SAVINGS
DEPOSITS SHOW
GREAT INCREASE
Resources Doubled at Start Of
War, Says Postmaster's
Report.

An increase Of $3.50, 40 over the
amount on deposit a year ago Is
shown in the quarterly report Of the
Newark Postals Savings Bank, made
public by Postmaster Frank ]. Book.
The big strides with which the bank
had been building up it's resources
We're doubled with the start OF the
European war. The amount on de-
posit at the close of last month was
s440,17e. The deposits in March, 1914,
totaled s20s. .70s.
There are 4.145 depositors who trusT
their savings in the postal ank In
March, 1914. the depositors numbered
2.6So, making an increase during the
year of 1,4s5.
The regulations Of the bank pso-
vide that no depositor may have more
than $500 to his account in the federal
bank. This amount earns 2 per cent
interest, payable annually. To take
care Of the surplus over $500 the gov
ernment issues postal savings bonds,
which earn 21s per cent, payable
semi-annually. The value Of the
bonds issued on January 1 was SIC, $50
and these were purchased In two
days. Miss Sarah J. Higgins is head
Of the department which conducts the
bank
There is not = week that We
do not receive new depositors, .
said Miss Higgins today. 1T Is
strange but the people are in an
walks Of life. The poor people are
not the only ones to use the bank by
any means. We have school superifa-
tendents, lawyers, businessmen ard
men and women of means on our
books, but the greater number OF our
depositors are foreigners. 1t is sur
prising the manner in which the
bonds are snapped up. On January l.
1914, we sold $3.50 worth and this
year we beat that by almost $1,000
The paying teller's window is not half
as busy as the receiving telIer's
window, and II is hard for me to be-
lieve all the stories I hear OF hard
times when the deposits are growing
every day"
The average amount on deposit is
s106.19, and the following table sfoHe
the manner in which the business has
increased In a year:

To Leave Elgin.

In this issue will be found adj
vertisements of the Rucker store
in which they state that all goods
possible will be sold at public
arction on next Saturday, May
90, and it is understood that if
any goods should be left that
they will be packed and moved to
Okeene.
1t has been a little over two
months since Mr.. Rucker traded
with G. w. Walker for this stock
of goods and by hustlins adver-
tising methods has made quite a
difference in the volume of busi-
n ass that came to Elgin.
OF late the business has not
been so good as at first. due
largely to the fact that the store
quit handling groceries. and at
this season of the year the far
mers must use their produce to
get something to eat.

Administration Pleased.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O-Gratih- cation and relief were frankly dis played by the administration officials today when news came from Fl Paso that seven of Villas generals and leaders had signed an agreement to turn the rebel of the north over 10 the de facto government of Mexico. Confidence is felt here at the reported promise of Villa to eliminate himself. If he appears on the American side of the boundary ne will find a free road. Villas withdrawal and the in cooperating of his army into that ci the de facto government is regarded as indicative of early peace in Mexi- co; at least 1t will pave the way to- ward reducing materially the strong patrol the United States has been obliged to maintain along the bo-- der. His elimination, it is believed, will leave Carranza free to move his army to the south and concentrate his forces against rebellious bandits still operating in the interior, near the capital
