Postal Savings Deposits
 Continue to Increase

~ TEADY increase in the postal 0 savings deposits is reported. Total amount now on deposit in the postoffices of the country is $163, ESQ., 900. The deposits in Birmingham alone are $213,000. Even during the slowing up period these deposits have grown. The amount in Birmingham on March 1 was greater than that on February 1.
 Savings deposits draw only per cent interest. One asks himself how and why it is that men and women will put their money out at such low rate of interest when they can get more in institutions practically as safe as the postoffices.
 One answer is that the postal sav- ings account may be started with the 10-cent postal savings stamp. An other is that they may be opened by any one over 10 years of age in his or her own name and be free from control by others. The accessibility of the postoffice has something to do with it, there being one at every cross road.
 Undoubtedly that instinctive regard which the American has for the solid ity of his government as the repre- sentative of his country leads many to the postal savings account. The foreigner, too, has an even higher re- gard for the protective character of the American flag and the institutions connected with the American govern ment.
 Safety first is the slogan of more human beings than superficially at times it appears to be.

 ONWARD THROUGH SERVICE From the Thrift Magazine.
 We often assume that business suc- cess is due to personalities.
 Wherever there are great. accom- plishments of business organization we look for some great dominating per sonality whose brain is the dynamic force of the enterprise.
 But such an analysis is not complete. Down at the bottom of all great success is service.
 It was not the personality of Wash ington or Lincoln that made them of so much value to their nation and to hu- manity. It was the service rendered to their countrymen and to all mankind that added the luster of immortality to their deeds. .
 In all walks of life service is the agency through which success is at- tained
 Our individual growth is attained only through service to others.
 Those who serve themselves alone arc simply marking time.
 Give the best that is in you in service to your fellowmen. Serve your job. your family,~your community. your na- tion, and. through these means. your- self.
 Onward through service'' would oe good slogan for all of Hs to adopt.

 Hawkins is the same youngster who took up wrestling early in l92o' ana gave such a good account of himself i- the national tournament staged here.

"I am mighty fond of The Age-Her- ald," says Nat Barker, flor l think IL is one of the best rounded papers In the whole country. One thing l spe- cially like about it is that it IS con servative in it's editorial policies anu another is that it is singulargly modest in it's claims.

HERE'S SOMETHING
TO THINK ABOUT

Klingville reports new product
called peat livestock bedding.
Aside from the fact that farms will
unanimously adopt this product, be-
cause Of it's numerous advantages
it shows immediate signs of building
new and interesting industry. Al
this time new industry is particul-
arly welcome in the upper peninsula
for it will give employment to many
who might otherwise remain idle in
neutrality-suspicious. it should be
permanent, for it utilities one of our
vast resources heretofore untouched.
II will bring to US and put into cir
culation new money-it will keep
here hard earned money spent else
where for other materials which, we
now find, never did and never will
fully answer the same purpose.
This product is a natural deodor-
ant and because Of this qualification,
1t will, from a sanitary standpoint
alone, bring abcIt many agreeable
changes. Who knows but that the
time is not far off when it's use may
be compulsory in the livery stables
and barns situated in or very near
crowded communities. We never can
have too much practical application
Of sanitary science.
The up-to-date farmer will certain
~ be interested in another essential
and inherent quality--it's ability to
absorb and retain moisture under un-

favorable circumstances. It will hold
$3.50 moisture as against 27cs for the
best straw. The animal ammonia
which is SO easily lost but highly val
liable as a source of nitrogen, will be
preserved in the compost piles. This
increased supply of nitrogen will re-
duce the expense Of crop raising and
increase substantially the harvest
not to mention the increase in the
growers bank account.
Last but not least-this material
is already in such state of decom-
position that it's value as humus is
obtained Immediately, thus eliminat-
ing to satisfactory degree one Of
the causes Of sour soil. This helps to
GU down the lime bill.
It is interesting to note that in
Europe peat livestock bedding has
had widespread use for many years
and has almost entirely displaced
straw, except in instances where de-
mand exceeded production. The de-
mand shows. clearly that straw is
considered poor substitute for peat.
In view Of what has been stated, 1T
might net be we'll to lose sight of the
fact that it is always possible to raise
the plane of efficiency in farming.
Let's waste no time in making n
change for the better.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKE~

Chicago, Dec 14.-With the wheat market becoming more and more of holiday affair, prices today worked ir- regularly down grode. The close was unsettled, 1-8c to. 1-4 net lower, with May 1.10 7-S to Ill and July 1.o1 1-2 to 101 5-8. Corn lost IA to 5-S, and oats a shade to 1-8 3, If. In provisions, the outcome varied from unchanged figures to Is cents off.
 Selling on the part of elevator inte- rests quickly oyercae a slight degree of | frnness which the wheat market at the beginning showed in response to higher quotations at Liverpool. The presence of ample immediate supplies counted in fav or of the bears, and with a new govern ment report soon forthcoming all prewi- ous calculations based on estimates of the domestic yield and on the amount of | wheat shipped abroad and consumed at home were largely ignored. | Dry wea ther complaints from the west and southwest led at times to consider able covering by shorts, but the rallies which ensued were mainly of a transient character. Some export business was
 announced but the bulk of purcha sing | for Europe continued to be restricted to
 wheat grown fn Canada. Predictions, that
 receipts at Winnipeg would show falling l off next week appeared to have but little l influence on values here
 l Corn and oats were weakened by the kslowness of domestic call for corn. Ex- porters were after corn here, however
 and rural offerings of corn to arrive were
 light.
 Provisions, although dull, held fairly
 steady owing to strength in the hog
 market.
