Postal Savings System
Every person in the United States
ten wears old or over may open an ae-
count in postal savings bank after
july the LIST, according to an lnstruc-
tive leafiet on the Postal Savings Sys-
tenn lust issued by Postmaster General
Burleson. This important extension OF
the service will be made possible by
permitting persons living in commuhl-
ties so sparcely settled as not TO Jusel-
fv the designation Of their local post
Offices as regular postal savings banks
to open accounts by mail. (
Governor Dockery, Third Assistant
Postmaster General. who has direct
supervision of postal savings, was so
impressed by appeals from all over
the country to open postal savings &C
counts by mail that he took up tne
task some weeks ago of working out
feasible and safe method for meeting
demand we'll illustrated in aletter from
a Saline Country Missourian, who resi-
des many miles from postal savings
bank.
"Hsving a few hundred dollars saved
from fiftv wears of hard and assiduous
labor and skimping economy on the part
of nv wife and myself, we concluded
to deposit in the Postal Savings Bank
Of. We wrote to the postmaster at
that place and received reply to the Ell
feet that none but patrons OF that ONCE
could deposit in that office which Is
very disappointing news to u.s. Our
little farm is not large enough TO sup
mort us and land is so high that II Is
impossible for us to buy more with
what little we have saved and we are SO
Did that we can't labor much now and
we would be so glad to lay by at least
enough to put US away in decency'
Under the plan adopted by the Post
master General for opening accounts by
mail an intending depositor, residing
where there is no regularly designated
postal savings bank. will apply to MS
local postmaster who will see that
necessary Identification data is prepar-
ad and forwarded to nearby post
office authorized to accept deposits.
The intending depositor will then De
given permission to forward his first
and subsequent deposits by money Or
der or registered mail direct to the
postmaster at the banking point 1or
which receipts or certificates Will De
issued. He may withdraw all or any
part of his postal saving by mail and
on demand together with any interest
that may be due him.
The new leafet points out that any
person ten years old or over may open
an account in his or her own name; that
an account may be opened by a mar
ried woman free from any control o.
interference by her husband; that post
office officials are forbidden to disclose
to any person, except the depositor,
the amount of any deposits; that with
trawals may be made without previous
notice; and that the Government guar
antees to repay any deposits on demand
with accrued interest.
The leahet will soon be printed in "
foreign languages for distribution
through local post offices. The for
eign-born citizen has taken very kindly
to postal savings, and literature in his
own language will be of great assistance
to him. In recent article, Postmast-
ar General Burleson commented on the
foreign-born depositor as follows:
Upwards of 100000 depositors now
have accounts in the Postal Savings
System and they represent er y
nationality on the earth. They also
represent almost every known occupa-
tion-professional men, theatrical
people, mechanics, laborers, fishermen,
pack peddlers. etc. But the majority
are wage-earners, and Of this class the
foreign born largely predominant. A
census of depositors taken by the Post
Office Department shows that approx
mately 40 per cent 900, O00) of the de-
positors are foreignborn citizens and
they own more than SO per cent of the
deposits splendid evidence of the con-
tidence of our newly acquired citizens
-, +ba ahilitv and 0ood faith of their
