Machine Opposes.

There seems to BE- no doubt about
the oppostt on OF the Democratic
state machine. headed by the two
United States senators from this
stare. to a primary election law,
notwithstanding the fact that its
party stands pledged for the enact
ment OF such a law. Particularly,
have the Charleston Gazette and the
Fairmont T mes. mouthp eces OF the
machine, made every conceivable
charge to prevent the legislature in
extra session from passing primary
rbfll. First, they tired to fr ghten
the members of the legislature into
believing that Governor Glasscock
was in pact with the virginia
creditors and that that was to GOV
ern him in arriving at conclusion
whether to call the extra session.
He called 1t but he made no allpsion
to the old debt, and, thereby, was 1t
clearly shown that those newspa-
pers in particular had merely
trumped up that story for political
eRect and especially to have the
bearing on the legislators as pre-
viously stated. The scare fell with
a heavy. dull thud.
Foi,ed IN that, they are now re-
sorting to the illogical cry that ring
rule is sought by Republicans who
favor the enactment OF primary
election law. In this particular,

POSTAL Savings BANK
SLOWLY GROWING
Every Week Sees New De-
pOSitOrS In Americas

Between twenty-five and thirty
Americas folks are now depositors
with Uncle Sam. Altogether they have
placed in his hands about $3.50. EV-
cry week sees some new deposits be-
gun and by the end of the year it is
quite probable that the present num-
her will be doubled or trebled and
the deposits considerably swollen.
The money taken in by Postmaster
Mitchell under the Postal Savings
Bank. regulations is deposited with the
Bank OF Commerce. The bank pays
the government two and half per
cent. interest, while the government
paws the depositors two per cent, the
other half of one per cent going to-
ward meeting Uncle Sans expense
account in the operation of this say
ings system.
Children from ten years of age up
to elderly men and women are repre-
scented in the list of depositors. III
that is necessary to do to begin depos-
ting is to take ten cents, go to the
Ipostofice and buy deposit card. On
this card there is a ten cent stamp
printed, which represents the initial
investment. There are vacant spaces
for nine other stamps. Every time
ten cents is in hand the holder can
so to the postoftice, buy stamp for
the dime and affiX it to the card. When
the card is filed out the postoffice VIII
issue a certificate of deposit for dol
lar for it. The system is simplicity it
self Even a child can understand
it.
The savings habit is a good thing
for parents to instill into their chill
dren. The postal savings bank sy5-
TEN is one way of doing. Another
way is to start deposit in any OF the
local savings banks with a dollar for
child and encourage it to save and
deposit it's money there. The savings
banks, of course, pay a much heavier
rate of interests than the postal bank
does. It's merely matter of when
system is preferred.

CLERK ON SALARY BUYS

Chicago, August 31.-Lucius A.

fellow" around the leading cafes III
Chicago, is under arrest in Dubuque,
Iowa, on a charge of embezzlement

Roofing Company, of this city, for
which concern he was cashier.
His employers allege that an EXAM

a year he showed up one morning n
an automobile" said John Logan, vice
president of the company last night.
We knew he did not earn enough
money to buy one and asked him
where he got it. He said it belonged
to a friend who could not drive we'll.
He explained that he drove the friend
around in the evening and the friend
gave him the privilege of using the
car during the day. We believed him.

some FAIRY TALES
OF OLD JAPAN
Will Be Told to Children This
Afternoon

Fairy Tales of Old Japan" will de-
light the children who gather at the
library at o'clock this afternoon.
Mrs. Taylor, the librarian, will tell N
her entertaining way some of the
classics that have delighted the chill
dren of the "Flowery Kingdom" for
generations, stories that one mother
after another through centuries has
told to the little tots who have lived
in the land of the Mikado.
Four of these stories will be told
to the little boys and girls of Ameri-
Gus this afternoon. They have been
selected so as to give variety to the
program, and each has special charms
of it's own. While thoroughly as de-
lightful as the tales of Hans Chris
tian Anderson or the noted Grimm
they have a flavor that comes from the
comparatively unknown people who
originated them.
This afternoon opens the story-tell>
ing season. Every Friday afternoon
hereafter there will be an hour Civ
en- up to the children at which the IL
brarian or some one else skilled in
entertaining will take them far away
from Americas into the lands of ro-
romance and adventure or into the
land of fairies that lies all about us yet
is seen only by those who have the
eyes to see. All the children will be
heartily welcomed.
