Should your asparagus plumosa

circle of table salt upon the earth near

usually sufficient to bring pronounced

There is perhaps no forage crop bet
ter for hogs than alfalfa. This crop is
high i'll protein and mineral matter.
In p~asturing on alfalfa carr should be
taken not to pasture too closely, as
the crop does not seem to be able to
stand heavy foraging. 1t is usually
recommended that for best results it
be pastured so that at least two cut
tings Of hay may be taken off in addi-
ton to that eaten by the hogs.

new and interesting problems
which have called for the careful
personal consideration of Post
master General Burleson and
Governor Dockery, Third Assist
ant Postmaster General. But
their task has been lightened
somewhat by the promptness of
depository banks in furnishing
additional security to meet the
abnormal deposits. A number of
the very largest banks in the
country, which have heretofore
declined to qualify as depositor-
les for postal savings funds, are
now among the eager applicants
for them.
The postal savings business in
Winslow is steadily increasing,
almost doubling the amount OF
depositors of last year. Any in

savings will be gladly given by

when the need for every available
dollar is pres s ng.
The growth of the postal saw
ings in the United States has
heen steady and healthy and the
system has filled an important
gap between the tin-can deposit
ary and the factory paymaster.
On July l, when affairs were run
ming smonthly here and abroad
and the transmission of money
across the Atlantic was safe and
expeditions, there was app oxi-
mately S43, 100000 of postal saw
ings standing to the credit of
about 388, 900 depositors. Since
then over $4,000, 900 of deposits
have been added and the number
Of depositors has increased enor-
mously. This unprecedented gain
is more striking when it is con-
sidered 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 SER
vice. The increases are confined
to no special localities, but have
been felt in every nook and cor
ner of the country. New York
City alone made 3 gain in Sept
ember of more than a million,
while Brooklyn showed a rela-
lively big increase Chicago re-
ported a larger gain in the past
three months than for the prev
ious twelve months. More than
Z, 900 new accounts were opened
during that period, bringing the
number of depositors in that city
up to over Fl, 900.

p 'stal savings business has not
only added greatly to the gene
raj administrative duties of the

GROWTH OF THE
POSTAL SAVINGS

The war in Europe is proving
a 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 depositors at post-office
pay windows anxious to again re-
turn their savings to the bootleg
and body-belt repositories whence
they came before intrusted to
Uncle Sam. But the forecasters
failed to reckon on the absolute
confidence of the American citi-
zen, regardless of the flag that
first met his eyes, in the ability
and purpose of the government
to carry out it's obligations, not
only among the nations of the
earth, but with the humblest cit
izen of our land.
Two important results have
followed: thousands of people,
largely of foreign birth, accust-
omed to send their savingt abroad
are now patrons of our postal
savings system; and enormous
sums of actual cash have been
released for commercial uses
among our own people at a time

Denver.-As the result of a dispute
between the Public Utilities Commis-
sion and the Civil Service Commission
as TO whether or not the employees of
the Utilities Commission are in the
classified service State Auditor Roady
kenehan has held up the pay OF the
employees since the commission came
into being in August The utilities
commission plans to mandamus Kene-
han to settle the question in the
courts. As the case will undoubtedly
he taken TO the State Supreme Court.
the four employees affected will 80 for
some months without their salaries.
The law creating the public utilities
provided that the commission shall
appoint its employees at its pleasure.
which would remove them from the
classified service. Also the statute
was passed after the civil service law,
and upon this point The commission
makes the contention that the EN-
ployes of the board do not come under
civil service.
The Civil Service Commission holds
the position that 1t was NOT the inten-
tion of the Legislature in passing the
Public Utilities Commission law to
take the employees OF the commission
from the classified service. If the
Legislature did, th. Civil Service Com
mission claims, every state employe
can be taken from the classified sery-
ice in time by later statutes.
TIL attorney generals office rem
dered AN opinion to Kenehan that the
employees of the utilities commission
do not come under civil service while
the Civil Service Commission rem
dercd one exactly opposite to the audi
tor.
Should the decision of the Supreme
Court be in favor OF the utilities com
mission. the powers of the civil serv-
ice Commission may in time decrease
until they no longer exist.
