DECORATION DAY.

May 80, throughout the United States
of America. is observed as Decoration
Day, or Memorial Day. 1t is a Ma
tional legal holiday. Business is sus-
pended. at least for time, if not for
the day. Appropriate addresses are
delivered, patriotic songs are sung. and
the remnant of once famous armies
march to the ''city of the Dead" and
upon the grave of each comraGe is laid
flower or two.
1t is a beautiful token of respect
manifested toward those who laid down
their lives in defencei of their country
and its flag. 1t impreses the rising
generation with the fact that the Ma
ton does not forget those who die in
defense of the flag, and that it is a
great honor to be an American. AS
they look upon the veterans, marching
behind the flag and the bands, or the
fife and drums, they catch an inspira-
ton that will make them feel that up
on them, as the sons and grand sons of
veterans, rest the responsibility of
protecting the stars and stripes from
the enemy of. this land of the free and
home of the brave.
All honor to these men, who in the
sixties. preserved this great country
from dissolution and laid the founda-
ton for a grander. nobler country,
whose people should command the re-
spect and admiration of thei nations of
the whole world.
Rapidly they are being mustered out
of service to join their comrades who
have fought good fight and are at
rest.
Next Sunday, we of this vicinity. will
join the remnant of this victorious army
in decorating.the graves of the fallen
comrades and in our houses of worship
and at the family altar thank God that
we dwell in a land of peace and plenty,
the friends of all mankind and the
enemy of no.-one

Postal Savings.

If interested in saving money with
interest," that's not intended for a play
of words-read the following, which, in
part, is given as is posted in the lobby
of the postoffice, which allows any one
living at any place in the domain of
your Uncle Samuel's to open a postal
savings account by mail at any office.
Every person in the United States
ten years old or oyer may open an &C
count in a postal savings bank after
July 1st, according to an instructive
leahet on the Postal Savings system
just issued by Postmaster General
Burleson. This important extension of
the service will be made possible by
permitting persons living in COM
munities so sparsely settled as not to
Justify the designation of their local
post offices as regular postal savings
banks to open accounts by mail.
Under the plan adopted by the Post
master General for opening accounts
by mail an intending depositor, re-
siding where there is no regularly des-
ignated postal savings bank will apply
to his local postmaster, who will see
that necessary identification data is
prepared and forwarded to a nearby
postoffice authorized to accept deposits.
The intending depositor will then be
given permission to forward his first
and subsequent deposits by money or
der or registered mail direct to the
postmaster at the banking point for
which receipts or certificates will be is
sued. He may withdraw all or any
part of his postal savings by mail
and on demand, together with any in
terest that may be due him.
Postal savings receipts have broken
all records the past year. During the
eight months prior to Arril there was
net gain in deposits of $19, 900, 900, as
against a gain of $8,0OO,000 for the
same months the year before. Thous-
ands of new accounts have been opened
and the millions made up largely of
hidden savings have been turned back
into the channels of trade just at time
when there was pressing demand for
every dollar.

county farmers TO double the acreage
soWn to buckwheat. There is a grow
ing demand for Garrett County buck
wheat flour and this demand will con-
tinue to grow, as the public becomes

past? 1t means economy of time, it
