POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM EX'
TENDED.

We are indebted to Postmaster
Lish for important information re-
garding the extension Of the Posta.
Savings System to take effect July I
So many touching appeals to oper
postal deposit accounts by mail were
coming in to the p~ostoffice depart
ment from all over the country from
people residing in districts so sparsely
settled as not to warrant the desig-
nation of their local postoffices as
regular postal savings bank that the
department took the matter up and
has worked out a feasible plan. After
July 1 every person in the United
States ten years old or over may open
an account in a postal savings bank.
An intending deposition, residing
where there is no regularly desig-
mated postal savings bank, will apply
to his local postmaster who will see
that necessary Identification data is
prepared and forwarded to a nearby
post Office authorized to accept de-
posts. The intending ~depositor will
then be given permission to forward
his first and subsequent deposits by
money order or registered mail d.
rect to the postmaster at the banking
point for which receipts or certif-
Gates will be issued. He may with
draw all or any part of his postal saw
ings by mail and on demand together
with any interest that may be due
him.
The explanatory lealet points out
that any person ten years old or over
may open an account in his or her
own name; that postoffice officials are
forbidden to disclose to any person,
except the depositor, the amount of
any deposits; that Withdrawals may
be made without previous notice; and
that the government guarantees to re-
pay all deposits on demand with &C.
crued interest.
The leahet will soon be printed in
% foreign languages for distribution
through local postoffices. The for
eign-born citizen has taken very
kindly to postal savings, and itera-
ture in his own language will be Of
great assistance to him. Recent sta
tistics show over 100000 depositors,
a majority Of whom are wage earners.
| Forty per cent are foreign born and
these own over fifty per cent of the
deposits. ~ .a a.. a
Postal savings receipts have broken
all records the past year. During
the eight months prior to April LIST
there was a net gain in deposits Of
$19,000,000, as against a gain Of
&c. 900 for the same months the
year before. Thousands Of new &C
counts have been opened and the mil
lions made up largely Of hidden saw
ings have been turned back into the
channels Of trade just at a time when
there was pressing demand for every
| dollar.

NEWSPAPER DONTS.

The editor of the Woodsbury (Conn.) Reporter while in a gloomy mood, wrote the following:
 Don't take your home paper. It is tie most active and powerful factor in building up your town, and to support it would involve you in the work
 Don't pay for it if you take It.. Newspapers arc run on wind, and the editor wouldn't keep the money any way. He'd most likely pay it on his bills.
 Don't fail to tell the editor how to run the paper.
 He has nothing to do but to listen and keep his temper sweet.
 Don't put your name to what you want published. It's the editors business to espouse unpopular causes and rake your chestnuts out of the fire. What hurts your business might also hurt his-but that's different. Don't notify the editor when you change your postolfice address. He nay lose track of you and you will escape paying tho last two CT three years of your subscription. Don't forget to write on both sid s of the paper. The printers might for get how to swear. Don't write your communications legibly. Deciphering them keeps the editor busy and he is able to make an oc ccasicnal blunder, which promotes good feeling all round. Don't imagine that the newspaper ihas anything to do. Newspapers run themselves and the ravens feed ths printers.

 the Lincoln highway thru Utah Wyoming and Nevada. In these states 75 per cent of the highway is in good condition, 15 per cent. is fair and only 10 per cent is bad. And when the trunk highways are in good condition, the " lesser roads, or feeders, follow suit in due course.
 Considering the great states that they are, Illinois and Kansas have poor roads. They should be improved at an early day and the way to do it is to educatg the people to be road enthusiastic. The South and South west is making widespread experi- ments with constructing better roads and is doing much to rlduce the hig;i cost of other sections.

was the advice of man who knew the most rigid economy in youth, and was addressed to parents and instructors ot future Americans.
 Children frequently have a greater sense of responsibility than they are given credit for. They often are not allowed to exercise it through the mis- taken kindness of parents who desire them to have care-frec childhood. It is through being-acquainted with all the financial difficulties of the home and hearing them talked of that lessons of great value often are learned. Children like to have money to spend for birthday and holiday presents, and they will enjoy buying the gifts much more with money earned by themselves than if the money is given to them. Let the children make out their own lists and do their own planning ard reckoning. They will thus learn to be careful of money, to keep within their savings amount and will spend it less recklessly during the year.
 i It has been found that poor children in Chicago spend from ten to twenty five cents week on candy, cakes and chewing gum. How much better it

HOW GOOD ROADS PAY.

It's hard to convince some persons that good roads pay. They are blinded ty the cost. They say the price is too high They admit benefits, but in sist tha. they do not balance the cost.
 Thsr, are two gaod reascns fo: good roads. One is that they enable dRrm:rs to haul heavier loads with Ess weir and tear and greater com fort. ard tn, k.her is that they en- able quicker and easier locomotion between farms, towns and from dis tant points.
 Last year 2oO.000 au ,omobiles loaxed with out of state tourists ertered New york stats, and every car left money thsre.
 Thousands of automobile parties crossed the continent this past sum- mer. and wherever they went they lsft money. Form erly this money re- mained in the citiss and never saw the country, so to spsak Coed roads coaxes it out of it's hiding place.

would be if these children were taugi, to save this money for something use. fu!, CT something from which they
 would get real pleasure for days ard weeks instead of something that :s likely to be injurious to their health. Children who are permitted to sperd every cert seldom will amount to any, thing, although there is stl!l room Ut the top for those who are thrifty, inc dustrious aud ambitious. Years ago an h, ''nble gardener in Germany, scraped and saved in order to come to America, but h could not manage it. Then he determined that his son should hayo the great chance in the wonderful new world.
 When the son was fourteen years old, the father gave the boy the money and bade him God Speed"
 With his few articles of clothing in q bundle, the son set out for America in the steerage of slow ship. He secured work on farm in Illinois and later began to learn the English lan- guage from priest who gave him em- ployment in Kansas. Having mastered the language, he went to work in drug store and soon saved enough money to buy out his employer. All this time he had been studying the principles of banking and when the opportunity came he was able to put his theories into practice.
 He organized and helped to organize several banks in Kansas. This man is Peter W. GoebeI, president to the sn1 City, who has just been elected vice president of the American Bankers Associa Ee'n at Seattle.
 It is quite evident that MT. Goebel would not be an official of the above mentioned organization and heading several banks besides if he had spent every cent as he earned it when . youth.

 Boston, Nov. 27.-Charles Dicker- man, half back on the Princeton team this year is now at his home here to answer the claim of Miss Gertrude Corliss, a telephone operator in Tow CT &, Underwood's banking offices, that she is married to the gridiron star. ..t s1-.= Mrs. DicKerman, mother of the col iege man, refuses to believe that her son is married.
 Miss Corliss, twenty-one years old and pretty, says that she will con- tinue at her switchboard until Dick erman finishes his college course. She was graduated from the St. James parochjal High school four years ago. Her mother denied knowledge of the marriage, and said someone had been circulating false rumors about her daughter and Dickerman.
 Dickermans school mates who could be reached said they knew nothing of the marriage.

Attorney. General of Arkansas Tester. day Enrolled as Member of

: Little Rock, Nov. 29.-Attorney- General Wallace Davis was today en- rolled in the supreme court of Ar kansas: and will now De permitted to practice in that court. The law already provided that he could ap- pear in the. court as the representa- tive of the state in cases wherein the state is a party.
 The unexpected withdrawal of M. P. Huddleston of Paragould as a candidate for attorney general seems to leave that race wholly to John D. Arbuckle and Lewis Rhoton. At this time there appears to be no reason to believe that tAttorney-General Wal lace Davis will enter the race.
