Increased Business Raises
Postmaster Salary

The receipts for the American Fork
post Office totals $5.06ls9 for the
twelve months ending Dec. 81, 1915.
The postmaster's salary for the past
year is based on receipts OF $4,000.
This increase Of $500 will mean n
raise of 800 in the postmasters salary
for the coming year AS It is gener-
ally conceded that post Office receipts
are fair barometer of business con-
ditions. Il Is an evidence that the BUSH
ness OF this city Is making a satisfac-
tory growth. When the gross receipts
Of this Office reaches 10000, American
Fork will be entitled to free city
delivery With the development OF our
mines this is not an improbable con-
dition within the next few years.

Bay State Contracts For
Extension Of Tunnel
Win Also Continue Prospecting Big
Fissure.

The BAY State Mining Company this
eek let a contract ~ Jack Crystal
nd l.. J. Campbell to extend the Kel-
~ or lower tunnel 100 feet farther
ITO the hill. This tunnel Is now In
40 feet and the contract will take
he face past the porphyry dyke,
which showed good values In anti
mony on the surface. The prospect
ing of the porphyry dyke for anti
mony Is but side issue, as the inter-
cepting OF the big ore-bearing fissure
$50 to 200 feet ahead is the objective
point. The contract will take the
tunnels face not far away.
The Bay State people struck some
of the best ore found In the canyon
this summer In big well defined fis-
sure. Manager George Tyler and
Fon Chapman will continue to pros
peot this new find while the contrac.
tors push the lower tunnel. The Bay
state has recently secured the neces'
sary finances to continue work al
winter and by spring hope to see thii
promising property on the shippint
list.

BIG CHANGE IN POLICY
For American Fork Business
Houses.

Commencing Tuesday, February /,
1916, the majority of American Fork
business houses will adopt a pay-as-
you-go business. There will be no
more individual credit. The customers
Will be asked to help the merchants
TO carry out this splendid plan; they
promise In return that they will make
reduction I'm harmony with the cash
business. They believe they can make
1t q mutual affair for the customer as
well as themselves Many expenses
can be cut down under cash bust
ness and the customers are to share in
these reductions
There are a great many persons
who run accounts that are perfectly
able to pay as they go. but have
formed the habit Of having everything
charged They will not spend so
much under the cash system, and that
will We a benefit TO them. There are

There is third class who are con-
tinually trying to get into every mer-
chant. and from their actions It would
seem they never intended to pay them
when they get the goods. The person
who pays as he goes pays for these
bad actors. So this change will be n
great benefit to every class. The cash
system should mean less prices and
more satisfaction all around. The
stores are to continue as usual to
market the produce. butter, eggs
chickens, hay. grain. etc. The en-
ployes will be treated the same as the
other customers and there will be on.

Taking the Home
Paper.

Do you know of a person in
this whole community who would
be willing to 60 through life
month by month and year by year
without a knowledge of the news
features of the township in which
he resides9 Would you like to be
that person? 1t is difficult to
convince the average reader of
the real value of his home paper
unless he has at some time or
other been forced to do without
it. Then it is that its value is
brought home to them. Most
people subscribe for the home
paper, read it, enjoy it, and alb
sorb the news it contains as 4
matter of course, giving scarcely
q thought to the vast amount OF
labor entailed in the production
of the issue. And yet that issue
means a tremendous concentra. t.
tion of thought and energy and
perseverance on the part of both
the editor and his entire force of
employees. The work thus rep.
resented on an issue of this paper,
for instance, costs the reader a
very few cents. Would you like
to fill the editors shoes for a
week, or a month, or permanent
ly? Would you consider that the
labor thus involved had met with
just compensation?

Must Have Sewers.

Baxter Springs must have q
sewer system. The way to &c
about il is on the petition plan.
Pick out the district the sewers
should be built In, petition the
city council to declare 4 benefit
district, and order the sewers
built. The property benefited
will have to pay the cost, and
this can be paid with tax bills
strung out over a period of years
at 4 low rate of interest. Plenty
of contractors will do the work
on terms of that sort. All the
city would have to build would
be where the mains cross the
streets, and the city can very
easily do that. If we are to have
a really good town we must have
sewer systems. The ultra con-
servative fellows who never want
to spend a dollar must be shelved,
or sat on. The town must be
pushed to the front now-today.
Outsiders are developing the ter
ritory adjacent to the town. We
people in town must develop the
town, and make it a good place
for people to live. There is not
another town in the world where
a sewer system could be put in
as cheaply.
We trust the commercial club
will take this matter up right
away. 1t should not be delayed
another day.
Let's step along.
Are you with US in this move?
The columns of the News are
still open for suggestions.

The soldier boys who have
passed through this city this
week on their way to the border
of Mexico have little realization
of what they may be going up
against. Many of them nave
never roughed it, and certainly
they are not fit subjects to go
against the climate of Mexico.
1t may seem like a play spell
to them, while making the trip,
although they looked worn when
they passed through here. Some
of them said when they left New
York state they wore overcoa Is.
By the time they reached Baxter
Springs they had shed all tn e
clothes they could and look de.
cent. The waters down in Mex.
leo are not conducive to good
