REDUCED RATE FOR
 SHORT NIGHT TELEGRAMS

Postmaster General BtirfeSon has an bounced 8 scale of greatly reduced -ates for sifort over night messages,
 s distinguished from the longer night letters. Tle new rates go into ef- feet on January list and should prove to be of great value in conjunction with short communications which should not sufIer the delays inherent tn physical transportation by the rail-
 way mall service but which are not of sufficient Urgency or importance to. warrant the. payment Of the minimum charges heretofore in effect for tele- graphic transmission.
 Under the rev schedule short over-
 night messages may be sent a con-
 siderable distance for as low as %
 cents, while the rate is only 50 cents
 as against q dollar maxiHaun1 which has prevailed Manager Case of the local Western Union office advises that this new night message service does not interfere in any way with the pop ular night letter service, but is in- tended to slppiant it ia conjunction l with shorter communications which have been going by mail but which should desfrably go by telegraph. Now l that the teieeraphs arc operated as

BANKS BROWN ON
 GIFTS OF GOLD

NIT ! . VT NAO@1
 The use of gold coin for Christmas gifts is not popular stunt at the present time and has not been since the war started. The banks are froWn- ing on the distribution of gold coin which is used for reserve for foreign trade, etc. The banks did not give out any gold coins last Christmas, and are not giving out any this time either. The banks Nell us that gold is wanted
 In explanation the federal reserve board, in a circular letter, says that there is still some objection to the use of gold coin for Christmas gifts, for the reason that they Are not yet through with war financing and the problems that grow out of the war and reconstruction will be live one for some years to come.
 At the preesnt time there is a world wide movement to discourage the use of gold coin as 8 circulating medium It should be kept as a bank reserve The board suggests that new bills car be obtained and Liberty bonds, wHi savings certificates could be very prop erly used for gifts.
 The federal reserve banks follow this up and has sent out & circulal letter to all member banks endorsing the view of the federal reserve boart and adds: "The possibility that il view of the armistice there might de velop a. general feeling that the. occa sion for restraint had passed pronpt us to state that we feel it would b, unwise for banks to encourage or ia
 ciiitate dissipation of any part of tn
 basic reserves of the country by over counter payments of gold for holida. purposes or otherwise"
