RUINS IN NEW MEXICO
 ARE 1000 YEARS OLD

America's original apartment house
 is located in New Mexico, in the Ami mas valley, near the Colorado bound- ary. Although at least 1000 years old it had many adjuncts of so-called modern civilization, being built of brownstone supplied with it's own temple, public dance hall, communal kitchen and burial chamber. On the ground floor alone were over 300 rooms. Excavation of this huge build ing, now under way, is the greatest work of the kind ever undertaken in America. The intention is to make this ruin our greatest permanent monument to prehistoric Americans.
 It is the property of H. D. Abrams, of Aztec, who recently gave the American Museum of Natural History in New York permission to clear out and investigate the entire wonderfully interesting ruin. AlthoughNit has as yet been only partially completed, the features of the ruin itself and the surprisingly sensational finds which have been made within it's crumbling walls have proved of such great im- portance as to surpass the most san- SuhS SAPSetatioHs VI tHc lHNcSti- gators.
 In its original condition the "Aztec Ruin" was a stately sandstone struc- ture S59 by 2S0 feet, built around a rectangular court as are many of our apartment houses of today. It's sheer outer walls rose to a height of from 35 to 40 feet, or three stories, on three sides of the rectangle, while the south wing, built low to admit sum- shine to the court was perhaps only one story high. There are more than 300 rooms on the ground floor alone, and the ceilings of these are still intact.
 The neatness and precision shown in the construction of this ancient apartment house would have been credit to workmen equipped with tools and steel, but considering the fact that every timber and each block of stone was cut with crude stone inn plements, the proportions of the task and the quality of it's performance are truly surprising. There was enough masonry in the ruin all show ing signs of packing or dressing to have built wall one foot wide and one foot high half way from New York to Philadelphia. Every stone was carried by human beings from the quarries three miles distant over a broad road bordered by winding rows of cobblestones cleared from the 1 pathway trod by the sandalled feet of | the worlmen.

CAN STILL ORDER FOOD

Postmaster Chas. H. Heisser says that the parcel post rate on surplus army food from Fl Paso, Texas, has been fixed on the first zone basis 5 cents for the first pound, and cent on each additional pound. The talk ing of orders at this post office will be continued until further notice. A quota has been allotted this city, and only one article in the list has as yet been sold out, viz: Beans. About $500 worth of these government groceries had been sold here up to yesterday noon.

 that the government, which now oper- ates the railroads, feels that the cost Of paving streets bounded by railroad property should be borne entirely by the cities interested, as it does not come under the head of railroad oper- atlng expenses. He. advised Mir. Za- laha, however, to take the matter up with the president of the Santa Fe, and give him all the particulars, in which case, he believed, the Santa Fe may be induced to stand it's share of the expense.
 The sewer contracting company was directed to put the streets back in shape just as fast as they lay the pipe.

ECONOMY, THE wATCHwoRD

A fine looking woman, handsomely gowned, stood in front of the candy counter, while busy salesgirl count ed out a hundred pink and white waters, and weighed them while 15 prospective customers waited.
 "There are fifty waters in a pound, madam" the girl said.
 q think I'll not need more than ninety" explained the woman. "All those invited will not come, and there are not quite a hundred on my list"
 "Gee," said the girl when the cus- tomer, had left, mo wonder she has such swell diamonds"

A STRING OF BEADS
 IS ALL SHE NEEDS

Women are simply bead mad.
 A modest strand of real coral rests in a showcase among other beads. This particular string is thirty-six inches long, and the beads are perfect.
 "How much are those pink beads 2" asked a woman looking for a mod crate priced graduating gift.
 Three hundred dollars" replied the saleswoman.
 And when the customer expressed astonishment, it was explained to her that they were bought in Italy, and an expert had declared that they real- ly were worth nearer thousand dol- lars.
 . But even the thought of saving $700 did not make the woman buy them.
 Jade jewelry is also having great vogue.

VERMONT BANKS SYMPATHETIC
In the Movement for Sale of U. S.
War Stamps


Waterbury, Dec. 23.--With the re-
ceipt of information from Washington
that the new 1920 war savings stamp:
will be put on sale in postoflices and
banks throughout the country on Jan
| ], extensive plans for carrying on tht
national thrift campaign in New Eng
land for the coming year are now being
made by the directors of the war say
ings division. first federal reserve dis.
| trict The 1920 war savings stamps
| are larger than those of the present
year, are carmine in color and bear a
| likeness of George Washington.
Additional endorsements of the cam.
i paign by men prominent in Vermont
banking life have been received as fol
| lows:
1T is my personal opinion that any
| suggestions that will tend to better
! banking or influence more in an effort
to save is good constructive work and
certainly is most welcome if brought
to our institution from any source
I'VE feel that educational work
which is carried on by the United
States treasury department is very
beneficial to our savings department.
We do not look at this as competitive
to our bank"
1--WE have not felt that the govern
ment was trying to injure us in any
way"
I'VE of this institution feel that the
caI Of flea nd
thrift stamps have in a measure af-
feeted adversely receipts of moneys
from our small depositors However,
our deposit account is now showing
at least some slight increase and pos
sibly the sales by the government of
its war savings certificates and thrift
may prove to be blessing in dis
guise.'
I'VE are unable to discern locally
any gain or loss in deposits traeeable
to your organization.
I'VE certainly think that anything
that helps TO save in any way also
helps savings banks
"We approve heartily of any educa-
tional campaign which will impress
Hioic hlIutS uPuh ttue van Pcoplt
the necessity of thrift and saving
"0ur only objection TO the stamps
is the money goes out Of town and we
get nothing back until they are paid.
81 do not believe that the educational
work of the United States treasury de-
partment is carried on with any appre-
cable detriment TO the savings banks
of this state. II some deposits are
lost to US others very likely are gained
through the work.
THE campaign put out by your de
partment has in no way interfered with
the savings department Of our institu
tion aud has in fact in many ways
started the idea Of thrift in the minds
Of a number Of people who heretofore
have never had savings deposit
