The Postal Savings System.

Inc fOStdl Savings oyStems
Every person in the United
States ten years old or over may
open an account in a postals saw
ings bank after July l, according
to an instructive leafet on the
Postal Savings System just is
sued by Postmaster General Burl-
eson. This important extension
of the service will be made pos
sible by permitting persons liv-
ing in communities so sparsely
settled as not to justify the desig-
nation of their local post offices
as regular postal savings banks
to open accounts by mail.
Governor Dockery. Third As
sistant Postmaster General, who
has direct supervision of postal
savings, was SO impressed by ap-
peals from all over the country
to open postal savings accounts
by mail that he took up the task
some weeks ago of working out
a feasible and safe method for
meeting a demand well illustrat-
ed in a letter from a Saline Coun-
ty Missourian, who resides many
miles from a postal savings bank.
Having a few hundred dol
lars saved from fifty years of
hard and assiduous labor and
skipping economy on the part of
my wife and myself, we conclud-
ed to deposit it in the Postal Saw
ings Bank of We wrote
to the postmaster at that place
and received reply to the effect
that none but patrons of that
office could deposit in that office
which is very disappointing news
to us. Our little farEl is not
large enough to support US and
land is so high that it is impos-
sible 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 decency."
Under the plan adopted by the
Postmaster General for opening
accounts by mail an intending

is no regularly designated 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 intend

ing depositor will then be given
permission to forward his first
and subsequent deposits by mon
ey order or registered mail direct
to the postmaster at the banking
point for which receipts or GER
tifcates will be issued. He may
Withdraw all or any part of his
postal savings by mail and on
demand together with any inter-
est that may be due him.
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 of control or inter-
ference by her husband; that
post Office officials are forbidden
to disclose to any person. except
the depositor, the amount of any
deposits; that Withdrawals may
be made without previous notice;
and that the Government guaran-
tees to repay all deposits on de-
mand with accrued interest.
The leafiet will soon be print
ed in q foreign languages for
distribution through local post
offices. The foreign-born citizen
has taken very kindly to postal
savings, and literature in his
own language will be of great
assistance to him. In a recent
article, Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson commented on the foreign
born depositor as follows:
Upwards of 100000 deposit
tiers now have accounts in the
Postal Savings System and they
represent every nationality on
the earth. They also represent
almost every known occupation.
But the majority are wage-earn-
ers, and Of this class the foreign
born largely predominant. A
census of depositors taken by
the Post Office Department shows
that approximately 40 per cent

and good faith of their adopted

pupils. The present intention is
to use a little more than half of
the basement as lunch rooms and
Fairgrounds for rainy days. 1t
is to be finished with a concrete
floor, and separate apartments
to be made for the boys and girls.
The new building stands in
about $50 feet of the old high
school building. which is also a
brick structure of two stories.
BY over-crowding the old build
ing it has been made to accomo-
date about $50 pupils, but its
comfortable capacity is perhaps
a little less than 200.
Thus Colfax will soon be pre-
pared to comfortably house all
the schoolable children we are
likely to have to care for within
the next decade. The contract
for the new school building calls
for its completion in August,
about twenty days before the
opening of the term of school in
September, and the indications
are that it will be completed on
time.

Some time since the writer ad-
dressed a letter to Gov. Hall, ask
ing what provision would be
made for people who could not
pay their taxes under the pre-
vailing conditions. The answer
was 'diversiication. - Well, l

could diversification in 1915 help

as the old preacher had in the
Bible, of whom it is related told
some boys of the Bible lesson he
was going to read in the morn
ing. The boys, finding the place,
glued together the connecting
pages. The next morning he
read at the bottom of one page:
When Noah was one hundred
and twenty years old he took un-
to himself a wife who was
then turning a page-''140 cubits
long, 40 cubits wide, built of
gopher wood. and covered with
pitch inside and out" He was
naturally puzzled at this. He
read it again, verified it, and
then said: my friends, this is
the first time l ever met this in
the Bible, but / accept this as an
evidence of the assertion that we
are fearfully and wonderfully
made"
l know Investigation is good
advice, but what about transpor-
tation? Will your L. R. & N.
give you living rates? The Tex
as and Pacific received thousands
of acres of the finest timbered
land in the south. yet will not
carry a pound of onions, pota-
toes. or produce of any kind at a
reasonable rate. doubt if they
carry it at all. yet they bring
from California produce and
fruits raised by irrigation at
rates these people can afford to
ship by. The Southern Pacific
does the same.
Now. let US enumerate the
things brought here from Cali
fornia and the west. Colorado,
etc: Irish potatoes. cabbage,
turnips, ruta bagas, peas, beans,
rice. fruit of all kinds-and these
farmers buy them. Now, the
plan is to unite on some basis, a
cooperative basis; raise things
here and sell them. That's the
plan. The agricultural depart
ment of the U. S. is doing every
thing they can to aid these peo-
pie by advice. We need a Moses
to lead us out of the wilderness.
