Increases Postal
Saving Deposits

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be accepted at the post
Office. This is made possible by
en- important amendment to the
Postal Savings Act just approved
bv President Wilson. postal
savings deposition may now have
an account amounting to $1,000
upon which interest Will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount he could have to his
credit. This enlargement OF
postal savings facilities will be
very gratifying to thousands OF
depositOrs who have already
reached the old $500 limit and are
anxious to entrust more OF their
savings to Uncle Sam. Another
feature of the amendment that
will avoid further embarrass menI
to the public and to postal OIL
fcials is the doing away with the
limit on the amount that could be
accepted from a deposition month
" Under the old law only 500
could be deposited i'm calendar
month. The amendment abol-
ishes this restriction. w hlc
the Postal Savings System has al
ready proved signal success as
is shown by the fact that more
that half million deposltors
have over eighty million dollars
standing to their credit, still IL
has fallen short of meeting the
full demands Of the public be
cause of the restrictions when
have now been eliminated. Post

WHY PREPARED

The United States troops were or.
dered into Mexico FIVE days ago. Sc
far as known they had not yet moved
today.
Important as this military move
ment is, requiring extreme caution,
nevertheless it is insignificant com
pared with the expedition which Ger
many sent against France during the
first week Of the war in August, 1914
At time when the world had been
in peace. the German army moved on
the shortest possible notice with an
effectiveness which the world soon
realized.
Why should the United States be
prepared? Let the Mexican affair be
the answer, says the Quincy Herald
Though we have had border troubles
for years, and though the present
military movement for many months
has been foremost in the minds Of
public men as certain TO happen, the
army was not prepared TO move when
the president gave the word. This Is
no criticism OF the men IN command
OF the troops. The caution they are
taking now viii prove most valuable
The weeks delay is an indictment Of
method OF falling TO see facts as
they are and viewing them as We
would have them be.
Why military preparation? Let
Villas killing of Americans and the
slow moving of the expedition to
punish him be the answer.

think about wife and children and
what would happen to them when he
could no longer work. He saved all he
