While this heavy laden table was being relieved of its pressure the writer has not a shadow of a doubt that every individual partaker of the rich bounty before' them rejoiced in themselves that Uncle Samuel was born into this world, tho seventy-four years since.

The in The war in Europe is proving a big boon to postal savings in this country. From the very day hostilities opened across the seas postal-savings receipts began to incre&s* by leaps and bounds and withdrawals fell off, a result quite contrary to the predictions of many well-informed persons, who, in , their imagination, saw lines of feverish de­ positors at postoffice pay windows anxious to again return their savings to the boot-leg and body-belt depos­ itories, whence they came before in­ trusted to Uncle Sam. Byt the fore­ casters failed to reckon on #he absolute confidence of the American citizens, regardless of the flag that first met his eyes, in the ability and purpose of the government to carry out its obliga­ tions, not only among the nations of the earth, but with the humblest citi­ zen of our land. Two important results have followed; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad, are now patrons of our postal- savings system: and enormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our own peo­ ple at a time when the need for every available dollar is pressing. The growth of the postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the system has filled an important gap between the tin-can de­ pository and the factory paymaster. On July 1, when affairs were running smoothly here and abroad and the transmission of money across the At­ lantic was safe and expeditious, there was approximately $43,000,000of postal savings standing to the credit of about 388,000 depositors. Since then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been added and the number of dejiositors has in­ creased enormously. This unpreced­ ented gain is the more striking when it is considered that the net gain in the last three months is larger than the gain for the entire fiscal year 1914. Scores of offices have done more postal savings business since the war has been going on than was done by them during the previous existence of the service. The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt in every nook and corner of the country. New York City'alone made a gain in September of more than a million, while Brooklyn showed a rela­ tively big increase. Chicago reported a larger gain in the past three months than for the previous twelve months. More than 1,000 new accounts were opened during the period, bringing tlft number of depositors in that city uj> to over 21,000. The unexpected increase in postal- savings business has not only added greatly to the general administrative duties of the system, but has brought up many new and interesting problems which have called for the careful per­ sonal consideration of Postmaster Gen­ eral Burleson and Governor Dockery, third .assistant postmaster general. But their task has been lightened some­ what by the promptness of depository banks in furnishing additional security meet the abnormal deposits. A to number of the very largest banks in the country, which have heretofore declined to qualify as dejiositories for jtostal savings funds, are now among the eager applicants for them.

Price. m ILUKOiq UNDER THE LEVER TOND ACT OF GREAT VALOE The Lever funds, $10,000 of which be­ comes avaHable this year, are to be used in accordance with the intent, of the bill in doing purely demonstration work in agriculture and household science. Altho the amount nxailabWfor the lirst year's work is relatively small, it will continue to increase each year un­ til it shall have i-euohed the maximum of about $170,000 in 1922. In view of this constantly increasing amount and the amounts being raised by the var­ ious counties, which will likely in­ crease even more rapidly, it is import­ ant that the whole plan of organization be made with a view not only to get­ ting results at once, but also with a view to putting the whole demonstra­ tion service on a basis which will in­ sure a permanently increasing useful­ ness. That is, we should be able to spend $170,000 much more effectively in 1922 than we shall spend $10,000 in 1914. Under the provisions of the Lever act this whole demonstration service will be carried on co-operatively be­ tween the United States department of agriculture and the state of Illinois, represented by the university and the various County Agricultural associa­ tions. The state leader w ill act as the joint agent of the United States de­ partment ot agriculture^ and the Uni­ versity of Illinois. It will be_the duty of his office to handle the general ad­ ministrative work connected with the co-operati ve demonstration service. The state leader and his assistants will aim to help interested counties in get­ ting under way and perfecting their organizations for employing county nd- visors and doing demonstration work. They will aim also to co-operate in every way possible with the various county associations already established in advancing the better farming move­ ment in Illinois. The co-operation with the United States department of agriculture and the University of.UHnois carries with it financial aid to the various county associations in so far as the funds available will permit, and the franking priviledge which enables the county advigor to send free thru the mails all official communications between his office and the farmers of his county. The chief lines of work planned un­ der this new co-operative organization are as follows: Co-operation in every possible way with the county associations and their advisors in carrying on the work al­ ready under way. Departmental Advisory Service It is planned to supplement the coun­ ty advisory service with departmental advisors in soil and crop production, animal husbandry, dairying, horticul­ ture, and likely other departments as the work develops. These depart­ mental advisors are to be members of the various departments of the Uni­ versity of Illinois, college of agricul­ ture and experiment station, and are to assist the county advisor in studying the special and more technical prob­ lems which confront him in the field. For no matter how broad the training and experience of the country man may be, there must necessarily be numerous problems in which the de­ partmental advisor can give him spe­ cial assistance. These departmental advisors are to retain their connection with the vari­ ous departments which they represent, in order that they may keep in close touch with the progress being made in their respective lines of investigation. Their contact with the actual farm problems, as they confront the county advisor and the farmer, should also be of value to the work of the department they represent. They will be on only part time in this advisory service and will work with the county men when these apply for their service in so far as their time will permit. It is be­ lieved that the development of this service will be an important factor in, making the work of the county paen' more efficient and in broadening its! scope. For example, the horticultur­ ist should be ab^e to advise the county man as to the general place of orchard and garden production in his section as well as give detailed advice with reference to these lines. The soil and crop production men might be called, irpon for advice in the handling of spe­ cial soil problems or in the working out of the most advantageous system of crop production. The problems of general animal pro­ duction and dairying would have from time to time the benefit of the advtae and counsel of members of the depart­ ments, and it is hoped eventually that the department of farm management will be able to give direction and ad­ vice as to the general adjustment in the organization of farm business and its more efficient administration as based upon the investigational work done along these lines. Farm Management Demoaetratimi Another line of work contemplated under the Lever fund is farm manage­ ment demonstration. Under this it is contemplated to make detailed surveys on a large number of farms^n some representative sections of the state with a view of determining the main facts about this farm business, such as size of farm, distribution of invest­ ments in land, buildings, mechanical equipment, horses and mules and other livestock, miscellaneous supplies and funds to meet current expense. Also the general systems of crop and animal production and the yields*and efficiency with which these are "carried on, the general diversity of the productive system and the income from various sources as well as the total income and expense of the farm. On the basis of s infornl&tion gathered, after being V/ff. «aKe W m POW% fOT MADE BY Set BAKING P CHICAGO mi, Better cookies, cake and biscuits, too.

Houeehold Science Last, but not least, it is planned to devote a liberal portion of th« funds to demonstration work in household science. This field is rich in demon­ stration material and the need for dis­ seminating the available knowledge is urgent. It is "planned to demonstrate houseplanning and household equip­ ment. Under this would be included plans for suitable farm homes, the demonstration of materials for con­ struction, interior finishings, furnish­ ings, etc. Also the installation and use of modern sanitary conveniences, such as bathroom equipment, sewage disposal, lighting, heating and water systems. The use of modern labor- saving applumces, such as power wash­ ers, vacuip cleaners and other mechan­ ical appliances that make the life of the farm woman easier. This constitutes the general plan of the work at the present time. Its de­ velopment must be guided largely by the experience gained in working it out. The fact that we now have the machinery for working out co-opera­ tively a uniform plan, to which all of the forces at work in the field will no 4oubt contribute, promises much for the future usefulness of th,e wh,ole movement.
