oLD SOLDIERS PRACTICE
DOCTRINE OF RECIPROCITY
Hot Springs, 8. D., Jan. 6.-Figures
from Washington show the remarkable
1act that the business of the local pos
TAI savings bank, although in a CITY OF
less than 5000 population. amounts 10
one-Iourth OF the total amount of the
postal savings business in the entire
state. None of the larger cities Of the
state do a business that approaches this
Ioffice. H#e .t
The reason for this condition 10 +bo+
1.-THE old soldiers believe in reciprocity.
This being the location Of the state
ISold1ersh home, as well as the govern
ment's big sanatorium. which cares for
about 435 veterans, about 700 old SOL
ulers receive pension checks here ev-
cry quarter. Since the establishment
Of h postal savings bank a large per
lcent of these have made use of it. Civ
ing as their reason that as their money
comes from the government. it is only
fair that they let the government take
rare of it for them. The first wear Of
at this office showed total deposits
A~ggregating more than $4,000. In
spite of this the local banks show in
creased deposits the past year.
AS veterans at the national sana-
torium are admitted only for treat
ment they are most all transient, and
the postal savings bank meets their
requirements as they can draw their
money readily at any time. Before
postal savings became a factor it was
the custom of many Of the patients to
hand their funds into the care of the
governor of the sanatorium, and he han
! his custody sums varying from $4,000
Ito $4,000. This money now all goes
Ito the postal savings.
tFlvE CENTS PENALTY FOR
USE OF PROFANE SPEECH
Rec Heights. S. D., Jan. 6.-one Of
1.-The most unique clubs ever organized
I'm the state has just been formed here
with many male residents Of Rec
Heights as members. 1t will be known
as the Anti-Profane Language leapl,e.
and as an aid TO the memory Of the
members a I'll is provided for those
Iwho forget themselves of S cents per
euss. The money thu collected viii
be sent to the Children's home at Sioux
Pals. The fund is expected to grow
lrapidly until some Of the more profane
members become accustomed to reiiev-
Ing their feelings in some other man
liner.
