MRS. VIM. MAR TIN.

On May thirteenth, at nine o'clock in the evening the death angel again visited the home of the late William Martin and this time it took the de devoted wife to join the husband who had gone before on the thirteenth of January.
 Mrs. Martins maiden name was Nancy Johns. She was born in Indi- ana February 27, 1S44, and was unit ed in marriage to William Martin on July ', 1859. Their married life was long and unusually happy one.
 Now both parents are gone, leaving the two sons, William of Santa Ana, California, James E. and daughter Sarah, wife of J NJ. Hewitt of this place. In the loss of the mother they have also lost the home; for home is not home if mothers not there.
 Mrs. Martin has been a constant, though patient sufferer since her hus- bands death and many times ex- Pl C79Vu ct dtolIS to SO. fAl one IIlut it seemed the end was near. She said, Ali my trials are over but She fingered several days-now All her labors ended-earth' $ lead
 crown laid down
 Love hath called her to receive
 Loves crown;
 No more in the gloom of fading years Will she tread earth's vale, shadow
 ed with tears. ,
 If it were not for the serroWing ones who are left, it would be sweet Ito think Of her as resting so close by the side of him with whom she walk led for more than half a century.
 Of Mrs. Martin it can be truly said, she hath not lived in vain; no lone went hungry from her door and Ia smile and kind word greeted ev- cry one, even in her deepest suffer ing and sorrow. The grandchildren of whom there are only four living here, the other two in California will greatly miss her for to them there was no place like Grandma Martins. Everything that could be ldone to make children happy was done there.
 It is not enly the members Of the family who feel the great loss, as her friends were many among both Iold and young. XX

Just what effect the following dis patch will have on the Italians at Tontitown, a settlement near here is a matter of conjecture. \ majority of these Italians who were born in Italy have taken out naturalization papers.

Total .. .. 38

The shipment of strawberries in car lots by the Springdale Berry Growers Association and Shippers Union was brought to close We'd nesday evening, with shipment for the entire season of 38 cars. The last car going out Wednesday even ing. being made up by members of both organizations.
 It has been estimated that the rains of last week curtailed the shipment from this section at least ten cars. and possibly more. The price has been extra good for the stock offered, end although some what sandy the Arkansas berries have held up well in comparison with berries that are now being shipped out of Missouri.
 Most all the commission men, who had been here buying in ear lots left Springdale latter part Of last week, most all going to Monett

All in all the season has been money maker for the grower, the price ef berries has been good, and but for the rain, a much more handsome profit would have been netted by the growers. As it Is the crop has brought sever al thousand dollars into Springdale and nearby sections.
 Cherries were on the market fore part Of the week, several cases go- ing out by express, $2.00 per crate being the price. The crop of cher rles this year is extra heavy in all sections, and 1t is predicted that the express shipments of this fruit will be somewhat large
 Berries for canning purposes are now being offered by the growers for S1.00 per case for Klondyke, and S1 25 for Aromas.

POSTAL SAY.
 ING SYSTEM
Soon Be Possible for Persons Re siding Anywhere to Open an
 Account.

Every person in the United States ten years old or over may open an account in postal savings bank after July 1st, according to an instructive leaflet on the Postal Saving System just issued by Postmaster General Burleson. This important extension of the service will be made possi- ble by permitting persons living iu communities so sparsely settled a1 hot to justify the designation of their local post offices as regular postal savings banks To open accounts by mail.
 Governor Cookery, Third Assistant Postmaster General. who has direct supervision of postal savings, was so impressed by appeals from all over the country to open postal savings task some weeks ago of working out d feasible and safe method for meet ing demand well Illustrated in letter from Saline County Missour- ian, who resides many miles from postal savings bank
 Having a few hundred dollars sayed from fifty years of hard and assiduous labor and skimping econ omy on the part of my wife and my. self, we concluded to deposit 1t in the Postal Savings Bank of w wrote to the postmaster at that plac1 and received reply to the effect that none but patrons Of that office couIu deposit in that office which is very disappointing news to us. Our littis farm is not large enough to support Us and land js high that it is im- possible for Us to buy more with whx little we have saved and we are D old that we can laber much now and We would be soZgiad to lay by at least enough to put us away in de cency.'
 Under the plan adopted by the Postmaster General for opening ac- counts by mail an intending deposito residing where there is no regularly designated postal savings bank, will apply to local postmaster who win see that necessary identification datn is prepared and sent to a nearby postosfice authorized to accept do deposits. The intending depositor will then be given permission to forward his first and subsequent deposits hQ nr1a nr roo ct sT@ rect to the postmaster at the bank. ing point for which receipts or certi> ficates will be issued He may vith> draw all or any part of his postn
 ayings by mail and on demand tD- gether with any interest that mi be due him.
 The new leaflet points out that anU person ten years old or over may open an account in his or her own name; that an account may be O. ened by married woman free from any control or interference by hR husband; that post office officials Qe forbidden to disclose to any per~n, except the depositor, the amount 6, any deposits; that withdrawals my be made without previous noet0e and that the Government guaranta0 to repay all deposits on demand wflk accrued interest
 Postal savings receipts have brok- en all records the past year. During the eight months prior to April In there was a net gain in deposits m $19, 100000, as against gain of ss.- 000,0 for the same months the year before. Thousands of new accounts have been opened and the millions made up largely Of hidden savings have been turned back into the chan nels Of trade just at time when there was pressing demand for everJ dollar.

Twin Falls Section No Longer
In Arid Region
RAINFALL OF ONE MONTH GREAT
Err THAN TOTAL YEARLY FALL
Twenty -Four Out of Twenty Days
OF the Month Rainy for Twin Falls
Section.

With total precipitation exceed
ing that for many normal years, so
far has been the wettest month in the
ten years history of this section. Even
the old timers have no story which will
duplicate the records of the govern
ment for this month with only twenty
five days elapsing.
Estimates place the total precipi-
tation for the month at about nine
inches Government reports will
probably show slightly more. This
for an arid country, where the liquid
must be brought to us in bitches. Out
of total of twenty-five days, twenty
four have had at least some rainfall.
Today, the twenty-fifth, being the first
clear day for the entire month.
But the rain has been worth mil
lion dollars to the ranchers of this
section of the Snake river valley and
to the settlers of the Salmon river
tract it has meant their salvation in
giving the sprouting crops of grains
and grasses thorough soaking and
thus conserving the small amount OF
stored irrigation water until needed
| forty to fifty days hence. The cloudy
weather between rains allowed the
moisture to sink in and thus give the
best kind of spring growth to ia
many dry farms surrounding the T..
rigated section on the east and south.

ing This Week.

Manager Lavering, of the Lavering
theatre, is featuring for this week
five big acts from the Ptantages circuit

whether the people here will support

big attractions, are the four Bonnells,
musical artists with full scenic equip
ment; Captain and Marie Lawrence,
featuring the military costumes CT the
warning powers introducing several
new military stunts; Gordon and Re-
vini, in a big acrobatic act, that pleases

similar ATTRACTIONS during the dull
season of the theatrical world The
prices have been set at moderate
price in order to accommodate the
pocket books of all.
