S36,484 IN POSTAL
SAVINGS IN OLYMPIA
Record of Local Office Far Above
Average-Parcel Post Keeps
Growing Steadily.

With more than 800 active accounts
the postal savings department of the
Olympia postoffice has on deposit $685..
4S4, practically all of which, accord
ing to Postmaster w. T. Cavanaugh
was hidden and kept from circulation
prior to the establishment of the gov.
ernment savings banks.
This amount is considerably above
the average in cities of this size and
has come through steady and not spas
modic growth, Mr.. Cavanaugh says.
The system was inaugurated in the To-
cal postoffice January 8, 1911, and has
induced many people who feared to en-
trust their money to banks and there
fore kept it out of circulation, to place
it in the keeping of the government
for safety.
The largest portion of the accounts
are deposited by wage-earners, and rs
per cent. of them are under 81 years
, of age Loggers from the lumber
camps at Bordeaux and also ranchers
from the neighborhood of Lacey have
been depositing their savings with
this department, the revised regula.
tions permitting any one in Thurston
county to deposit money In the local
postoflce.
Under the present rulings no more
than 500 can be deposited in one
month by any depositor and no more
than $500 can be carried to his credit
at any one time. There is a possibility,
however, that the monthly limit will
be removed entirely and the maximum
limit raised to perhaps $500, Post.

Recommendation to the department.

| More than 600 packages week are
now being received by parcel post al
the local postofflce. for delivery to resi-
dents OF Olympia, while approximately
800 packages week are being mailed
out, the department showing. steady
! growth. The sale of parcel post stamps
is running q little better than $500 q
month. Mr.. Cavanaugh says. and when
it is realized that more than so per
cent of the packages cost less than
cents to mail, some idea Of the number
OF outgoing packages is gained.
When the department was first in
stituted last January special delivery
was barred, but the recent ruling per-
mitting the use Of the special delivery
stamp and the special delivery Of the
mailed article has tended to increase
the departments business.

The Berkeley County Horticultural
Society at its meeting at In

Carnival in this city the latter part
Of October or the first of November.
The date will soon be decided upon.
and then all necessary arrangements
made.
President Alex Clohan, of the so.
ciety, was empowered to name a com
mittee to make arrangements for this
event but he preferred to give the
matter a little thought, and did not
make the selections today, but win
do so at an early date.
1t has been two years since such
carnival was held the city and
the society decided that it would be
wise to revive this movement and
show to the people what kind of fruit
is raised in the county, as well as
advertise to the outside world that
Berkeley county apples have but few
equals and no superiors.
For several years the Apple Carni-
val was an annual event 1t brought
here hundreds Of people who were
anxious to see our fruit and get ac
quainted with conditions, and the re
suits were that many people from a
distance have invested their money
in the industry in the county and
have lent their aid in making Berke
ley county known the world over.
Just as soon as President Clohan
has named the committee on arrange
ments work will be started, and every
thing done to make this event the
