SOME HIGH TOTALS

Along with the growth of the work it was but natural to- expect that the force conducting it would increase. The origl- nal work in 1911 had a supervisor n each of the two initial counties, who were employed for three summer months ct salary of $50 per month. There are now six state agents, Miss Feminear and five assistants, who are employed the entire year, and total of 40 county home demonstration agents, who are en- ployed for an average of l0lz months each year.
 During the year 1920 the six state agents attended 663 meetings, with a total attendance of 74,524 at which they de livered 505 lectures and conducted 2s4 demonstrations. The 40 county home dem onstration agents held 3,96S meetings, with a total attendance of 15l, ,456, visited 9,527 demonstrators, farmers and others, and in doing so travelled 191, ,4S0 miles. Ap- proximately 175,O00 bulletins were distrip- uted by the state and county forces and, in addition thereto, a great many per sonal and circular letters were written and distributed

THE LEAvENWORTH ECHO

but experience has shown that the
Postal Savings System draws its pa
irons not from depositors in eStab-
lished and well-conducted banks but
from among those who otherwis ,
would not place their money in any
banking Institution whatever.
The original act of Congress re-
stricted the total amount to be placed
on deposit at $500 and the deposit Of
this amount was limited to not more
than 800 per month. Later the
monthly limitation was entirely re-
moved and the maximum amount in
creased first to 81 900 and then to the
present amount, $4,000. Postmaster
General Burleson. in the annual re-
port just submitted TO Congress
recommends increasing the rate of
interest TO be paid depositors and ac-
ton by Congress will no doubt. be
taken along these lines in the near
future.

NEW POSTAL SAVINGS CARD.

The United States Postal Savings
System is today marking its tenth
anniversary by issuing new postal
savings card which will displace the
l0-cent postal savings card which
has been in use since the establish
ment of the System on January /.
1911.
The new card will be furnish Il
free Of cost and when ten 1O-cent
postal savings stamps have been af-
fixed to it will be accepted at any de-
positoly office as deposit of 81 or
it may be redeemed in cash. The
outstanding feature of the new card
is the translation into twenty-four
foreign languages of the statement
that 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 postoffices, one in each
state, on January /. 1911, and al
though hampered by many restric-
lions as to rate of interest and maxi
mum amount allowed on deposit. Il
has shown remarkable progress.
Postmaster General Burleson an
nounces that the amount on deposit
today is more than 1852 100000 and its
depositors have long since passed the
one-half billion mark.
As predicted by its proponents n
the days before the passage of the
original Postal Savings Act, our for
eign born citizens have been the
principal patrons of the System.
Taught in their relative countries TO
look to the Government to safeguard
their savings, they naturally expect
this Government to do likewise. In
the present food tide of immigration
each newcomer as he leaves the port
of entry, receives a leaiet in his own
language outlining the method of op
Grafton of the United States Postal
Savings System and urging upon him
the desirabiity 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 fac
tors in furthering the Americaniza-
ton movement.
Many banks, usually savings banks,
prior to the establishment of the
System, felt that the Postal Savings
System would be strong competitor

John B. Milholland of Spokane Kill
led himself on Sunday after it was
learned that he and his partner, Jay
f. Hough, had embezzled S350,000
from James F. Callahan, a Occur d
Alene millionaire mine-owner. Hough
confessed to the crime He and Mil
holland had agreed to meet at their
office Sunday evening at eleven and
kill themselves. Hough did not have
the nerve to face death At his own
hand and when Milholland found L
out he killed himself in his own home.
1t is needless to censure and of no
avail to draw a moral. The only
manner in which restitution for a
wrong can be made, according to our
standards, is to repay the debt, if the
wrong is financial Milholland is
dead. Hough will undoubtedly go TO
jail for such a time as to render re-
payment impossible.
