LIFE IN PRISON - There're
some things about Grissett that
are very interesting, but he didn' t
tell us about them. We had to pick
them up elsewhere.
He was in the Army in Europe.
The Germans captured and flung
him in one of their prisons.
One day Grissett didn't like the
potato soup, which was mostly
water, they served him. So he push
ed it aside. A German lieutenant
came by and demanded that he
eat it. Grissett wouldn't. The Ger
man expectorated into the soup.
Then he ordered Grissett again
to eat it. Grisset got up on his
feet and smacked the lieutenant
a couple and knocked him down.
All they did to Grissett was take
him out and put cigarets, or some
thing equally as burning, between
each Of his fingers until they'd
scared the flesh.
Grissett still has the scars, so
our investigator tells us. We didn't
see them. 1t was too dark when
we were talking with him the other
night.

partment to $1,000 for each ird-
vidual, a little arithmetic shows
that the average amount on de-
post is rather healthy to say the
least.
Popularity Of the postoffice as a
depository of savings is perhaps
due to the fact that the govern
ment pays a higher rate of interest
on savings than the current rate
at commercial banking houses, &C
cording to the view of Mr.. Dosher.
The government has consistently
over the years paid two per cent
on savings deposits while the cur
rent rate at commercial banks
here is now one per cent. Back in
1886, when postal savings were
running around 100000 annually,
commercial banks were paying
three per cent interest on savings.
Later the rate was dropped to two
per cent, then one and one-halt
and then to one which is the cur
rent rate.
