ASSISTANT POSTMASTERS
MAY LOSE THEIR JOBS


Assistant postmasters are to be de-
posed and many useless s%uperinten-
denotes abolished in an attempt by the
Wilson administration to weed out
%sinecures and place the postal service
of the country on q business basis. H.
q. Hurley, postmaster of Asbury Park
and acting-president of the New Jersey
Association of Presidential Postmast-
ers, told that body In an authorized
statement last Saturday at the Atlantic
City Convention. An administration
plan for the retirement of wornout
veterans who are collecting maxi
mum salaries for services they cannot
perform efficiently may be included in
the sweeping reforms contemplated.
Actiug-Presiden Hurley, speaking
of "Ov yer Organization y said the Govern
ment was paying out hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars annually for offices
that might be abolished without work.
ing the slightest detriment to the SER
vice. 1t is probable that the office of
cashier will be substituted for that of
assistant postmaster, and that a busi-
ness manager with broad supervisory
powers will take the place Of superin-
tendents ofclerks and carriers and other
more or less needless officials who do
very little real work.
With the assistant postmasters re-
moved or reduced to the ranks, post
masters will have to go to work, the
speaker said. In thousands of cases,
the acting-president, who repeatedly
quoted Postmaster General Burleson,
intimated that postmastership has been
regarded solely a. a political reward.
He cited as an instance a New Jersey
postmaster who, upon retiring after IL
years of service at $500 per annum,
was unable to tell his successor the
duties Of the Office, the work having
been performed by his assistant. The
Jersey postal chiefs received in silence
the stunning information that the pres
ent system is regarded as wasteful in
many respects, and that the Wilson
administration. VIII endeavor to get
more and better service at a tremen-
dous saving for the country. Few
postoffices are conducted, 60 far as econ
omy Of management goes, the Asbury
Park postmaster said, as they would
be conducted under private manage
ment.-Public Ledger.

An Amusing Game.

This game is played by all sitting in
a circle while me of the number tells
a story. After a few words or a SEN
tence he makes a pause, when bis
neighbor on the right must repeat the
sentence to his right hand neighbor,
who passes 1t to the next until it has
gone quickly around the circle to the
relator, who proceeds with the next
words of his story, and SO on. each
sentence as he speaks 1t being caught
up and repeated fromon to another
till it ONE back to him. The story
always ends with the words "the last
one up must pay" when every one
must spring from his seat. Any one
who fails to rise at the proper moment
must pay a forfeit. The game will be
more easily understood from the fol-
lowing example:
The story teller says to his right
hand neighbor, Here is an engraving
at this pause, and those following,
the neighbor must repeat the words to
her neighbor and she to the next until
it comes around to the relator, who re-
sumes. (which represents a young lady
arrested by three robbers-the first
detains her-the second wishes to stab
her-but the third, seeing the police
coming, cries, The last one up must
payr"
At this cry all the company rise, ex-
cept those who forget or do not know
the game, and these must pay a for
felt, as also must those who fail to re-
peat the interrupted sentences cor
rectly.

HENDERSON BANK
SOLID INSTITUTION

Elsewhere on this page will be
found the report of conditions OF the
Henderson Banking company of Elko.
1t shows the bank to be enjoying a
bigger business than ever before, and
to be one of the most substantial. NOT
only in Nevada, but In the entire west.
1t will be seen that it has on deposit
over two million dollars.
The Henderson Bank has long been
recognized as one of the safest, most
substantial, and best managed insti-
tutions of its kind in Nevada. In the
money panic of 1897 it was the one
bank in the state that did not have
TO take advantage of holidays declared
by the governor, or resort to cash
lers certificates. And never was a de-
positor denied the right to draw any
part or all of the money he had on
deposit, whether it was a hundred dol
lars or a hundred thousand.
John Henderson, president of the
bank, is recognized as one of the most
thoroughly posted men on money mat
tiers and things generally relating to
the banking business in the west, and
this coupled with his conservative
business methods have made the Hen
derson Bank what it is, an institution
commanding the confidence and re-
spect OF everyone.
perusal of the statement will be
interesting, no only to patrons of the
bank, but to the public generally.
