THRIFT PRIZES FOR
LETTER CARRIERS

Any impression that the thrift
movement ended with the floating of
the Victory Liberty Loan Is a mis-
taken one. The government is still
actively promoting the Savings habit,
not merely for the raising of funds,
but primarily for the benefit of the
people at large.
Handsome medals have been pro-
vided by the Savings Division of the
Philadelphia Federal Reserve District
for award to three rural delivery car
riers in each county who make the
best government thrift sales records.
The competition is for the purpose
of increasing public interest In Thrift
and Savings Stamps and the new
Treasury Savings Certificates which
are offered by the government as alb
solutely safe and sure investments.
National savings are relied upon to
furnish the capital with which to e.
nance the great industrial expansion
necessary to insure continued pros
perity in the United States. Thrift
and Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates furnish an easy
method of saving in amounts of Is
cents, SIS, 500 and $1,000. Their full
value and interest is guaranteed and
they may be redeemed upon ten DAYS
notice.

rogues which must be removed The
horse can be securely muzzled to pre-
vent injury other than that occasioned
by the tramping down of plants.
1t is not profitable to rogue fields
which are intended for the production
of grain or forage. but in the produc-
ing Of seed, either for home planting
or the market, careful rougeing gives
returns both in dollars and cents and
in the satisfaction Of growing pure
seed. Sorghums being open-pollinated
are subject to almost endless hybridi-
zatlon If stray plants of other varieties
are allowed to mature In the field.
This intermixing of varieties results
in lack of uniformity In ripening as
well as In the size of the plants, thus
causing difficulty in harvesting and
marketing the crop. The use Of pure
seed varieties which are known to be
adapted to the farmers climatic condi-
tons will be rewarded in bigger and
better crops.

The sensation of taste, while of COM
mon and constant experience, is highly
complicated in its nature. What is
commonly called taste is not a simple
sensation at all, but rather a complex.
In addition to the actual functioning
OF the apparatus properly pertaining
to the sense of taste. the tongue re-
ceives impressions of various other
sorts, all of which go to make up this
complex. AS finally recorded in the
consciousness, the taste of any sub
stance has to do with Its heat or cool

acridity-which are in themselves fur

Famed Best of Noted Men

The Diamond bar, famous for nearly
30 years as part of the old Auzerais
house, of San Jose. CAL, is being fitted
up for grocery store. The Auzerais
house, on West Santa Clara street,
housed FIVE presidents of the United
States and was for time the abode of
a king. 1t was built in 1853, accord
ing to John e. Auzerais of San Jose,
and the barroom was the meeting
place for many Of the men whose
names have been written into the his
tory of California.
President Grant was entertained at
banquet In the Auzerais house In
1879. The following spring King Ka-
lakau of Hawaii was a guest, and in
September of the same year President
Hayes delivered an address from the

guest in 1891 and both Mckinley and
Roosevelt visited the famous old hotel

Mr.. Waters was successfully Asso-
ciate Sales Director Of Treasury Ger
titicates of Indebtedness, Chairman of
the Advisory Committee for Pennsyl-
vania, Victory Loan Committee, and
War Savings Director.
During Mr.. Waters term as Assoc
clate Sales Director, total of ap-
proximately one billion dollars was
raised in the Third District by sales
of Certificates, which were in the ma
ture of short term loans, enabling the
government to pursue its war poll
cies unhampered by financial consid-
erations
As Advisory Committee Chairman
for Pennsylvania during the Victory
Loan drive, Mr. Waters reorganized
the state plan of campaign. He ad-
vocated the home rule" system by
which each county was entrusted with
the conduct subject to headquarters
supervision, of its own loan cam
palgning. Mr. Walters toured the
state In support of the loan and con-
tributed such energetic leadership
that the Pennsylvania section led all
other divisions of the Third Federal
Reserve District In oversubscription
Of the loan. Every district of the
state, with two miuor exceptions In
which there were unfavorable labor
conditions, exceeded the loan quota
allotted to it. Under Mr. Waters di-
rection the state for the first time III
the loan campaigns led Philadelphia
in actual amount of oversubscrlptions.
Almost $22000,000 worth of bonds
were sold in excess of the quota of
S145. 100000
In addition to conducting the State
Victory Loan Campaign, Mr. Walters
directed the War Savings activities of
the entire Third Federal Reserve Dis
trict, which includes 4S PENNSYLVANIA
counties, 8 New Jersey counties anG
all of Delaware. He took charge IN
January, 1919, and due to the meth
DDS employed by him, public interes
in Thrift and War Savings Stamps
was maintained despite the overshad
owing competition Of the Victor,
Loan drive. Sales were encouraged
all during the loan drive and have
been steadily increasing.
Mr.. Walters opposed spectacular
methods of sale of small government
securities and worked for their dis
trtbution through public demand
based on desire to own and hold
tie securities for their legitimate in
veStment worth. He conducted a com
bined educational and sales campaign
with the result that redemptions OF
1919 Stamps In the Third Districi
have been held down to a very low
percentage of theN many millions of
dollars worth sold.

to national headquarters in an advis-
DRY capacity while serving as War

NICKEL BY NICKEL
Newspaper Man DribbIed His
Profit to Beggar.
Little Transaction by Which Scribe
Thought He Was to Make S2.65
Didn't End in Just That
Desired Way.

"a newspaper friend Of mine," said
Mr. Goslington, tells me Of an IN
usual experience he has had, in fact is
still having with al beggar.
HE met this bessar first about a
year ago. The circumstances ATTEND
ing this first meeting we're novel and
interesting and my fHend wrote lit
tie piece about II which was printed
in his newspaper and for which he
received So. AS he had given the
beggar a nickel he figured that his
net profit on this was $685. But:
"a couple of weeks later he again
met this beggar, who again asked for
a nickel, request that my friend did
not feel warranted in refusing. /
don't think he would have refused any
way, my friend being an easy mark
for beggars; but having proflted by
his original transaction with this beg
gar. he felt impelled to hand over this
second nickel promptly. thus reducing
his net on this little piece to $500.
at wasn't long before my friend
discovered that this beggar lived some
where In his neighborhood and made
that part Of the town his quarry for
now he used to meet him here and
there by intervals. Not always, by
any means, when they met did the
beggar approach him; commonly they
passed each other as any other two
might do. with no sign Of recognition !;
but once in while the beggar would
ask for a nickel, which always my
friend gave. In this way in the course
of three months he gave up 35 cents,
thus reducing the net of that So to
S265. Then my friend had an idea.
HE foresaw that If this went on
indefinitely. as there seemed every in
dication II would do, the beggar would
get all Of the So. which to my friend
seemed scarcely reasonable. But he
did think that an even division would
be no more than right to the beggar.
and so when the So got down to $2.65
he set aside. In his mind. $1.15 as a
drawing account to the beggar's credit,
and he said to himself that when thus
the original fund had been evenly d.
vided he would stop giving and con-
sider that he had done the square
thing
well. my friend tells me that, count
ing a nickel that the beggar drew yes
terday, he has now drawn $140, so
that now it is question Of a very few
weeks only, three or four at the ut
most. when the beggar will have drawn
his full share.
Then, my friend says, he is 60
ing to shut down and keep the rest
himself; but what think he will do
will be to keep on paying till the
whole three dollars is gone. his orig
inal profit being thus wiped out COM
pletely. l don't know what he can do
then, unless he should write, coveting
all his experiences with this unusual
beggar, another and longer story; NOV
ing then to another part of the city"

an abundance of shade-natural shade,
such as is furnished by trees and
bushes being the best.
Temporary Shelter.
Where natural shade and shelter are
not available, the hog owner should
put up temporary shelter by building
framework about feet high and
thoroughly covering the top with
brush. straw. grass. or hay. This mex
pensive sunshade should be of suff1-
cient size to protect herd of hogs in
comfort as they lie under 1t. As a rule,
the ordinary hog house should not be
used for shade purposes during the
summer. Each year hog mortality is

hogs In the open without sufficient pro-
lection from the rudy glow of Old

+HILLENMEYER TALKS
ABOUT tine WEATHER

H. F. Hiilenmcyer the famous
nursenyman, farmer and weather
prognosticator had the following of
interest in the Lexington Leader last
week:
Many farmers are yet interested
in the sowing of wheat and rye and
the harvesting of corn, potatoes, soy
beans, etc, and are anxious about the
character of weather that may now be
expected.
The average rainfall of November
is about 3.25 inches, of which we
have had to date 2.18 inches. 1t is
certain that should the precipitation
be ever en- inch, the soil will not dry
sufficiently to permit such work to be
completed under favorable circuu-
stances.
November lie not notable for drying
weather. Only twice in forty years has
it's rainfall been less than an inch, in
1904 and 1912. 1t is thus twenty Ia
one shot that dust will not again this
year hurry farmers.

finished fields that are TO be seeded
to grass in the spring and for this
reason they are risking long odds.
In 1894 there was no lack of oppor-
tunity to sow wheat seasonably, but
it failed to terminate until the rains
of mid December. The winter proved
severe but SHOWS prevailed and while
the outlook on March was most
discouraging, the crop when reaped
was one of the finests ever.
The rainfall of July of that year
was the largest on record over the en-.
tire Ohio valley and grain was a
loss. Wheat now sown has a more
favorable expectancy, than then, be-
cause it would at once terminate and
the more than even chances are that
winter will not shortly set in. This
opinion is based on the fact when any
area is thoroly saturated,
if mental area einoathrdluhrdlllll
if a cold wave does sweep across it.
It's precursor will be a protecting
mantle of snow. 1t is further true
that when one continent has extreme
ly severely weather, the one opposing
has not. Both of the conditions now
prevail and in this is great encourage
ment.
