CHRISTMAS TREE. BUSINESS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

cut close as is being done by this COM
pany, and not cropped, there is no
question but that this increased pas
turage Sadded to the quite tidy sum
that the farmer is able to realize for
the trees as we'll as the added amount
of labor and team work he may do,
there is little question as to the actual
benefit which the farmer is able to
derive from this industry.
It is not generally known, however.
to what magnitude this Christmas tree
business has grown. Mr.. LaBar and
sons are shipping from Barton this
season, over 80 carloads, and their
total output will reach nearly 200 cars.
The business done from this point
alone will exceed $25, 900. The actual
figure. in money paid to farmers,
ranging from $40 to $500 for their
trees, the labor of cutting andsshauling
and the amount spent for upkeep.
A carload of Christmas trees means
from 500 to 600 bundles so that it
actually represents in money close to
$500 per car, and the trees are shipped
from here to the West during the
earlier part of the season, going to
wholesale dealers exclusively. in Chi
cago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Ohio
cities, later the states of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania aud New York get their
shipments, all of them so timed that
they arrive at just the right time for the
pre- holiday markets and displays. The
LaBar company is not confined to ship
ments from this point but are this sea-
son shipping from Orleans, Coventry.
Greensboro Bend, Lyndonville, Lunen-
burg, Concord and at points on the
Rutland railway, and will do busi-
ness of over $4,000 in these trees
this season. A peculiar freak of the
market is fact that New York
doesn't want the spruce tree but buys
the balsam exclusively, while other
points will not accept the balsam.
Since coming here several weeks ago
Il. Z. LaBar & Sons have maintained
an Office at the Crystal Lake House
and all details of this large business
have been handled at the office here,
and it has been so we'll systemized that
the company knows exactly where each
tree comes from and can adapt special
orders to special men and locations.
Mr.. Labar brought about 100 men with
him who are expert at cutting and
handling the product, and Mr.. LaBar
is willing to leave it wholly to the
farmers from whom he buys the trees,
if he has not done his cutting in a
clean and workmanlike way. A car
load of Christmas trees containing five
or six hundred bundles of them seems
like goodly number, but Mr.. LaBar
has shown us orders for ten carloads
from one company. and number of
orders calling for two or more cars
from single customer.
We are informed that this company
intends coming again to this locality
another season and expect to make
even larger shipments from here next
season. There are several smaller
companies who handle trees but GER
tainly the workmanlike manner in
which these trees are sorted, handled
and bundled shows this company to be
expert in this line of work.

Postal Savings Deposits Increase.

The war in Europe is proving big |
boon to postal savings in this country. |
From the very day hostilities opened
across the seas postal savings receipts |
began to increase by leaps and bounds
and Withdrawals fell off, result quite
contrary to the predictions of many
well informed persons who, in their
imagination saw lines of feverish de-
positors at post-office pay windows
anxious to again return their savings
to the bootleg and body.belt deposito-
ries whence they came before intrust-
ed to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters
failed to reckon on the absolute con-
fidence of the American citizen, re-
CARELESS of the flag that first met his
eyes. IN the ability and purpose of the
government to carry out its obligations,
not only among the nations of the
earth but with the humblest citizen
of our land.
Two important results have followed
thousands of people. largely of foreign
birth, accustomed to send their savings
abroad, are now patrons of our postal
savings system and enormous sums of
actual cash have been released for
commercial uses among our own land
people at time when the need for
CFCIy dSdlidUlC Is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in the
United States has been steady and
healthy and the system has filled an
important gap between the tin-can de-
pository and the factory paymaster.
On July l, when affairs were running
smoothly here and abroad and the
transmission Of money across the At
lantlc was safe and expeditions, there
was approximately $43, 900, 600 of postal
savings standing to the credit of about
388. 900 depositors. Since then over
$40, 900, 900, in deposits have been add
ed and the number of depositOrsa has
increased enormously. This unprece-
denied gain is more striking when it is
considered that the net gain in the
! last three months is larger than the
gain for the entire fiscal year 1914.
Scores of Offices have done more postal
savings business since the war has
been going on than was done by them
during the previous existence of the
service. The increases are confined to
no special localities, but have been
felt in every nook and corner of the
country. New ork city alone made a
gain in September of more than mill
ion. while Brooklyn showed relative
~ big increase More than 1000 new
accounts were opened during the peri
cd, bringing the number of depositors
in that city up to over 21,000.
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
! duties of the system. but has brought
up many new and interesting problems
which have called for the careful per-
sonal consideration of Postmaster
General Burleson and Governor Dock
cry, Third Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral. But their task has been light
ened somewhat by the promptness of
depository banks in furnishing addi-
tional security to meet the abnormal
deposits. A number of the very larg-
est banks in the country, which have
heretofore declined to qualify as de-
positories for postal. savings funds, are
now among the eager applicants for
them.

Believing that tie Mothers
Day" movement in the churches of
the country is most excellent
movement, but that it needs to be
supplemented by a similar recogni-
ton of the fathers, Rev. Leitch has
announced that on next Sunday
night he will present a special dis
course on the theme, Whats the
Matter With Father?' All are in
vited to attend, and see just what
is the matter with father-and why
so many fathers are found else

they should be.

public schools, left Wednesday after
noon for their home in the East. They
will go by way of Salt Lake, and then
on to spend the summer at home. Miss
Storrs goes to Nebraska and Miss Will

Miss Williams taught the intermedi-
ate grade during the past year, with
exceptional success. 1t was the hope
of the school board and of the patrons,
that she would consider unemployment
here, but she finally decided to not do
so. She will take up other college work

Beautiful Pictures to Be Shown
All Through the Year.

The first entertainment to be giver
1 by Rev. Leitch and R. j. Lennon
with their stereopticon, was at the
church, Tuesday night, when series
of 72 colored slides were shown, de-
picting the life of Christ. The machine
worked very well indeed, and Rev.
Leitch as lecturer is sure to please
A series of colored slides were also
shown to illustrate the song, 1.-The
Holy City," which was sung by Rev.
Leitch. A good audience was in at
tendance. A collection was taken at
the close to defray the cost of the
slides.
The next program will be next Tues
day night, when 1.-THE Passion play of
Oberammergau" will be shown in Sc
ries of beautiful slides. An admission
of 20 cents will have to be charged, to
pay the expenses. 1t promises to be
very exceptionally interesting evening,
and all who can do so should attend
A week later will be given similar
set from the Panama Canal, showing
most graphically the work that is be-
ing done on the great project.
Once every two weeks, or once every
week, will be given a series of Tissot's
Bible pictures, eleven eve
nings in all, with 40 pictures each eve
ming These will be of very great val
ue, and all should attend to see them.
Rev. Leitch and Mr. Lennon bought
the stereopticon, which is very fine
instrument, for the purpose of giving a
lot of pleasure to the community at
minimum of cost-just the expense of
the service. 1t is most worthy idea,
