face in an astringent lotion made by
dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite

POSTAL SAVINGS INCREASING.
The War In Europe Has Caused an In.
crease in Postal Savings Despite
Predictions to the Contrary.

The war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day hos
tllltes opened across the seas pos
tal-savings receipts began to in
crease by leaps aud bounds and
Withdrawals fell off, a result quite
contrary to the predictions of many
well-informed persons who, in their
imagination, saw lines of feverish
deposltors at post-office pay win
dows anxious to again return 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 citizen, regardless of the
flag that first met his eyes, in the
ability and purpose of the govern
ment to carry out its obligations,
not only among the nations of the
earth, but with the humblest citi-
zen of our land.
Two important results have fol-
lowed; thousands of people, large
ly of foreign birth, accustomed to
send their savings abroad, are now
patrons of our postal-savings sys-
TEN; and enormous sums of actual
cash have been released for COM
merCial uses among our own people
at time when the need for every
available dollar is pressing
On July l, when affairs were
running smoothly here and abroad
and the transmission of money
across the Atlantic was safe and
expeditions, there was approXl-
mately S43,0O0,000 of postal say
ings standing to the credit of about
338, 900 depositors. Since then
over $40, ,000,0 of deposits have
been added and the number of de-
positors has increased enormously.
The increases are confined to no
special localities, but have been
felt in every nook and corner of
the country.
At the Hurley post office the
number of accounts July 1st were
189, and the amount on deposit
was $50, ,996. October % the mum
Der of accounts was 211, and the
amount on deposit $40, All, an in
crease in the amount on deposit OF
IS, ,415 The number of accounts
increased 22 in the same period.

Looks For Better Conditions.

Expressing only the greatest op-
timism as 10 the business outlook
for the future and asserting that
the opportunities for progress and
success in this country are greater
than ever before, - Hilbert II Gary
of the L. S. Steel corporation and
president of the American Iron and
Steel Institutes, addressed the an
nual meeting of the institute at
Birmingham, Ala. He reviewed
the iron and steel trade, not only
of the Z. S. but of the world in
touching upon the amicable rela-
tons existing between the business
men of various European nations
and those of the y. S. following
the meeting of the representatives
of the Iron and Steel manufactur-
industries of Europe three years
ago. In this connection Gary touch
ed upon the European war and
said. Without giving reasons in
detail at the present time l venture
the opinion that the struggle for
commercial supremacy was the un-
DERIVING cause of the war, OF that
at least had decided influence up
on its precipitation; that the ques-
ton as issue relative to dollars and
cents. And many believe if repre-
sentatives Of the different nations
had met in a spirit Of friendly and
cordial inquiry for the purpose of
definitely and finally settling the
financial interest Of each, all trouble
would have been averted

Wider Publicity Urged.

INV W bSdt DdCk llC using COST
of government through greater
publicity of expenditures is to be
brought before the governors con
ference at Madison Nov. 1G to II
BY I. S. Adams, secretary OF the
National Tax association. The
conference, which is made up of
the governors, former governors
ard governors-elect of the forty
eight states, will be asked to join
with the National Tax association
to obtain in every state regular and
prompt publication of expendi-
lures by every division of govern
ment, state, city, village, county
and township.
While Mr. Adams will advocate
the publishing of simple state
ments which can be easily under
stood by the voters, it is believed
by some of the governors who
have advanced ideas on the sub
ject of publicity will urge some
plan more likely to attract general
attention. 1t is expected that some
suggestion will be made for the
employment of publicity experts
to prepare news and feature stories
on the activities of government. In
some of the states, certain public
institutions, and occasionally cities
have experimental with the EN-
ployment of press agents. The sue
cess of these experiments probably
will be recounted in the discussion
of Mr.. Adams proposal
At its last annual meeting the
National Tax association instituted
such a movement. 1t was the re-
port from practically all states that
at present the average voter can
make neither head nor tail OF the
financial accounts of the average
state, city or village. This condi-
ton was held to be responsible for
the ignorance and indifference of
the general public about public ex-
peuditures. Nh Adams, on behalf
of the tax association, will appear
before the conference to ask the
governors to give support and en-
couragement to this movement for
wider publicity.
The National Tax association AL
50 aims to bring about a widespread
discussion of the practicability and
desirability of tax-limit laws. New
and modern forms of tax-limit laws
have proved effective in Colorado,
Ohio and other states. The COVER
nors' conference will be asked to
cooperate in procuring a wider
study of such laws as a means of
restraining public expenditures.
As uniformity of legislation and
general practices of government is
one of the chief purposes of the
conference, it is believed that the
suggestions coming from the Ma
tional Tax association will receive
considerable attention.

INDEX OIL & GAS
COMPANY GETS GAsER

The Index Oil & Gas Company's we'll
which is being drilled on the w. T.
Phillips farm, was about 40 feet in the
sand Wednesday afternoon and is al
ready producing a nice flow of gas.
The volume is thought to be equal to
the Caskey well No. /, and better than
he McClain well on Elk Fork before
they were shot. This flow OF gas was
struck at the top of what is supposed
to be the Clinton sand. Without mis-
hap the Hudson river sand will be
reached today and the operators have
strong hopes that oil in paying guam
titles will be found.
If nothing further should develop
they have a nice gas well. If no oil is
struck the we'll will probably be shot
in the hope that it will increase the
flow of gas. The promoters are high
ly pleased with the outlook and fur
ther development in this field will fol-
low as soon as arrangements can be
made.
There is no doubt but that there is
oil in the territory adjacent to the
Burns well No. l, and the Neal valley

from which oil would have been mar
