Last Sunday being a beautiful day
all our people took advantage and
spent the day autoing or picnicking.
Large numbers of Milwaukee people
were out and enjoyed the beautiful
woods that abound in and around
Wauwatosa.
Foreign-born persons seeking to
vote at the November election, and
who have not taken out second nat
uralization papers. must file applica-
ton for these second papers on or be-
fore June 10, according TO Charles
Mas, clerk of courts.
There are times in the work of a
newspaper man when he must be con-
trolled by his sympathies for the in
nocent ones in the publication of news.
This paper bows TO the inevitable in
such cases and is willing to accept
the criticism of some if good is ac-
complished and aching hearts are
saved further pain.
In the darkest night we may hope
for the dawn of a new day, and we
do not hope in vain. When the storm
clouds hide the suns bright face, we
know that the sun still smiles and that
those clouds will pass away. Looking
on the bright side may be old-fash-
toned and hackneyed, but it has never
failed to drive away the blues.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the postoffice.
This is made possible by an important
amendment to the Postal Savings 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 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. An
other 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
depositor monthly. Under the old
law only 800 could be deposited in a
calendar month The amendment
abolishes this restriction. While the
Postal Savings System has already
proved a signal success as is shown
by the fact that more than half mil
lion depositors have over eighty mil
lion dollars standing to their credit
still it has fallen short of meeting the
full demands of the public because of
the restrictions which have now been
eliminated. Postmaster General Bur
Lesson and Third Assistant Postmaster
General Dockery have been tireless in
their efforts to secure a modification
