the parcel will
never reach it's destination.
Uncle Sam has on disposal i'm all
of its postohices, the regulation par
GELS post tag. and without IL, Nhe par
Gel is withheld. II the tag has been
omitted, but the name and address of
the sender is on the parcel, II will be
shipped back to the consignee so the
mistake can he rectihed.
Inquiry at the local postohlce, shows
that on several occasions, the neces-
sary postage has not been affixed,
and the officials have on several occa-
sions, placed one or more stamps on
at their own expense, rather than
have the package miscarry. AS the
packages, there was no means of coll
Letting the extra postage.
IL no word ever reaches the sender
Of the disposition of the Parcel sent
IL is because the sender forgot the in
violable rule that guides transactions
between the United States and the
postofflces of John Bull, that all mer-
chandlse must have attached to 1t
parcel post manila tag. The amount
of postage required is the same. The
reason for the parcels post tag is not
clear. but an agreement exists between
obeyed and it is strictly adhered to.
All merchandise to any part of the
British isles from this country must
be sent via parcels post Patrons of
the service should remember this.
Generally packages contain the ad-
dress OF the consignee with merely the
initials of the sender in n corner. The
amount of postage stamps affixed Is
all right, but the parcels post tag Is
not there. The package is sent TO the
dead letter office. From there the
consignee is communicated with in
the hope of finding out who might
he sending n parcel to them from Cal
umet Then the latter IL written to-
and he or she is asked to call at the
postofncc and receive back their par
eel and fix it up right II they want i'll
10 land i'm the old home.
Many of the packages contain lit
tie baby's pair of shoes. dolly, lit
tie dress or something for the little
ones at home whom father has left
with mother the while he seeks more
money in the great northwest. And
the parcels never reach home and baby
is not pleased and father is sore and
the postoflice employees get roasted.
However, the number OF packages
and letters sent to the dead letter Of
flee from Calumet every year de-
creases for the reason that anyone
found wanting in properly addressing
letters or parcels is reminded OF the
rule and card sent them recon-
mcnding that they should write their
own address at the top corner OF the
letter or parcel once warned, they
IRE little likely to repeat so that more
and more persons are educated to the |
necessity Of properly addressing their
communications.
