poultry business at present the most
profitable branch OF farming and
therefore II is probable that farmers
will increase the size OF their flocks
during the coming year. This would
rcSul, iii over production and would
cause falling prices IN poultry and

suited in falling prices of many farm
products. Nhcn bushel of corn

Is something wrong with the price of
corn. The present relationship is
caused by over-production of corn
with a comparatively small produc-

POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM

The United States Postal Savings
System is today making it's tenth
anniversary by issuing a new postal
savings card which will displace the
ten-cent postal savings card which
has been in use since the establish
ment of the System on January /,
1911.
The new card will be furnished free
of cost and when 10-cent postal saw
ings stamps have been affixed to it
will be accepted at any depository Of
flee as a deposit of 81 or it may be re-
deemed in cash. The outstanding
feature of the new card is the trans
lation into twenty-four foreign Ian
guages of the statement of the faith
of the United States is solemnly
pledged to the payment of deposits
made with the System.
The Service was first established
at forty-eight post offices, one in
each state, on January 1, 1911, and
although hampered by many restric-
tions as to the rate of interest and
maximum amount allowed on deposit
it has shown remarkable progress
Postmaster General Burleson an
nounces that the amount on deposit
today is more than $162,000,000 and
it's depositors have long since passed
the one-half million mark.
AS predicted by its proponents in
the days before the passage of the
original Postal Savings Act, our
foreign born citizens have been the
principal patrons of the System
Taught in their native countries to
look to the Government to safeguard
their savings, they naturally expect
this Government to do likewise. In
the present flood tide of immigra-
ton, each newcomer as he leaves the
port of entry, receives leaflet in his
own language outlining the method
of operation of the United States
Postal Savings System and urging up
on him the desirability of continuing
in this country the practice of thrift
which has been so necessary in the
country he has just left. The Service
is, therefore, one of the most potent
factors in furnishing the Americana
zation movement
Many banks, usually savings banks,
prior to the establishment of the Sys-
tenn felt that the Postal Savings Sys-
tenn would be strong competitor but

Savings System draws iits patrons
not from depoSitors in established and
well-conducted banks but from among
those who otherwise would not place
their money in any banking institu-
tion whatever.
The original act of Congress re-
stricted the total amount to be plac-
ed on deposit at $500 and the deposit
Of this amount was limited to not
more than 500 per month. Later the
monthly limitation was entirely re-
moved and the maximum amount in
creased first to $1,000 and then to the
present amount, $4,000. Postmaster
General Burleson, in the annual report
just submitted to Congress, recon-
mends increasing the rate of interes
to be paid depositors and action by
Congress will, no doubt, be taken alon.

TRANSPORTATION ONE OF LIFE
NECESSITIES

Transportation is one of the great
est necessities of life.
We require food, fuel, clothing, shell
ter and transportation Without
transportation, the other necessities
could not be distributed.
Transportation moves the seed t.
the farm and the crops away. !
moves food and clothing to merchants
stores and distributes them among tn
people who need them 1t move
materials for building purposes.
Without transportation our citiez
would wither and die; people would
starve. Without transportation the
farmer would have to learn again how
to make his own clothing.
The railroad stands foremost be
cause it gives every man the. advan
tage of directing to the best marke
the commodity he sells, whether |
be product of the soil or factory, or
mans own labor.
1t stands foremost because 1t is
closer to the needs of the individual
than any other efficient transpo-ta-
tion means yet invented.

 Fenninger professes to have dis covered the key to the hiding place of the gold, which. he says, was bur- jed in the White River country more than 15e years ago
 The key to the location of the cache was iscovered by accident, says Fenninger.
 'I knew nothing Of the buried a squirrel hunting trip last faI1,'' says Fenninger. Across the river from the bluff I stumbled over a stone covered with strange hieroglyphics. I scraped the dirt and moss from the inscriptions and called the attention of g. native to the find.

Searching parties, he said. had been covering the country every year since the Spaniards left

 BLOOM TRIMMING

Sodier Bartfeld won the judges decision over Phil Bloom after twelve rounds of lively milling before the Broadway Exhibition Club in Brook lyn, yesterday afternoon.
 Bloom opened up with a sensational exhibition of cleverness that made the veteran Soldier look decidedly awk- ward dItng the first six rounds. He smothered Bartf1eld's rushes and turn ed off his heavy drives with fault less defense. When the seventh round began, however, it was appar- ent that Phil had used up everything he had in the way of strength and stamina in the first half of the fight and from that time on he grew stead lily weaker.
 In the last five rounds he absoroed a terrific facing and the decision was the only one the judges could have given. The somewhat obscure title of we1ter-wedght champion of Brook lyn went to the victor. The weights were: Soldier Bartfield, 149 1-2; Phil Bloom i45 IA
