Discuss Postal Savings.

~ ANKERS and business men from all parts Of
n the country met at dinner here last week to
discuss ways and means of cnIarging the use-
funess OF the postal savings system,
CORTLAND Smith, the secretary of the postal saw
ings board, discussed the situation at length In part
he said: "The rate of interest is of first importance
and per cent, even If paid at reasonable intervals
which is mot now done is no longer adequate. Many
of the restrictions with which postal savings
rounded at its start not needed
Free from these and under bigger and courageous
leadership there is every feel that the postal
savings make of this nation people of thrifty
investors and wise spenders." ~
Postmaster General Hays made il very clear al
the of the dinner discussion that postal sapings
is not to compete with savings banks and thar the
Postof6ce Department does not want depositors from
savings banks The whole aim of the postal Savings
bank he said was to bring out the hoarded wealth in
the country estimated by many well informed TO be
nearly $I.ooo.ooo.ooo
"Thc savings banks have not brought this money
out of hiding" said the Postmaster General nor has
the postal savings yet brought il out Nothing can
bring out but the faith in the security of the gov
ernment of the United States and larger interest
return on the deposits and the acquainting of the
holders with purpose and their opportunity. This
hope to do. This money is needed in circulation
now. If $Iooooooooo can be brought out of stock
ngs and closets and saved from waste and wild CATS
will do inealculable good 1t will make general bank
depositors and ultimate government bond owners out
OF the imorous; il viii give small capital chance for
an honest return the large capital it will fur

While the cotton market during the past week
represented succession Of erratic movements. ad-
vances exceeded declines and the crop closed the
period with slightly improved standing The monthly
crop repo.: Of the government issued Monday, was
under expectations and resulted in general buying
movement for both long and short accounts steadily
advancing prices. These gains practically lost,
however, in the following session when profit taking
brought about reaction.
Renewed speculative buying and pessmistic
ports of spreading boil weey in southern prn-
cipaly in Central and Eastern Texas also Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia helped the market up
again in closing periods of the week.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF PAINT
Great Mistake to Imagine That the
Only Use of the Brush Is for
characterization.

Observation in most localities
leaves the impression that too many
buildings suffer from lack Of painting.
A great many property owners seem
to assume that the use of the paint
brush is the special prerogative of the
rich, that 1t holds no advantage for
the average man, ii lie can forego the
pleasure of having ornamentation
about. But painting is not chiefly val
liable for ornamentation. 1t Is chiefly
valuable for sanitation, greater life,
better service.
While paint does, Of course. servo
to improve the appearance of prop
erty, 1t Is far more useful for protec-
ton than for ornament. A small
amount of money and work expended
in keeping valuable piece of ma
chinery painted will greatly add to
its length of life. The same may be
said of buildings.
Another useful object which is nc.
complished by painting is the i'm
proved sanitary condition Of buildings
and OuthOuses. The cost of such work
(palnting) Is small, the necessary
equipment is not expensive, and with
proper care this will last II lifetime,
