POSTAL SAVINGS NEWS

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an ac-
count in a postal savings bank after
July lst, according to an instructive
leafiet 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 commun-
tiles so sparsely settled as not to just
ify the designation Of their local post
Offices as regular postal savings banks
to open accounts by mail
Governor Dockery, 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 ac-
counts by mail that he took up the
tack some weeks ago of working out
feasible and safe method for meet
ing demand well illustrated i'm q let
ter from a Saline County Missourian,
who resides many miles from a postal
savings bank
Having few hundred dollars saw
ed from fifty years OF hard and assid-
uoss lahor and sllimping economy on
the part of my wife and myself. we
concluded to deposit it in the postal
Savings Bank of --. We wrote
to the postmaster at that place and re-
ceived reply to the effect that none
but patrons of that Office could deposit
in that Office which is very disappoint-
ing news to us Our little farm is not
large enough to support US and land
is so high that it is impossible for us
to buy more with what little we have
saved and we are so old that we can't
labor much now and we would be so
glad to lay by at least enough to put
us away in dcccncy."
Under the plan adopted by the post
master general for opening accounts
by mail an intending depositor resid-
ing where there is no regularly desig-
mated postal savings bank, will apply
TO his local postmaster who. will see
that necessary Identification data is
prepared and forwarded to nearby
postofice authorized to accept depos-
its. 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 any or all
of his postal savings by mail and on
demand together with any interest

PATS" PUPILS WILL MEET AT
EOME OF ALLEN REED.
JUNE ).

Pats" pupils will hold their TWEEN
ty-seventh annual meeting in StLouis
at the residence of Allen Reed, on
Saturday. June D. This is to be the
first meeting held in St.Louis since
1905.
Mr.. Pattengili was superintendent
of our schools for two years, coming
here in September, 1874, fresh from
the state university. In 1876 he was
elected to the Ithaca schools where
he remained eight years. A few years
later his old pupils held a reunion
which proved so enjoyable that they
have continued to meet annually, two
meetings having been held in this
city, the first at the home of the late
o. Nj. Everdon, in 1899, the second at
the home of Mrs. lola f. Lowell. Any
person who was a pupil in the ST.
Louis schools during the superintend-
ency of Mr.. Pattengill is most cor
daily invited to attend the forth-com-
ing meeting. Probably it will be sew
eral years before another meeting will
be held here. Pat" will be glad to
see large attendance of his old pu-
pills and their families.
An interesting feature of these
meetings is the reading of letters
from old schoolmates who have wan
dered far from the old camp-ground.
The singing Of the old songs, the re-
newing of old friendships, the telling
of old school day haps and mishaps
and the one o'clock eat, all go to make
"A pleasant day st. Louis Leader

Mr.. Editor-Permit me to assure
you and the city Dads of Alma, of
our appreciation of your efforts to re-
gulate traffic on your main streets,
and i'm this | think | voice the senti-
ments of the large body of farmers
who trade with your merchants and
have other business in your progress
sive city. ! Gam aware that some
farmers resent intrusion upon their
custom of driving hither and thither
upon the busy streets and must con-
fess that at first | was myself inclined
to "balk" when politely requested to
keep to the right" but as | become
accustomed to the rules and know the
reason for them | can see that the
benefit is almost entirely on my side.
The autos seem to take care of them
selves alright and when anything hap
pens, notice it is usually a wheel off
wagon or buggy rather than fend-
el off a machine. Who's TO blame? :?
Usually hard TO tell, but we always
know who has TO stand the damage.
But the great benefit to be derived
is the ease with which we can get
around in a busy street. We know
Just where every team and auto ought
to 90 and if they always keep their
proper place there will be little con
fusion and no injuries.
Now those barrels. That is tip
top notion. hope you make them
permanent. AT first thought them
crazy, but they're all OK. They keep
the traffic i'm proper place and while
it takes a little longer time to make
the turn, it spells safety first and
no mistake.
Just question Mr. Editor, and a
suggestion and then I'm done. What
about pedestrians What right have
they on your streets? Perhaps you
can give US a little information.
Now | want to make suggestion
to you and another 10 my fellow
farmers. To you: Enforce the rules.
See that the autos drive slow. That
may not always mean strictly within
the law under penalty of fine or worse
but reasonable. | believe the rule is
that autos should not move faster than
is reasonable and prudent, having re-
gard to conditions obtaining at the
time. So that ten miles an hour
might be unlawful on busy street,
might easily be altogether to fast
Your auto owners should adopt the
rule safety first, and if they find it
hard to learn take a lesson or two
from the City Judge.
Fellow farmers: Get into the game
The rules are as much for our benefit
as anyone, and lets keep what we can.
Keep headed right, in the line of traf-
fc. Hitch on n side street if we are to
be in town for any length of time. And
if We'll all pull together. We will en-

SOME FORMS OF RHEUMATISM
CVJRABIE

Rheumatism is disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms
are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism
Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic Rheu-
matism and Lumbago. All of these
types can be helped absolutely by ap-
plying some good liniment that pene-
trates. An application of Sloan's Lin
iment is good for pain, and especially
Rheumatic pain, because it penetrates
to the seat of the trouble, soothes the
afflicted part and draws the pain.

THIRTIETH CONVENTION

POMpEII

Under efficient leadership of Mrs,
Myrta Youngs, President, very help
full and inspiring program consisting
of reports, addresses, etc. was carried
out, May 1874 at Pompeii This con-
vention was reported, by the four AL
ma ladies who attended, Mrs. G. l..
Wood, Mrs. f. c. Crandell, Mrs. S. A.
Wilson and Mrs. James Miller, at the
afternoon.
Report was as follows: The con-
vention was presided over by Mrs. My
rita Youngs, who has been our presi-
dent for three years. Among the
speakers were Mrs. Norma Nudge of
st. Louis, president of the eighth dis
trict, and our much loved and admired
state president, Mrs. +. l.. Calkins of
Battle Greek. We were welcomed in
behalf of the town by Mrs. Foster, for
the churches by Rev. Biery and for
the local union by Mrs. Mary Seamon.
All of the speakers expressed them
selves in a very happy manner and
gave us a sincere and most royal wei
come
On Thursday morning was the APP
pointmcnt OF the committee, and mis-
cellaneous business. In the afternoon,
Mrs. Nudge read a very fine paper,
the main thought of which was, Just
as long as there are boys and girls,
just so long must we be working. The
time has gone by when the enemy can
swear and say no one but few wo-
men are trying to do anything. Some
of the brightest and best men are in
the fight to finish. This is the slo-
gan, Forward to do the best you can,
Today is yours. Tomorrow may belong
to the past"

ton" was a fine talk given by Mrs.

great tabernacle tremble, poured forth
strains that were an inspiration and

The Columbia choruses composed of
young people of Atlanta who had been

and songs. One in particular. in which
young man pictured the cunning and
trickery of the liquor traffic, ten child
ren responding with appropriate ges-
lures at the end of each stanza, "And
old alcohol'll get you If you don't
watch out"
THE song to the Flags" aroused all
the patriotism within us and we were
led to think of Miss Willard's words,
"Oh, Holy Flag" and exclaim. long
may it wave o'er the land of the free"
Another splendid thing was the cho-
rus of one hundred students Of the

who occupied the choir loft one even
