Miss Greenwood has the honor of
holding the highest first grade certifi-
cate now in force in the county.
However Miss Julia Rinker, who
now is in the government employ in
the schools of Nevada, still has the
distinction of getting the best first
grade certificate granted in Trego
county. In her last examination,
taken five years ago, her grades
averaged SO sis. She was then just a
young teacher with barely sufficient
experience in teaching necessary to
be granted the certificate.

RECEIPTS
ARE CLIMBING UP
Savings System Shows the
Largest Growth Of Its
History.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE European
war gave postal receipts a severe set
buck, according to the annual report OF
A. NJ. Dockery. Third Assistant Post
master-9eneral. made public to-day. II
is shown that postal receipts increased
yearly for the fiscal years 1910 to 1914
inclusive at All average OF b IA
per sent. Alleged postal SURPRISES OF
$4,000. 900 for the fiscal year 1913 and
$500. 900 for 1914 were covered into the
Treasury.
Rumblings of the impending conflict In
Europe were heard in July. 1914, and
postal receipts. the unerring thermome-
ter of business conditions and barometer
for coming events as Mr.. Dockery styles
them. began TO fall. a veritable slump
occurred in August. the first month OF
tho war. and sharp declines IN receipts
followed monthly until November. when
they reached tho point OF lowest deprcs-
sion. Then the tide turned.
Poise was regained and business began
to adjust Itself to existing conditions.
Postal receipts responded quickly and
have been climbing up ever since in step
with increasing prosperity and business
activity throughout tho country.
Postal receipts for the year ended
June 80. 1915. are shown to have been
1887. 248.l65. or about o~ne-Quarter OF I
per cent. less thar In the preceding year.
Expenditures were $29s.646. 026. Adding
335.447 for losses due to fires and bur-
glaries. u deficit for the year of $ll.-
333, sos Is shown by audited accounts.
The growth OF the postal savings sys-
TEN for the year Is shown 10 have been
tho largest in its history. both In num-
Der of depos!tors and o deposited.
On Juno so, 1915, there were 525.4l4
depositors. having to their credit $685.
s8%.708. an increase OF about 1877. 900
Individual depositors and more than
S22 900. 900 in deposits.
Depositors born outside the United
States own Just short of 72 per cent. Of
all the deposits, Approximately 80. 900
depositors have $500 counts and. under
the law AZ II now stands. no moro can
be accepted from them. and OF the num-
Der OF these depositors more than $4,000
arc foreign born.
The money order service felt the de-
moralizing effects OF the war along
with the general postal receipts. and the
International business necessarily con-
tinues to suffer. The domestic money
order business, however. responded
quickly to improving conditions. The
quarter ended June 80. 1915. showed "A
substantial increase yer the correspond
ms period In 1914, There were 1885,

NEW YORK RAILROADS
ASKED TO BECOME DRY
Their Presidents Get an Ap.
peal From the Anti
Saloon League.

WAsHlSGroS. Dec. 19.-The following
letter has been sent by the Anti-Saloon
League to presidents of railroads operat-
ing In New York State
This letter is sent, pursuant 10 for
NAL action OF the board of directors Of
the Ant!-Saloon League OF New York.
which represents the large majority Of
the churches Of this State. to yourself
and the other presidents of railroads
operating in New York state which have
not already acted in the premises. to call
10 your attention the fact that a large
number Of Owl voted dry at the re-
cent election and that now ass towns
Ctownships) in New York State have
voted to prohibit the sale OF alcoholic
liquor in every form. and twenty-six
others to permit It's sale only by drug
stores on physicians prescription.
MANY OF these towns are traversed
by railroads. Granting that a lining
car is a hotel, the fact remains that in
Ill towns out of 9S2, covering half or
more OF the area OF the State, not even
hotels are allowed to sell liquor and
every sale IN dining or buffet cars within
the limits of these towns is a violation
of the state law. which Is not covered
by possession of a Federal liquor tax
receipt.
I'VE assume you desire 20 obey the
law, lIltl YOU nave lOt realized the
growth Of dry territory in New York and
that you Will promptly take such ac-
ton as the case may require. II would
be possible to get out a wet and dry
schedule for every train traversing dry
territory and thus comply with the
letter OF the law. We believe. how
ever that consideration OF efficiency,
consistency and regard for growing pub
lie sentiment will lead you to ol!ow the
example of other roads and deal with
the public on a broader basis.
The question Of practicability Is not
involved. Various far Western roads
have stopped the sale OF liquor on trains
or will do so January /. Action on
this question WAS taken by the roads
leading out OF Chicago some time ago.
Two of the largest md best known rail.
way systems IN the United States op-
Grating from New York. the New Haven
and the Pennsylvania, have already
taken this action of their own volition.'
