str1ck Inside the house everything seemed inst like a home in the city would be. Two real good looking girls, son. a good wife, piano, victrola, records by some of the leading sing CTS of the world, the best magazines, daily papers, all of this out in the country. An old farmer, who ever heard the like My room that night was as clean and as fine as any I had ever slept in, out in the country, too.
 had never thought much of farm until now My opinion of tie farmer came up by leaps and bounds, and have since learned that the grizzled farmer and his ordinary appearance does not mean that he is broke, and you can say MT" and mean every bit of it, too.
 His home folks were as refined as you might wish to meet anywhere, and of travel they had quite as much as I had.
 He said he got his start by getting a good string of customers in town, and that he made it a point to know what the town people wanted, and he fixed things so he could furnish these things. He made money out of wheat and of main crops, but his steady income and his ready money at all times of the year came from his regu- lar customers, and that he could not supply the demand at all times. His wife put up great amounts of pre- serves, jellies, canned vegetables, etc, and there was always a ready sale for it. He was a business man on a farm. Any farmer who has Little Rock for market can do the very thing that MT Jenkins did. Let your products do your advertising, but let the people know where they can buy them when you have advertised.-V. c. B.

POSTAL BANKS TO RECEIVE DE
 POSlTS BY MAIL.


 Every person in the United States ten years old or over may open an ac- count in a postal savings bank after July 1, according to an instructive leaf let on the Postal Savings System just issued by Postmaster General Burle- son. This important extension of the service will be made possible by per mitting personsl living in communities 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, resid- ing where there is no regularly des- ignated postal savings bank, will ap- ply to his local postmaster who will see that necessary identification data is prepared and forwarded to nearby post office authorized to accept de- posits The intending depositor will then be given permission to forward his first and subsequent deposits by money order or registered mail direct to the postmaster at the banking point for which receipts or certificates will be issued, He may withdraw all or any part of his postal savings by mail and on demand together with any ln- terest that may be due him.
 Upwards of 50O,OOO depositors now i, System and they represent every na- tionality on the earth. They also rep resent almost every known oecupa- professional men, theatrical people, mechanics, laborers, fisher- men, pack peddlers, etc. But the ma jority are wage -earners, and of this class the foreign-born largely predom- mate. A census of. depositors taken by the Post Office Department shows that approximately 40 per cent (200.- 000) of the depositors are foreign-born citizens and they own more than 50 per cent of the deposits splendid evi- dence of the confidence of our newly acquired citizens in the ability and good faith of their adopted country to fulfill it's obligations.
 There is another reason which led immigrants, unfamiliar with our lang uage and business methods to turn to the Government to safeguard their humble savings and that reason is the disastrous experience many of them have had by the failures of bo- gus private banks" officered by swindlers of their own tongue who have preyed mercilessly upon their loneliness and credulity"
 Postal savings receipts have broken all records this year. During the eight months prior to April 1 there was a net gain in deposits of $19,001,- 600 as against gain of $S.000,000 for the same months the year before. Z ssIi,crsands of new accounts have been rxxE 1..r

PAYS FARMERS TO ADVERTISE.

I want to buy eggs. Sometimes need several dozen a week, but the "store eggs" are not very good now, and I don't know any farmers who bring them in Of course, I catch a farmer now and then, but if 1 knew where to get eggs regularly it would be such help and one question would be solved that is really annoying.
 Have you any eggs to sell? If yon get acquainted with me could you just send me some by Parcel Post" and collect when you came to town. If I knew your postoffice I could drop you a card to bring me in some pota- toes, or peaches, or butter or chick ems, the next time you came in. It does seem so strange that some of these farmers don't have a few cards printed and let people know who they are and where they live. Cards don't cost much, and all other business men use them by the hundreds and I don's believe I ever knew a farmer who handed out cards. 1 did know farmer up in Iowa that had cards printed,
 
 but he was selling some fine chick ems and eggs and we bought set ting of eggs from him and after that we bought a great deal of other things, and he brought in the incest butter and what we got was fresh" Well do I remember calling him up over the rural phone one time just before 1 Thanksgiving, and after telling him what kind of a turk" I wanted and also ordering big pumpkin. he asked me to spend the day with him, saying that birds were plentiful and we would have fine shooting. Yes, I went and don't believe anybody could have been more surprised than I when 1 1 first saw his place. He was a good man, but was farmer and dressed like the ordinary farmer does, and we called him MT. Jenkins, but did not attach any importance to the MT. part at all as he to us was just a common farmer, and to tell the truth, we did not consider him very much
 Well, to make long story short, he brought in the turkey and pumpkin and other things the day before Thanksgiving and I went out home with him that night. When we stopped at big two-story white house, pret- ty outbuildings, silos, everything right up to snuff, I wondered what he was stopping for, and when he said this is niy place." was thunder

LARGEST CANNING CLUB
 STATE
(Benton Courier.


 Mrs. Fannie Nicely, Canning Club agent, has the distinction of having the largest Canning Club of any coun- ty in the state, over two hundred young ladies being members of the Saline county organization. It is hoped that the parents will lend them aid in encouraging the girls and see that they keep an up-to-date record book. Saline county is sure to profit by the good work being done through the Canning Clubs.
 Mrs. Nicely is well known in Pulaski and Perry counties, having formerly lived near Geyer Springs, and previous to her assignment to Saline county, being canning club agent in Perry county, where her husband was in the demonstration work. Her girls always are prize winners at the State Fair
