Hand Gre ade Banks
for School Gard eners

= r
The National government Is offering
a new opportunity for the soldiers Of
the United States School Garden army
TO be of service to their country, and
yet to enter into campaign that will
be OF value to themselves. You arc
making gardens for the purpose OF
learning to grow plants, Of supplying
food. OF having fun, and OF earning
money. When the money is earned
some OF 1t should be saved. One Of our
greatest bankers has said, ut is hard
to earn money, 1t Is harder to save 1t,
and 1t is hardest Of all to invest It
wisely" Joining the United States
School Garden army and producing
vegetables is helping you to earn mon
ey. AS the money Is earned, save 1t.
Uncle Sam has devised a plan to help
you invest 1t wisely. Every United
States School Garden army soldier
should buy War Savings stamps and
earn hand grenade bank.
Under the direction of the Savings
directors of the twelve Federal Re.
serve. districts the following plans
have been worked out for the distri-
button of the grenade banks.
1. Every boy or girl must earn the
money himself or herself.
2. A story must be written telling
how the money is earned.
3. The money must be earned dur.
ing the garden season.
4. Pupils under ten years of age
must earn enough money to buy one
War Savings stamp that costs $4.1s in
July and 1920 when school is opened
in September. Pupils over ten years
OF age must earn two War Savings
stamps in order to obtain a grenade
bank.
Now is the time to decide to get a
grenade bank Better cut this piece
out of your paper SO you will be sure
to remember the plan. When you get
your grenade bank, let me know as |
want to report your name to the 1nte-
rior deartment of the United States
government

News from Washington Is
That New Location Will
Be on Fifth, Across from
HetZePs . Photo Gallery

FL Centros new postoffice will be To-
Gated on Fifth street between Main and
State streets, across from the Leo Het-
eel Photo Shop, according to inside
news reaching the city today from
Washington.
Postmaster Charles Collins when in
formed that the postoffice would be To-
Gated there said:
II am waiting from a wire from
Washington which will designate the
location. | cannot say where it will be
located. Any location that the govern
ment sees fit to approve will be accept
able to me. The new location l believe,
will be such that as many, if not more,
business men can be efficiently accom-
modated than is the case at present.
Just as quick as / receive official news
of where the new postoffice will be To-
Gated, will be glad to make it public"
Two postoffice inspectors recently in
the city, it is understood, placed their
approval on the new site and Congress-
man Wm. Kettner is also said to have
approved, it although there has been no
public statement.
Further significance to the news that
it had been definitely selected was add
ed by the information that the business
men backing the Fifth street site, have
closed the deal for the property and
that plans and specifications have al
ready been drawn and approved.
All that remains is the official wire
from Washington saying that the site
has been formally approved and this is
expected in the course of few days.
The new site will mean the moving
from the present office on Main street
to one on Fifth street.
