j. S. SPECU[ATES
IN POSTAL SAVINGS
Takes Fund in Banks and
Buys Liberty Bonds for
Greater Profit.

Well. what do you think? Your
Uncle Sam has turned speculator.
Moreover, he is buying his own pa
per" at less than par. He has
shrewd eye for a bargain, 1t seems,
and is not above taking advantage OF
opportunities to turn an honest penny
for himself.
1t is this way; the government. find
ing that it had some $16S.000.000 OF
deposits in postal savings banks, took
out $l05, 200 and bought liberty
bonds. The face value of the bonds
purchased Is Sill. 100000. and Uncle
ESam viii draw interest on the money
Gegsts4fy Invested o9<S.aads6 = per cent,
|sy ths banks ief use of the postal
- Net coal Prsafeer.
To be sute, he. is not such good
business man when It comes to buy
ing coal for the War Department,
having paid an average of,$7:12 a ton
and which tho Navy Department
bought for S4.35 to s4.75 ton--but
that is another affair. which Congress
is patiently waiting for the War De-
paftment to explain. ~
But he surely Is forehanded and far
sighted in his liberty bond and pos
tai savings financing. Congressman
agree that 1t may be questionable for
the government to buy it's own Sc
curities at less than par. but is en-
tirely within its rights in doing SO.
These facts were developed in the
appropriation bill for the fiscal year
1922. which also brought out the
statement that the business of the
Post Office Department has increased
20 per cent during the current fiscal
year. The pending appropriation bill
is the largest ever presented to Con-
gress. carrying almost 100000, 600.
At that, the business is not paying
its way, the deficiencies for the years
1920 and 1921 amounting to $73,-
500, zoe. -.
Air Nail Experimeats.
The air mail service Is not we'll re-
garded by the appropriations COM
mittee, but experiments win be con-
tinued to the extent Of $1,25o,0o0
The House is willing to take another
chance on the innovation. 1t Is re-
called that when the postal savings
banks were established. the banks of
the country raised protest, charging
it would hurt the banking business.
but found that it helped it. because
savings accounts ultimately found
their way into the banks.
It is figured now that 1t costs $685.
to carry ton of mail one mile by
air, while a ton can be carried a mile
on the railroads for z cents How
ever, the government thinks that the
experience gained in flying through
ali climatic and air conditions be-
tween New York and San Francisco
may be of advantage for militay pur-
poses, and the small appropriation
win be continued. The transconti-
mental air mail service is supposed
to gain sixteen hours between New
York and San Francisco over the
the railroad delivery.

Conjunction Of Planets Observable

This evening about 8 O'Clock, if the
sky is clear, star gazers can observe
the conjunction of three planets. The
planet Mars. which now is a conspic-
uous evening star. will be within one
half of q degree Of Venus. Uranus at

So close conjunction of three plan

GOOD FARMS Still

CRY Associated Prcss)

Lexington, Ky, March 18-Al-
though values Of farm lands in
the richest agricultural sections
Of Kentucky have declined sharp
ly III value from the prices OBJ
tanned during the world war,
sales recently reported from vari-
Gus parts Of the state indicate
that good land is still bringing a
fancy price Sales at from $l5C
to SIS an acre are reported.
An instance OF high values paid
for land recently was the sale of
the Ashbrook farm in Bourbon
county. This place sold to Sesse
Booth, Of Lexington, for $4S,OOO
1t contained 120 acres.
The ID. b. Murphy farm near

Although farmers generally are
suffering from low prices, accord
to experts at the University of
Kentucky, few show any signs of
real downhcartcdness despite the
fact that they are having hard
time to make ends meet and are
preparing to carry on without
letuP. Crops probably will be
cut down to a certain extent
from the high mark of the last
two or three years, but many be-
lieve that with lower prices for
farm help and materials needed
on the farm, the next year will
show a profit where the last year
showed losses.

Mr.. Sunday was going strong
and he brought cheers from his

ration, "I'll be blamed if | cross

Mr.. Sundays necktie began to
