 With less than three weeks of the fiscal year remaining, records at the post office indicate that the business for the twelve months ending March 31 will total approximately $11,5OO, @s11hstantial increase over the receipts Hast year.
 Keeping step with the manufactur- ing concerns and other business enter nriscs the post office has shown a grat- living gain over the corresponding ncriod of the last fiscal year every month for some time and the cHpec- tations arc that Postmaster Prior's an nual report will show record breaking receipts.
 Postal business is considered novcr-failing barometer of lhduStrlai conditions and the statement for the fiscal year now drawing to a close will show that Plainville was not overlooked in the distribution of pros perity since the advent of good times in the country.
 The prospects for the coming year are regarded as very bright and there is reason to believe that the office will show d continued gain for some time to come.

CLOSELY IDENTIFIED
WITH STANDARD OIL

John u. Archbnld was almost as
closely identified with the history Of

the trust formed in 1852, he alone
remained in this capacity until its
dissolution in 1871 at the order of the
United States Supreme Court, and il
was he who was named to engineer
the dissolution. after which he became
president and director OF the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. He was
the most active and aggressive fighter
IN the OF! combine. and invariably rem
resented the Standard oil on the wit
ness stand in tho numerous hearings in
connection with Tie governments suit
to dissolve it.
This publicity was heightened SIN
further by the publication Of ii score. or

Ohio: Representative Joseph C. SibI.y.

Mr.. Archbold was one Of tho best
