WASHINGTON. July 16.-Plans for
cutting down expenditures of the post
office department $15,000,000 during
the next IL months are understood to
have been outlined Friday TO the
cabinet by Postmaster General Hays.
He was said to have declared the pro-
posed economies would in no way
weaken the efficiency of the service.
The plans involve dropping from the
payrolls about ] " per cent OF the 3OO,-
! 900 postal employees over the country.
| Assurances have been given, however,
that no efficient employees will be dis
charged. In many instances vacancies

The Fire Hazard in the Country

The extremely hot weather, which has dried
vegetation, is provocative of an increased fire
hazard in the rural districts that should induce
urban jewellers who are in the country to be
extremely careful of fire.
A boy, driving in an automobile near Con-
nersville, threw away few days ago cigarette
which set fire to dry weeds on the roadside
and was only prevented from spreading to a
wheat field by the hard work of farmers who
detected the blaze.
Many urbanites are not considerate of the
rights of the farmer. They seem to forget that
they may inflict heavy financial loss on him
by their carelessness and neglect to obey or
binary precautions.
Campers should be very careful these days to
extinguish fires they have lighted to cook meals.
Motorists should not throw lighted cigars, cigar
cites and matches into dry weeds at the side of
the road.
Farmers are unable to call fire department
which will respond in a few minutes. Usually a
fire on farm means the loss of the barn, house
or field, because there are no fire fighting ap-
planes.

at the thirty-first annual convention of the Ohio
Bankers association, held recently in Cleveland,
Ohio. 1t was advanced by President S. ]. Brister
in his annual address and was emphasized by all
the speakers.

have been grave and many of them are yet far
from being solved, we now have them we'll in
hand-the strained, anxious period is passed. the
greatest tension relieved" President Brister
said.
One of the other speakers, H. E. Scott, Ohio
state bank superintendent, declared:
Americas financial system is on the most
substantial basis in its history The business de-
preston through which we have been passing
should not discourage us. The shadows are van
ishing and the sunlight is breaking through and,
in my judgment it will not be long until the
country will be enjoying what may be described
as conservative prosperity-the kind to be more
desired, because it is more enduring"
All the speakers emphasized the Importance
of the bankers role in re-establishng public con-
fidence in business conditions and in leading the
business world forward to better time by encour-
aging wise and sober spending and thrift.
