put its county infirmary bonds on
the market last week and Colonel
White, prior to departing for his an
nual outing on Long Island, bought
$4,000 worth, just for safe keep
ing.-Kansas City Times
The above is all true, except that
Mr.. White bought the bonds for an
estate, for which he is executor,
and not for himself; and that he is
not starving; and that he has not
gone to Long Island. The rest of
the statement, we believe, is practi-
cally true.

MEX|CO'S POSTAL saw
IAGS BANK OPENS FOR
BUSINESS NEXT MONDAY

George II. Kunkel. postmaster oi
the Mexico Postoffice, has returned
from Hannibal where he attended a
school OF instructions for operating
postal savings banks. The local
postoffice has been allowed one of
these banks and 1t will be open for
business next Monday.
Any one over ten years old can
open an account in the postal saw
lngs bank. When an individual has
accumulated as much as a dollar 1t
begins drawing two per cent interest.
If an individual wishes to start an
account with less than dollar, he
can buy ten cent post card, and, at
intervals, he can buy ten-cent stamps
and stick as many as nine on the
card. When he has accumulated the
nine stamps on the postal, the
whole thing is equal to a dollar.
Five hundred dollars is the limit
OF deposit for an individual. When

In this bank. the depositor may pur-
chase a bond. Though the local
postoffice authorities have not full
control over this part of the bust
ness, the Postmaster can arrange
with the department for the purchase
Of the bond.
Bonds can be purchased, however,
for less amounts. The difference be-
tween keeping money in this bank
on deposit and purchasing a bond
is the rate of interest it draws. The
deposit draws two per cent while the
bond draws two and a half per cent.
