LARGER DEPOSITS

Larger postal savings deposits
will now DE accepted at the post
office. This is made possible by
an important amendment to the
Postal Savings Act just approved
by President Wilson. A postal
savings depos,tor may now have
an account amounting TO 81, zoe
upon which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount ne could have to bis
credit. This enlargement of
postal saving facilities viii be
very CRAFTY ing 10 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 amend
ment that will avoid difficulty
to the pItlic and to postal Off
cials is the doing away with the
limit on the amount that con d
be accepted from a deposi.o,
monthly. Under the old law
only 500 could be deposited IL
calendar month. The amend
ment abolisheS this restriction.
While the Postal Savings System
has already proved a signal sue.
cess as is shown by the fact that
more than half-a-million deposi-
tors have over eighty million
dollars standing to their credit.
still it has fallen short of meet
ing the full demands of the pub
lie because of the restrictions
which have now been eliminated.
Postmaster General Burleson and
Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Dockery have been tireless
in their efforts to secure a modi-
fication of the limitations and the
new liberalizing legislation is
particularly gratifying to them,

The Old Water GOurd

tbs a caper Of the memory Bill.
Which makes you often bored
And a longing in rour heart Bill,
For the old water gourl.
Just to drink, drink and drink
From its light and velvet brink.
A fortunes gained, life restored
When you take a drink rom the
water gourd.
We boys spent hours in the
chase
For real life we yedrdea.
Mid raids we made on the or
chard shade,
When grand-pap's back was
turned.
Oft in the littie log school house
With its curly white OK board,
With life and zest to our lips we
pressed,
The old water gourd.
Just to drink, drink and drink,
From it's light and lighter brink;
Our balance gained, our hope
restored,
While we take a drink from the
water gourd.
Now could the gold of a miser,
Bill,
Though millions he might hoard
Buy for us the memories Ct
The old water gourd?
Those joyous hours are gone, Bill,
And many q storm has roared,
Since the gallant day of the pio-
neer and the Old water gourd.
When he'd drink, drink and drink
From its pure and honest brink
New vigor gained, his nerve re-
stored.
While he drank again from the
water gourd.
1t bears to me a message Bill,
Which | am glad to find,
Tis not for self to live at all:
But only to be kind.
If love, JOY and peace Bill,
Into your own life has poured.
Just pass it on in measures like
The old water gourd.
To our good brothers everywhere
Here's my greeting, my prayer.
Let all shadows be ignored,
And drink your 'healths" from
the water gourd.
