BIG INCREASE IN POSTAL
SAVINGS IS NOW EXPECTED
Limit Of $500 on One Account, Fixed
Under Old Law, Raised by Amend.
ment to 81 1000.

Uncle Sans postal authorities are
anticipating big increase In the pos
tai savings deposits as result Of an
amendment to the postal savings act,
which President Wilson has just ap-
proved.
The maximum Understanding ac-
count which depositor may now
have is 1000, as against $500 under
the old law. The restriction OH the
amount that could be accepted from
depositor monthly is done away
with under the new legislation, so that
he may now deposit all or any part of
the maximum amount which may
stand to his credit
More than $4,000 depositors had
reached the $500 limit and many Of
them had expressed their desire to in
trust more OF their savings to Uncle
Sam. II has been estimated that the
restrictions on deposits have made 1t
necessary to turn away as much money
as il has been possible to accept at
depository post Offices.
The number of depositors now runs
well over half million and the de-
posts loot up over eighty million DOL.

The agricultural area OF Alaska Is
as large as the combined areas of the
states Of Pennsylvania, Maryland,

Massachusetts, Vermont and New

OF supporting a population nearly
equal to that supported by the agri.

This is one OF the interesting state

the department Of agriculture for the

33.3 Per Cent in Five Years,

The growth Of the automobile indus

according TO a statement OF the bu-

looks as though we were going to

ton is for all of us delinquents to pay
up our back room rent for fear we
will get kicked out in the, dead Of
winter. ..
Too many nickels and dimes
should not be sent out to help foreign
nations. They are getting too much
Of our grain as it is, and we need
these nickels to pay out for the ex-
ira price of food due to the shortage.
Our bodies should be well fed before
we attempt to feed others, including
the heather.
Husbands contemplating divorce
had better put it off until spring, be-
cause it is going to be a long, cold
winter, and coal is very high. In
case the wife has cold feet and in
sists on warming them up and down
hubby's back, hubby should buy
brick, not to throw, but to heat and
keep as near wifey's cold feet as pos
sible.
If WHEY gets up too frequently
during the night and allows all the
cold of the whole outside world to
freeze hubby's exposed person, he
should insist upon occupying a sep
arate budwa, rather than seeking a
divorce. -.

to kiss the milkman once in a while
