Larger Postal Deposits

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post Office.
This is made possible by an import
ant amendment to the Postal Saw
ings Act just approved by President
Wilson,, A postal savings depositor
may now have an account amount
ing to 81 900 upon which interest
will be paid. Formerly $500 was
the maximum amount he could
have to his credit. This enlarge
ment 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 embarrassment to the public
and to postal officials is the doing
away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from a
deposition monthly. Under the old
law only $100 could be deposited in
a calendar month. The amendment
abolishes this restriction. While
the Postal Savings System has al
ready proved a signal success as is
shown by the fact that more than
half-a-Million depositors have over
eighty million dollars standing to
their credit, still it has fallen short
of meeting the full demands of
the public because of the restric-
tions which have now been elimi-
mated. Postmaster General Burle-
son and Third Assistant Postmaster
General Dockey have been tireless
in their efforts to secure modifi-
cation of the limitations and the
new liberalizing legislation is parti-
cularly gratifying to them.

' dj HOI6 PICNIC
Three Day Session, June 22,
% and "a.

At meeting of the Juliaetta
Commercial club it was decided to
hold three days picnic and bar
Decue and committee has been
named with C. w. Semmes as chair
man to complete the arrangements.
The dates selected are June %, 23-
and "a and the people of the entire
surrounding country are cordially
invited to visit Juliaetta and parti-
cipate in the festivities.
The Juliaetta picnic for number
of years had been one of the fixed
attractions of the Palouse country
and people visited on those occasions
from various sections. In the past
few years the picnics have been
abandoned but it is the purpose of
the Juliaetta Commercial club to
revive the affair and this year will
result in the greatest demonstration
in the history of that city.
Juliaetta is an ideal place for a
genuine old-time picnic, weather
conditions being ideal at this time
of the year and the beautiful sur
roundings making it especially
adapted for holding affairs of this
kind. The committee is already at
work securing numerous attractions
for the occasion. Undoubtedly
many people will visit the picnic
from Kendrick.

the citizens Of Genesee will be held

crowd of Genesee boosters visited
Kendrick last Friday in the interest
of the show. They came over in
cars, bringing a brass band with

The program for the three days
is very interesting one and the

grand exhibition of horses which
has made the Genesee country
famous as district of high grade
breeding animals. A big parade
will open the exercises after which
prizes will be announced. In the
afternoon the Genesee ball team
will meet the Lapwai Indians in a
match game after which other ath-
letic sports will be staged.
Friday an automobile parade will
be held and competition is keen
among auto owners which will re-
suit in some handsomely decorated
cars being in line. Business houses
promise unique floats. Liberal
prizes will be awarded in various
classes. Some unique entertain
ment will be afforded during the
afternoon in which auto owners will
participate. The preliminaries in
the wild horse race will be staged
Friday afternoon which promises to
create much interest.
Saturday, the last day of the
show, promises to be the biggest
and best from an amusement stand
point. The day will open with
real frontier life parade and con-
siderable old-time equipment will
make its appearance in the parade.
Nez Perce Indians will join the
parade and give a touch of real
border life to the event. The after
ward program will be made up of
wild west features such as bucking
contests, roping and other like
sport. The association has made
arrangements for the presence of
the Bauscher- French carnival at
fractions for three days.

box to be used in hauling loose
