SEEING THE LOWER HUDSON

Tor the first time in the history Of
steam5oating on the Hudson, travel
lers by the night boats from Albany
and connecting places north and west
are this season afforded a special OPP.
portunity to see the beauties Of the
lower Hudson, which are the distin-
gushing characteristic of the great
river and which have given it unique
reputation throughout the world. By
establishing the Might Express the
Hudson Navigation Company offers
thousands of sightseers who would
have no other opportunity a chance to
see the lower narrows and stretches
of the great river, from Newburgh
Bay down, under the most favorable
conditions for enjoying the scenery.
Two boats have been placed on this
line, the Trojan and Rensselaer,, which
start from Albany at II o'clock at
night. Connecting trains from this vi
cinity make this line a great conven-
fence for business men wishing to
make a trip to the city or for week
end visitors who desire to return to
the city late Sunday night, arriving
there by business hours Monday morn
ing.
1t is the thousands Of people who
like to combine sightseeing with bust
ness that will especially enjoy the
Might Express" trip. 1t is worth
while, no matter how often one has
seen the lower Hudson, to renew ones
acquaintance with its wonderful and
romantic scenery. 1t is especially in
teresting at this time, when the noble
Palisades Park project is permitting
Nature to resure her sway Of the low
er Hudson shores, and when one can
see the Palisades, that unrivalled fea-
ture Of the river, under the assurance
that they are TO be preserved for all
generations as glory and an honor
to American idealism. One has only
to look at Hook Mountain, that once
bold and magnificent feature Of the
river, in its present SCARED and pitt
able condition, to understand what
sordid commercialism designed for the
beauties Of the lower Hudson. But all
the features Of the river, as afforded
TO The voyagers by the Might Ex-
press are unsurpassed in beauty and
romantic interest. No one but wishes
to see, and to see again, the wooded
shores rising abruptly from the water;
the bold mountains Of the Highlands,
including those historic peaks. An
tisony's Nose, Crows Nest, Dunder-
burg, Breakneck, Beacon, Bear Noun
tain. and others, celebrated in song
and story; the magnificent buildings of
West Point; the lovely islands; the
great stretches Of the bays, unrivalled
for their majestic and mystic beauty;
the many points famed in colonial and
revolutionary history; and then the
Palisades--the most wonderful adorn-
ment possessed by any river in the
world.
The time and the way TO see the
Iower Hudson is in the morning and

The above article is published
by request and is well WORT
the study of our readers.
And right here we want t,
present another feature of the
case.
Our good farmer friends say
the mail order agents come
weekly to their doors. OF courso
the big mail order houses do not
employ canvaSSrrS. What the
writer meant was that they Wis
tied him through their adrer.
tiSementS. And right here is
where the home merchant has a
big advantage over the mail or.
der houses. He has at hand his
nom" newspaper, reaching prac.
tically every farmer living with
IN his trade territory and in no
other way can he so well reach
the people as through it's col.
nmns. The mail order houses
have built up and are maintain.
ing a big business. How: BY
persistent advertising, every
week in the year and every
year. BY this same means can
the local merchants maintain a
good business.
There is no question but that
the home merchant will give YOU
us good if not a better deal than
the mail order houses.
Then why de people send to
the mail order houses: Because
they soc their advertisements
and do not see the advertise.
ments of their home merchants.
1t is Il sad fact, but neverthe.
less true, that as IA rule the local
d. not do the adver-
tiSing they should. People no
tice it. You may not think so,
but it is a fact.
We recently sent a mar in
Carthage a sample copy of the

paper, he says:

Proving Big Boon

a big boon to postal savings ia
; IN this country. From the very
l day hostilities opened across the
seas postal savings began to in.
] crease by leaps and bounds and
Withdrawals fell off, Il result
quite contrary to the predictions
of many well.infOrmed persons
who. in their imagination, saw
lines of feverish depositors at

to again return their savings to

regardless of the flag that first
met his eyes. in the ability and
purpose of the Government to
carry out its obligations, not on
~ among the nations of the
earth. but with the humblast
citizen of our land.
Two important results have
followed; thousands of people,
largely of foreign birth. accus.
toned to send their savings
abroad, are now patrons of our
postal. savings system: and enor-
nous sums of actual cash have
been released for commercial
uses among our Own people at a
time when the need for every
available dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings
in the United States has been
steady and healthy and the sys.
tenn has filled an important gap
between the tin.can depository
and the factory paymaster. On
July |, when affairs we're run
ming smoothly here and abroad
and the transmission of money
across the Atlantic was safe and
expeditions, there was approx
mately S43, 900 of postal saw
ingS standing to the credit of
about 39S 5000 depositorS. Since
then over $40, 900, 900 of deposits
have been added and the num-
Der of depositors has increased
enormously. This unprecedent.
ed gain is the more striking
when it is considered that the
net gain in the last three months
is larger than the gain for the
entire fiscal year 1914. Scores
OF Offices have done more postal
savings business since the war
has been going on than was done
them during the previous ex.
of the service. The in.
treaSeS r. confined to no spec
ial localities, but have been felt
IN every nook and corner of the
country. New York City alone
made a gain in September of
than a million, while
showed a relatively
big increase. Chicago reported
. larger gain in the past three
months than for the previous II
nOntS. More than 1000 new ac-
counts We're opened during the
bringing the numbers in
city up to over II 900.
The unexpected increase in
savings business has not
only added greatly to the gen
