Postmaster Smith has referred to the
editor a new circular just issued by
the government regarding postal saw
ings deposits and making some changes
in the former rules. Heretofore parties
desiring to open savings deposit were
required. to make personal appearance
at the postoffiee. That plan has now
been changed and arrangements made
for transmitting ones deposits by mail.
The new leaflet 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
married woman free from any control
or interference by her husband; that
postoffice officials are forbidden to dis.
close to any person, except the depos-
itor, the amount of any deposits; that
Withdrawals may be made without pre-
vious notice; and that the government
guarantees to repay all deposits on de-
mand with accrued interest.
Mr.. Smith will be glad to furnish
further information to anyone inter.
ested in the postal savings plan.

Questien Still Pending Before
Council, Involving tie
Placing Of Pumps
MANY OTHER MATTERS

The dog question was brought up and
discussed at the meeting of the city
council held last Monday evening aud
it was evident to those who heard the
report of the number of licenses paid
that owners of dogs are not falling
over themselves in their rush to the
Office of the city clerk to pay for the
privilege of maintaining nuisance.
Some definite action which will prob
ably result in the separation of some
of our citizens from their doggies will
probably be taken at the next meeting.
If you are fortunate enough to own
car, must you drive inside some gar
age to replenish your gas supply, or are
you to be allowed to drive alongside
the curb and feed your horse from \
tank located in front of the garage?
This is the question which has been put
up to the council and they are taking
plenty Of time to decide it. At the
former meeting, J. F. Mccoy asked per-
mission to install just outside the curb
gasoline tank and pump similar to

BY Mrs. Gsrence Baxter
Six or seven years ago, some of the
women of Kirksville had visions Of =
more beautiful community. In drastic
terms We would denounce our neighbor
who insisted upon throwing her empty
tin cans in the vacant lot, and emptying
her garbage over the back fence. The
fact that such customs prevailed made
conditions none the more wholesome
and inviting, except to A army Of Aies
and Mosquitoes.

JUDGE NOT Q
. Judge not thy brother for perhaps if thou
Had st fought his fight upon lfe's battle field,
The laurel wreath which decks thy temple
Thou had st been forced to yield.
He who hast tasted shot flame
o Is unfit for his brother shame.
Perhaps that look thou judges to be fear
Was caused by pain; he dare, and knew the cost
Thou hast not borne his burdens year by year
What right hast thou to say his fight was lost!
Perhaps thy boasted courage all had fled
IIad's thou but foowe, where his daring led
That tender note so full of mercy power
Was added to his voice when he had cried
In agony twas in that awfu hour
o He found for him that mercy denied;
Then in his voice the OF tenderness
Took and grew the weak bless
Who thee right to judge He braved the Q
OF men less strong He tool the unblazed trail,
His hands bruised his Bleeding feet torn,
/ And still his dauntless c0urage did nto fall Q
Only the Unseen knows the bitter cost
OF those brave fights the world condemns lost.

Influence of the "Mouies"

Writers of motion picture scenarios have undoubted
opportunities for bestowing great benefits upon the pub
lie, and the younger generation in particular, by pointing a
moral or introducing material of educational value. OF
late, however, there has appeared to be a paucity of ma
terial that could be relied upon to enchain the interest OF
those seeking sensations, and the plot inventors nave re-
sorted to the %expedient of Introducing situations that are
altogether impossible, not to say grotesque, and which not
only have no value educationally, but are calculated to
mislead and misinform. The most cnspicuous instance
tective story films, in which appliances are shown in use,
which purport to be new and important Inventions, but
which in reality do not exist.
The introduction of such spurious material can only
tend to cheaper the educational value of motion pictures,
that which reflects the truth. Americans have developed
the motion picture industry to its present high standard,
far surprising the attainments of foreign countries in this
line, and in the absence of a censorship that censors
s%ensibly, the producers themselves should discourage pro-
auctions of this character and see to it that their pictures
set forth only what is true to life and within the realm of
actually. The picture that misieads and distorts the
truth is harmful to the young and uniformed and disgust
ing to the more mature and educated.
There is no gainsaying the great value as an educator
of motion pictures. They have served to bring to the
people of one country an intimate knowledge of the peo-
pie, customs, institutions and scenery of all other countries
even to the uttermost wilds of unexplored continents.
They have afforded a close insight into innumerable sub
iects and problems with which the general public has here
tofore had no opportunity to familiarize itself. In isolated
communities the pictures have been practically the sole
recreation of the people, and the entertainment. essentially
clean and healthy in character. has performed an important

Mining Men and Farmers

For years there as been more or less open hostility
between the mining men and the farmers in the mining
and smelling sections of the west, says the Mining World.
In the case of i'll feeling and distrust between nations, if
sifted to the bottom, it will usually be found that the feel
ing has its origin in a lack of understanding. People who
know one another intimately are usually friends unless
there is some real cause for a grievance. We believe a
similar state of affairs exists between the farmers and the
mining men. There is need of a better mutual under
standing of one anothers needs and rights. Wouldn't it
be well for mining men to cultivate more intimate rela-
tons with the western farmers? The following, which
is worth consideration, is quoted as having been spoken
by a young farmer in Arizona when he applied for mem
bership in the American Mining Congress at it's recent
meeting at Phoenix:
Il wish that you could let me in for two or three
memberships. And while am about it | want to tell Won
mining men that you have us farmers sized up wrong.
You have charged us with being hostile toward the indus.
try, particularly toward the big companies. But until
you organized this chapter you never did a thing to let
us know how important the industry was. We were busy
with our alfalfa, our steers, our cotton and our sugar cane.
and had no time to find out for ourselves how much money
your copper, gold and silver were bringing into the state.
If | had always known what | know now about the rela-
tive Importance of mining my attitude on a great manv
questions would have been decidedly different. From
this time forward you can count on the farmers to CO.
operate with the mining men. You will find them ready
to meet you half way on public questions, such as taxa
ton. All my %neighbors are going to Join this CHAPTER.
and we are going to watch its work pretty closely. for we
now realize that the development of mines means the de-
of markets for our products"
