MONEY ORDERS
TO Be LIMITED
Applications for Large Foreign
Orders Can Be Declined
by Postmasters.

Postmaster General Burleson mas
instructed all postmasters that it is
not necessary for them to accept large
foreign money orders.
The rate on exchange has become so
high in the last few days that many
firms and individuals doing foreign
business turned to the postal service
to transmit their money. The post
master general in a communication
received by the Rock Island postmas-
ter says in regard to this:
THE treaties concluded by the
United States with foreign countries
give each postal administration power
to suspend, temporarily, the exchange
of money orders in case the course of
exchange or any other circumstance
detriment to the postal revenue.
THE sudden and extraordinary ad-
vance in bankers exchange due to the
public apprehension of a general Euro
pean war may lead to abuses of the
money order system because of the
much lower rates of conversion obtain
able at postoffices.
I'm these unusual circumstances,
and until the return of normal con6i-
lions, postmaSters may decline to &C
cept applications for international
money orders when made for unusu-
ally large sums and when there is rea-
son to believe the orders are wanted
for speculative purposes. In every
case, however, immediate report of the
facts should be made to the Office of
the third assistant postmaster general,
division of money orders"
Acting upon these instructions
Postmaster Campbell of Chicago here
after will not issue money orders ex-
ceeding 500 that are to be sent to any
European countries. Mr.. Campbell
also announced this is expected to be
reduced TO $50 in a few days.

Following receipt of a letter
from WinsloW Commercial Club,
Mayor La Prade convened the

purpose of considering the matt
er of purchasing suitable grounds
for Amusement Park, and Base

After roll call of officers, the
special matter was presented by
Mr.. E. E. Ball, President of the

the Winslow Commercial Club
they had secured an option on
Blocks No. As and 55, and frac-
tions Of Blocks No. AZ and Sc
which could be had for the sum
of $4,000.
He stated further that the st.
Louis and San Francisco Railway
Company held the adjoining land,
which could be had for a small
consideration.
Mr.. Hebert, secretary of the
ball team, informed the council
that they were ready to build
their grand stand, and if the
Town would acquire this land for
the purpose of ball ground and
race track, they would agree to
dedicate all of their improve
ments to the grounds for amuse-
ment purposes.

What have ye in your house"

Arbor Day is past, it is true, but
the spirit of Arbor Day should
be fostered throughout the year.
Let us plant trees and flowers.
When children are led TO a real
ization of the economic value of
trees and flowers, to say nothing
of the pleasure which their pres
ence and cultivation bring, they
will be their staunchest protec-
tors.
Spring with it's pre- mise of new
life, its joy, and gladness, fifty

will thus be brought to a closer
acquaintance with the world of
Nature, beautiful with its mar
velous procession of seasons.
The mystery of the hanging
cloud, the rustling of leaves, the
beauty and fragrance of flowers,
the flash of storm, the rain, the
snow-all these are familiar to
all of us. But it is their deeper
meaning that we should impress.
the meaning which will result in
an intense love of Nature, an en-
llched imagination, a strength
ened ethical sentiment; the
meaning which will enable us,
while listening to the voice OF
Nature, to hear the voice Of God.
