Tha work of Hashagen. Shep . ard, .Bagley and Han for the local Postmaster LaRoque has released the following statement from the Post office Department: "The war in Enrope is proving a t big boon to postal savings in this country. From the very day hostili- J ties opened across the seas postal savings receipts began to increase by ( leaps and bounds and withdrawals fell off, a result quite contrary to the j predictions of many well-informed ( persons, wno, in ineir imagination, saw lines of feverish depositors at post-office pay windows anxious to again return their savings to the boot-leg and body-belt depositories whence they came before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters fail ed to reckon on the absolute confi dence of the American citizen, regard less 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 fol lowed; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad, are now patrons of our postal-savings system; ana en ormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among r our own people at a time when tne need for every available dollar is pressing. I "The growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy and the system has filled an important gap between the tin-can depository 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 j was approximately $43,000,0110 of 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 depos itors has increased enormously. The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt in every nook and corner of the country. "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 prob-' loms which have called for the careful personal consideration of Postmaster General Burleson and Governor Dock ery, Third Assistant Postmaster Gen eral. But their task has been light ened somewhat by the promptness of depository banks i:i furnishing addi tional security to meet the abnormal deposits. A number of the very larg est banks in the country, which have heretofore declined to qualify as de positories for postal-savings funds, ar now among the eager applicants for them." i k match Miociniiinv n III ILL 1U1 J JIUlmIX I I LEADER HERE SUNDAY ,,-f.m Received Just Big Shipment of SHIRT WAIST Our Price, $1.98 Buster Brown Hosiery.

When You Buy a Chalmers You Buy More Than Just a Car Into every Chalmers car we build goes the spirit of the Chalmers Fac tory an ideal of high quality at a fair price. Every essential part of Chalmers cars is built in the Chalmers shops by Chalmers trained men, Each part is not only fine in itself; it carries its maker's pride in his workmanship. For the Chalmers Factory provides every essential of fine production. t st. The buildings themselves are big, modem and light. The Factory is surrounded by wide lawns dotted with shrubs and flowers. It is a pleasant place to work. 2nd. Chalmers men know when they enter the factory that the best materials and most up-to-date tools will be provided them. And when they leave at night, it is with a sense of having built as well as human skill can build. 3rd. Chalmers workmen know that the ambition of the Chalmers Com panar is not for mammoth volume or quick profits, but rather for sufficient volume to give quality at medium prices, for a product of such excellence that Chalmers cars shall be always first among cars of their prices. . 1915 "Light Six" $1650 ' 1915 "Master Six" $2400 Fully equipped, f. o. b.
