Rounds Ladies Orchestra
 Next Lyceum Number.

The Towanda. Pa., Review has the following to say of our next Lyceum number, which will be given the first week in December:
 The entertainment in the First M. F.. church last evening by H. o. Rounds and his All-St Specially company was of very high grade. Mir. Rounds is an entertainer of ability. his singing and story telling being feature of the entertainment. His talented wife. Flora Sprague Rounds. proved to be a wonderful drummer, and no one who heard her will dispute the claim that she is the greatest lady drummer in the world. Her bell solos were better than the average. The numbers by the ladies orchestra were excellent, as were the vocal solos, duets. quartets and choruses It was one of the best musical entertainments ever given in Towanda and if Mir. Rounds and his company should ever come back 1t would be necessary to hang out the 'standing room sign.

Dermott Democrats Please
 Take Notice.

The local finance committee is in receipt of an appeal from the National Democratic Committee for aid in meet ing $3O0, 900 deficit in the expenses of 4he campain for the reelection of President Wilson. Twenty thousand cities and towns in the United States have been asked to contribute sl00 each toward making up this amount, Dermott has been placed on this list. along with Little Rock, Hot Springs and the other cities of the state, and the local committee would like to suggest and urge that we live up to our rep utation and raise the amount re- quested.
 We do not want to be 'pikers' and fall down on this simply because we have already gotten what we want. There are a good many Dermott dem ocrats who have contributed nothing at all towards the campaign expenses. and every one who is glad President Wilson was re e-elected should show his appreciation of the splendid work of his campaign managers by contributing towards this fund.
 Contributions way be left with either ,h the undersigned or with Henry Bor- deaux at Bordeaux Drug Store.

NEWS BULLETIN

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be placed 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 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 pos
tai savings facilities will be very
gratifying to thousands of deposit
ors who have already reached the
old $500 limit and are anxious to
entrust more of their savings to I'm
Gle 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 deposition
monthly. Under the old law only
500 could be deposited in a calen=
dar month. The amendment abol-
ishes this restriction. While the pos
tai savings system has already prov
ed signal success as Is shown by
tie fact that more than half-a-mil
lion depositors have over eighty mil
lion dollars standing to their credit,
18TH it has fallen short of meeting
ing the full demands of the public
because of the restrictions which
have now been eliminated. Postmas-
ter General Burleson and Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Dockey
have been tireless in their efforts to
secure modification of the limita-
lions and the new 1iberalizing leg
islation is particularly gratifying to
them.
