POSTAL SAVING SYSTEM Benjamin Franklin was the first and foremost advocate of thrift, said Postmaster L. T. Heennan, in commenting on the activities of National Thrift ■* Although the first Postmaster General and renowned as a phi-, losopher, patriot, diplomat, in- j voptor and scientist, his name, will no doubt live longest by the | impression he has made as an advocate of thrift. Many• of his writings on thrift have become classics end will be rememtered as long as our language is read. One of his most famous sayings —“Never forget to have a penny when all thy expenses are enumerated and paid"—appears on the leaflet which the Post Office Department is putting into every home today. Postmaster General New. in an address delivered at a 1924 thrift week meeting in Washington said that if you add to this expression that other one of Franklin’s—"lncur no expenses, except that which does good to others or yourself"—you will have said all there is to say on Wie subject of thrift. Postmaster Heerman also would have the patrohs of his office more clearly understand the purpose and functions of the Postal Savings System, the agency of the Government by which thrift is promoted. Contrary to the conception of many. Postal Savings is not While it is a savings institution in the proper sense of the term, its similarity to a bank ends at that point. The deposits received from individuals are immediately turned over to local banks after bonds to secure such deposits are received from the banks as collateral. The policy of Postal Savings also differs from that of savings banks and other savings institutions. The most humble patron of the office is welcomed at the Postal Savings window. His purchase of a 10-cent savings stamp or his deposit of a single dollar is received as kindly and given as courteous attention as the transactions of the holder of a million dollar, account at any bank. And. again. Postal Savings does not look with disfavor on such of its depositors who, having accumulated a tidy sum. make withdrawals for the purchase of sound investments, a home or a business. It ist an educational service and if the people can be brought to realize the importance of saving a real service will have been rendered and a definite purpose accomplished. While the redeposit of Postal Savings funds in local banks ynureS to the benefit of the c<£mmunity by restoring to active use in channels of trade funds which might otherwise have -remained in hiding in trunks, under mattresses, etc., and while financial profit accrues to the Government by reason of the oneration of the service, the real value of this service cannot be measured in dollars and cents. It is a potent force for good in any community and plays an important part in the upbuilding of our Country today. NOTICE On and after January 29, 1925.

CHANGES IN FISH AND GAME LAWS ASKED

A number of important changes in the Indiana fish and game laws of particular interest to local fishermen and hunters, would be made under the provisions of a bill introduced in ‘he senate last week by senatoi Will K. Penrod (Martin, Law rence and Orange, rep.). The measure was drafted by officials of the state conservation department in co-operation with the Indiana Fish, Game and Forest League. Under the provisions of the Penned bill the daily catch of bass would s be reduced from twelve to ten; the daily catch of bluegills and crappies would be reduced from fifty to twentyfive. and a limit of twenty-five would be based on rock oass and a limit of ten on pike perch. Another section of the bill also would change the length limit of certain type? of fish. The limit on black bass would be eleven inches instead of ten; on pike perch it would be fourteen inches instead of twelve; rock bass, five inches and yellow perch, seven inches At present there is no limit on the two last named.

The bill would fix the closed season for rock bass and crappies fiom April 30 to June 16, which is the same as the present closed season for bass and bluegills. The period between the two dates includes the spawning season /or thesi hsh.

Another important provision in the Penrod bill is one4pertaining tc fishing licenses. Under the present law a peison is not required to,obtain a license to fish in the county in which he lives or in any adjacent counties. In the new bill a person would be permitted to fish without license only in his own county.

The present law r in this respect, according to George Mannfeld. superintendent of the fish and game division of the department of conservation, i* not fair to persons living in parts of the state where there are no lakes and only a few streams. "A person living in Kosciusko county can fish in thirty-seven lakes in his own county and about 100 others in adjoining counties without obtaining a license," said Mr. Mannfeld. “This is not fair to fishermen living in parts of the state where lakes and other streams are not so numerous." — o OBITUARY Anson O’Dell, -son of Mr. and Mrs. Orris O'Dell, was born at Milford, Indiana January 5. 1851. He came with his parents to Syracuse when but a child, and when he grew to manhood he met with the misfortune of blindness and for 32 veers was not permitted to look at the wondrous creation of Goa and the many things that help to make life pleasant. For more than three years he has beefl helpless from the result of a fall which fractured his hip. He was patient in his suffering and passed to the great bevond January 22. at the home of hin only surviving sister. Mrs. Ellen Traster, who so faithfully cared for him in his afflictions. He also leaves a brothefr, Alonzo O’Dell of Grand Rapids, Mich., besides many relatives and friend-a Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the home Rev. Floyd Hedges officiating.

Ellen Traster. Alonzo O’Dell, and Nieces and nephews. WINTER NEAR END! Well, well, well! And now comes forth one John Michaels, of Menominee, Mich., a weather prognosticator, predicting that there will be but two more weeks of cold weather. John uses the condition of his horses’ hair as a basis for his prophecy. For years he has been a barn bodl, teamster, or ner connected with horses and he declares his method never fails. J Hi? declaration in regard to an early spring is based upon an alleged established fact that his horses begin to shed their winter coat of long hair just three weeks before the warmer weather sets in. Last week his started casting off their old fuzzy hair and growing a new coat, so. John says, about February I will mark the beginning of spring. Os course, he explains, there will be snow after February 1, but positively no cold weather. He asserts this is the earliest his horses have shed their winter coats since *96. - A classified ad will sell it -

THE ISLE OF PINES The Isle of Pines, located about 80 miles south of Cuba, is about the size of Rhode Island. It has a population of 4250 peoole of whom 700 are For twenty-one years Congress has struggled with the problem of whether the island belongs to Cuba or to the United States, md now the question is again before the Senate. American citizens own 90 percent of the land, purchased on the understanding that the Pines Would bg annexed to the United States as a sister colony to Porto Rico, under the written agreement made by Spain at the close cf the Spanish War. In 1898. John Hay. as secretary of state, opposed the annexation of the island, because he had repeatedly asserted that the war with Spain was in no sense a war of conquest, regardless of the w’ritten record and deed from Spain. When Cuba was set free he relinquished all claim to the Isle of Pines, asserting that it. belonged to Cuba. The Senate of the United! States ratified only part of this treaty and ever since that time the matter has been

unsettled. President Roosevelt authorized Elihu Root, then Secretary of War, to untangle the diplomatic knot, and he held that the United States had no substantial claim to the Island. Meanwhile Cuba believes it .will come to them sometime and are at present governing the Island. Senator Borah declares that the Isdahd belongs to us, and t> relinquish the' title now would do a great injustice to the Americans who have developed it as a fruit land. So, onCe more the 20-year-old controversy is before the Senate, and like the Muscle Shoals question, may de disposed of some way to get rid of it.
