HOW TO INVEST MONEY.
The Post Office Your Savings Bank.

Postmaster CIV. Phebus continues
to impress upon the people of Union
City and Obion County the advan-
tages of Treasury Savings Certificates
and Postal Savings as an investment
as well as the best method of encour-
aging persons of small income to
form the habits of thrift and saving.
"The post office under this system, :"
said a financial sage who made an in
vestigation of the new U. S. Govern
ment Savings System, will become
the savings bank of the wage Garner
and the person of small salary. In
many of the large cities, and in fac
tory towns, and especially in many
of the smaller towns in the rural dis
tricts, it is very inconvenient for
earners of a weekly wage to reach
bank after receiving their pay, but
post office is usually available. When
the people fully understand that their
post offices offer them modern bank
ing facilities they will avail them
selves of this modern savings system
which is run for their own advantage
and at no cost to them. Postal Saw
ings and Treasury Certificates offer
an unusual opportunity, and the post
office is ready to render these bank
ing facilities in an. efficient manner.
Postmaster Phebus is pleased with
the suggestion of the post office as
The wage earners' bank, and intends
10 make it that in fact, as long as
people who are its patrons show a |
to save. He calls especial
attention to the fact that the Govern
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1922-06-09

ment is in this savings movement
because the officials have become
| convinced that only through the Gov
ernment can nationwide campaign
for savings be inaugurated and made
successful. "The Government" he
said affords an opportunity for ev-
erybody to save. Any person with
ten cents can open savings account
with the Government. With ten
cents postal savings stamp can be
bought at the post office. When
ten stamps have been purchased and
affixed to postal savings card they
can be exchanged for a 81 interest
bearing postal savings certificate.
Postal savings certificates to the
amount of $4,000 may be purchased
by any one person. Small investors
can also buy Treasury Savings
Stamps at 81 each. They do not draw
interest, but when 20 stamps have
been acquired they can be exchanged
for a $25 Treasury Savings Certiti-
cate. These certificates are issued in
denominations of $25, 500 and
$1,000, and sold for 500, $50, and

MANAGER COX GETS
CHAPLIN IN 1.-THE KID"
Chaplin Deserts Buffoonery for New
Role.

Rumors that have been current in
the motion picture industry that
Charlie Chaplin longed to forsake the
field of buffoonry and appear in a
dramatic role on the screen have been
verified as having substantial basis,
for the picture has been completed.
The idea, however, that he would
adopt the matinee idol makeup and
attempt tc make the public forget
the character which is identified by
his na3le all oversthe world is mere
ly mistaken idea engendered from
the report that he was working in
a dramatic picture.
The comedian has accomplished
the impossible in his latest picture,
"The Kid" First Nationals six reels
of joy, which will be the attraction
at the Reynolds Theatre, beginning
Monday, previous employees and 9TH
ers associated with him in his screen
career had pronounced it impossible
that he appear in his screen char
acter in a semi-dramatic story and
succeed in gaining sympathy as well
as laughs from his audiences in the
plight which the plot developed.
In "The Kid" however, according
to critics and others who have seen
it, he accomplishes it. Charlie is
there in the same character which
has gained him the place as the
worlds most popular comedian, but
in situations which combine an oc-
casional sob with shrieks of laugh
ter. Charlie becomes the guardian
of two weeks old baby, and expends
upon him all the love and devotion
that any father could. His character,
however, makes his every attempt
humorous circumstance, but the
heart throbs are ever present in the
main theme of the story. -

"Cross Crossings Cautiously"

The American Railway Association
will conduct from June 1 to Septem-
ber 80 a CAREFUL CROSSING CAM
PAIGN, with the hope that educa-
tional methods which have resulted
in so largely reducing the number of
injuries among employees, will also
result in a reduction in the number
of accidents at highway and railroad
grade crossings.
Cooperation in the plan has been
assured by the United States Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, the
National Highway Traffic Associa-
tion, National Safety Counsel and nu-
merous other organizations.
The steady increase in crossing ac-
cidents in the last few years has
made it necessary to take active
measures to stop or reduce them. In
the past thirty years., while the pop
ulation has increased 6S per cent,
crossing accidents have increased 945
per cent in fatal and 652 in injury
cases. In 1920, 1871 persons were
killed and 5077 injured, 116 of whom
died subsequently from their injuries.
Automobiles were involved in rs plr
cent of all crossing accidents.
Elimination of grade crossings is
continuing as rapidly as possible, but
as there are 251,939 crossings in
Glass 1 railroads alone, and it costs
an average of $4,000 for each cross
ing to be eliminated, it is manifestly |
impossible to expect their complete !
within life time. Even |
if the stupendous sum of 12,50O,-
100000 needed to pay for the work
was available the work could not be
done within that time. In 1919, 399
were eliminated. At the same rate
it will take 269 years to dispose of
the job,
The impossibility of eliminating
all grade crossings within this gener-
alton has forced the railroads and

FORD NEARS OUTPUT
5000 A DAY IN JUNE

Ford dealers in the United States
have asked for a total of 194,750
Ford cars, trucks and tractors to meet
their June requirements, says a state
ment issued by the Ford Motor Com
pany, Detroit, Michigan.
AS a result, the estimated output
for June has been boosted to 100000,
which is an increase of 10000 over
the present month, and, of course,
will set up new high record, in spite
of the fact that the May output will
show a substantial increase over the
previous month
Ford sales have been constantly
increasing since the first of the year,
the demand growing during the past
two months faster than it has been
possible to increase production.
Monday, May 16, brought forth
new record of cars built for one day,
the figures reaching 4,S7S at the
close of the days work. This was an
increase of 16 over May 15, when
the previous high mark was estab-
lished.
On May Is, the six millionth Ford
motor was assembled. Number five
came off the line May %,
1921.
Ford officials state that every at
tempt is being made to build suf-
ficient number of cars and trucks to

REJECTION OF BIDS
FOR STREET WORK
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen Pass
ON Street Work.

p Quite a number of citizens were
l out at the meeting Of the Board o1
s Mayor and Aldermen last Tuesday
night. The question for immediate
yaction was the consideration of bids
made under the ordinances and specl-
kirations recently published.
Law Last week the bids were opened
and read and some time taken after
wards to compile them and figure
the totals of each bid. Bids on sew
eraI types were called for and made
but after they were examined all but
two were dropped for the reason that
they were either too high or not the
kind desired.
The two bids, therefore taken up
for consideration were: One for con-
crete paving at approximately $780,
600 for $1,000 square yards, includ-
ing curb, gutter, excavation, etc. The
other was for sheet asphalt at ap-
proximately $115,000 for $1,000
square yards, including curb, gutter,
excavation, etc.
The first thing to be decided was
which type OF street is preferred. The
visitors and the board members prac-
tically all took part in the discussion.
Those present making some remarks
were: c. e. Beck, J. P. Verhine, O..
Spradlin, Frank Oliver, Waddell,
Jackson, Hugh Smith, J. G, Burdick,
Jr., S. d. Woosley, John George, DR..
]. B, Hibbitts, E. H. Marshall.
1t was finally submitted that no
streets are permanent, but that the
sheet asphalt had stood up probably
better than any others. There were
a few who preferred concrete at the
difference in price-$25, ,0OO-but no
one seemed to be thoroly satisfied
about the adoption and use of con-
crete streets. Concrete paving has
been recommended very highly and
some of our citizens have made in
veStigas ions, but there still remains
some doubt in. almost every mind.
The fact is that great majority pre-
fer asphalt end sheet apshalt prefer
ably. A vote was finally taken on
the type of street to be adopted,
which resulted in favor of the sheet
asphalt to 8.
There being no bids for sheet as
phalt for less than $115,000, Mr..
Kerr, made a motion to reject any
and all bids. The motion prevailed
and then the board proceeded to pre-
pare ordinances for rev bids, which
appear in the paper this week. The
new ordinances change the plans to
eliminate part of Church street
from Home to Cemetery, and to in
clude an addition on Main street
from Ury to Home street.

LIONS MAKE OFFER
SIS FOR 1000 RATS
!. G. Wehman Duplicates Offer Of
go Cents for Rat Tails.

The Lions developed the fact at the
Tuesday meeting that the rat cam
paign is now on until the finish. The
| boys in seven sections are taking a
special interest in the work. Last
Saturday Mr.. Kirkland and his squads
took in the town and the theatres
and then the work began. Already
several squads, with rodents, have re-
ported at the Motlowl Mills to Mr..

terested in the work The price of
21s cents rat has been offered and
Mr.. Wehman offers the same price
for rat tails.
Mr.. kirkland is carrying on this
week a publicity campaign. Each
home is being notified to help de-
Istroy the rats. 1t is impor-
tant that all the homes cooperate in
the work. If anyone declines that
home is likely to be swamped with
rats coming from other places where
they are being driven out. The boys
are delivering their kill to Mr.. John
Dahnke and each boy is given credit
for the number of rats delivered. For
the convenience of Mr.. Dahnke it is
asked that rats be delivered between
the hours of 9 and 10 am. and 2 to
3 pm.
Mr.. Ben Howard reported a pro-
gram for the booster trip next Tues
day, which will be seen in a separate

erature and souvenirs. 1t has also

no one town alone, and everyone in
preference to catalog houses. A COM
mittee on transportation has been ap-
pointed as follows: H. o. Vincent, W.

Reporting on the Fourth of July
celebration in Union City. 1t was de-
cided that no further efforts for such

Lions, but that double header base
ball game would be staged. On that

will be asked to close his place Of
business and give the young men
some help in the maintenance of this
series of games, besides having the
pleasure of the games and a day of
recreation. The money collected on
that day will be used to pay for the
baseball uniforms.

ing to be held tonight (Friday) at
